Incidentally Connecticut Demo- erats seem to be optimistic enough at this writing to figure that they will control the State Senate when the Legislature adieurns In Janu. Rry, They base their predictions on the following-two seats in Water bury; three in Hartford; three In Bridgeport; four in New Haven, plus seats from New Britain, Meriden, Norwich, Middletown, Willimantie, and two or three outlying districts, And it is also figured that of the senators elected from these Gom- munities a majority of them will be more friendly towards the MAloney. Smith faction of the party than to the MeMahon Hurley Cummings group, All of which by the same line of reasoning, would mean that, If it's Gov, Hurley after Jan, l he'll have to make his peace with the new senators, Or will 1t be the other way around9

Of course, should the grand llst ever swell to huge proportions # is conceivable that . lower tax rate could be imposed, but the re- ,ult would be the same and the Iaxas paid in many instances would se fao different.

De FOREST TO SET UP RESEARCH LAB IN BExlcO

MEXICO CITY -tAP)- h. ventor Lee DeForest, 70-year old poineer in wireless telegraphy, is transferring his research labora- tory from Los Angeles to Mexico City.
 DeForest will concentrate, he said, on commercial development of radionics. He also is working on a ground-speed indicator for airplanes, similar to automobile speedometers, so that despite wind and weather conditions pilots will always know their exact ground speed.

not useless articles to clutter up the mails.
 Exactly what items the boys in France will be needing nobody knows yet. But it's probably safe to assume that they will be able to use the same articles they need ed in England-candy, chewing gum popcorn, well-packaged cookies and groceries. In England, cigarettes are rationed to seven packs a week, so if your GI smokes more than that, carton or two will come in handy. But don't load. him down with cloth

derWear Also useful are foun ain pen and pencil sets, watches, cig- arctic lighters, flashlights, groc- cry snacks that won't spoil, and wellboxed fruit cakes. There's no place in that theater to useN cleo tric razors, so they're out.
 Servicemen setationed in the Pacific can use cigarette lighters and fluid, pipe cleaners, pens, flashlights, and any edibles pack ed in sealed tight containers. Ex- tra socks, particularly the woolen ones that absorb precipitation, come in handy If your CT is at a large base, he won't need gum, toothpaste, shaving cream or blades, but if he's stationed in some out of the way area he probably will.
 In any case, wherever your CT is, if you're in doubt, write and ask what he needs. Something for the boys ought to be something the boys can use.

WHAT TO SEND Over There!
By ARLENE WOLF AP Features Writer

The Allied invasion of Europe means increased strains on supply lines carrying the materials of war to Americas men overseas. So it S of paramount importance now that every package you send your soldier contains the things he actually wants or needs-and

ing and sweaters that he will ei- ther have to throw away or jam in.o an already heavy battle pack.
 War correspondents returning from the various theaters of war have seen many soldier open a package that travelled thousands of miles, only to find the contents ruined or useless. What seems a logical things to send isn't always useful-despite the cold in Alas ka, for example, Johnnie doesn't need sweaters, mufflers, or socks. The Army supplies him with all the warm clothing he can wear.
 If he's up in Alaska, Johnnie would appreciate some fancy gro- ceries, powdered cocoa or fruit cake. Best of all, he'd like electri- cal fixtures-wall plugs, two-way sockets, and electrical wire, to help make the Alaskan huts lit tie more like home. Even an cleo tric razor would be fine, if he had the proper electrical connections. But cigarettes, and candy are use less. because both items are unra- toned and plentiful in the Alas kan theater.
 Letters and snapshots are tops on any serviceman's list, with good books, magazines and sub- scription to the home town paper running next Any CT who totes a camera can use film, if you can find it. Don send salamis or bo- lognas, unless your soldier re- quests them specially, for most boys find the Army feeds them plenty of cold meats.
 The correspondents agree that any soldier would be livery ern- barrassed" to receive q fox-eoie pillow, paiamas or other sissified equipment. Stationery's excess baggage, unless the serviceman asks for it, because most mail sergeants have supplies. Cookies are fine. but if you can't bake really good ones, the boys would rather have the commercial va riety, with less sentiment and more edibility.
 Tn Italy and Africa, candy and ciearetets are rationed, so they'd be welcome in any parcel. So would mild cheeses (packed m elass). iellies, socks, cold-water shaving sticks and sweaters for the winter.
 Bows in China, Burma or India don't need cigarettes, because they can get all they want. Large, hard chocolate bars that can With stand the heat are fine, and so are tin-boxed candies that won t melt away. Extra socks, shirts ana sleeveless sweaters come in handy sometimes, but don't send any un-

none of these companies furnish

heard OF the mousing gentlemen
who entered the war plant with

mean just about as much to per-

many of us have passed upon the

cial security card is good for no
thing except to show that some
body is covered by the old-age

told how much easier the job would
have been to identify the victims
of the recent Atlantic Coast Line

victims been registered with the
FBI file in Washington. Even apart
from times of war, numerous dis
asters such as railroad wrecks,

positive Identification forever a
question. Adequate proof can be

They could not establish proof. "
Even, that such a person existed

Sound Effects Play Big
Part In Thespian Play

Opening with stage in complete
darkness, 'Hobgoblin House." the
Thespian play to be given Feb
ruary II, depends upon sound eff
fects to put over much of the at
mrosphere of the play.
Some of the special effects
which will be used are the wind,
thunder, lightning, and rain of a
summer storm; the weird tolling
OF an old-fashioned dinner bell;
sudden failures of the lighting sys-
tenn and a decapitated head that
screams without it's lungs. The
committee in charge of these eff
fects is headed by Shirley Fin
kelstein. She is being assisted by
Jean Solomon, Alana Mathes, Ca
Uterine Russell, and Margaret

The stage setting for the entire
performance is the living room of
the summer home of the late Hor-
ace Hobgood. This set will he coro.
