Nand and other COnIuuIllSG4S-uoAi1 nted countries" he told this writer. sMurder, confiscation and family s¶tions are the order of the day for those who insist on being loyal to their native land"
 A former Representative to the Connecticut General Assembly l193o-4O), Tom Radzevich served 3 1-2 years with the U. s. Navy as lieutenant during World War II fer reting out the Japs in the Marshall Islands.
 Sandy-haired, sturdily construct ed and genial he is a popular and well-respected man in his native town of Torrington, A graduate ot Torrington High School, he attend- ed Trinity College, Hartford, and the George town School of Foreign Service in Washington, D. c.
 He possesses familiar touch with She Washington scene, born of his service as right-hand man of Vari- pus 5th District representatives. During the congressional term of incumbent Federal Judge J. Joseph Smith, formerly of Waterbury Radzevich was a member of his staff. Following his own membership with the Connecticut General As sen1bly he again went to Washing ton as secretary to Congressman t.lcian Maciora, serving with him sntil he entered the Navy in 1942.
 Given honorable discharge in Eanuary, a946, he again returned to Washington, this time as secretary tO Congressman-at-large Joseph F. Rytez. He recently resigned his po- Eftion to give full time to his efforts to secure the Democratic nomina- Hion.
 Cxiticizes Lack of Housing
 sT feel I have the qualifications with which to serve the people of the 5th District, Connecticut and the nation" he says. T served there during the pFe-war and postwar periods and in the armed forces during the war years. It has given me a valuable insight into the prob- lem of the civilians and the veter- ans"
 Like other candidates, he speaks of the 5th District and Connecticut n segmerbS which go to make up the entity.
 The housing situation he deplores mainly as the 'lack of constructive effort on the part of Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin'S housing committee" a group made up entirely of Repub- Means.
 "very little has been accomplish ed to alleviate this situation in Con- f1ecticut by this group" Radzevich contends. "A harmonious federal and state program must be effected immediately to offset the situation. ''
 He earnestly believes that the fu- bure of Connecticut depends on the harmony, too, between labor and industry.
 'Each has 8 product to sell. With out harmony neither will have a product" he sums up.
 Veteran Unity Urged
 Radzevich talks of the veterans from experience, like many of the other congressional candidates from this district who served in the war.
 Theirs is 8 responsibility heavier than the rest" he contends. They must work together in unity in the nation they fought to preserve. They are the citizens of today and to- morrow"
 Torrington, though an industria city, is set in the Litchfield hills and farmers and their interests are not unfamiliar. Thus Tom Radzevict speaks with ease when he talks o1 the farmers and praises them fol having shown more production during the war years than ever be- fore"
 "A fair price for their products must be assured the farmers o1 Connecticut" he contends. "Thi! can only be accomplished by more balanced economy, both nationally and in the State, which will natur- ally produce balanced market"
 When he discusses Communism Tom Radzevich's anger is as Amer. ican as the sharp crack of rifle.
 Must Show Russia Her Place
 '@We should not tolerate Commun. ism in any form in this country" ht states. Certainly too, we should no allow Russia to bully us in any par of the world. We cannot co-operat' with her until we have first Show1 her what is her place in the world
 Torrington Democrats are solidl. behind Radzevich. They believe h, has 8 balanced outlook on the loca and national scene.
 He is the father of nine-month' old son, Thomas, Jr., and the hus band of a former U. s. Navy nurse the former Pauline Mlynorski o New Britain, who served two year during the war.
 Campaigning is almost as bat as the armed forces for Keeping vol sway from your loved ones he say with sailing good nature.
