$4,000 ACRES

The company's growers have
contracted for $4,000 acres in
1913. a substantial reduction from
acreage contracted a year earlier.
The cut. Mr. BoStock said, was
due to the 1913 government sugar
beet program not being deter
mined until late in March and
also to concern of growers in
regard 10 getting adequate labor.

tinous rainfall during the nor

Cold Winter Ahead Whatever You Burn This Winter - Oil or Coal
 - It's Going to Be Cold
BY DREW PEARSON (Author of the Washington '1Gerry- Co- ROund")

OpA experts several months ago recommended coupon rationing of coal. A warm debate followed be- tween OPA and the Solid Fuel Co., ordinator, in which Ickes, supported by the coal industry, opposed ra- tioning.
 But OPA experts believed coal would be short this winter and, dur Ing the summer. laid plans for cou- pon rationing. Tn August, they were all ready to go to press with mill lions of coupon books.
 Finally, however, the Coal Co-or- dinator vetoed the plan. Now it is too late to impose coupon rationing partly because there is not suffi- cient time to print the coupons and give out instructions to local boards also because some coal is already distributed-inequitably-to consum- CTS.
 Thus we shall have to rely on dealer rationing." This does not limit consumption-only strings out the supply in driblets, making a greater delivery task without de- creasing consumption.
 The public believes that oil is bountiful compared with coal, and OPA is now besieged with applica- tions for reconversion from coal to oil. These applications are being resisted, since the impression of abundance of oil is merely an illu- sion.

Senate Check On Spending

Washington, Nov. 11.-(UP)-The senate appropriations committee to- day assigned auditors to start checking the books and records of all governmental agencies engaged in wartime spending abroad, espe- cially lend-lease.
 It was the senate'S response to the charge of five senators who toured the world this summer that foreign spending lacks coordination and does not always keep the inter ests of American taxpayers foremost. The group especially was critical of some lend-leaSe operations.
 The response of President Roose- welt and the British government also is scheduled for today. MT Roosevelt addressed to congress a special report on lend-lease opera tions which will emphasize the raw materials the United States has re- ceived for lend-lease expenditures since March II, 1941. The British government was scheduled to re- lease white paper outlining the repayments it has made for lend lease aid.

SPECIAL ELECTION
 PLAN DISCARDED
Hartford Democrats to Select Winner; Printing
 Bill Below Estimates

No special election will be held in Hartford to determine a winner between the two tied Democratic aldermen candidates in Hartford due to the agreement signed by both to allow the Hartford Democratic town committee to settle the issue.
 The two candidates, Walter J. Popielarczyk and Patrick J. Ward decided yesterday that, if legal, such move would be the best alternative.
 As the Hartford charter states that a voter can vote for only three out of the six candidates for alder men at large, Superior Court Judge William J. Comley expressed the in- depreciation that special election would be illegal because the voters would then be voting twice for these two candidates having voted for them last week.
 AS this same situation was similar to the Waterbury condition that arose between Republican Aldermen William Gerardi and George King ston in last weeks city election the same interpretation was ruled to hold by many here in the city. How ever, the special election was held resulting in a victory for Gerardi and no protest will be offered by Kingston. Waterburys charter calls for the candidacy of 16 aldermen, 15 of whom are to be elected by the method of declaring the lowest vote getter to be the loser.
 Pertinent to the local special cleo ton was the announcement yester- day that the citys expenses for the printing the ballots will be SITS in- stead of the $500 originally esti- mated by the secretary of states office.

 For several months throat cul- lures were taken from all the en- listed personnel of the WAC's sta toned at the camp. While much of the information was withheld, med ical officers disclosed that two of the important findings deal with the time that the meningococcus or ganism can be harbored by an in- dividual and the length of time be- tween periods when a carrier has the germs and when he is free from them.

10 years he watched the founder ings and analysed the weaknesses of that theological failure. He saw the need for a strong central au- thority to impose penalties and compose differences.
 Years later his book and it's plan were called fantastic, but the development of ominous events in Europe made international thinkers turn back to study Streit's ideas. Since then he has addressed more than 1000 audiences, and local branches of Federal Union, Inc, are scattered through half dozen countries. Of the latter, Canada long has employed Federal Union principles in dealing with it's Brit ish- French population. And so has Switzerland, with it's blend of Ger man, Italian and French cantons.
 The global plan would begin with the North American democracies as nucleus. The Central Union Gov ernment would have two legislative houses, with representation based on population and with the Sen ate's chief responsibility to be the safeguarding of the rights of indiv- idual state governments against en- croachment by the central author ity.
 HAS FIVE POINT PLAN
 The executive branch would con- Sist of board of five, with three elected by direct popular vote of the people and two chosen by the House and Senate. The Union judiciary would be modelled after our own. The crux of Streit's plan consists of five points which, though start ling in their application, are similar in sense to the federal functions of our government.
 Streit's plan envisions: Ia Union government and citizenship; "a Union defense force; 3-a Union customs; 4-a Union money, postal and communications system; and, 5 the Union Central government to protect all the democracies and guar antee the right of each to govern it's home affairs independently, whether as a republic, a nominal monarchy or socialist state.
 Streit points out that no country that once achieved federation ever has rejected it. And he believes that all the nations not originally included in the plan would be anxious to join world union.

 starting Monday, Novmeber 29th The Waterbury Savings bank is credited with club savings of $750,000.
 The total distribution Is 3 per cent ahead of last year in spite of the fact that there is a decline of 50O,00O participating members this year. This reduction in members is occasioned by stream -linin the Christmas Club to the war effort in urin individuals in one family to consolidate 50 cents, $1.00 and $200 weekly payment accounts into one single account of a larger denom- ination to conserve manpower op- eraitons in the banks. The average per-member distribution increased to $56 as compared with $49 last year by the use of this formula.
 The use of Christmas Club checks this year shows a substantial in- crease in percentages applied to war savings bonds, permanent sav- ings and government urged anti infiationary purposes.
