Independents II Hold
 Rally Saturday Night
Acclaim John J. Kearney as Our Candidate''; Local Democrats Fail to Follow Guidance of Natl Leaders

mentioned have all claimed that there are no longer any real iso. lated communities or problems allc "that they are all phases brutallS affecting and in turn being af. fected by other aspects of gen eral idea"
 The statement then continues:
 "Our candidate for mayor, John J. Kearney, has stated, as part of his platform, that Waterbury must help lead the way to na- tional political reform and post war stabilization. In such a highly industrialized city as Waterbury, one who wishes us to take our r1ghtful place in the new world must be one who can "see beyond the end of his nose." MT. Rear ney, Q self-made man, does not depend upon mere academic knowledge. His is Q broader type based upon actual experience and contacts. Through his own work, as an executive dealing with vital defense machinery, he has trav- eled around the country exten- sively, meeting and dealing with many of these agencies and per- sonalties with whom the Demo- cratic opponents can only read about. Experiences of this sort make for more seasoned and responsible executive. The time has come for Waterbury to dis- card the lawyer-mayor for the business man, who because he was himself factory hand and worked himself up to an executive position, can understand the it1- dividual problems of labor, small business and the taxpayer in gen- eral. Only extensive personal ex- perience on a broad scale, like MT. Kearney's, can give one the atti- tude which is the foundation of good government.
 To deviate from the deeper as- poets of this problem, we arrive at the most paradoxical of all sit- uations in this present campaign. While the Democrats shout that this is purely local, city election, they are very careful that pub- ncity be stified as to the real is- sues-namely, the ambitious of J. Francis Smith and the governors chair.
 The J. Francis Smith machine having once before been discred- tied as @ statewide machine, 1t

is again trying to take into It's clutches the entire state of Con- necticut. Having resolved that we, the Independent Democratic Party, shall free the City of Wa terbury from any further domi- nation by a secret group like J. Francis Smith and others, 1t is a sacred duty for Us to destroy, once and for all, any attempt of theirs to foist their rnachinations upon the state. It Is the duty of all honest, clear thinking citizens to defeat the present mayor, this year 50 that his sponsor (the power behind the tiIlone-J. Francis Smith will be removed from the local realm of politics.
 The only recourse for Water bury is 8 return to above the board" political action. Be 1n- dependent -- Vote Independent. Pull the bottom (third) lever and give John J. Kearney a chance to give Waterbury Q square deal.

New York, Oc. 2S.-Bad blood in Las Vegas, Nev., threatens to in- terrupt production of magnesium for airplanes and bombs.
 Las Vegas is the tWo-fisted Wild West town that grew out of the des- ert, now notorious as the last from tier.
 Washington officials were not worried over "colorful" Las Vegas, as long as the Basic Magnesium plant nearby continued to produce that precious industrial metal. But they are worried today because bad blood between labor and manage ment threatens to let the electroly- tic cells get cool, which means a complete stoppage of production for weeks.
 The management (Anaconda Cop per, under the contract with Defense Plant Corporation) accuses the CIO union of melting race friction between white and Negro workers And the CIO accuses Anaconda of bad faith in refusing to recognize the union.
 The situation was bad enough before this issue developed. Labor turnover has been high from the be- ginning, due to the intense desert heat, chlorine gas in the air, plus general discomfort. Bad food has sent as many as 12S men to the hospital after Q single meal, and for Q long time the only place to cash Q pay check was in Q gambling house.
 To offset labor turnover running as high as 250 men @ day, the man. agement got help from Los Angeles police judges, who would sentence Q man to Thirty days in jail-or Las Vegas. Buns arrived by the bus load, working long enough to draw their first pay, and quit.

lean occupation had made, it hadn't
done away with that. For the next
two hours everything stopped in it's
tracks, and nobody would venture
out in the broiling midday sun. No
body with any sense, anyway, she
thought.
She looked around again. AS a
matter of fact it wasn't particularly
hot, actually, and the contrast of
the sudden silence with all the move
ment and noise and blaring of horns
was very pleasant. She had set out
to see the old city without realizing
what time it was, she realized, and
she might just as well do it.
It was not until she crossed the
cobbled road in front of the Ca
thedral and started down Caleta San
Juan, the steep lane that leads to the
old gate, that she began to wish she
had not been so energetic. It really
was hot.
She stopped and looked back up
at the Cathedral. As she turned
around again, man came out of
one of the doorways near the bot
tom of the street and took a few
steps up the hill.-Or he had done
that before she turned, she thought
suddenly, because it was hardly an
instant before he wheeled about
quickly-so quickly that he could not
have been aware she had seen him
and disappeared into a doorway.
Anne stopped abruptly. It was
Miguel Valera. She had not been
sure as he turned, but she was sure
seeing his back in the three or four
steps he took before he vanished.
But why had he vanished? He must
have recognized her.
For moment she hesitated about
going on down, and decided that
would be silly. AS she got down
there, she was not quite sure which
door he had gone into. They were
close together, all open, all dark
and dank inside, with zigzag stairs
going up narrow wells. They were
all seemingly deserted too. She
went on without looking into any of
them if he wanted to avoid
her, that was his privilege. But as
she passed one house she had a
sharp feeling that she was being

Empty Chair This Year.
There will be no Christmas like
that old Christmas this year; not
anywhere in the whole world. Not
anywhere-father, mother, children,
kinsfolk sitting down together to tur-
key and oyster soup and mince pie.
There is an empty chair this year
beside Mother, and Aunt Emily is
very quiet in her new black. The
smallest baby gets his rattle and his
new blankets, but he doesn't get a
kiss from his Daddy. Daddy has
been a prisoner of war for long and
weary months.
Everyone is resolutely cheerful,
but the old gaiety is laid aside for
awhile. The women's voices aren't
murmuring about sage in the dress
ing or the ridiculous cost of doll
buggies. No, this year it's "Still
missing, Grandma. But Jim was a
wonderful swimmer, and we hope"
"They heard last week; he may
have leave in February" ''They got
the boxes off way back in October,
but of course we don't know that
they got there" Hes a lieutenant
now, Uncle George-in Italy, we
think" And so on and on until the
roll call of every beloved name
and the Brown boy, and the Smith
boy, and Mary Jones husband, and
Helenss father, is complete.
Oh, hope the boys know it, know
how our hearts are with them, how
we pray for them and think of them
and thank them, on all the battle
fronts! In the long dull days of
marking time in our camps, in the
dreadful lonely white Aleutians, on
the blazing roaring red lines of war,
their mothers and wives and sisters
are with them, every hour of the
day.

the windows and candlelight on the
tree; the children may still arrange
their tableaus and charades; the
cousins and aunts may still come
trooping in out of the cold to the
welcoming fire.

Don't stop. If we're to have the

heart into making the family feel
happy and confident. We must think
of the words we sing in the Christ
mas hymns. "For in that darkness
shineth an everlasting light; the
hopes and fears of all the years are
