An Army lieutenant who is devot-
ing all his terminal leave to con-
Quoting tie Victory Clothing Collec-

Seeing the need for clothing in

ed truck loaded with coal surround
ed by people poorly clad. They were
snatching Jumps to put in their sacks.
The driver of the truck, in order to
deliver his load, found it necessary
to strike at outstretched hands with
a heavy coal shovel.
European families have shared
their meager ration of erstaz coffee
with me ON cold days, or have
brought out good bottle of wine
which they Lad managed to keep hid
den from the Germans. Making a sue
cess of this clothing drive in my
home town is my opportunity to keep
alive the friendly relationship with
people who were kind to me-"
Lieutenant Haley has the full
backing of the American Legion in
Jefferson City, where war veterans
will man the clothing collection de-
pots.
The office manager for the Victory
Clotking Collection in Utica, N. Y,

Gov. O'Conor
Candidate For
u. S. Senator
Influenced By Statewide
Poll OF Voters In
His Behalf

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor mas
announced he is candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the U. S.
Senate
The Governors decision not to run
for third term at Annapolis and to
lace Senator Radcliffe in a primary
for the Senate nomination ended
MI. O'Conor would follow.
In reaching the decision to run
for the Senate, it is understood, he
was guided in part by the results of
a Statewide poll of voters made in
his behalf by a Acknowledgment
showed that he would fare much
more favorably as candidate for
the Senate than for third term as
Governor.
Senator Radcliffe is candidate for
renomination, having filed his for
NAL Gel tificate last November. He as
serted DIT the time that he was pre-
pared for primary with Governor
O'Conor if one developed.
For months, barring a third-term
candidacy OF Mr. O'Conor, the nomi-
nation for governor apparently lay
between Mr. Lane and Representa-
tive Sasscer Three weeks ago Mr..
Lane formally filed certificate of
candidacy.
Representative Sasscer has an
nounced that he will not be candi-
date for gubernatorial nomination,
and this apparently leaves an open
field fof William Preston Lane, Jr.,
OF Hagerstown, who has filed for the
nomination.
