Gov, Raymond E. Baldwin speak ing in Hartford last night accused Sidney Hillman, executive of the Q. I. o. Political Action Committee of attempting to gain personal power and prestige through his af- flliatIon with the Democratic party"
 Gov. Baldwin denounced the PAC leader as an associate of "conlmun- ists" and of trying to usurp poe ltical standards in Connecticut.
 The text, in part, of the Cover nor's address is as follows:
 The casting of Q ballot on Election Day is a privilege and Q sacred duty. That can never be emphasized too much. You know that as well as l do. You appreciate the importance of your ballot. Tn approaching this duty of casting your ballot, 1t iS well that you and and every voter should have Q clear, intelligent un- derStanding of the Issues that are in the balance and likewise the general situation that surrounds the major political parties compet- ing for success at the polls.
 1 have the utmost confidence In the Judgment of the American people. When they fairly under stand the issues, when they know all of the facts that are to be known, they can make on honest and just decision. It should be the purpose of political campaign, to inform the voters of the issues at stake, the position of the respective eandi- dates with reference to them, and all of tn facts and circumstances that enable the voter to judge them completely and fairly.
 You know, that for many years we have had two major political parties, in Connecticut and in our nation, First the one, and then the other, has been in power In Connecticut and elsewhere 0 great number of registered Republicans vote, consistently, the Republican ticket. Likewise, in Connecticut, there are Q great number of regis tered Democrats who vote con- Sistently the Democratic ticket Registered with neither party are Q great number of independent voters These Independent voters, together with many who change from one party to another. depending upon whether they personally favor the candidates or policies of that party really determine the outcome oi most of our elections. They have the balance of power, This hai been proven over and over again ir political history. It Is typically American because our indiVidua ballots belong to Us to do with then what we will.

An AWOL soldier was captured on East Main street last night after putting up a battle with a detective as hundreds of specaors gathered.

Governor Calls PAC
 Head c Communist Aide
IiIman Trying to Usurp Political Standards in Con- nectCut Says Baldwin in Hartford Speech

cluding many of the original found. CTS, ran Q full page advertisement in the New York Post, This is what that advertisement said and ! quote from it.
 The Public Affair Council, con- slsting of hundreds of Liberals as. sociated with the American Labor Party, and speaking for the thouS- ands of Liberal voters, believe that control of the American Labor Party by the Hillman- Communist coalition would strike Q mortal blow at the cause of the Liberal move ment in this country.
 For some years there was openly 0 Communist Party in the United States. This party was actually list- ed on the voting machines in many of our states. It nominated candi- dates for state and national office, But within the last year 1t was publicly announced by Earl Browder that the Communist Party had been dissolved. You and I may now well ask ourselves where are these Communists and where Is their poll tical leadership and support going or upon whom has 1t been bestowed Do you think for one instant that 1t can be going to the Republican Party2 You know very well that the Republican Party repudiates 1t and would never accept 1t,
 Now. MT. Hillman sees in this campaign the opportunity to do in the whole nation what he has al. ready done in New York state with tho American Labor party, With his political organization, both within the state of New York and across the country, including our own state of Connecticut, he hopes through this organization to deter mine the outcome of this election in favor of the New Deal Democratic coalition. frankly believe that MT. HillmAn is not 90 much con- cerned with the success of the New Deal as he Is with his own advance. ment in the leadership of organized labor and his elevation to Q posi- ton of political power and influence in our national government.

 "senator Danaher said then that this question was silly.
 1T maintain that this question was not silly. maintain that this question gave the people Of Connec- ticut the opportunity to evaiuate MT. Danaher. It gave them the chance to see whether he still adheres to his pointless isolationism. His quib- bling lip service to International cooperation will deceive no one. You may rest assured he has qualified it sufficiently to permit to resume, If he is elected, his onslaught on our allies and cooperation with the ether nations of the earth"
 MT. McMahon asserted that the record was the only way in which the voters could judge 6 candidate. He pointed out that Danaher had been careful to avoid discussing isolation ism and his record of voting against the measures designed to arm this country to withstand attack.
 This is no time for chameleonG in politics." MT. McMahon declar- ed. "A candidate for the high of- flee of United States Senator must stand four-square before the people in this critical year of decision The people must know exactly how he stands in regard to the working out of a permanent peace. This ia no time for weasel words or trying to change colors."
 MT. McMahon praised the for- eign policy as worked out by Presi- dent Roosevelt and Secretary ot State Hull. and reafilrmed his be- lief that the United States Senate must be prepared to work along the lines indicaed by the President to make peace certain.
 We cannot falter this year as we did in lol0," he said. We cail- not take the chance of Q misgtep which might turn us in the direction of World War III. We must elect men whose record of devotion to the cause of peace cannot be chal- lenged."

HEARING DEFECTS
 HANDICAP YOUTHS
Surveys Indicate { Out of Every 100 Students in
 State Impaired

Focusing attention on the needs Of the hard or hearing is the aim of National Hearing Week which begins October 2i, The week is devoted to puhlielSing the problem Of defective hearing. Pointing out the value of such puhlieixing the problem of defective hearing, Point ing out the value of such Q week, the weekly bulletin of the Con- nectlcut State Department of Health devoted Its current issue to this Sub- jeet and mentioned the fact that Connecticut school surveys indicate that about { of every 100 school children have impaired hearing.
 The hearing of Q large number of Connecticut school children Is so defective as to be handicap. Tn attention or apparent mental re tardation are often found to be the result of inability to hear, which means that the child cannot learn as readily aS other pupils, Retarda. ton In school occurs twice aS often among children with c hearing de- feet AS among normal children, and speech defects are eight times more frequent among the children with defective hearing.
 As the health and welfare of children is of special concern. q well rounded program of hearing conservation is essential, Such . community plan requires not only the services Of physicians, health agencies and schools, but also or- ganizatlons like the Leagues for the Hard of Hearing which for many years have been working with this problem.
 A program for conserving hearing should include care finding through group testing in the schools by means of the audiometer, If done properly this test will discover chil- dren with hearing loss. Parental education as to the need for medi- cal attention by determining the typre and cause Of the hearing loss Is also necessary, Remedial instrue- ton such as lip reading or speech training in speech and voice are stil lother aspects of the eonServa- ton program, In addition, voca- tional guidance and training are needed in instances of severe hear- ing loss.
