Peter Higglna of Torrlngtoia, Democratic nominee for Congress speaking at the italian Democratic rally at EaoFia hall here last night, said:
 I am honorod to be your guest to- night. This is an important rally. NO group has . more important job to do in the remaining dayg of this campaign than your. am confident you will do this job, because you have always done good Job in the past.
 You know-perhaps better than f-hoW active the Republican Ital- ian-American groups ere ia this campaign. Certain facts about the war are being twisted by them and theft hope is to gain votes from this.
 Tt is our job to correct the mis. statements that gre being made.
 One of the reasons this war had to be fought was to save Italy as . Democratic nation. As you well know, this is well on the way tp completion.
 President Roosevelt the other day recognized the new Italian govern. Enent. one democracy Is extending the glad hand of friendship to al. other. The new government of Italy, ag Q partner Of other demo- cracieg, can now proceed with the job of making the Italian people . really free people once again.
 And let me say, with ell the emphasis I can give to it, Italy will De free again, from the south to tine border at the north, because boys of Italian descent in this country went acros the gea to re- store that freedom.
 These brave boys who glory in the nobility of their task, are the hberators of Italy. I have seen some Of their letters home and I know the Joy they feel. What . tremendous thrill they experienced when in some cases they freed their tlSlcles and Aunts and cousins and grandfotherS and grandfathers. We have seen the joy of these occaS- ions in the news pictureg-the efl. bractng and the kissing, the tears of gratitude and the smiles of c happiness that knew no bounds.
 Some boys died fighting for Italy'S freedom. Do you think that in their noble souls there iS any sorrow for this sacrifice? No -- heroes are not like that.
 Military yistory is not the whole task in Italy. There iS the equally important task Of rebuilding the nation, of restoring people to their homes, of Feestablishing them on their farms and in their jobs in the

COP. Probate Judge Can. didate Demands AboIi.
 tiOn of Fee Systems

Atty. Harry DeardSley, Republican candidate for Probate Judge, again attacked his opponent, incumbent Judge Patrick Heaiey (D) in . radio address over station WATR last night.
 Atty Beardsiey's address in part follows: Why did Judge Heaiey bTOadcagt last evening that no other one from Waterbury appeared be. fore the Judicial Commission to oppose the present fee system, when he was theref He isn't dunnbl To the contrary, he is a very GtreWd man. Why didn't he blast the vicious system before the Commission Ut- teFty condemned tt? 1t was his sworn duty to be the Peoples Chasl- pion. He says his iS "The Peoples Court" Why was he so epeechless? Draw your own conclusions.
 It took me three days Of constant brcadcaStS to smoke him out, at least as far as he dare come outl Now he tells about his 5000 deci- SionS. He says c appeals from him have been sustained. Do you know that probate decisions have co little standing that anybody can appeal to the Superior Court and have brand new trials without regard to the decisions? He talks of c life or continuing tenure" ct the job. Now wouldn't that be nice2 Listen to the Recordl
 Until three years ego, no Cne knew what the fee system paid him. No one, except the Income Tax Col- iector, peThapSI Three years ego the Leglsleture compelled him to account. Tn ie4i he reported over t17,O0O gross fees, in ie42 over ea2OOO fees, and in 1928 almost e32,OOO fees. In three years over eoi 900, or in his six years the tax- payers and payers of death dues have paid him almost Is of 6 niil- lion dollars. No wonder he wanta 1t for fife. He could own all Wa terbugy, k the 70 years of age" limit didn't stare him in the faceI
 Back Up the recommendations Of the judicial commission. Demand the abolition Of the fee system, that proper salaries be paid to the Judges and that the courts become state courts. Demand the appoint ment of state appraisers and the abolition of appraisal fees, which are another curse of the present system. Demand adequate prOtec. | ton of the small estates up to e6 yO0O by payment of the 1i0 fee, nov ar- plicabie to estates under 9i,00O.
 Connecticut is 6 grand old state with 6 constitutional government 300 years old. twice as old as the 1 federal constitution. Why do we tolerate this evil system, that our neighbors, New York and Massa> chtisetts scrapped many years ago7 Why do we allow l18 private p0li- tical probate machines to throttle us in tyranny? The temper of the people is rising and the next lesisla- ture is going to be hot. 1t is time to change the judge of probatel
