proportionate share Of supplies. that
these supplies will be distributed
evenly within the state, and that
our buyers Of liquors, whether by
drink or package, shall be protect
ed as to quality and price, and that
the abuse Of combination sales,
mal-distribution, favoritism to GER
tain buyers, black marketeertng and
other current ills shall be checked,
If not stopped completely"
at is not our purpose or thought
to guarantee q satiation Of the pres
ent abnormally inordinate demand
for liquors. Everyone knows that
the existing supply available could
never do that. There is every rea-
son to believe, however. that with
prudent buying, moderate consump-
ton and an intelligent handling OF
the present shortage situation by the
industry, the current supply should
take care Of our needs for dome
time. Regardless Of any method
adopted by another state. we IN
Connecticut propose to secure al,
orderly and legal distribution OF
what Is allotted to US, whether 1t be
one thousand or one hundred
thousand cases each month"
I'VE do not advocate nor antici-
pate rationing for Connecticut. GER
tainly not federal rationing; first,
because 1t is not now necessary;
second, because liquor must be re-
garded as q luxury. not an essen
tial food requirement; and third,
because the sale Of liquor Is dis
tinctly a state problem and q state
right, to be handled and controlled
as the state sees fit. If rationing
must come, we believe Connecticut
will initiate and direct its own plan
We feel, however. that with a strict
observance on the part OF our per-
mittees, Of our laws and regulations
the aid Of our local and state en-
forcement officers. and the gener-
GUS cooperation Of the public by its
recognition Of the spirit as well as
the letter Of the law. rationing will
not be needed in Connecticut.
There is no reason for our peo-
pie to be gouged or chiseled In Their
liquor purchases. Under the pres
emit price schedules, even with di-
minished supplies. our permittees
are making bigger profits than ever
before.
1--WE shall use every force and
power to keep the industry clean In
Connecticut. We appeal to the peo-
pie OF our state to stop inordinate
buying, stop boarding. drink mod
erately. refrain from participation
In illegal and black market pur-
chases. and report violations ir
price or distribution. We ask oui
permittees to do likewise. We as
sure you prompt and efficacioul
action on our part II the neces-
sary evidence Of wronsdolng Is furn-
ished US. We shall not hesitate ar
instant to suspend or revoke the
privilege Of any permittee whether
he be 9 distiller or importer. manu-

with Truman Enroute to Chicago, Oct. 24-(UP)--Sen. Harry s. Tru- man, Democratic nominee for vice. president, today invaded Wisconsin, the home state of one of the eight isolationiSt Republican senators whom he asked Gov. Thomas E Dewey to Tepudiate.
 The candidate challenged Dewey to repudieate the eight in an ad- dress at Minneapolis yesterday and renewed his demand in statement Issued last night His associates said he would toll of" the days awaiting an answer from Dewey and unless he receives response, launch Q new attack on the Re- publican record on foreign policy In 0 speech at Worcester, Mass, next Saturday night,
 "Mr Dewey says that he Is in favor of 0 strong foreign policy" " Truman said. " called upon him In Minneapolis to tell us whether that was 0 statement of his sincere convictions or mere campaign oratory as it was with Harding when he made c similar statement In 1920" ..
 If Mr. Dewey meant 1t, he would ask for the election of senate that would support Q strong foreign policy and the defeat Of the eight isolationists who were nominated by the RepublicanS,'
 Truman said Dewey should An' Swer the question today and in any event should "give his answer te the American people promptly"

Neglected Man. Finds Champion

Pueblo, Colo, Oct, 24 - (U,P) -' The Neglected Man" was subSti- tuted by Governor John W, Bricker of Ohio today for the New Deals famous "Forgotten Man" in on ap- peal for the votes of the morgan. ized white.eollar workers.
 The COP vice presidential noili- inee, in e speech prepared for de. livery here, said that the greatest contribution of the new deal to clerks, stenographefs, bookkeeperS, small manufacturers, small merch. ants, and professional men was dis illusionment."
 "The present-day counterpart of the forgotten man." Bricker said, "iS the neglected man the great middle class woh work for a salary or for an uncertain income
 Bricker said the new deal had offered the country Q utopia" in which wealth was to come from spending; plenty from scarcity
 What's happened to him tthe neglected mann Is one of the most tragic developments of our times Bricker said. He has been outraged by government eXtravaganceS, dic- tation, and the double-talk of the new deal. Moreover between the War Labor Board, War Manpower Commission and the Office of Pro- duction Management, he has been squeezed between the irrisistable forces of arbitrary price controls, wage control and labor control"

Brewster Rops BoII's Move

Washington, october 24, tUP) = Senator owen Brewster, R., Me, today ridiculed speculation that Senator Joseph IT. Ball, R., Minn,, who said he would support President Roosevelt for fourth term be- cause of his stronger foreign policy, would fall heir to political followers of the late Wendell Willkie.
 Brewster, vice-chairman of the Senate Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, said in an in- terview that Willkie and Ball had been in disagreement on several is- sues. and that for several months prior to his death, Willkie was not on speaking terms with the young Minnesota liberal.
 Tt is impossible to believe that someone who was utterly persona non grata to another man could take on his mantle, and any implica- ton to that effect is strain on credulity," Brewster said.
 Brewster said he was aware of the strained relations between the two men because Ball solicited my help" to patch up the differences. Any presumption that he would now become Willkie's successor is "con- travention of fact" Brewster as- serted.

Hartford, Oct. 24.--state Comp troller Fred R. Teller has received a detailed report by independent con- struction engineers regarding the roof of the Tuberculosis Intlrmary at the Middletown State Hospital which is slipping off inch by inch,
 Buck & Buck, engineers and architects of Hartford, reported to Zeller that the cost of correcting the faulty design and construction of the roof would be $l4000 and that the work should be done inme- diately. The original cost of the building was $l94,26l according to st0te records,

of the institution, has roped e| an area surrounding the dnnsofcu roof sector to prevent enployos oK others from coming into the danse zone,
 That the condition is Structural is shown by the engineers report which reveals failure to "tlo Ila# the roof in the customary manner That the condition is not due Co the recent hurricane is borne out hy the fact that the original core spondence between Teller and the consulting engineers is dated Sept 6, l944, i2 days before the recent hurricane struck.
 Furthermore, zeller himself point. ed out that had the damage been caused by the hurricane the state could collect since windstorn iii~ surance is carried on such state- owned properties.
 Buck & Bucks report relates that 63l0 square feet of heavy slate roof must be removed; new deck laid: and the roof replaced. The figure of $i4,0o0 is arrived at by figuring the use of much of the pres= ent slate which, the engineers as~ sert, is salvagable,
 How much of the original cost Of the building was taken up by design work is not reaveled by state recs ords, zeller reveals. Under the system in use by the now abolished State Department of Public Works. consulting and technical fees were not pro-rated to individual pros jects but were Jumped.
 Where such expense items do aps pear, Zeller pointed out as an ilius- tration of the ambiguity of the re- ports, such items as typists' pay ur similar routine work, might be in+ cluded in the figure.
