 Action by State

Middletown, Oct. 8 - (UP)- A promise that there will be no poe tic license" in his campaign was made today by Dr. James L. McCon- aughy, Republican gubernatorial candidate.
 Defining poetic license as "the privilege given to a poet to say what every one knows is not true, solely to make an effect" McConaughy hit at Wesleyan poet and Lt.-Gov Wilbert Shows proposal for import ing meat from the West, with the State paying the freight.
 This proposal is absolutely pro- hibited by the rules and regulations imposed by the Truman Adminis- tration," he said. ITO say that Governor Baldwin or any individual could bring in an adequate supply of meat for Connecticut under the present Federal regulations is 8 cruel, misleading joke"
 The former Wesleyan president charged that his rival "has been selected as a guinea pig by the left wingers of Trumanism to test 8 clumsy hoax that has been con- trived in desperation to divert the eye and mind of the voting public away from the shortcomings and tragic mistakes of the Democratic national administration"
 Meanwhile, Snow renewed his de- mands that Governor Baldwin take steps to alleviate the meat short- age, especially in regards to State institutions and private hospitals Snow said a Montana cattleman had wired that 10000 head of cattle were ready for shipment to Con- necticut, if the State will pay trans portation costs
 The Governor, who placed the blame for the meat shortage on the national administration meanwhile took issue with Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio regarding the Nuremberg trials. Taft was quoted as con- demning the verdict as being mis- carriage of justice.
 Baldwin countered, these men have been convicted of violating moral code that most of the world accepts. They had an opportunity to defend themselves in lengthy trial. The precedent established is & wholesome and beneficial prece- dent for the future"

Many Bakeries in State |Mau Be Forced to Close

State bakeries are operating on hand to mouth" basis with no assurance that they will soon have adequate supplies of ingredients, William V. Tobin, president of the Connecticut Bakers Association, de- clared today. Renewing an earlier plea for the lifting of federal con- trols, he asserted that many bak- cries will be froced to close in the immediate future" unless this is done.
 MT. Tobin, treasurer of the Epi- cure Shop, Inc, cited grave short ages of flour, shortening and which confront the makers of bread and other bakery products. Not a bak- cry in the state has healthy situation in regard to ingredients, ," he claimed.
 Many bakeries have less than a weeks supply of materials on hand, with no assurance that more will be available before the exhaustion point is reached" he said.
 The approaching bread crisis, he predicted, will be worse than any, thing during the war;" unless ma terials are made available. He de- clared that the shortage has been steadily growing worse since the "freemarket" period in July when OPA controls were not in effect.
 Analysing the shortage of speci- fic ingredients, MT. Tobin said that the maritime and truck strikes have reduced sugar deliveries even below the OPA quotas of 60 percent of the amount used in 1941,
 Shortening, he said, is almost completely unobtainable, though lard was available for a time. The only hope, he reported, is that in- creased amounts of vegetable oil may become available within a few weeks.
 In the flour situation, MT. Tobin said, despite the record 1946 harvest OPA ceilings have Caught" millers between rising costs and fixed sell ing prices and have led them to stop buying wheat and making flour bakers, he said, have not been able to stock up on flour because of changes made during September in the standards set by the govern ment.
