Most spectacular was the selec-

election to the office he now holds.
Defeating candidate Wasmer of
Spokane by five to one in some
counties and an apparent four to
one in the state after the latter
had carried on one of the most
aggressive campaigns in the his
tory of the state must mean that
the people decided, after hearing
all the arguments, that they are
better off with the present COVER

Initiative for Pension Inclease
May Not Be on Ballot
Initiative No. 158 may not be
on the ballot after all, despite the
fact that it was filed with some
"a, 500 names. Forecast of shrink
in these lists of signatures when
all are checked show that the loss
may be more than enough to de-
crease the total of eligible sigma
lures to less than the $4,000 re-
quired by law, in which case the
measure will not be submitted to
the voters. Checking of these
names will be completed first, that
is before those on No. 157 which
came in with over 1O3, 900 names
and will of course be a matter for
the voters to decide. This mea-
sure No. 157 is the one which
would extend a great increase in
benefits in various forms to Off
ferent citizens, regardless of the
fact that this state already leads
the nation in this type of benefits.
About Various Things
Less than one half Of eligible
voters went to the polls in the
primary &. many good men were
defeated for offices S. some by

Republican Vote for Governor
Overwhelming

One interesting favor in the
governorship race is that all re-
publican votes for this office were
three times as great, as of this
writing, as those for the demo-
cratic candidate although there
was no contest in that part for this
office. Possibly more significant
is the fact that Langlie is lead
ing all opponents on both tickets
by a wide margin for the office
This is perhaps an indication of his
popularity, with dash of resent
ment on the part of voters for
what some said was an unwar-
ranted attack by opponents. Some
of the effect of this vote may and
perhaps will be felt in the No
vember final election. Those who
deal in matters political have told
us that they feel that Langlie is
well on his way to the reelection.
Democratic Majority Notable
for Secretary of State
In the denomination of Secretary
of State Belle Reeves neat ma
jority of democratic votes were
polled over the combined vote for
all republican candidates, and a
narrow majority at this time for
the democratic party in the race
for State Auditor and for Con-
gresham in the sixth district. All
other contests show a majority OF
the vote cast for republican can
didates over those for the demo-
cratic office seekers. This is true
in five of the six congressional
contests and the state offices with
the exceptions noted above. In
five of these cases the democrats
had no contest but in four cases
in which the republicans held the
lead there was no contest. All
of this may or may not be fore
cast of things to come in Novem-
Der. We shall see. Anyhow at
this time, it's in the record as we
have given it to you.

When a girl is as easy to look

possesses well trained voice its not
usually personality you remember.
But Margaret has the finishing
school kind of charm and grace to
go with her refreshing naturalness.
1t was when she interrupted us
to wave to a young sergeant whom
she recognized at another table that
we suddenly decided what makes
people come back week after week
to hear her sing the same songs.
AS a performer, Margaret takes
personal interest in her audience,
she has a special individual touch
to her style that makes you want
to know her as a person as we'll

Lowell, and As- sistant State Comptroller Frank Barlow, undertook a survey of the hospital to provide escape-proof facilities. Their first action was to order metal bars Tor 10l windows which previously had been protect ed by wire screening. A sub-com- mittee was ordered to investigate the administration and fix respor- sibility for the escapes. On this committee were Mrs. Edith Valet Cook, New Haven; Arnold Hubbard, Middletown; Mrs. Ruth S. Russell, West Hartford, and Albert E. Waugh Storrs. The committee will report to the Governor and hospital tris- tees Oct. il.
 At orders of Gov. Baldwin, state police assigned nine officers to the institution to augment hospital guards, and a special guard was placed over Wilson. Hospital author ities had complained their staff of attendants was only half of normal at the time of the escapes.
 The Governor has proposed changes in the state laws, permit ting the criminaIly insane to be committed to state prison. Present laws provide only for the transfer of insane criminals from prisons Co mental institutions.

kOOAAsAAAVNA 1ASAAA eeS ~ barricades around the palace. the dispatch said.
 The first German attack on the force around the palace reportedly was repulsed but the NaziS brought in fresh troops and heavier equip ment and surrounded the whole area.
 Reports said King Christian x, Queen Alexandra and members of the Royal family stood on a bal- cony and watched the exchange of fire between the Germans and the Danes.
 The Swedish Telegraph Agency said the Germans withdrew from the palace area in midafternoon, admitting the action was a mistake "since the King naturally was en- titled to keep his palace guard"
 CThe Nad-controlled Danish home radio, in a broadcast recorded by BEG, announced earlier that the Germans had declared a state ot emergency in Denmark and had abolished all Danish police forces with the exception of special con- stabulary emergency squads. The broadcast indicated the German action was motivated by alleged police support of Danish patriots0
 While the battle around the palace was in progress, shooting was heard In several other sections and Danes were reported barricading streets
 The general strike, according to the Danish press service, brought everything except utilities and rail- ways to a standstill.

 Dewey argued that President Roosevelt will not be indispensable to either writing or preserving the peace terms.
 "The peace we seek must not hang by the slender thread of personal acquaintance of any two or three men," he said. "The pages of history are filtered with treaties proclaim. ing permanent peace made privately by rulers of nations and quickly and publicly broken.

 Francesca Spezzano, Carusos $ lawyer, moved for postponement ot the trial until six months after the wars end, so that all witnesses could be summoned. The nine Judg- es of the high court rejected the plea on technical grounds.
 CaElso is being tried under the military penal code on several charges, mainly that on March 2A he delivered to the Germans 50 hos tages who were among 320 Italians the Germans shot in reprisal for killing 32 Germans. The remaining 270 hostages were taken by the Ger mans themselves from jails they controlled.
 His defense, was that he was merely a government function fol- lowing orders of his superiors.
 Occheto's defense appeared to be that he was in reality working with Italian partisans and that he had kept friendly with the Germans in order to supply information to the patriots.

 To Enforce Peace

phone, telegraph, mail and travel facilities, for at least two months, That control, which in effect iso- lates Finland from the rest of the world, is expected to become opera tive in the next 4s hours with the arrival in Helsinki of 0 special Russian commission headed by Col, Gen. Andrei Zhdanov, commandant of the Leningrad military district who signed the armistice pact.
 A second clause, 1t was learned, requires Finnish troops to disarm all Germans remaining in north- ern Finland and to fight under Russian leadership.
 More Terms
 Born listed only the following eight terms which, he said, were the "core" of the peace treaty eventually to be signed:
 1. Finland to withdraw behino her le4O frontier, ceding Karelia te the Soviet Union.
 9. Cession of the Petsamo area in northern Finland, site of some of the worlds richest nickel de- posits.
 3. Lease to Russia for 50 years of the Porkkala Headland just southwest of Helsinki and an un- specified land and sea area nearby.
 {. All airdromes in eastern and southwestern Finland to be placed temporarily at the disposal of the Allies.
 6. Finlandk merchant fleet temporarily made available to the Allies: !
 6. German troops in Finland to be disarnned.
 2. The Finnish army to be placed on a peace time basis.
 8. Payment of $500, GOO, 900 in- demnity to Russia over six-yeaf period.
 The announced Russian terms were not essentially different from those reported to have been of' fered and rejected last spring, ex' cept that the Soviets gave up theii demand for the Hango naval base in return for the Porkkala lease and reduced the reparations iron $500, 900, ,oo0 to $3oo,ooo,ooo.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-20

Sweden reportedly has been stopped and all travel from Finland brought under strict control.
 Helsinki dispatches also reported that Russian operations against the Germans in northern Finland ale ready were underway and that, in accordance with the new armistice terms, Finnish troops may be taks ing part under Russian command.
 Radio Moscow broadcast a 5000. word detailed text of the armistice. which, in addition to providing for the leasing of the Porkkala head land to Russia, calls for other large territorial concessions and cash reparations.
 Deputy Premier Ernst Won Born in somber radio address to the Finnish people last night, revealed part of the price they must pay fol the German alliance that brought them to war with Russia for the second time in five years.
 Born announced only eight of the 8 points of the Armistice agree- ment signed in Moscow yesterday He admitted that Finland's negotia- tors had been able to obtain little If any softening of the Soviet de- mands.
 He described the Armistice bitter ly as one of the harshest ever iIn- posed upon a beaten nation, bu: urged the people to accept 1t and try to create basis for friendly relations with their conquerors.
 Among the unannounced terms the United Press was informed, was a clause providing for complete Russian control of Finland's com munications abroad, including tele-
