This Is Town
 Allies Are
 Fighting For
By Associated Press

Cherbourg, main port on the French peninsula stormed by AL lied invasion troops, has rocked un- der English blows since the 18th century. This port and naval sta ton was captured by them in 141S after a three-month siege.
 Cherbourg. a city of 35,00O, has two harbors- naval and conner eial-which are about a half-mile apart. The naval harbor consists of three main basins cut out of rock, and is about 55 acres in area, with a minimum depth of 30 feet Near the harbor are drydoeks. ship build ing yards, magazines and rope walks.
 Beyond these harbors is a tri- angular bay, forming the roadstead of Cherbourg The largest of yes sells can enter the ports roads, which have excellent anchorages. Naturally sheltered on three sides, the fourth side of the port is pro- teeted by a huge breakwater two and a half miles in length, and $50 feet in width.
 Cherbourg, supposedly built on the site of the Roman station of Coriallum, became of military im- portanCe under Philip Augustus. Louis XIV attempted to construct a military port there, and addition al Qualifications were put up under the direction of Marquis de Vauban in 1886, only to be dismantled three years later.
 Louis KY started construction of harbor-works, which were con tinued by Napoleon, and finally completed by Louis Phillipe and Napoleon III. By 1858, about eight million pounds had been expended on the works, which were extended further in 1889.

LL9NNIIS NOVf ~

DENVER The way my history book reads, states rights haven been worth a hoOL pOuucally since lust alter Ehe Civil war. As pol luIcaI issue they haven't even been a good red herring.
 I'm not sure that they are now, but after a swing around the eoun- uy rom Washington, D. C., to the west coast and this far back, cant DelIeye that there has been any Llme since the Reconstruction eEa when both politicians and for Ward-tnlnklng citizens have been more wrought up over the rights o1 the states as opposed to the power taken over by the federal govern ment than they are today.
 In the grass roots, the tarmers- especially the large scale operators are grumDnng over price con troIs, Iauur shortages, Iarm machln- cry, the federal tax program, aRu the endless reports ana InFestiga- ttons to which they are subjected.
 In the industrial areas around the Great Lakes and east and west, industry is bucking the War Labor board, priorities, the War Man power commission, federal taxes, endless reports, and several other government wartime controls.
 In California there's a storm over the acreage limitation on farms in the central valley which are to par uclpaLe in the federal irrigation proJects and more particularly re- gently over a Bureau of Reclama- tion qestionnaire that went to all farmers in the area, asking five solid pages of questions, dealing with everything from previous ser- slLude to present "ethnics."
 here in Colorado and in many other states whose little rivers feed the naYigable waterways Of the nation there's great anger over control of water rights. Republican Gov. John c. Vivian took the mat ter to the annual conference of governors in Hershey, Pa.; it was hls big speech and according 50 re- ports here well appIauded. Ills theme was simply If the federal government can control the waters of the nation, affecting property rights long recognized as state func- tions, it can take over every acctiv- ity within our states and thus rend- ed impotent and useless our state constitutions, bills of rights, and our court decrees.
 Those are strong words, but for the first time in many years. they are making political hay.
 In the south and even in some border states" the poll tax and white supremacy are also being made issues of states rights. His toricaIly and politically, the i'm portant thing is probably that the "sohd south" and the ordinarily

CHURCHILL PDEDICTs EARLY VICTORY
 OVER GERMANS

LONDON-Prime Minister Church i'll, in a speech delivered at the Mexican embassy last week but not made public until this week. said the months of this summer may bring full success to the cause of freedom"
 He said the invasion of Norman dy was a great tactical surprise. that the Germans did not know it was coming until they saw the ships.
 "It may be that events 10 occur in the next few months will show Us whether We soon are to be re- leased from the curse laid upon us by the Germans, he said.
 Churchill declared tn invasion was launched with the full ac- cord' of the Russians and that the decisions were reached at Teheran.
 Touching on political aspects of the war, he said efforts are being made to achieve permanent CO., operation to build up an organiza- tion which after this war will strengthen the bands between all our nations and succeed in preserv- ing peace"

proposals for postwar teamwork be- tween industry and labor have put him in the national limelight. Bricker is the only aYowed eandi- date for nomination.
 Strong Possibilities
 If something happened to side track the Dewey drive, and neither Bricker nor Stassen were able to make the grade, then Taft, Burton and Warren for divergent reasons could loom as strong possibilities for the nomination.
 The lightning might strike one of the other possibilities, but a few reasons for the suitability of those three are pointed out here as typi- cal considerations in the selection of a dark horse.
 Ttft, who eliminated himself from the race this year in favor Of Brick CT. showed considerable power as a runner-up to Willkie in 194O. It would be logical for him to inherit a substantial part of the Bricker
  working members in high and low positions and with conservatives. throughout the country.
 Sen. Burton. three times mayor of Cleveland, has the asset of stand. ing well with labor and with pro. gressiye Republicans. His advocacy of early action toward international. cooperation to preerve peace at. tracted national attention.
 Gov. Warren is a sponsor of lib-. eral legislation; has called himself a non-partisan public servant. Be fore he ran for governor of Cali fornia he was nominated for at torney general by both Republican and Democratic parties. He is a big, personable man, heads a family of six children and has a background of World War l combat service.

solid Republican states have found an issue oR which they can agree.
 How much effect this win have on the lg44 election is problema1- ical. There are too many other is sues involved: the progress of the war. the personalities of the candi- dates and other home front prob lems. But I haven't talked to a serious thinker on political matters yet who doesn't feel that when the historical chips are down, these re- cent years will be recorded as the beginning at least of a contest whose issues will have great bear ing on the destiny of America.

Dark Horses In G. 0. P.
 National Race
By ALEXANDER B. GEORGE
 Associated Press


 WASHINGTON-The outlook for this years Republican dark horses is very dark indeed, so large is the convention lead of New York s Governor Dewey.
 Supporters of Governor Bricker of Ohio, running second to Dewey in indicated strength for the presi- dential nomination, assert that a dark horse rating for their candi- date is s'preposterous." Backers of former Governor stassen of Min nesota, now in the Navy, also chal- lenge such a classification Of their mans chances.
 Candidates or potential candi- dates with as much strength as Bricker and Stassen are not GUS tomarily regarded as dark horses. A dark horse, strictly speaking, is a comparatively unknown" of long shot possibility who comes along at the last minute to break a dead lock between two leading contend CTS for a majority of convention votes.
 Large Assortment
 The Republicans have an un- usually large assortment of suitable dark horses this year, but neutral observers rate none of them as bet ter than 100-to-1 shots.
 Among them are Senators Taft and Burton of Ohio and Brewster of Maine; Governors Warren of Cal Griswold of Nebraska, Sal tonstall of Massachusetts, Hicken- loojer of Iowa, Willis Of Kentucky and Baldwin of Connecticut; Su- preme Court Justice owen D.

DRISCOLL FAVORS
VETERANS PLAN
To Ask Democrats to In
corporate Ickes' War
Plant Idea in Platform

Secretary John J. Driscoll Of the
CLIO Connecticut State Industrial
Union Council, supporting SUCCESS
ton Of Harold L. 1ckes that gov
ernment--operated war plants be
turned over to returning Servicemen
after the war, advocated today that
the proposal be included In the
State Democratic Party's 1914 plat
form.
Driscoll, member Of the plat.
form committee, said "the 1ckes
plan offers q way to partially repay
the debt the nation owes our serv-
icemen. 1t would give veterans a
chance for creative and construc-
tive future, In brilliant and hopeful
contrast to the last wars tragic
aftermath of veterans selling apples
to make living"
Furthermore, he said, "the plan
Is much more attractive than pro-
posals that these plants be disposed
OF by selling them to big industrial
corporations for fraction Of their
cost. These corporations would be
benefitting at the public's expense
because the government plants were
financed with the peoples money"
Driscoll said that army econ
omists estimated that the plants,
worth almost six billion dollars can
be converted Immediately to the
production of peacetime materials
and that another tire billion dollars
worth could be converted In a short
space Of time 1t Is rightfully

Connecticut Farmers
Report Milk Increase
Farm Security Administration Reports Gain OF 4S6,-
200 Pounds During 1913; Small Farmers Lauded

not get credit through banks or
other sources"
The FSA State Director said the
smaller growers had been able to
increase faster than the average
farmer because they faced less seii-
Gus problems of labor and machin-
cry supply; having comparatively
small operations demanding less
machinery and using the supply Of
labor in their own families to offset
the shortage of hired help.
Still another factor, he pointed
out, was the generally lower level of
efficiency at which the smaller, less
prosperous growers operate.
at very close to his peak efficiency
all along. That's one reason he Is q
big grower. The family farmer,
however, can increase his output
steadily just by farming better, do
ing his job more skilfully, making
every acre and every hour Of Ia
Dor mean more in total output"
Purdy said.
"Above and beyond the tremend-
Gus food production these farmers
are contributing "he said, "they
are repaying the money their gov
eminent has loaned them to make
this production possible. They're
not only making valuable contri-
button to winning the war, but pay
ing five per cent interest, for the
privilege. We are receiving twice
the amount Of money In repay
ments that we are loaning right
now"
