OBSERVER SAYS GERMAN TANK
 LOSSES HIGHER

washington, oct, Siy-(upl-oer- man tank losses in France con- sisently were greater than those auf- ferea by American arlnorNd forces duo not only Go superiority ot Ale lied tactical cir support and artillery Mat. Joseph N. Kirehholmor, who served with both the Fourth and sixth Q, s, Army Divisions, declared here,
 KEchhelmsE ground forces oh- server; told newsmon at the pOnta- gon that Q tank battalion and tank destroyer company Of the Fourth ArInored Division, support- cd by artillery, knocked out Ab German tanks near ArrAcourt, Sept 20. The American tanks dee stroyed 9S. the rps 10 and Nrtil- l0ry three, American losses were three tanks and three rps ulN- mAtely salvaged,
 Tho Fourth Division up to Sept, a1 destroyed 600 enemy tanks, captured lS000 prisoners, Killed 5000 Germans and knocked out 1900 miscellaneous vehicles and lA0 large artillery pieces,
 Ahead of Mobility KirchhSimer rated American tanks superior in mobility and the ease with which tho tanks could he operated. Normally American armor was supported by artillery as it advanced, forcing the oer- mans to keep their matches closed, handieapping their operations The air forces often provided close support notably tho p-A7 with their machine guns and bombs.
 "The Germans were scared Go death of our tanks" Kirehheimer said, "0erman prisoners eyes popped out as they watched our tanks and selt-propelled artillery
 Losses in both tanks and men were low in the two divisions he was with. Kirehheimor said Many of the Fourth Division tanks fighting on the MoSelle battled All the way from Normandy, though most had new engines and new tracks,
 Kirohhelmer said tho Germans were always frightened when they saw the artilleTy's Aaaon planes, because they forwarned of impend- ing artillery action.
 New 'Panser Brlgados'
 He recounted the legend, which he said he could not Voueh for personally how the pilot of one liaiSon plane, tired of inaetion fastened three baSookaS under each wing of his cub and went tanklng hunting. He claimed he knocked out two German tanks.
 Kirehheimer reported Q new kind of German formation was appear. Ing, the so-ealled "panEer brigade" Remnants of the old panHer divi. sionS which numbered ie0 tanks were broken up into brlgades with aA to 30 tanks and 5000 to 1000 men. The personnel was made up of odds and ends from various shat- tered and dismantled outfits.
 The Germans were using mis. eellaneous transport including ve- hleles appropriated from civilians, They were great at Improvisation combining miscellaneous weapons and vehicles such as mounting Russian or French guns on Csech tanks.

tage of not having 0 record which con Do pointed to with criticism. This is more than some of our hope sul Senatorial asplrants can say.
 Last year, in the General AsseEn- ply, the attempt was made through the cooperation of tho Republican Machine to organize tho 0lty Of Wa. terbuFy as if It's people had elected Q Republican city administration instead of Q Democratic one. Not only was this program carried through without consulting the Wa. teFbury City Government, but it was pushed through over the pro. tests of that government.
 A sonAtof could interest himself In aeronautics. AS c member Of the senate coinInitte on this subject he could help his District and his state move forward to meet the challenge of . new age of transportation. As member from Waterbury he could assist the city to become . main stop on the through air routes of the future and through his effort safeguard It's economic security,
 He could interest himself in our prisons and State Institutions. know that some of our Connecticut Institutions are out-of-date In many respects. 4 stat1 Senator could inform himself about these conditions and on the Committed which concerns this subject, could work to improve ane modernige these key points In our social sys- tenn.
 He could interest himself in Edu- cation. By serving on the Com Eaittee on this subject, he could exercise his influence for the ad- vancement of teaching methods and the welfare of students and teach CTS in the schools of his State and District. If his District lacked fa- cilitieS which existed in other sec tions-a Trade School for example
 -he could direct his energies to- ward seeing that his own people were fairly treated in this respect He could interest himself in Tax , ation. He could see to it that the gasoline tax for example, the major part o (which is collected in cities should be spent. ct least to some substantial degree, in the cities as well as in the country sections which control the General Assem- bly,.
 These are some of the possibilities that there are in service as Q State Senator. These are some of the subjects in which propose to iT1- terest myself If and when am elected Tn addition l promise to give wholehearted support to the program of the Democratic Party which in the last 10 years has. in my opinion, been solely respOn- sible for bringing Connecticut so far along the road of Social Pro- gress. '
 It is important for all the voters to remember. however. that in or- der to make our Democratic rro- gram effective it is necessary 70 elect Democratic candidates. It is impossible to work effectively with minority representation. If you elect President Roosevelt and G0v- ernor Hurley, aS I know you will. you are tying their hands if you do not also give them legislative bo- dies which win support their pro- gram.
 ! ask therefore that you vote for me in tho election on November Eth. but ! also aaiE that you support llae aandIdSfea of tlte Democratic Naftf.

SOCIALISM MEANS NOWARS-BORDEN
Gu6ernatorlal Candidate Says Election of Party
 to Eliminate Conflicts

Tn Q statement issued to The Democrat today, Joseph Q. Borden SoclaliBt.kahor Party candidate for Governor of Connecticut declared that with the advent of socialism, the poverty, unemployment, and wars which are ifsspaFable features of capitalism will become memoFles",
 MT, Dordens statement is as fol. lows:
 As candidate for Governor of this State, I Issue the following state- ment to answer Q question that is common among voters that come tn. to contact with the Socialist Labor Party: Why does the Socialist Labor Party appear on the ballot when ,it has no chance os clection9
 First, allow me to dispose of the latter part of shls question, "when it has no chance" The Socialist Labor Party, after fifty years and more of existence as the political party 10 American labor, has Q bet. ter chance than ever to obtain the support of those whom it urges to weld themselves Into class cons scious aggressive body. The logic of events is bringing labor to the point where it can begin to see that what tho Socialists have been saying for SO many years is true after all, that capitalism, no matter how reformed, is run In the interests of the caplt- alists, who are the minority, and that the interests of the workers ie. mand Socialism, that is, social own. ership of the industries and produc- ton for use. Capitalism has outlived it's usefulness to human kind and lt is up to US of the working class to see that 1t is politely but firmly ushered off the social stage to make way for the Socialist Republic Of Labor.
 Now, as to why the Socialist Labor Party appears on the ballot. It is in order that the principles of Social ism may be brought before the vot- CTS, specifically before tho worker voters. Those principles imply that the real issue in this campaign, as for many campaigns past, Is Social ism vs. Capitalism. Workers who are aware that capitalism breeds pover- ty unemployment, general insecur- ity. and war, and yet support cap- italism by voting for one of the other parties, do not vote in their ow1" true interests. Only vote for the Socialist Labor Party is vote for Socialism, and hence the pres- ence of the Socii list Labor Party candidates gives all workers, as well as others to whom freedom is dear, the chance to vote for Socialism.
 Voting for Socialism is, however, not sufficient. To obtain Socialism. the workers must, aside from voting, organize themselves on the economic field into Socialist Industrial Un- ions. They must organize thus in order to take, hold, and operate inc duS9ry, and thus establish Social ownership. With the advent of Socialism, the poverty, linemploy- ment, and wars which are lnsepar- aEle features of capitalism win le- come memories; and affluence and plenty for all, with enduring peace. will become living realities.
 It Is up to the workers to establish this better world. Its material basis "a here. The Socialist Labor Party points the wav to its attainment Xnus it is in behalf Of true soclal- lsh that iha Socialist Labor Party appears on the nAlI1t.

Watch Weak Teams

This all makes a very pretty
picture with one exception. It's
those WEAK teams that seem
20 rise up and smack down our
Tigers az the most unexpected
times
Anyway. here is a race that
goes down as one Of the great
est super-thrillers in baseball
history.
And how do YOU think Mr..
Alva Bradley Of Cleveland feels
these DAYS when he is reminded
that he wanted the baseball
people 70 lock their gates this
season because Il am not m
favor Of giving the public an
inferior brand of baseball
Yes Mr Bradley really had
something It's too had he
couldn't have had MS way.
Then all those people would not
have been turned away from

polntment last Sunday.
