MANY BROADCASIS
 With the record registration of new voters in Connecticut acting as an inspiration to all committees, a record in which labor had no small part in helping to establish, the committees are going on the air to bring their final message home to the voters. Greater Bridge ports A.F.L. Political Committee has eight broadcasts scheduled over Station WNAB, Bridgeport, and W.S.R.R. Stamford, running from Sunday, Oct. %, through Sunday, Nov. 5.
 On Sunday, Oct. 29, from 8:45 to 9. PM, the speakers will be Joseph P. Cleary and John J. Allen, Local 1o1, Teamsters Union; and J. Law renee O'Toole, Bridgeport Brick layers. Other speakers during the week will be Timothy M. Collins, president of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor; Samuel Janis, business agent of the Ladies' Garment Work CTS Union; Peter Benard, president of the Bridgeport Central Labor Union, and George Bozain, Local 191, Teamsters.
 A high-spot of the weeks activi- ties was the sending out of candi- , dates records by the Connecticut Federation of Labor Non-Partisan Political Action Committee. These records are clear and explicit, and are being sent to all A.F.L. locals in the state. The Union Times ex- poets to publish these records in full in next weeks issue.

 Leonard Reed praised President Roosevelt for creating the Fair Em- pIoyment Practices Committee. a step, he said, which sshas meant more to the colored people of the United States than anything that has happened to us since the Civil l War. It is now the fixed policy of ' the present Administration that no one shall be denied work because of race, creed or color, and that's a great beginning"
 Feinmark analysed the voting rec ord of Rep. Ranulf Compton, the in- cumbent, who has just returned from a three-week trip to England. After ' listing Rep. Compton's anti-labor votes in Congress, Feinmark said:
 ''This record explains what the common people of the Third Dis ltrict mean when they say that MT. | Compton belongs at the Madison I Country Club, not in Washington. We have no objections to country clubs-but we do object to that type of thinking when it affects
