DURELY
L Official
By BALLOT BOX

The city election is finally warm
ing up little. The Democrats start
ed the ball rolling with big rally
at their headquarters last week, at
which Mayor Sweeney and the four
Democratic Councilmen, all seeking
reelection, addressed the gathering
Mayor Sweeney sounded the key
note of the present administrations
campaign strategy, when he stated
that his administration did not have
to PROFOUND campaign platform,
as they were standing squarely be-
hind their record during their term
of office.
The Republican nominees released
their 12-point platform to the papers
on Monday night, so, with both
parties now out in the open, there
should be quite bit of excitement
during the next two weeks.
The prize political joke of the
week is the story that broke Monday
that U. S. Senator George L. Rad
cliffe, (D-Md) was under consider
alton for the post of Federal Loans
Administrator, as successor to Jesse
Jones.
The laugh came, when, before the
ink was even dry on the story, the
White House officially announced
President Roosevelt had nominated
Fred NJ Vinson, Economic Stabiliza-
ton Director, for the job. (Some
papers even published both stories
in the same edition on Monday
afternoon)
1 have a sneaking idea that the
Radcliffe story was cooked up for
the sole purpose of keeping alive the
flood of rumors and conjectures that
have been going the rounds for some
weeks now, regarding the 1916 Cub
ernatorial and Senatorial elections
in the State
On the Democratic side, particu-
larly, there is already quite a bit
of action over the States two big
political plums-Governor and u. S.
Senator-and report has it that the
Democratic State Central Committee
and for that matter, the powers that
be, in Washington also-are deter
mined to move heaven and earth
to keep these two important jobs
in the Democratic column, and also
to elect Democratic Congressman
as well.
On the Republican side of the
fence there is some talk that Con-
gresham J. Glenn Beall has his eye
on Senator Radcliffe's seat or
the Governors chair, in 1916,
but / doubt very much that there is
any truth in that rumor Congress-
man Beall is just starting out on a
promising political career in Wash
ington and I question whether he
would want to jeopardize that career
at this stage of the game, by engag-
ing in the uncertainties of a
gubernatorial or senatori-
al race, when he is practically as
sured of reelection to the House.

Wor Contract
 Plan Changed

Washington. Jan. 26-(UP)-The War Production Board moved today to conserve manpower and prevent a jam of war contracts in cities with acute labor shortages
 WIPE Chief J. A. Krug, it was learned, has drafted a four-point program which will give him a check rein on all government pro curement agencies which hitherto have placed contracts in any plants they chose with virtually no cen tral control. He may announce the new plan today.
 The program, approved by Mobl- liza tion Director James r. ByrneS and expected to go into effect Feb, 1, establishes WIPE as final author ity over military building activity in the 72 acute labor areas, designated as Group I regions.
 The purpose of the new controls is to conserve manpoWer in critical areas for only the most vital types of munitions which cannot be pro duced elsewhere.
 Krug's plan also further curtailS manufacture of civilian goods under the near-dead spot authorization plan by extending the ban on it's use to another 75 cities in the Group IT, or potentially short labor areas. Use of the plan is already prohib- tied in the Group I areas and some cities in Group IT.

DownesGiven Auditor Post
 At $75OO Per

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 26-(UP)- The General Assembly wound up the fourth week of the 1945 sesion today with activities virtually con- fined to introduction of bills and 'resolutiolS.
 The establishment of a state veterans service bureau, coordinat- ing all agencies dealing with serV- icemens rights and benefits, was proposed in the house by Rep Clarence E. NeWett R. Winchester. The bureau would be set up in the state office building and perform, at state expense, all research and negotiations in behalf of the veter- ans.
 The house concurred with the senate in approved the reappoint- ment of former Democratic State Senator Joseph B. DoWnes, Norwich, as state auditor for four years, from July l. at a salary of $7,500 a year.
