Democrats Dust Mddletown COP: Gain ELseuhere
Lobor Champ Gets 4th ern In Stamford
BY UNIFIED PRESS

A survey of the election results in two Connecticut cities and 54 towns showed today that while the Democrats made slight gains in some of the smaller communities they were able to make a clean sweep at Middletown and oust the administration of two-term Repub- lican Mayor Salvatore T. Cubeta.
 Emilio Q. Daddario, former Wes- leyan football star, led the Demo- crats to victory, and personally re- ceived 4,686 votes as against Cube ta's 4,306. It. Gov. Wilbert Snow, the Democratic nominee for gov ernor, won reelection to the Board of Education and boiled fl votes more than Daddario.
 In the other city election, at Stamford, Republicans retained control. Mayor Charls E. Moore, champion of the Yale & ToWne lock workers during their dramatic strike early this year, was returned to office for fouth consecutive term. He defeated Edward A. Cor nell, Democrat, 7,968 to 7,063. In the Stamford town election, George T. Barrett, Republican, was re- elected. He received 11,357 votes while George E Murphy, Jr., World War veteran, received 8,888 votes.
 Most pronounced Democratic gains were at Southington, Granby, Windham, Beacon Falls, Branford and Hebron. Republicans picked up support at Morris, Lebanon, An dover and Westport, but not enaugh to match the Democratic gains.
 State chairmen of both of the major parties found trends" in their favor in the election results.
 Democratic Chairman John M. Bailey said that there is no doubt that the results indicate very strongly that the people of Con- necticut were heartened by the freedom of action enjoyed at the unbossed Democratic convention last month and will further express their feeling of confidence in the Democratic Party by electing It. Gov. Snow as the next governor of Connecticut, ending Wilbur L. Cross and Joseph M. Tone to the U. s. Senate and electing full Demo- cratic ticket"
 Republican Chairman Harold E. Mitchell said that although the returns in the greater number ot towns indicate powerful Republi- can potential for the State election next month, the results in few of the purely local contest indicate the fallacy of Republican overconfi- dence that has been apparent in the past few weeks. I am confident that the citizens of our State realize the importance of the State cleo tions on Nov. 5 and will deliver a resounding Republican majority"

Truman Tells AFL Full Production Needed Now

Chicago, Oct. 8. (UP)-President Truman, whose 'hold-the-line" policy on wages and prices was as- sailded by AF.L. President William Green, said in message to dele gates at the 18th AFL. conven- tion today that the nation could reach a goal of abundance for all only if it ruled out sub-standard wages and inf1ationary prices.
 In his 30O-word message read to the Federation of Labor's annual assembly, the President said that today, no less than in wartime, our need is full, sustained produc- tion."
 Our demonstrated capacity holds out the promise of secure abundance for Americas wage and salaried workers as well as for our farmers and business and profeS- sional' people. but to reach this goal we must use all of our resources and materials and men, and we shall need the full cooperation of industry, labor and government" he said.
 Addressed to Green
 By def1nition,( this goal pre- cluded the payment of sub standard wages, just as it precludes infationary prices which eat away real purchasing power
 MT. Truman, whose message from the White House was addressed to Green, said that T very much re- gret than I cannot meet with you |. . This convention is of deep signifl- canoe because the officers and mem- bers of the American Federation of Labor are among the chief GUS todians of American democracy"
 Leaders of organized labor, the President said, have an obligation to play a decisive part" in history.
 Moreover" the President said. This obligation is laid upon you at a time when not only the welfare and security of the American people, but the peace of the world may be at stake.
 Asks Unions to Show Way
 ITO me, at least, the part that or ganized labor must play is definite and clear. Now, more than ever, organized labor must speak for and act in behalf of all who labor. You must demonstrate as you did during the war, that the goals of organized labor are identical with the goals of our democratic nation"
 The President said that there are those who doubt labor's motives and question labor's aims"
 Now, as always, the answer to that challenge must come from within the ranks of labor I am con- f1dent that the delegates to this great convention will be eager to reply"

Street Workers to Map Course on Mayors Reply
Motter Is Up ToWorks Board , Monoqon Says

A meeting of the approximately 100 A.F.L organized employees of the City's Street Department will be called for tonight or Thursday, Tim othy F. Collins, secretary of Truck Drivers Local 667, told The Demo- |crat today.
 The meeting has been called to discuss action on a letter received today from Mayor John s. Mon agan by MT. Collins in which the Mayor states that the Board of Works is the authorized body for dealing with the union in terms of recognition of the latter as bar gaining agent.
 The Mayor cited Section 240 of the Charter which provides that the Board of Works shall handle all matters dealing with officers and employees under it's jurisdiction. The Street Department is under the di- rect jurisdiction of the Board. The next regular scheduled meeting of the Board is slated for Oct. 15.
 Seek Wage Increase The AFL.-organiZe workers also seek further increases in hourly wages above the cents an hour in- crease automatically provided by the city last week. Also demanded by MT Collins is the alleged need for improvements in working con- ditions at the city yards
 City Administration representa- tives today termed as inaccurate re- ports of "intolerable conditions in the yard" which referred to the one toilet in use and the use of an old building for the workers. The repre- sentatives stated that three toilets are in use and every effort has been made to construct a new building, a move hampered by lack of mater ialS."
 Also sought by the union is flat 40-hour week for employees with overtime to be paid accordingly. At present, some workers, particu- larly street-sweepers, work on an average of 40 to 49 hours a week as regular work week with overtime determined on the basis of Satur- day afternoon or holiday work. Current salary rates for workers average $114 an hour for skilled mechanics, between $.72-.76 an hour for laborers and $59 an hour for the street sweepers.
 Explains Union Stand MT. Collins today declared that the A.F.L. constitution bylaws con- tain no clause forbidding a strike by municipal employees and stated that we abhor however, any such action on the part of such employees"
 T do feel, however, that the City Administration is denying the Uni ted States Constitutional rights to these workers when it attempts to deny them the right to bargain, such as we now seek" MT. Collins said.
 According to the union leader, the local employees have authorized a strike move if deemed necessary but said he would try to prevent such action If the proper cooper ation is shown by the Administra- tion."
 Employees will be notified today as to the formal date for the meeting to be called for discussion of the Mayors action, The meeting will be held in the union hall at 40 Scovill Street.

Bevin Denies Britons Seek Trieste Base
 Calls for Unity
 To Develop Peace
 At Conference

Paris, Oct. 8-UP)-BritiSh For eign Secretary Ernest Bevin, re- jecting any idea of dividing the world into two blocs, appealed to the Peace Conference today to make unity the basis of peace as it was the basis of victory.
 Bevin spoke at an afternoon ses- sion of the Conference, one of three scheduled for the day as the dele gates raced against a deadline for completing their work.
 Bevin denied Soviet charges that Britain had strategic interests in Trieste and was trying to establish an Anglo-American base there.
 Great Britain has no strategic Interest in Trieste at all, and never has approached the problem from that view" he said. Therefore I hope these unfounded allegations will not again be repeated"
 Bevin countered morning speech by Paul Henri Spaak of Belgium, who bitterly criticized the procedure of the conference and especially the refusal of the Big Four to modi- fy any of their prior agreements.
 On the whole the methods used here may be the best" Bevin said. Britain thinks it was a good thing to hear the smaller nations, to spend so much time hearing the former enemy states"
 He said he did not regret the slowness of the proceedings here be- cause "the further we move away from war itself the better chance we have for reason and tolerance"
 'The last thing we want is to work in groups and counter groups" he said. Unity was the foundation of o'r victory and must be the foundation of ollr Deace"

Fernandino, Fla, to Atlantic City, and small craft warnings south of Block Island, R. l., to Atlantic City.
 During the night the storm center passed inland south of Tampa, from the gulf where it reached it's great est intensity yesterday, and brought gale winds over the center of the state. Only minor damage was re- ported from the west coast, and no casualties. Estimates of fruit damage were unavailable until growers could make full 'checkups.
 The storm rapidly lost strength as it passed over land, but the winds were great enough to do severe dam- age to the anticipated $250, 900, GOO harvest of oranges, grapefruit and tangerineS. The hurricane of Sept. IS. 1914, followed almost the same path and blew down millions of boxes of fruit.
 Cities along the path reported winds of from 50 to TO miles an hour, in brief gusts, and surprising ly light rainfalls. Householders this morning began to take boards down from their windows in western and central areas. But the east coast from Melbourne to Fernandina was closed down tight.
 Tampa Hit by Twister
 At Jacksonville Beach, Mayor H. A. Prather ordered all residents to evaculate the area last night. A fire engine raced through the streets, it's siren screaming, to awaken resi- dents.
 The center of the hurricane miss ed Tampa as the storm roared in- land last night, but freak twister hit the city, uprooting trees and causing minor damage. Power in some areas was cut of.
 At least three persons, all chil- dren, were killed in Cuba's western province of Pinar Del Rio. One boy was electrocuted by a falling wire: a girl was drowned in the Cuya-
 guatie River and another girl uek crushed in the streets of 0uana.

Borrows BeefforArmv From Britain
 Source Expected
 To Be Argentina;
 Agreement Made

Washington, Oct. 8-(UP)-The War Department announced today it is negotiating with the British for the loan of 2O,0O0,00o pounds of beef until next Feb. 28, to feed American troops in the European and Pacific theaterS.
 The Army said negotiations were under way between the War Depart ment and British representatives. The official announcement did not reveal the source of the meat, but Army officials said it was beef al- located to Britain by Argentina
 The Army said the meat would relieve the precarious food situa- tion for troops in the European and Pacific theaters" and lessen the call on the United States domestic meat sources.
 The U. s. will repay the British pound by pound" prior to next Feb. 28, the Army said. The meat would be delivered in early November un- der terms of the proposed agreement.
 Agriculture Department sources said the Army negotiations with Bri- tain were started last Friday after efforts to obtain meat directly from Argentina failed. The negotiations were started when it became appar- ent that the Army could not obtain its quota of the domestic meat sup ply because of the severe shortage.
 Argentina recently signed an agreement whereby Britain will take all except IT percent of exportable Argentine meat supplies during the next 12 months.
 British circles here said that from Britain'S point of view the loan of meat to the Army would be in no sense commercial transaction. It would be necessary that the meat be returned, pound for pound, they said, because Britain, living on inn ports, has no meat to spare.
