 Civilians would be guaranteed 75 per cent of their weekly wartime wages up to the limit of the same benefits allowed to veterans. This would prevent workers earning con- siderably less than the weekly ben- efits in the bill from getting a raise" when they lost their jobs.
 The benefits would be allowable for two years after the cessation of histilities.
 States would be invited to partici- pate in the program, with the fed eral government paying the excess over state standards.
 Persons living in states which re- fused to raise to those standards, however, would be taken care of di- rectly by the federal government. Unemployment compensation laws of the various states now provide maximum benefits ranging from SIS to $22 a week. Eligibility terms run from l4 to 24 weeks.

 Battle For Warsaw
 The battle for Warsaw and its eastern suburbz of Praga was swing- ing back and forth with no decision in sight.

Politics
 In Passing

Tha candidacy of Bricn McMahon, former Asst. .. 8. Attorney General, ls l,fst about ln the balance as this column goes to press. By the time fK is read it may have been decided whether or not he is to be the next Democratic candidate for the V. 5, Senate ln an effort to displacc Sen. ntor John A. Danaher Despite the fact that Drew Pearson, the Wash. inEion columnist. has three times written lt that Mfr McMahon has the blessing of the Roosevelt ad- mlnlstration in his campaign his efforts have not met with eomnie . success here in Connecticut. He IS not, apparently. a candidate to the iiking of the Senator Maloney-ex- Chairman smith forces. Why no one has as yet publicly stated. The decision to support Mrs. Chase Go- ing Woodhousc was one that came only after it had been brought home to the Maloney-Smith forces that YOU can't beat a candidate without a candidate. Tn short SO long as this camp opposed McMahon 1t might marshal some vo eS a'a'nse him. But until it got behind can.- cidate it could not hope to marshal sufficient votes to defeat him. That situation is now changed.

Francis T. Maloney.
 Hartford, New Britain, Bridgeport, Waterbury and Meriden are report ed supporting Gaffney with a total of 238 votes. Hurley is counting on PAS votes from New Haven, East Hartford, West Hartford, Stamford, Greenwich, Torrington. Bristol, Manchester, Danbury and Norwalk.
 Power politics will predominate at today's nominating session of the convention. Of interest, is the fact that the small towns of the state may prove to hold the balance of power in final balloting and last nights behind the scenes skirmish- ings consisted of considerable ardent counting, by powers, of these dele gates. With considerable political astuteness these same delegates were theoretically combining their strength and playing "hard-to-get." !"
 The fastional alignments are such that a sweeping victory for McMa- hon on the first ballot in the senate contest might bring about band- wagon rush to Hurley in the guber- material contest. This possibility was conceded by some Gaftney sup- porters, who maintained their man has a majority on the basis of their canyasses, but denied by others who claimed some of the delegates pledged to McMahon on his en- trance into the field are against Hurley and will be for Gaffney .
 At press time, this morning, It seemer to appear that the Gaffney Camp had more support for its gu bernatorial candidate than they did for Mrs. Woodhouse for senator, and there was considerable belief that an attempt would be made to shift the gubernatorial nomination to first on the list.
 The possibility. as reported In the Waterbury Democrat week ago, of shifting the convention call 70 tha tthe gIbernatorial nomination would precede the senatorial nom- ination, was referred to Homer &. Cummings, permanent chairman of the convention, who ruled last night that such a motion, being an amendment to the call of the con- Vention, was the equivalent of a mos ton to suspend the rules and would require a two-thirds vote for its adoption.
 Because of the interest in the Senate and gubernatorial spots, scant attention had been paid to other places on the ticket and the convention Was due to recess after the gubernatmia. candidate was se- lected, to prepare the balance of the slate and the presidential electors.
 U. s. Sen { amuel D, Jackson, In- diana, was last nights keynoter and declared that Franklin D. Roose- welt is the most valuable public ser- want in the world today" and that the democratic administration must be kept in power until the war is over and the peace is won.
 To change now, he said, would mean delay in the conduct of the war, ano every day of delay means the sacrifice of more American lives"
 He characterized the Republican presidential nominee - Thomas E. Dewey - as too young and imma. tlire to hold his own at the peace table against Churchill, Etalin and Chiang Ksi-shek.

The program for the Democratic convention in Bushnell Hall today calls for nomination of a candi- date as Senator from Connecticut ; candidates for the offices of Gov ernOr, Lieutenant Governor. Sec retary of the State, State Treas urer, State Comptroller, Congress- man-at-Iarge. and Presidential Electors. There has been some talk of an attempt being made to change this procedure by switch ing the nomination of U. $. Sem ator to last place or at least after the various state offices have been filled. The purpose would be to concentrate delegate strength on gubernatOriaI nomination where the Maloney-Smith camp natural Iy believes it has the bulge. \ convincing win here would prob ally go far towards keeping the MalOney- Smith strength in line for che senatorial battle, which may now he decided by the votes of the women delegates.

that McMenamin and other leaders of the strike may be under investi- gation by the Department of Jus tice and the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation. Late last night. Hayes conferred with Henry A. Schwein- haut. special assistant to Attorney General Francis Riddle; and John P Sears. head of the Philadelphia FBI.
 The meeting followed a session between Hayes and U. s. Attorney Gerald A. Gleeson, and at the con- clusion of his conference with Schweinhaut and Sears, Hayes said i:
 The entire situation was gone over so that there would be com plete cooperation between the Army and the Department of Justice in handling this matter"
 It was believed the officials were considering whether calling the strike was in violation of the Smith, Connally anti-strike law. There were other reports that even more Ser- ious charges were being considered. Arrests were not considered un- likely.
 Meanwhile, Philadelphia - a peacetime city of almost 2,OOO, ,OOO- waced one of the most serious pre- dlcaments in its ancient history. Not only were the city's dozens of major war plants seriously crippled, but it was tough going for thousands of commuters and shoppers. Ex- cept for taxicabs and pleasure cars there hardly was wheel turning and hundreds on the city's busy market streets cast envious eyes at the busses from New Jersey which unloaded passengers from that state The Jersey busses are operated by the Public Service Co., of New Jer- sey.
 Partial Service
 The Army. after taking control of the system Thursday night, at- tempted yesterday to restore partial service and some elevated and sub way trains were operated. Through out the day, traffic limped along on the Broad street subway and the Market street subWay-elevate but at 6:30 D. m. the Broad street subway trains stopped and early to- day the Market street subway trains were sent to the barns.
 The Army announced shortly af- ter 1 a. m. today, that patron runs were being operated on both subway lines to maintain a check on the safety signal systems-but no pas- sengers were carried.
 As an example of the seriousness of the situation. only a single troll ley-one serving the Frankford ar- senal and the Cramp shipyard-Was operating. and 1t stopped shortly before D. m.
 That lone trolley car-and Phila- delphia has total of 1882 such car riers-was operated by George Rob- erts, 30, wounded veteran of the Sicilian campaign, at the controls; and Vincent Gillespie, 28, also vet eran who received a medical dis charge. Policemen accompanied them on the runs.
 The situation at a glance yester- day and last night was:
 Number of trolleys, 1882; one ops erating.
 Number of subway trains. 26; IS operating.
 Number Of sub-elevated trains 42; 24 operating.
 Number of buses. 564, operating, none.

German counter.attack at this point
 Sabotage
 The American advance into southern Brittany penetrated into the Morbihan department, where French maquis tpatriots, have been sabotaglng and otherwise hafaSSing the Germans. In recent weeks. the maauis in this department have killed i,400 Germans at Q cost of 900 of their own men, supreme headqearters said.
 The patriots were expected to speed the Allied liberation Of van- mes and lOrient. both in Morbihan department. and presumably already were attempting to prevent the Germans from blowing up dock in- stallations and other equipment at the ports.
 While the main weight Of the American offensive appeared to have meen thrown against the south coast and west toward Breat, one tank column branched off northwest from Dol-de Bretagne, toward the fishing village of St. Malo and as last re- ports was only six miles away.

It may he well that tOday's halloaing will decide control of Democratic politics in COnnecti. cut. If Senator Maloney fails to nut across his candidates, particu. iariy Atty. Leo V. GaTnev of 'ev Britain, his prestige Is bound to suffer a severe blow. And 1t may have repercussiOns on his own candidacy in 19a6. On the other hand if the Maloney- Smith camp emerges from today's session the winner all-around as it confidently expects Co do then the party will certainly be bound to regard he senator as both the titular and actual head here in the state. There Is this tO remember, though. Four years ago c--"
 ernor Robert A. Hurley catapulted into leadership in the Democratic party; failed to retain it two years later; now is fighting des- perately to retain his political prestige. Through all this Sem asor MalOney passed serenely and with as much public regard as he ever had.

The first arrivals at the rooms were City Controller Neil MaIoney, who fs secretary of the Democratic T0wn Committee. Mayor John 5.

Monday nights Democratic meet ing in Torrington to decide the con- gressional nomination is going to be a funny session. Not even the local delegates seem to be lined up for any particular candidate. All of which has caused Q lot of specula- tion about dark-horses etc. It may we'll be that this will come to pass However it was ..oticeable that Mayor William Patton of Torring- ton had endorsed that city's can date, Peter Higgins, representing the 6IO. As yet there haven't been any glch endorsements from Mayor Monagan or from down-the-valley leaders. Nor, for that matter, has the Waterbury delegation boiled it' strength for the various candidates It ia expected. though that local leaders will probably call caucus of the congressional delegation prior to opening of the convention Monday night.

If anyone recalls the l940 con- vention held in New Haven it may be remembered that the late "Davy" FitzGerald spent a few unpleasant minutes in an ante-room of the Arena while scores of angry women delegates told him and other party leaders in no uncertain terms that they had better include woman on the state ticket. Originally it was Democratic intention to do this. but as the heat Of the Hurley Gross con- test developed plans kept changing. when Bob Hurley emerged the victor the decision was to skip the woman candidate. But after the wo- men delegates finished reciting their piece she was back on the ticket end ultimately the place went to Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse. A repetition of that incident today in Hartford is not unlikely.

  believed the state chief executives rendered a service to the people that win not be forgotten in No- vembcr. T am convinced that the Repub- lican party will win in November regardless of the war aews,' he told newspapermen. The net result of tremendously hard work is that one of the most vexatious problems that have faced the country has been settled as a matter of national pol. icy Of our party and Go the com. plete satisfaction Of the governors representing three-quarters of the people"
 He added another state to his 2,350-mile campaign swing when late last night he stopped at Tn. dianapolis, Ind, to confer with Ralph Gates, candidate for gover. nor, and Republican nominee foi senator, Homer Capehart. They talked only briefly.
 Optimism
 From the governors, Dewey re. ceived optimistic reports. but not all of them promised that he could carry their states-at least not with out a hard fight. California and Massachusetts were notable among those states in which the Republi- can going was represented as likely to be uphill.
 Republican National Committee Chairman Robert Brownell. Jr, found an opportunity to do some pulse feeling.
 Campaign plans still are secret" It was plain enough, however, that Brownell wants the people to sec and hear his man and is planning at least one coast -to-coast campaign swing. That probably will come some time in October. Dewey has observed Mir. Roosevelt's successful campaign Strategies and one of them is to pack most of 1t into the last six weeks or so before election.
