CONN. TEACHERS LEGISLATIVE MINDED
 SUPPORT FIVE BILLS

Hartford The Connecticut State Teachers Association in it's one day session here last week went on record in favor of five bills that will be submitted to the General Assembly at it's next session. They concerned :
 1. Adequate state-aid for school programs.
 2. A minimum salary of $2OOO with annual minimum incre- ments of $1O0.
 3. Clarifcation of the relative powers of finance and eduea- ton boards.
 4. Election of boards of edu- cation on a non-partisan basis.
 5. Revision of the continuing 2 contract law to assure greater job security for teachers.
 All of these matters were pre- sented to the group of 15OO teachers at Bushnell Memorial by James A. Smith of Torring- ton who additionally pointed out the fact that though Conn. was one of the nations wealth fest states, it ranks 39th in state aid.
 In discussing the bill on sala- ry proposal MT. Smith indicated that 30% of Connecticut s teachers received less than $2OOO last year and that 50@o did not receive more than $230O.

UNIV. NORTH CAROLINA AMONG FIRST TEN
 CHAPEL HILL EXCEIS

Chapel Hill, N. C.-Under the leadership of Dr. Frank Ora ham, president, the University of North Carolina has been gradually moving far in the vanguard of American Univer- sities. Chapel Hill now is known nationally as one of the most liberal institutions on the mat ter of race and labor problems.
 As further evidence of this increasing prestige the Univer- sity has recently won the dis tinction of being judged one of the ten best universities in the nation. The poll to determine this status was conducted by Look magazine.

HONESTY IS
 { DULY REWARDED AWARDED $S40

New York-Richard Holmes, while on duty the other day at the Grand Central Station as a Red Cap, was loading passen- gers into a cab. As the car that preceded the one he was loading whizzed away, he noted that the lady who had entered it had dropped a small case. Holmes rushed to the case and called out after the swiftly moving cab but the station din drowned his cries. Holmes then looked in the case and found that there were a number of pieces of jewelry and immediately took them to the terminal police office.
 In the course of events, Holmes forgot the whole incl dent until he was called to the offices of the Ocean Guaranty Insurance Company. There he was told that the jewels that he had found had been claimed by the owner and that they were valued at $15,0O0. The com pany then presented him, with an award-of $840.

CAPT. CUSTIS ON
 TERMINAL LEAVE
RESIGNS POLICE FORGE

Hartford - Captain Lemuel Custis, a Hartford boy who se- cured leave of absence from the Hartford Police force early in the War to qualify for the Air-Force, is now on terminal leave and planning to re-enter civilian life.
 During the War he was at tached to the 12th Air-Force and campaigned with the 99th Pursuit Squad Division in Afri- ca, Sicily and Italy. He was abroad for about a year and a half and was one of the young sters of the group who pio- neered in the American Air Force and made an amazing combat record.
 MT. Custis is graduate of the Hartford Public High School and Howard University in Washington, D. c.
 At the last meeting of the Police Commission Friday, Oct. 25th, MT. Custis' resignation from the force was submitted and accepted. This is in line with some specific plans MT. Custis has for entering another field of work responsibility, which VII be announced in the near future.

sues have come to the front. This is rather doubtful reason ing. It might be far better guessing to say that the people have been conditioned to meet ing major issues all during the war period and therefore they do not go into the old time fren- zy about things that they are very concerned about.
 If the weather is fair, there is very apt to be a large turnout for this election as well as a great many party shocks. In fact perhaps the 9th of Novem- Der will have great many of the smart boys more confound- ed than they were the morning after the last election for May or. For it would seem that the American public is becoming far more sophisticated in its political manifestations. When they have but two choices, they will even put the one that they do not particularly. want into office, purely as a protest vote. Then what are the possibilities now when they actually have an opportunity to chew the situa- tion up into many different parts9 Yes, 1t looks like the joys and sorrows are going to be pretty equally divided.

OPA CRACKS DOWN ON AUTO CHISLERS TWO ARRAIGNED

Manchester The whitening OPA descended like a ton of brick on the heads of two Man chester people the other day, who it is alleged they assumed that the OPA was much more prostrate than it turned out to be.
 The individuals involved in the charge that they exceeded the OPA ceilings on cars are W. Alexander Cole, of the Cole Motors, Manchester and an en- ployee, Miss Helen A. Holbrook.
 It. is alleged that this couple exacted a payment of $2650 for a 1946 Pontiac four door sedan. The ceiling price for this same car is $1648.33.
 The transaction was made by the buyer, Erwin Surell, in the Cole Go. salesroom. 26 $10O bills and one $50 was paid to Miss Holbrook. At the same time that the transaction was made two OPA investigators were present posing as prospec- tive customers.
 OPA Administrator Stanley Crute in commenting upon this case said, 1T think that a good many people have been reluct- ant to ask for OPA help on over charges on cars, for fear they may lose the car. For instance, MT. SureH will not only recover the overcharge, if it is proven but in any case retains the new car"
 Both MT. Cole and Miss Hol- brook are under bonds of $500, with MT. Cole facing a civil suit for $45OO. The complaint in such an action is entitled to sue for three times the over charge and the cost of the suit and other damages.

CITIZENS COUNCIL
 RE-ORCANIZE 16 GROUPS AFFILIATE

Hartford - The Hartford Negro Citizens Council held a reorganization meeting for postwar planning Thursday evening, Oct. 24th, at the North End Community Center. Six teen different civic, social and fraternal organizations were present.
 Dr. Isaac W. Cornwall, chair man, presided over the meeting and gave a summary of the ac- complishments of the Council through the war years.
 MT. N. P. Dotson of the Coun- cil of Social Agencies presented the necessity for reorganization of the program in order to meet the postwar problems.
 The concensus of opinion was that the Council was an ex- tremely important basis upon which could be fashioned a very potent community force and should therefore be expanded and strengthened.
 The Council decided to set-up immediately an overall com mittee that would meet within the next ten days to develop plans that would lead to speci- fic objectives. These objectives were in the field of employment, housing, education and con- munity attitudes.
 Those organizations repre- sented in this initial meeting were IXL Club, Women s League, Literaces, NAACP, Sigma Phi Lambda, Mothers and Homemakers Club Prince Hall, Masons, Inter-cee Club, TreHis Temple, St. Monica's Women's Auxiliary, American Legion Auxiliary, Knights of Pythias, Young Women's Mis- sionary Society, AMEZ, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Independent Social Center, Intercollegiate Club and the North End Com munity Center.

JOHN NEWELL TO STEP DOWN COACHED 28 YEARS

Hartford-After 28 years of coaching at the Hartford Public High School, Johnnie Newell is to lay down the reins after the present football season, the. re- port goes.
 Newell, who came to H.P.H.S. straight from his college days at Springfield College and Co., lumbia University, has built in the course of years, one of the best records in the high school coaching field of anyone in New England.
 When he first took over up on the Hill, H.P.H.S. was the only high school in the city. Thus material came from all over the city and the school boasted some of the finest teams in this section. During those times the team play was so ex- ceptional that practically the whole football schedule was made up of such preparatory schools as Taft, Kent, Rosen- baum Prep, Springfield College Freshman team and others in that class.
 Positive proof of the calibre of athlete that Newell turned out is the fact that many of them later excelled at some of the biggest colleges in America ]; with one John Clipper Smith" |captaining the King of them all, Notre Dame.
 Then Hartford began to grow very rapidly and the mainten- ance of a single city high school was out of the question. Material was ultimately divided three ways with the general calibre of the team play being reduced all around.
 But Johnnie Newell has be- come an institution in school boy athletic competition in these parts and 1t will be diff cult to picture the scene with out him.

ELECTION A TOSS1J DESPITE PARTY CLAIMS DIVISION IN PARTIES

tcians these days in the city is just like listening to a discus sion of the Fourth Dimension. You get the general idea that something pretty important is involved but just how it is put together to make sense, is quite another matter. No one really knows who is going to win or why they will win. Party or ganization is still here in semb- lance but in spirit it is decidedly divided. In fact this division on both sides is sufficiently i'm portant to have so baffled party leaders that they cannot evince anything but hopeful guesses about what the people are real ly thinking and planning to do.
 Those individuals who ac- cording to party lines have been working hand and glove for years are now either completely ignoring each other or quietly holding separate meetings with the full intention of defeating some of their former running mates. In fact it is almost down to the stage of the small boy who takes his bat home and thus breaks up the neighborhood ball game, because he cannot be lead-off man.
 On the Democratic side the loyal supporters of MT. Spella- cy are still steaming about his defeat in the caucus and there fore they are not raising a hand in the cause of the party. Just what this group is quietly plan ming to do on election day is anybody's guess. Add to this the intense contest between the failing Zazzaro machine and the newly developing Palloti group and you have major confusion.
 This ought to be the golden opportunity for the Republican > party, if it were as united as some people like to say it is. Some rather definite indications seem to belle this unity though. For instance ever since the cleo tion of Mayor Moylan, some Republican big-wigs have been applying the heat for conformi- ty by him in instances where he has objected. This difference was supposedly adjusted in a formal Party Love Feast " some weeks but it is rumored that the selection of the State ticket did not please the Moylan faction. But irrespective of what fits within this whole con- fused picture, the fact remains that the Moylan faction is active in the campaign in only isolated instances.
 With this general confusion within the parties, there is little reason to wonder why at this point, no prediction that is worth mentioning, can be made about the outcome of the cleo tion.
 In fact there is every reason to believe that this election is going to be decided not on the
