In the course of looking through the newspaper, saw an item on Page l, headed "Flash!", which made the statement that the CIO Political Action Committee backed Joseph Talbot for the Republican nomination for governor.
 We all make mistakes, but never in my many years of working on newspapers, and reading them, have ever seen anything as gross ly in error as this
 The CIO for years has been seek ing to retire Talbot from public office. We have long regarded him as an arch enemy of the com- mon people.
 I am enclosing clippings of ar- ticles that have appeared in The Vanguard, publication of the Con- necticut CIO; also leaflet issued three months ago when Talbot an- nounced he was seeking the guber- material nomination, with the re- orted backing Cat that time) of Gov. Baldwin; and also statement issued in the election campaign two years ago when Talbot was run- ming for Congress.
 If you care to correct the mis- statement in the September 28 is- sue, it will provide your readers with the opportunity to know the truth, although most of them al- ready probably understand the real facts of the case through reading the frequent CIO statements on Talbot that have been issued to the daily newspapers and through items which have appeared from time to time in the Bridgeport Herald.
 Notwithstanding this error of yours, may congratulate your publication and your organization on the vigorous stand you have taken in support of that sterling liberal, Mrs. Woodhouse?
 Fraternally and sincerely,

Stockings are going through 8 mild revolution, and we aren't citing nylon queues, blac1. market barter or new plastic wonders as cases in point. What our lovely sheers are going through is drastic change in the old conception of how they should fit. In it's place comes the newer idea that fit should be pro- portionate to the size and width of your foot and tot he fulness and length of your leg. The promise is bitter fit and longer wear.
 Since this idea has caught on, many manufacturers are revamping structural designs, and as many as three leg lengths are available in any one given size.
 To take the burden of guess work off the customer and the salesWoman, some stocking counters are now equipped with measuring devices which turn the job of fit ting you over to an infallible ma- chine.

On thet heory that full ness of foot takes up length, the measurement of the width is con- sidereed as important as the length. Because the fulness of the calf is a contributing factor in deter mining length, that is measured by device that slips aroundn the leg like bicycle clip. The length of stocking required is then meas ured by a pul-up tape which makes a point of contact with the customers girdle.
 A short girdle calls for a long stocking and vice versa.
