Sept. 13 attack was made after Wallace's New York City speech which started the excitement which compelled MT. Truman to fire him last Friday
 The Moscow radio over the week end said Wallace was a leader of the worlds progressive clements who seek peace. Moscow sees him as a spokesman of Roosevelt foreign policies. The Sunday edi- tion of the Daily Worker, published in New York, concluded that Wal lace had compelled the War and Navy Departments to confess that they were planning a quick, pre- ventive war against Russia.
 The fact that Wallace made that charge has caused some uneasiness here because it fits so perfectly with the Moscow propaganda cam paign to convince the world that the United States wants war, not peace. Coming from a member of the Presidents cabinet, such a charge is difficult to knock down. Secretary of War Robert P. Pat terson and Secretary of Navy James V. Forrestal jointly denied any such plan or desire existed. Their denial already has been twisted by the Communist press into confession of guilt.
 The platform of an American peace movement is contained in the letter Wallace sent to President Truman" the Sunday Worker edi- torialized.
 ''The whole world now knows how the majority of Americans feel. They expressed their desire through Wal lace's platform, which now becomes the banner of mighty movement
 Now many people can see the things which American Communists have been pointing out almost single handedly until now

Firefiehters Goze ReverentIy At Burnt Steak

Hartford, Sept. 23-(UP)-In these meat-scarce days even the smell of a broiling steak revives memories, and hopes.
 At least that's probably what firemen thought when they dashed to the home of Kath- crime McConough. groped their way through fragrant smoke and found the cause of the alarm was what, at one time, had been a nice juicy steak.
 After gazing reverently at the charred remains, they went back to the firehouse to report: No fire. Meat burning on stove. No salvage"

I | party remained at the scene of the crash today, completing the task of purying the victims. They will make the journey back to Gander on foot after their work is done.
 Perier said white crosses would mark the graves of the 26 victims Of the worst disaster in the history of commercial transatlantic avia- tion. Aerial funeral services will be held, probably tomorrow, when the Protestant bishop of Gander and Father Mccarthy of the Roman Catholic Church, will hold services for the 26 in airplanes slowly circl- ing the area. The Newfoundland government ordered flowers drop ped from a plane on the tiny ceme- tery named St Martins-in the Woods" by the survivors in honor of the Army doctor, Samuel P. Martin, who untiringly administer ed to the injured until they were evacuated. Dr. Martin was in the rescue party that reached the scene last Thursday night.
 han AnLO tOS Near Land
 Although Dr. James Patton of the Newfoundland partment of health refused to permit the sur vlvorS to be interviewed, the details of the crash were pieced together from accounts told members of the rescue party.
 The plane had flown all the way from Brussels in good weather and had run into fog few hours out of Gander. When the plane reached the airfleld, the control tower radioed Capt. Jean Ester, pilot, that he could not land because of low ceiling.
 A few minutes later the steward ess came through and told the pass engers they would not land. Then the crash occurred. The huge silver plane ploughed into the trees with mighty roar, cutting a path 300 feet long. There was a moment of complete silence shattered by the screams of the injured.
 Those in the aft section of the plane were the least hurt. They Jumped to the ground and sank to their knees in the oozing muck of the heavily-wooded marsh. There were three of them, Charles Kron- engold, 29, diamond dealer. of New York; Etienne Perier, son of the director of the airline, and Jean Il. Polak, 26, Brussels architect.
 Fire Delayed Minutes
 They heard the screams for help rom the plane and ran back to heIp the other survivors out.
 The plane caught fire a few min- tues a1ter It crashed but the three succeeded in getting IT persons out before they were driven back by the flames. It was with difficulty that kronengold and Polak kept young Perier from going back into the in- ferno to rescue his mother and sis- ter.
 Miss Jean Rooki, 30, one of the two hostesseS aboard and the only crew member to survive, took com mand and, ordered the men to make the injured as comfortable as pos- slole. Miss Rookie suffered severe !aceratlons of the legs and injured knees, but she continued to help the others and even administered blood plasma which was dropped later by rescue planes.
 Alter they had cared for the wounded, Miss Rooki directed the three men to set out on foot for Gander Airport.
 Couldn't Go Further
 They soon realized it was useless. Their feet were bruised and swollen ana it was almost impossible to make any headway through the

and popular family that once mum. bered 10 children. Waterburys ath- letics, civic and fraternal affairs have all gained added prominence by their association with many members of his family. His mother was a long time leader and jealous Democratic Party worker, and de- spite this lengthy political tenure Pat Kelley is the first of the family to seek public office.
 It might tend to confuse his ef- forts to label him an Independent particularly in view of his family strong adherence to Democratic Party principles, yet he demon strates such flair when he states
 The decision (to seek the nomi- nation) is the result of my person. al inclination and not at the urg- ing of friends or political associa- tions."
 Kelley has had close relations with many of the problems of to- day as result of his position as head of the industrial relations depart ment of the Naugatuck Chemical and Synthetic Rubber plants of the U. s. Rubber Company from which he resigned Aug. to give full time to his candidacy effort.
 Commended for Efforts
 Active in management-labor re- lations problems with the famed rubber concerns, Kelley has had his efforts receive the commenda- tions of representatives of both factions.
 Part of his responsibilities also in- cluded appearances before national housing authorities in Washington and Boston and resulted, in part, in approvals for construction of dwellings in and around Naugatuck. Added to this, by way of his link with national and personal prob lems, were his contacts with the WIPE and War Food Administra- tions in probing manpower and ma terial problems to process the manufacture of agricultural chem icals so vital to the farming indus try during the war.
 Other duties meant the handling of personnel problems and affairs of returned servicemen.
 His is an all-over record of ad- ministrative ability and back ground.
 Don't Give Up Easily
 T gained considerable eXperi- ence in planning numerous pro- grams and fulfilling such plans and I believe that I can apply this ex- perience to the problems of the 5th District, Connecticut and the na- tion, Kelley states with conviction.
 A man with oratorical abilities Che once taught public speaking), he is fluent, easy speaker. A graduate of Crosby High School and Niagara University, Class of 1881, his lifelong residence in Wa terbury has brought him many friends.
 The Kelleys don't give up easily" he says good-naturedly in express ing his determination to seek the nomination at Thursdays conven- tion in Torrington.
 His approach to the complexities of securing nomination as a Con- gressman is realistic and without rancor.
 T have tried to state my case simply and without hidden purpose to political leaders and the people of the District" he told this writer. T am in this fight in all sincerity in the belief that I can qualify for the post and also in the belief that a Waterbury man should qualify. I have always subscribed to the prin- ciples of the Democratic Party and shall continue to do so,"
 Let the chips fall where they may he says with a grin.

cred in the low forties and a drizziy rain added to the discomfort of the survivors, their biggest problem was mosquitoes. Smudge fires had to be kept going at all times to keep them away.

 A plank landing platform had to be built on the edge of the lake for the helicopters and the survivors were transferred to rubber boats and ferried out to the PBY.

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

There are many things of which
we might write on this hot July
/ day--of the birds, the bees and
the fowers-or of the sayings and
doings of some resident of the
county but we just have not the
energy to locate something. How
about a glimpse into the past via
the old Sentinel scrapbook
On Friday, September 9Th, 1862
the Sentinel made its appearance
as half-sheet. This unusual oc-
curance was explained in its edi-
torial column because of the ar
rest of the editor Matthew Fields
by Union authorities" The Sen
tinel office was reported as "ran.
sacked and valuable files destroy
ed" *+*# A new ball, weighing
some $50 pounds had been placed
in the cupola Of st. Mary's Catho.
lie Church. ***% Announcement
was made of the forming of part
nership between w. Viers Bouic

Bowie and John T. Vinson. Sep.
TENDER s, 1862.
Later in the autumn OF that
year a dramatic account of the
fighting around Harper's Ferry is
given as sketched from The Sun
and the New York Times. Three
soldiers were reported to have
killed Thomas N. Wilson, on the
Brookeyille turnpike near the toll
gate, when he tried to stop the
theft of some pigs. **** Hazel
Cashell, judge Of the Orphans
Court, had his pocket picked while
attending to some business in
Washington. His loss was between
81 400 and $4,000. Liberal reward
offered.
A detailed and accurate ac-
count of the expenses of the
county" is printed in later Sep
TENDER issue. The total levy was
$22,509.32. The county manager
gets almost half that amount in
this year of 1916!
In March 1863 this item aroused
our curiousity." The judges of the
Orphans Court, according to Ar
ticle Is, Section 80, Of the Code
of Public Laws, have appointed
the following as a Board Of Com
Missioners Of the Public Schools of
Montgomery County: Thomas

had varied duties in those early
days.

though the county created in l776,
it was not laid off into election
districts until 1898. There was
evidently no record kept Of the
original lines so in 1921 they were
laid off anew into five divisions.
