back seat climbed little old lady.
She was dressed completely in black.

wanted them 10 get out Of town and
do their feeding in the Great Open
Spaces. Warden Harris quickly
turned the trick-with a little en-

He put out a call for 40 or 80
youngsters and made it plain that
they could make all the noise they
wanted TO. The response was imme-
diate.
The din was tough on the Spear

money. Armed with bells, horns and
tin pans, the boys split the town wide
open-and drove every last deer
back into the hills.

ft could not be determined today who would Dc the choice of the come mittee as chairman and the possib- illty os a contest ensuing will result in a close vote it was declared Co. day. Waterburys four members of the state central committee are: Maurice 2. Tananey. town chair. man. Atty. Prank T. Healey, Mrs. Winifred Mcdonald and Mrs. Ger. trude Gordon.
 Two factions will be present at the meeting when the interests of the Maloney-Smith group and those of former Governor Robert A. Hurley, Atty. BFien McMahon and Homer Cummings are expected Co attempt to choose a candidate for the chair manship which will be satisfactory to the state party.
 The Maloney Smith faction have called for election of a neutral" chairman not identified with either side. However. at this date the lead. ing candidates seem to be Judge Charles E. Mahoney Of Windsor, backed by the Maloney-Smith group and John M. Golden. a Hurley booster. Golden has claimed, how. ever, that he Is not a candidate.
 It is expected that Hurley will be present at tonight's meeting and it always has been customary for the committee to first hear the choice of their gubernatorial candi- date as to his selection of a chalr. man It Is possible however that the latter's choice will not be satisfac. tory to the Maloney-Smith interests in which case a contest of sorts is anticipated.
 Just who would be acceptable as compromise candidate could not be determined today and there seemed little likelihood of such . possibility.
 It has been pointed out that the Hurley McMahon- Cummings forces hold the whip hand" to consider able degree as result of their sweep- ing domination of the recent Dem. ocratic state convention. However, there is the determining factor of the awareness that the majority of the central committee members are. or were. more favorably inclined to- ward the Maloney-Smith interests within the party, at one time.
 Local members of the committee are expected to leave by inid-after- noon today. for the meeting.

 For Returning Veterans
C. l. Joe to Find Comprehensive Setup for Rehabita.
 tinO, Retrainlng, Unemployment

AS a means Of acqualntlnR Con. nectlcut Industry with the new laws concerned with the refrigeration os the returning veteran Co community life, 6 unemployment digest entitled "When the veteran Returns" has been mailed recently to Connect. cut manufacturing establishments and interested agencies by the Man. uiacturers Association of Conneeti- cut. Inc.
 The book, comprehensive in scope, deals with c. !. JoeS new three Rs-R Rehabilitation Retralnlng and Unemployment. ManaRement ls told that a large percentage Of return. ing veterans wii have to make some mental establishments. Through patient handling they win return to normal in due time and this re. turn to normal win be accelerated by a good job in human engineer ing" In dealing with the rehabilita. ton of the disabled veteran, the booklet. sponsored by the fndustrials committee. states:
 Tt is inevitable that the reem- ployment of service men will involve rehabilitation questions which, ln many cases. will be of a very seri. ous nature.
 "connecticut employers have had considerable experience during the var period with the rehabilitation of the physically handicapped and have learned the magnificent con. tffbution these people can make. They have found that the handi. capped individual. properly placed on appropriate work, will usually cease to be handicapped as far as the job to which he is assigned is concerned. No longer is it assumed that the mere employment of . handicapped person represents a financial burden, for the employer has discovered that the so-called handicapped worker has proven to be equally as elflcient as the physl- cally normal person because of his interest in the job"
 Charles r. Watkins, Committee Chairman and Industry Member Of the Regional War Labor Board in Boston. who is Vice President of the U. & Finishing Company. Norwich, states in the introduction that eve have long been studying the sec riousness of the problems concern ing the unemployment of men and women in the armed forces Na- turally, an undertaking such as this cannot be as complete and thorough as desired because Of the changing character of legislation and of the times themselves" He mentions a wholesome and encouraging spirit Of team play throughout and refers to the cooperation received from the Connecticut Unemployment Com- mission. the Veterans Administra- ton.

WiIIkie Gets FDR Bid

Washington. Aug. li-(UPD-- President Roosevelt has invited Wendell L.. Willkie to a White House conference. it was learned here to- day.
 The conference, a responsible source said, will be non-poiitical at Wilikle's request and will deal solely with the nations policies.
 Tn New York, the l0s0 Republi, can presidential candidate refused flatly to comment on reports that he had received the invitation. The reports, probably emanafing from Washington, had been circulating some time.
 The presidents letter of invita- ton was sent after Willkie had been sounded out on the subject of a meeting with MT. Roosevelt. The letter was sent just before the pFes- ident left on his Hawaiian trip and suggested a meeting some time after his return,
 Tn connection with the sounding out process, 1t was said, Willkie as. serted that he would not talk with the president in his role as head Of the Democratic party and its candidate for reelection but that, in wartime. he naturally could not refuse to confer with the president about matters of national policy,
 The president, it was said, then wrote Willkie assuring him that there would be no discussion Of campaign affairs At the proposed meeting and that nothing would be said or done to embaTras the caller politically,
 Jt was understood here that no definite date has been set for the conference. The expectation was that t probably would be some time ip September,
