 q have about reached the con- clusion that if we are not to ob- tain the cooperation of the Navy in the matter of blackoutS, I should properly recommend that no more practice blackouts should be held in the state" said Comsr, Hickey's letter.
 The Army presented the commis- sioner list of plants to which the Navy has granted exception. And the Waterbury Tool Division of Vickers' Inc, which does not com- ply when blackout tests are con- ducted on the basis that the Navy had specifically instructed it's off, cials to ignore such drills, was not listed, according to Comsr Hickey's letter.
 Comsr. Hickey was an uneXpect- ed observer of Waterbury's surprise blackout test Tuesday night and mo- ticed the two brightly illuminated factories on East Aurora and West Main streets during the eight-min- ute red" period These were the only plants in this busy industrial center which failed to comply with civilian defense regulations, After witnessing the test, MT. Hickey said the matter would be adjusted in due time" though he did not say what he would do about it.
 "We have never received any noti- fi3ation of this exemption and you will recall that when I telephoned you yesterday morning." the letter said, you stated no such eXemp~ tion had been given, According to Army regulations. only the First Service Command may grant eX- emptions.

 in Essential War Plant

Men classified as 4-F by Selective Service, if they have had experience on dairy farms or general farms and are not now working in essen- tial occupations, will shortly receive a call to help relieve the states farm labor shortage, it was revealed today.

Names and addresses of these 4-F registrants will be re- quested by County War Boards under a Selective Service regulation which gives them this right. The War Boards will then send a letter to each registrant pointing out that help of experienced farm workers CTS is needed in food production and asking that the registrant call on designated representative of the War Board within 30 days to discuss matter of taking a farm job.
 Registrants who make no reply to the letter will be reported to the local Selective Service Board. Reg istrants will also be warned that if they ignore the appeal the War Board may consider requesting a waiver of physical disability which would permit their induction into the armed forces.

rubber that will conduct electricity Unlike natural rubber this synthetic rubber, when infused with certain pigments (principally carbon), is proving an excellent conductor. This new process was pioneered by the U. s. Rubber Co.,, but production details have already been distributed to other manufacturers under the induStry's patent pool. At present it's being used to prevent ice for nation on airplane propeller blades but soon it will also be employed as a "non-icer' on wings. Industry en- gineers insist it's postwar potential is as vast as the field now held by rubber as an insulator.
 The lineup for the 1914 PreSi- dential campaign is still far from certain because of the war, but it is beginning to shape up like this to Washington political eXperts:--
 Roosevelt will run for q fourth term. In the absence of any word to the contrary, both Democrats and Republicans are making their plans accordingly.
 Wallace has the inside track for en nom Il ation as Vice-PreSident simply because he has the job. How ever, if Roosevelt doesn't choose to take the IoWan along again, James F. Byrnes, Sam Rayburn, and Chester Davis are posSibili- ties.
 Willkie is currently the leading contender for the Republican nom ino ton.
 Bricker has been slipping in view of the COP observers in Congress, chiefly because of his vaguenesS on issues.
 The Macarthur boom doesn't impress Republican leaders here. It is considered pretty much a Hearst promotion.
 Dewey insists he isn't a candi- date. but he will be in the key spot should deadlock develop between Willkie and Bricker. Until then he is out of potshot range as q non- candidate. Moreover, he'll come into the convention in control of the largest single bloc of con- yention votes-NeW York'S.
 The Army will soon begin to taper off its training program. Some in duction stations are to be shut down; some training centers will be curtailed. Economies in "over- head" personnel are already being made by shifts to combat units of officers and men who formerly supervised training. The tapering off process will become more and more evident from now to the end of the year.
