an effective voice in the United States Senate for the preservation of a free America. I believe, there fore, that Johns reelection is para mount, and I wish to do whatever possibly can to be of assistance to him."
 Danaher made half-hour radio broadcast last night, declaring it is my considered judgment that the injection of labor into the political field by some of its ill-advised lead CTS will undo generations of efforts to further and protect labor's rights and labor's interests. The rank and file of labor will not follow those ill-advised leaders. The individual citizer. has a perfect right to cast his ballot in secret in the election booth, and he will not permit ab- sentee labor leaders to dictate the election of any candidate"
 Sen. Danahcr has been bitterly opposed by some labor forces and individual groups such as Water bury's United Nations Association on the basis that he is an Isolation ist''. Labeled by Washington news papermen and officials as one Of the Senate's most capable men, Sen. Danaher has defended his vote against 1940 measures such as Sel- ectlve Service on the basis that he voted "as the majority O. the people wished me too at that time." He opposes Brien McMahon. CD.

or two of the hamlets in strongly Republican districts were to close about 4 p. m.
 State election officials said that already about 10000 soldier ballots had been returned and they expect ed that by the Dec. 4 deadline a total of perhaps 25,Ooo would have been received. Rhode Island begins to count the soldier votes Dec. 5.
 While the soldier ballots were not expected to have too much effect on the national contests, it was said that perhaps 25 seats in the state legislature might be in question until after those ballots had been tailed because of the close contests for state offices.

Trun1on Sure Of Victory

Kansas City, Md, Nov. 7-UP)- Sen. Harry s. Truman, said today There's no doubt about the out come" of the election, but declined to hazard a guess on the size of the majority he expects the voters will give him and President Roose- welt.
 T have never posed as a political prognosticator and see no reason why I should start now" Truman said, but there's no doublt about the outcome"

 Truman spent yesterday at his law office greeting friends and sup porters, and last night in his suite where, he said. radio and telegraph workers had put in enough special wires to run the Senate press gal lery" to receive returns tonight.

Writer Finds
 Peace Oasis In Capital
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Nov. - (UPo - The place for me today is the supreme court, where the experts Tn the long-tailed coats are arguing, but not about politics. Peace, it's wonderful.
 The nine judges in their oddly-as- sorted easy chairs are listening to the lawyers in the striped pants and the gates-a-jar collars as if this were plain November ', instead of election day.
 Page boys in blue-serge knick- erbockers are tip-toeing around with glasses of water on silver trays for the legal talent, I'm sitting com- fortably on a soft red bench, mo- bodys even thinking about the cleo tion, and that isn't all.
 One of the bsg satisfactions Of visiting the supreme court is wash ing your hands. The washrooms are lined with white glass and when you turn on the faucet, you get pre- view of the brave new world to come.
 Gears click, valves turn, the hot water gushes out and there is no way under heaven to stop it. When the basins full and you've decided to run before somebody jails you for flooding the place, the hot water turns itself off. Then you wash your hands
 That still isn't all. The back wall of the supreme court comprises the largest unbroken expanse of pure white marble in the world. At least that's what I read in a book; what I know is that it's an awful tempta- ton to press agents. They can't re- siSt using it for billboard.
 Man From MGM
 Last time this happened the man from Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer used the supreme courts wall for the ex- hibition of magic lantern slides ad- vertiSing a Hollywood epic. The po- lice clapped him behind bars for de- facing the supreme court; he said all he did was shine some light on it. The police said well, he didn't add to the dignity of the place. They let him out later.
 You get the idea. The Supreme Court is a dignified establishment as we'll it should be. Even an Othman gets a feeling of pride in his country. just sitting in it. The bailiff wears 8 long black coat and black-and-w white striped necktie, like an ambassador. He is melli- fluous- voiced individual who says "oyez, oyez, oyez" in tones so silky smooth he probably turns down radio-announcing offers every week. He is known as the marshal. His coat fits beautifully, and I don't believe he packs gun; at least l noticed no bumps under the broad cloth.
 Black Robes
 The justices wear black robes, as in their photographs, and sit in chairs which don't show in the newsreels. Chief Justice Stone has big black chair with special pad for his head. Justice Frankfurter, being a little man, has a little chair. The other justices have other chairs, specially tailored to fit their anatomy.
 The courtroom is a handsome chamber with a roof of plaster flowers and walls of yellowish mar ble pillars. Behind the pillars is salf and acre or so of red velvet drapery, installed as an after thought to kill the echoes. It doesn't help much. couldn't hear a ward uttered by Justice Mur- pny or Justice Jackson, either. Not that I'm complaining. just wanted to escape the election hub-bub and, in passing. to wash my hands.

spectors and other health workers. Included also were tax monies spent for veneareal disease control, tuber- culosis case finding, dental hygiene, and local appropriations to visiting nurse association.
 Effective work by official agencies in these activities, as well as in conn., municable disease control, maternal and child hygiene, public health nursing and school health, costs at least $1.00 per person per year, ac- cording to standards of the Amer ican Public Health Association. Towns spending this amount may feel confident that good public health protection is being afforded locally.
 Although there was general overall increase in state wide ex- penditures for public health activi- ties, it was found that expenditures by the group of towns with popu- lations between 250O and 5000 had remained stationary at 51 cents per capita for the past three years. On the other hand, our smallest towns with populations under 1000 had increased their expenditures from 73 cents to 81 censs per capita, and those with populations between 1000 and 2,5OO also experienced a slight increase from 65 cents to 69 cents per capita in 1943. In localities with 5000 to 10000 population, public health expenditures were found to have increased from 49 to 52 cents, while those with between 10000 and 50,00O inhabitants experienced a marked increase from 63 to "A cents. In the population grouping of over 50,000, there was an average increase in the six largest cities from 95 cents per person to $1.03 in tax monies expended for public health in 1943.
 Any Connecticut community desiring to learn the posibiliteis and limitations of its public health pro- gram will find the State Depart ment of Health and the Yale Uni versity School of Public Health will ing to aid in making a local survey
