 Japanese air activity over Leyte was negligible. Fighter patrols shot down one enemy reconnaissance plane.
 A spokesman for General Douglas MacArthur acknowledged that the Japanese may be sending small barge loads of troops into Morotai Island, part of which is in Amer ican hands, but ridiculed the Jap- anese raido reports of a large-scale counter landing and said the Amer ican situation was in no way en- dangered.
 Morotai lies just north of Hal mahera, 800 miles south of the Philippines.

Down in New Haven Democrats raised $12,849 this year in compari- son to 1854 reported by the Re- publican party treasurer. The re- port fails to indicate, however. whether the COP spent all of it's contributions. Here in Waterbury where the Republicans raised more than the Democrats this year the Democrats ended the campaign with a surplus over $1,000. This is not unusual, as since the Tangney- Maloney directorate began in tho town committee these officials have Hndeavored to end all campaigns with surplus. Their purpose in doing this is to provide funds with which to finance the work of the organiZa- tion throughout the entire year and not merely at election time. Den- Ocrats retain a permanent head quarters all year round and make the same available to various Demo- cratic clubs and organizations for meetings.

The election is over and presun- ably the votes have been counted. But not in every state. Not un- til December will Rhode Island and. North Dakota count their soldier ballots. And Nebraska counted theirs Thursday. Other states having late Headlines for the soldier votes were Missouri, Nov. 10; Pennsylvania and Colo rad6. Nov. 22; California and Washington, Nov. 24. Not in any case will the votes thus counted change the original result and MT. Roosevelt won't have to change his plans about having simple in- auguraI in January.

Reading the list of the contrib. tutors to the campaign of Miss Mar. garet E. Connors in the recent battle of sexes in Fairfield county is like reading a Who's Who in the world of finance, public affairs, literary and amusement. It was nice, too, to note that Miss Connors' father thought enough of his daughters chances against Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce to donate $2,100 to her cause. There were other contributors, too. like Clifton Fadiman, James P Warburg, Edna Ferber, Llewellyn G Ross, Rex Stout, Sruthers Burt Robert Sherwood, Celeste Holm, Oscar Hammerstein, Franklin P. Adams. John Cavanagh, to mention but a few. Ex-Senator John F. Tobin of this city also contributed to Mis- ConnorS' fund.

TO the lengthy and imposing list Of sons of Waterbury who have gone forth to achieve fame and position in the far-away places might conceivably be added in an- other year the name of Linnane. A good many local people still recall the Tinnanes with fondness and de- tail for their many and varied &C., complishments. Hard on the an- kaouncement from Mayor Mortensen pf Hartford that he would not seek reelection next year comes an edi- korial in the Hartford Courant urg- fng that his successor be William A. Humane, present assistant town clerk and formerly executive Secre- Eary to Mayor Mortensen and others before him. But MT. Linnane has said may, nay" He wants no part of the mayoralty. But time may change opinions and feelings and lWho knows but what Waterbury will have a mayor of Hartford.

It will be hard for the board of
 aldermen to find much fault or
 to point out necessary changes
 In the estimates for 1945 which
 they will receive Monday night
 and which are designed to become
 this city's budget for next year.
 If anything the board of finance
 went to extremes this year to
 devise a budget that would prove
 workable throughout 1945 and which, at the same time, would not curtaiI the splendid work the
 MOnagan administration has be- gun in putting city property into
 good condition. Rarely have SO many department, heads and rep resentatives been called before the finance board as there were this year. And on the basis of their success in this method of ap- preaching the budget the commits aiOners are developing plans for tackIing budgets to follow the Forthcoming one.
 Vying for headline space in the local press with the budget dur Ing the last few weeks have been the activities of Waterburys legis- lative-authorized pension commis. sion. The board is about ready tc sihveil its plan before those whom il will affect the most, namely, city employees. However, Chairman c Arthur Dubois is concerned, too about a larger group of concerned Individuals, the taxpayers of Wa. terbury, who will bear the brunt of any pension costs. And judg. hfg by the reports those costs are going to be pretty high for as lonf as thirty years. Putting any pen. sion system on an actuarial basil as a costly proposition unless there as an existing pension fund. IT Waterbury pensions have beer maintained on Q year-to-year basis thta is, funds provided in the budge for existing pensions. plus q smal reserve for anticipated ones. Hu that system eventually breaks dowT under it's own weight. Waterbur, would experience Q sad awakenini fk its pensions weren't put on aI actunFial basis.

According to War Department figures just released this week there are 25O German prisoners of war Quartered at Bradley Field, Windsor Locks. Why hasn't this OecasiOned the storm of protest that has arisen in New Rochelle, N. Y., over the governments plan to abandon Fort SlOcum in the sound just off the shores of New Rochelle as a training station and make 1t into a prison camp? New Rochelle and nearby communities have been holding protest meet Rngs for weeks at the thought of a prison camp being located in such close proximity to their best resi- dential sections. Bradley Field is R branch camp of Devens, other similar establishments being Camp Edwards with 775 prisoners, Vest over Field, 25O, and Camp Stark, N. H., 361.
