 Heavy voting was revealed in these latter towns as Prospect where Lloyd Perry CD, was elected first selectman in his primary iniation into politics. Mir. Perry is foreman at the Scovill Mfg. Co. In the latter town both parties more than doub- led their last year total with an ag- gregate vote of 605, Democrats car- rying r83 and the Republicans 236 as compared to 72 and 0S respective ly last year.
 Tn Middlebury Melville W. Skiff (RD, defeated Joseph McNellis Jr., by vote of 645 to 268 for office of first selectman. A total of 045 votes was cast in comparison to last years All total c. H. Upson was elected second selectman and MT. McNellis, third selectman.
 Iii Woodbury, Clifford L. Martin (R), was reelected first selectman in balloting which was Q slight bit heavier than last year. in South- bury J. Edward Coer and Harry D. Platt were elected first and second selectman respectively.
 The first Democratic first select- man in Beacon Falls since 1887 was elected yesterday when Conleth E. Kiernan defeated Ralph T.. Upright (R), Christian Heiss (R). incumbent was reelected second selectman while Mir Upright automatically succeeds to post of third selectman.
 A write-in vote put into the post of first selectman ' allaee Saxton, (R), in Bethany. MT. Saxton had previously failed to win the party nomination. He defeated Q brother Republican William Woodring.
 A similar situation prevailed in Thomaston where Eugene Torrance Democratic Selectinan for the past fS years, who had failed to win his party nomination thiS year, received 287 write-in votes to again succeed to the pest. More than twice the total votes of last year were cast in Thomaston yesterday for Q total of l,023.
 Emil R. Kaiser received high vote with 485 for first Selectman, and James Truelove, 470 for sec- ond selectman. Both were Repub- lican candidates.

Sergeant Major Emile Couture,

conference.
While making an inspection of
the conference quarters at the con-
clusion of the 1943 Quebec meet
ings, Couture found apparently i'm
portant documents in a room of the
Chateau Frontenac. After reading
them he turned them over to army
headquarters-and soon after was
dispatched with an army officer
to Washington where beth were
obliged to take an oath of secrecy.
1t was for their Scrupulous OBJ
servance of that oath, L'Action
Catholiquc said that Couture and
the unnamed officer received re-
cogniticn from the Canadian army.
According to L'Action Catholiquc,
Couture found papers which reveal
ed that in June of 1914, a certain
number of hundreds of thousands
of troops would be ready to disem-
bark on the north shore of the
Cortentin Peninsula in Normandy
and that they would be supported
by So-and-So many aircraft, trans
ported by so-and-so many trans

Postwar Prices
Stir Bureau Row

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ia. CUP)-
War mobilization director James F.
Byrncs and price chief Chester
Bowlcs were revealed to be in dis
agreement over prices that con-
sumers will pay for civilian goods
which go back into production af-
ter the defeat Of Germany.
Byrnes proposed a method of
pricing which, if carried out, would
mean a blanket increase over pre-
war prices for virtually all items
returning to the market BoWles
favored a plan whereby many ma
jor items, such as automobiles,
would not be any higher.
In his report to President Roose-
welt on reconversiCn last Saturday,
Byrnes said "it would be feasible"
for the OPA to set general ceiling
for articles out of civilian produc-
ton for some time "at fixed per-
ccntage above the prices charged
for such articles before civilian
