World Affairs Discussed By H. s. Students
 Miss SuIIivon's
 Glass Starts
 New Series

Miss Julia Sullivan, history teacher at Crosby High School, has instituted in one of her classes a series of roundtable discussions concerning national and interna- tional affairs. The topic of conver- sation at the first in the series held this week was ''The Status of Dis puted Territory in Europe"
 Those who participated in the discussion were Florence Andes, Ro- berta JurZyk, Nancy Tanning, Ed win Kelley, and William Loomis. Hannah Gelman acted as modera- tor.
 The consensus of opinion among these students was that the dispo- sition of the disputed territory be made on the following bases: ethra- logical, national security, economic needs, the part a claimant played in winning the war, and former ownership.
 Following the discussion a vote was taken by the entire class which supported the opinions expressed by the members of the panel.
 Miss Sullivan believes that these discussion will aid in making high school students aware of present. day situations.

Poris-to-U.S. Speed Record Set by B-29
 Dreomboot Londs
 At Westover Field
 After Foir Trip

Westover Field, Mass, Oct. IT, (UP)-The B 29 PacuSan Dream boat was scheduled to leave here today for Washington on the last leg of its transatlantic hop dur ing which it set new nonstop speed record from Paris to the United States of 12 hours and 25 minutes.
 The Boeing Super Fortress, fly ing at an average speed of 287 miles an hour, yesterday bettered the mark of a VIVA Constellation which covered the distance from Paris to New York in IA hours and 21 minutes on Monday
 However, the B-29 in taking the great circle route" over south Ire land, Newfoundland and Boston to Westover Field, missed the trans Atlantic mark of II hours and 50 minutes in which the VIVA plane hopped from Shannon, Fire to La- Guardia Field, New York.
 Not Dismayed Col c. s. Irvine, commander of the Dreamboat, was in no way dis mayed by his failure to crack the trans Atlantic record.
 we weren't out to break records this time," he told newsmen as he stepped from the plane. we merely came along at comfortable rate"
 The Dreamboat, which flew from Honolulu over the North Pole to Cairo just Il days ago. took of from Orly Field, Paris at 3:38 A. M. (EST) and landed here at 4:03 P. M. (EST). It was the second at- tempt the B 29 had made to get to the United States having turned back Tuesday after 500 miles be- cause of engine trouble. Before leaving, Colonel Irvine said his crew had no intentions of trying for speed mark because Of unfavorable weather conditions which were predicted.
 Have Good Weather Colonel Irvine, whose home is in St. Paul, Neb., said his nine-man crew had good weather throughout the trip, though they ran into a | few strong headwinds. He added that 200 miles out of Paris they encountered 8 brief electrical storm which damaged their radio equip ment. He said the Dreamboat was over Boston in II hours and 50 minutes out of Paris.
 The planes arrival at WeStover Field was cloaked in strictest secre- cy. Public relations officers refused at first to divulge even the take-of time, and there was some question about the exact time the Dream boat landed.
 Besides Irvine, the Dreamboat's crew consisted of:
 Col. B. H. Warren, Omaha, Neb.; It. Col. F. J. Shannon, Philadel- phia; Maj. J. R. Kerr, Arcadia, Cal; Maj. J. R. Dale, Wise, Va; Mai. J. P. Brothers, Knoxville, Tenn; R. s. Snodgrass, Seattle, Wash, civilian flight engineer; Sgt. E. G. Dasse, Huntsville, Mo; Sgt. J. F. Fish, Appleton, Wis; Maj. Norman P. Hayes, Seneca, Mo.

McLevyHits Old Parties Alliances

Lashing out at both old parties for their recent political partnership" in which they nominated each others candidates for election to the state legislature from Bridgeport, Mayor Jaspeh McLevy, Socialist candidate for governor, last night opened his campaign with radio talk over Station WICC.
 McLevy, in a warning to voters to keep their guards up," said i've are now being treated to the silly spectacle of the Democrats warmly embracing their Republican oppo- nents and the Republicans kissing their so-called Democratic enemies on both cheeks.
 Charging that t9le Socialist party has proven by cold facts and public records that the Democratic and Re- publican parties are nothing more than pair of political Siamese twins working hand glove with each other at the taxpayers ex- pense", McLevy pointed to the rec ord of the old parties as they left of- flee just befo1e his administration took over.
 Legal Salvage
 He said the city had been the vic- tim of more ripper legislation than any other city in our state, or any where else that I know of.
 Under the last Republican ad- mdnistration to hold office ir Bridgeport, conditions of the city be- came so dep1orable that they were forced to go to the legislation fol laws to salvage tine record of ttls then Republican party.
 And the last Democratic admin. istration here, which preceded ours was also forced to go to Hartford te secure laws to save the city iron complete bankruptcy. Even then, as you remember, the city couldn't pay its obligations to the merchants f dealt with; it cuoldn't meet the sal. ary payrolls due its employees" FuSiOnS
 Hitting again at the fusion of thH old parties, in their legislative ticket Mayor McLevy said Tn feeble at. tempt to justify this desperate fuSdo1 on their part and to throw smoke screen around their reai purpose they issued a joint statement severa weeks ago, a statement issued no by the voters of the Republican a11t Democratic parties, but by MT. Bige low, the alleged Republican boss, ar1t MT. Mulvihill, the so-called Demo cratic leader. They said: "Afte weeks of conferences, they haV formulated a united, sensible ana workable program for the next ses sion of the legislature, but declaret 1t cannot succeed unless 1t has tn support of seasoned and experience legislatures.
 McIevy hit the merger of the olt parties as 'fhigh-handed effort t. sabotage the successful accomplish ments of our administration. "The. are determined to force the peopl who were proud of their alegienc to these two parties, to accept tn meekly vote for the hand-picke' candidates of MT. Bigelow and MI Mulvihill, he said.
 Tn other words, these two politi cal czarS by merging forces, ar stripping the members of their owg parties from their right of free fran cllise."
