n 1OSRuOANdAI AdA4QOuQC HI NULL this state and the nation was pre- dicted in the coming November elections by Miss Vivien Kellems, Connecticut woman manufacturer, in an exclusive interview with The Democrat, prior to her address be- fore the Junior Womens Club of Waterbury.
 The petite and vivacious lady, who has been fighting office hold CTS for fairer zoning laws in Vest port for the past several years, was triumphant about the recent COP victory in that town.
 She particularly stressed she was not appearing here to talk politics, but to urge "a return to AmeN /. aIl- ism and to eradicate the cancerous growth of Communism recently im- ported into this country"
 Attired .n brown ensemble, topped with beige fox jacket, Miss Kellems made a very pretty pic ture, as she spoke rapidly about the fact that the American people had come to the crossroads, and must choose between, complete eco- homie control whic existed in Germany or a free economy similar to that which America enjoyed prior to the war" She charged that cur rent shortages were absolutely u11- necessary
 Lack Of Materials
 When asked what she had to say in defense of the charge that man. ufacturers are holding their products in the hope of obtaining higher prices, Miss Kellenls declared she felt they were false, though she was no expert on the subject.
 '"The hold-up in manufacture IS caused only by one thing" as l see 1t, the lack of raw materials. Certainly my company is not storing materials, and I assure you spend 90 percent of my time in an attempt to get ma terials.
 Tt must also be realized that one shortage makes for another" the woman manufacturer explained. Take for instance the meat short age, which limits the supply of tal- low, lard and leather.
 On the recent Truman-Wallace feud, Mss Kellens had little to say except T think our papers have taken care of that situation very well. Practically everything has been said on that matter" Re- flecting mpat;ence for the current administration, she added: Its just one more ridiculous thing. Now what right has our Secretary of Commerce to speak on foreign policy?"
 Miss Kellems was particularly disturbed about Yugoslavia. She said: Tn February, the YugoslaV militia stole a lot of automobiles which were parked outside the American embassy. Yet We continue to send them supplies. They shot down our airplanes, and killed five of our boys. They pay damages of sI50000. But does $30,000 compen- sate for the life of an American boy? Yet we continue to send them sup plies"
 America must disassociate itself from U.NN.RA immediately, Miss Keuems declaired since American dollars finance p percent Of this or ganization and 1t is being used to build Communism in Europe.
 The Westport manufacturer fur ther asserted to her way of thinking there was joker in the United Ma tions set up No one is more anxious to see LIN Work than I, she said, "but if there is a joker then I think we should know it. America defin- itely started out on the wrong bases. Why should England have six votes, Russia three, and America only one?"
 To Miss Kellems, Americas posi- ton in the United Nations could be summed up in only one way: "The position of the United States has never been lower in the estimation of the nations of the world"
 Fight For Americanism
 Outing her address, Miss Kellems urged the members of the Junior Women's Club to join the One Thou sand Club, which she asserted was no longer an organization instituted by one of the political parties, to have their special political views rec ognized, but had now become an in- strument to expose and set right the short-dealings of the government.
 She said all that was required to- day for membership was courage since joining entailed penalties such as being labeled a reactionary, ob- structionist, money-changer, econ omic royalist, or traitor, because the One Thousand Club stood for true
