Incidentally, there is some talk throughout the state of changing the date of state elections. That's . COP standard argument. They don't like to come up for reelection fin . year when there is 8 presi- dential election with such vOte- getter on the Democratic side of the ticket as Franklin DelanO Roosevelt. How they would argue were they in office, nationally, it's hard to say. But right now the move is to shift state elections to tho odd years. Where there would be . conflict with local elections, such as right here in Waterbury, which votes on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of NOvem- Der in the odd years, it Is proposed that the cities vote for local Off1- cfals in October.

The irnpracticality of this plan Is very obvious. It's surprising that it would be given serious considera-.
 .tion by any elected official. To set up election machinery in any one year is not only a task, but also 8 heavy expense in the case of the larger cities with their nu- merous voting machines and elec- ton districts. To do so twice within the short space of one month would be next to impossible and if any local contest developed a deadlock or Q disputed outcome it would cer- tairly tend to handicap officials in preparing for the November cleo tion. At the 1943 legislature a con- stitutional amendment was adopted by the House which puts state cleo ttoI1s on a quadrennia1 basis begin ming in 1850. It was one of five such amendments instituted by the House and due to come up again for action in 1945.

French Cabinet
Gels Red PAD
Approval Deemed
Almost Certoin

PARIS, Dec. % - (P) 49, The
new French Russian 20-ycar Al
lance was sent 10 the French
cabinet today for what was eX-
pected TO be certain ratification
following its approval yesterday
by a unanimous vote of the CON
sultatlvC assembly.
At the conclusion Of ycStcr-
days debate on the pact, which
is designed 10 contain Germany
between EurOpc's most power
full postwar countries, Gen.
Charles De Gaulle declared
France was determined TO help
form world peace organization
i'm which she expected the Unit
ed States TO take a leading role.
"A real international Organi-
cation is necessary and in this or
ganization who could be first IN
rank if not the United States
whose efforts in the western
theater and in the Pacific are
enormous De Gaulle said.
Reacting TO his statement the
consultative assembly adopted
resolution calling for companion
pacts which would build up to
the world security organization
De Gaulle's appearance be-
fore the Assembly was greeted
with enthusiastic applauS.
"The world is beginning to
realize" he said, that it is i'm
possible to settle the great prob
lens of the world without
France. Perhaps she is also
beginning to realize that victory
cannot be gained without France
In both spheres France assumes
full responsibilities"
Earlier, Fore ign Minister
Georges Bidault told the assem-
bly, France intends to help mount
guard on the Rhine after the war
TO keep the Rhineland and Ruhr
industries out of German hands
He also declared the French ma
ton intends TO help Poland eX-
pand westward into SileSla.
During the recent conferences
in Moscow which eliminated in
the Alliance, the French were
reported to have promised to
support the Russian case for the
old Curzon line in Poland.

Burying Body
But Denies Port
in Womsn's Death

LOS ANGELES, Dec. % -
Up District Attorney Fred N.
Howser has declared that Mrs.
Louise Peetc Judson, So, who
was paroled from a state prison
after being convicted of Staying

Mrs. Logan has suffered skull
fracture and that a bullet had
pierced the back of her neck.
Howser did not release the
statement, written by Mrs. Jud-
son in longhand, but said that
in it Mrs. Judson declared that
Mrs. Logan was killed by her
husband. Arthur c. Logan, in an
insane frenzy. Logan died two
weeks ago at Patton State Hos
pital for the Insane. He had
been sent there the first week
of last June.
The district attorney said Mrs,
Judson admitted burYing Mrs.
Logan's body, declaring that she
was afraid a police inquiry
would point suspicion toward
her because she had been pa
rolled from prison.
Mrs. Judson was paroled after
serving 10 years Of a life sem
tence on her conviction of muir
dering Jacob c. Denton. wealthy
Los Angeles oil and mining man,
in 1920.
Officers also were inquiring
into the death of Mrs. Emily

whom Mrs. Judson was living
shortly before she married Lee
Borden Judson. 67-year-old bank
messenger, last May. Mrs. Lath-
ans death was aScribed to a
heart attack and her body was
cremated.
Judson is held as material
witness in the death Of Mrs.
