Our Vice President

Henry Wallace returned from his mis- sion to China, and after making radio address and talking for two hours with President Roosevelt about his discoveries in the Orient, and his opinions and con- clusions, he failed to improve his chances for a second term as Vice President The leading Democrats in Washington are cold as clans toward Mir. Wallace.
 One outstanding news commentator seemed to put his finger on the right spot in recalling that Mir. Wallace was drafted in l94O because it was supposed he would carry the farmers vote for the Demo- cratic ticket. But when the votes were counted there was nothing to indicate that MT Wallace delivered the goods
 He has been sort of pet of the labor unions in the past three or four years those groups have been up to their ears in national politics, Even so, the Demo- cratic leaders flocked around President Roosevelt and urged him to ditch his Vice President

Democratic Convention KeynOter

At least from this long distance away, here in Waterbury. the record of Cover nor Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma, who will be the keynoter at next weeks Dem- ocratic national convention at Chicago, looks impressive.
 AS keynoter he will be one of the sparks at the convention and it seems worthwhile here to identify him to some extent. Forty-seven years of age, six foot three tall, lawyer by profession and man of personal wealth he is now serving the third year Of his first term as gover- nor Of Oklahoma.
 The record, on paper, reveals that dur ing his term he has so managed to reduce the states debt of 40,000,000, as of January. l943, to point where it will be liquidated by June. l945.
 He served as an artillery officer Tn World War l and was the youngest De- partment Commander of the Oklahoma American Legion in l925-26, in it's his tory.
 He is now serving his second term as national committeeman of the Okla homa Democratic convention and states that he is "a working Democrat who be- lieves that his party is and ought to be an instrument for progress, sound govern ment and social advancement"
 Coming from Oklahoma, if his tune" at the national convention is as good as those from the show by the same name there should be fine harmony prevailing.

In tho kit you should have either Q small vial of copper sulfate solutior-say flve grains of copper sulfate dissolved in inc fluid ounce of water: or, sttll more compact and convenient a wee vial or carton of one-grain copper sulfate tablets 1T you can get them.
 Now a good many readers who have sought Co equal first aid kit or a home medicine cupboard have encountered difficulty if not cis- couragement in the form og a quaint reluctance to sell copper sul- fate without prescription. since cops per Eulfate in large dose is POISON. ff the local ordinances or health board regulations impose this rec striction upon the sale of copper sulfate. that's that, and there's nothing you can do about it unless. perhaps. your own doctor will give his Okeh.
 The United States Pharnac0poeia and the British pharmacopoeia both list copper sulfate. giving the dose. as an astringent h grain. as an emetic s grains repeated in iS nin- utes # necessary but not again.

with the French has there been delay and pickering. An agreement was announced as having been reached in London on June [. ii was reputiated by General De Oaulle after the invasion and ai this writing still remains unsettled
 Full terms of the agreements with the Dutch. the Morse and the Belgian government have never been made public because Of the military clauses. The negotiations were conducted in both London and Washington. and were an- nomnced simultaneously in both capitals last May. The terms were approved by General Eisenhower as commander in chief for the Euro- pean theater of operations.
 Such parts of the agreements as were made public give General Eisenhower supreme responsibility and authority over civil adminis- tration as may be required by the military situation"
 THE NETHERLANDS PROvIDEs CARTE BLANCHE
 As an example of all three agree ments, in the cast of the Nether- lands government it is provided that General Eisenhower is actually empowered to take any and all measures necessary for military operations. It is presumed that this period of operations will be as short as possible. but while it lasts there are no qualifications whatever.
 As soon as this srst phase Of the liberation is ended, it is provided that General Eisenhower will in- form the Netherlands goaernment to take over complete responsibility for civil administration. Even then, however. it Is understood that such special facilities as the invasion forces may continue 10 require will be furnished by the Netherlands government for prosecution Of the war to its final conclusion.
 The broad powers and authority given to General Eisenhower under these terms are at once apparent. DE GAULGE WANTS
 RECOGNITION
 In the case Of the French. there was apparently every desire on the part Of General Eisenhower to use the services Of as many French Of- fieers as p0sslble-as advisers to Al- lied Military Government officials to establish contacts with the un- dergr0und, to help weed out Vieh, government ollaboTationlsts, to put transportation, communication and other public utilities back in sery- ice, to arrange bllleting. to act as interpreters-ln short t0 make the occupation Of France as easy as possible for American, British and Canadian forces,
 General De Oaulle has apparently tried to hold out his promise Of c0-0peration as a force 10 obtain recognition Of his Committee of Nae ti0nal Liberation as tine provisional government of France. That would Imply turning over to him the gold reserves Of the old French Republic giving him the right to Issue eur- reney and designate civil governors who would he ahoye the Civil Affairs Section 0f General Eisenlowers s supreme headquarterS, That far London and Washington have not been ready 10 go for the reason that De Gaulle has not been willing t0 eo-0peraEe as have the Dutch. the Aofsegians and the BelgIapS.

 DANAHER WIN
Waterburian Again Sounds Off On Cummings in Hart-
 ford Address

Hartford, Nov. 2 = Edward M Ryan of Waterbury last evening lashed out at Homer s. Cummings and his Office Boy," the Democra- tic candidate for the United States Senate. He said '"The voters of this state must choose between a very able Republican Senator John Dan- aher and very minor New Dealer and am sure tae voters will select Danaher to serve them for the next six years in the United States Sen- ate.'
 Said MT. Ryan in part" The vot- CTS of this state know Danaher. They know him to be a clear think ing statesman, one who will not stoop down into the mud to throw it back at his minor New Dealer op- ponent who has not heSitated to throw it at him.
 This New Deal minor is even be- coming more personal in his attacks on Danaher, becoming so personal and underhanded the right thinking people of our state, Republicans and Democrats alike are determined this sort of thing has no place in our political campaigns and those voters, Americans all, will go to the polls with vengeance in their hearts, ven- geance against Homer s. Cummings and his office boy Brien McMahon We know Danaher. We do not know his opponent. We know where Danaher lives, but not one per cent of our voters know where McMahon lives. Not one per cent of our people ever heard of McMahon until Cum mings won him the New Deal norn- ination.
 You have heard McMahon say he represented the government in the famous McKesson Robbins case few years ago. But you have never heard him say that he failed miser- ably to secure a single conviction in that case.
 You have heard him plead for the working men and women, but you have never heard him raise his voice on single occasion to defend

ALICE THOMPSON
 CLAIMS DIVORCE
Vera Ann Aston Byrne Also Asks Decree for IntOl-
 erable Cruelty

Divorce actions instituted by two Waterbury women today were en- tered on the superior court docket and will be returnable to court Nov. '.
 Alice Anderson Thompson seeks a divorce from George Fitzgerald Thompson, formerly of Waterbury and now of Burbank, Calif., on the ground of cruelty. The couple mar ried June 19, 1885, mad the petition CT claims she was deserted Oct. 15 194O. She seeks custody of their child.
 A charge of intolerable cruelty is the basis of the suit filed by Vera Ann Aston Byrne against Martin Byrne of Philadelphia, Pa. The marriage was performed July 31 1884, and the cruelty allegedly started March 1, 1886. The plaintiff seeks custody of their two children an allowance for support, and ali mony.
