IPariSianS Visit HoSpitalS---To BatheI

Surface transportation in the capi- tai remains, however, bicycle, car- riage or foot.
 Gas has been turned on for two hours day - instead of only one at dinner time. Hot lunch at home is therefore possible again. Every section of Paris now has elec- tricity for an hour or so sometime during the early evening and again from il at night until six in the morning.
 Because the electricity supply is rotated from district to dis trict, one area may have light from 2 to 8, while another has 1t from to g, and so on.
 All of you at home who are green with envy of your son, brother, sweetheart or husband who's sta- tioned permanently in Paris should relax. In its present condition, the French capital is a wonderful place to spend few days leave. But for the soldier permanently stationed here it's deadly dull. There is al- most nothing to do here of duty except go to movies, which have just re-opened. Handicapped by lack of language. short-changed by the low franc-value of his dollar, he has few of the chances in Paris that he had in London to participate in the so- cial life of the community. Life here for the average soldier is anything but gay whirl of champagne, French cooking and dancing girls.

MAN JAILED FOR
 ATTACK ON RABBI

Stamford, Conn, November l. = CUP) = Frederick Heath, 27, went to jail today for six months, in addi- tion to being fined $100, after being convicted in city court of making an unprovoked attack on New York Rabbi Samuel Steinberg, A, on 8 train Sunday.
 Heath, claiming he was drunk, claimed he remembered Yanking the Rabbi's beard but could not recall striking him or making anti-Semetic remarks.
 Witnesses said Heath, boarding the train at Port Chester, N. Y., pulled Rabbi Steinberg's beard as he walked along the aisle. When Rabbi Steinberg protested, Heath allegedly knocked him down. When he was removed from the train here, Heath was said to have made two other attacks on the Rabbi, using profane and anti-Semetic language.
 Prosecutor P. Lawrence Epifan1o told the court that Heath was mot only the worst type of criminal we have had in this court, but he Is positively a saboteur."
 Judge Benjamin H. Mead, in m- posing the jail term and fine, said eve must make an example of those who create such un-American acts"

capital. Most people are already re- signing themselves to homes and ofi1ces without heat, or hot water for washing or bathing. Americans will propably fare somewhat better than the French, for such little coal as can be spared for heating will be apportioned among official military installations here.
 About half a dozen hotels in Paris have fuel heating water. Far and away the most popular people in Paris are those who invite you in occasionally, not for a drink or a party, but simply for the rare and great luxury of having hot bath.
 
 This, too, explains the unusually large number of solicitious friends that turn up at hospitals to visit with ailing acquaintances. Hospitals have hot water, too, and the bedside visit is often broken up by a short plunge into the bathtub.
 There's one big drawback in this method of keeping clean. If you visit the hospital, you're supposed to bring flowers. At current florists prices you'd find hospital bathing very uneconomic. Roses run about 75 cents apiece, gladion $1 the glad.
 Civilian life here is gradually be- ginning to take on semblance of normality. The Metro (subway) has now opened almost all lines and trains have started to run week ends as well as weekdays. In addi- tion, a few suburban railroads are again running passenger schedules.

New Zealand
 ForFree Press

London, Nov. 1-(UP)-New Zea- land supports the principle of Word- wide freedom of the press and therefore will grant equal access to news and equal transmission facili- ties for all in New Zealand territory, her prime minister, Peter Fraser, informed Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, today.
 Fraser's reply to an inquiry by Baillie arrived here after Baillie had returned to his headquarters in New York after tour of the vest ern front. Similar assurance had been given Baillie by governmental officials of Canada, CzechoSlovakia, Belgium, France, Norway, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland and South Af- rica.
 Fraser's message from Yelling ton, New Zealand's capital, said: "The New Zealand government sup ports the principle of worldwide freedom of press, speech and opin- ion for all and in the area under their jurisdiction, will ensure that there is equal access to news and equal transmission facilities. In thus recognizing our responsibility to all mankind and not to particular groups or interests, no matter how extensive of powerful, we hope this freedom of access and transmission will be balanced by an equal recog- milton of responsibility and fairness on the part of those responsible for selecting and publishing the news. Everyone in earnest on this matter will agree that the press power without 8 true and high sense of responsibility, can be one of the greatest enemies of freedom, prog resS and democracy.

Rugged Coast Guard
 Training For Dannia
Esat Main Street Youth on IST Crew; Soon to Take E Ship to War Zone

Aboard the LsT 31 = Sprinting over thousand-yard obstacle course which varied between ditches no feet deep and barriers 30 feet high in an average time of three minute sand forty-five seconds has been only part of a days work for Coast GuardSman William Damia, os 18l East Main street, Waterbury, Conn. and his fellow crew members, who soon will take this ship to war zone.
 Officers and men have just conn pleted their training at Navy ann phibious base and are ready to face the toughest of obstacles. Besides learning the theories of expected fu- ture problems, the crew has acquir- practical knowledge of every hazard they are a~+ face.
 Whole days were spent in actually lighting fires of every description until each man became an experi- enced fire fighter. They crawled through booby-trapped areas and the men who wee unfortunate enough to set off one oi the traps small but unpleasant fire-cracker were subject to the laughter of their mates while they retired to the sidelines as battle casualty"
 By plugging water-spouting holes inside 8 simulated ships compart- ment, they learned how to control and repair any damage inflicted up- on their ship by enemy gun-fire. Through repeated drills, they be- come accustomed to manning and operating their stations during a gas defense.
 Learning the hard way'', the crew frequently was busy from be- fore dawn until long after sunset, covering an average distance of twenty miles in the daily marches to and from classes.
 Commissioned officers participat- ed in the training classes with the enlisted men and were always the first to perform the more difficult or dangerous drills. By the time the training was completed, the crew was bragging about the calibre of its officers, while the officers, them selves, claimed that they command ed the "best crew that ever walked the deck of an LST."

 'The entire crew realizes what this training will mean later and is anxious to learn all about 1t.
 "Now each man can depend on what the other fellow will do under any given circumstances. We con- stitute a team-a team that is in perfect condition. LIST crews have to be rugged-and we are"
 Damia also participated in the Navy Day celebration at Pittsburgh Friday, October 27, when the crew of this LIST was chosen to represent the naval services. The LIST was on public exhibition in Pittsburgh dur ing the Navy Day ceremonies.

Ex-Gov. Ely
 Backs Dewey

Boston, Nov. 1-(UP)-Democra- tic Former Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, leader of the Jef- fersonian Democrats and a pres idential candidate this year on an American Democratic Party plat form, will vote for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president of the United States.
 In 8 scathing denunciation of President Roosevelt's campaign for fourth term, Ely said in 8 radio address last night that such a move would mean the start of dictator ship and he was choosing the "U. S. A. as against the P. A. C."
 What was once the Democratic Party" Ely said, "has been taken over, lock, stock and barrel, by a coterie of totalitarian socialists, city bosses, communists and disciples Of regimented Democracy. have nothing in common with such an aggregation of revolutionists and political pot boilers.
 "They believe in one kind of gov ernment and I believe in another. For me to give them my vote or lip service would be either the sheerest hypocricy or a crass sentimentalism and could be motivated only by po- litical expediency."
 Ely said that those persons favor ing fourth term "are supporting an idea of government under which the people are the childreP of the state, while the fundamental prin- ciple of American democracy, ac- cording to my beliefs, rests upon the theory that our office hold CTS are our servants and not our masters"

Victor, Loser
 EuIogize FDR
By RAYMOND LAHR

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. - (U.P0 = The two rival candidates for the Demo- cratic vice presidential nomination last July appeared on the same plat- form last night, extolling the lead- ership of President Roosevelt as necessary to win the war and the peace and symbolizing efforts to heal differences created by the vice presidential contest.
 Senator Harry s. Truman, who won the nomination, and Vice Pres ident Henry A. Wallace, who lost it, spoke in Madison Square Garden at a rally sponsored by the New York's Liberal Party. It was the first time they had spoken from the same platform since the party's national convention.
 Truman said MT. Roosevelt was qualified as no other American is qualified to lead our people to vic- tory in war and to progress in peace"
 Every day, every hour, every min- ute by which the war can be short ened will save the lives of countless American boys" he said. ". We dare not gamble with the life of 8 single American soldier. Each citi- zen must enter the polling place with sense of solemn responsibil- ity."
 Wallace said:
 We still have war to win. Every sane person knows that Roosevelt can do better job of winning that war than Dewey. We still have a peace to write, and all we'll Uniformed people know that Roosevelts broad experience in international affairs makes him infinitely the stronger man in this field"
 HypnOtism
 The vice president said Dewey in effect was saying that he would make Wall Street happy and then Wall Street will give you all jobs" and that it was "a case of being hypnotized by influential, wealthy packers"
 Truman charged Dewey with att tempting ito beguile us with double talk" in expressing his views on anti-lynching, anti-poll tax and fair employment practices legislation and said Dewey and his campaign managers were encouraging "a vi- cious and un-American campaign directed against Americans of for eign birth"
 Wallace, however, called Dewey patriotic, intelligent and fine in every way" and added:
 But the war is serious matter and the problems of peace are griev- ous. The people of New York have two well-known citizens and they should do their duty by each one. They should keep their governor in Albany and their president, whose experience so richly qualities him to be there, in the White House.

HEALEY YELLING
 SAYS BEARDSLEY

Atty. Harry Beardsley, Republican candidate for Probate Judge declar- ed in radio address last night that he accepted ''the challenge" of his opponent Probate Judge Patrick Healey's assertion that the con- ing election is not to determine the reform of the probate system but to choose the best candidate".
 MT. Beardsley stated:
 "That's mistake apparently you and I have made. You want it reformed, don't you? The legisla- ture, judicial commission and I want it reformed, but he says you are not going to vote for reform. What does he think you are going to vote for-to increase his one eighth of a million dollars to one whole million-to continue his year. ly gross fees of $30,000 for life? He has asked for life. Is that what you are going to vote for? He talks of the peoples court Yes it is the peoples court. Everyone comes there and pays unitemized bills while he grows fatter and wealthier. His open book is writ ten in death moneys, in fees that the legislature wants to have re- formed"
 T accept the challenge. When he comes out of the marble palace and says I don't know al lthe answers he admits that I do know some of them. I refuse to make this campaign personal one. I re- fuse to be distracted from an analysis of his record which he claims is an open brook. It is open but he didn't open it. We forced him to open it and how he yells."
 MT. Beardsley asked why Judge Healey does not itemize his court bills, if his is the peoples court as he says, adding that this is lone of the answers I don't know and he knows but doesn't tell"
