war veteran. He rose from the
ranks to become an artillery cap
tain and took part in the Meuse-
Argonne offensive in World
War I.
This veteran angle is heavily ac-
Icented in the Republican ticket.
Former Representative Joseph e.
Talbot. who is the Republican
candidate against Senator Nc
Mahon, also is a war veteran.
None of the three top Democratic
candidates are veterans. Also,
veterans are in the preponderance
among the six Republican candi-
dates for the House.
Money Expendablc Factor.
Money is the expendable in this
campaign. 1t flows like water, for
all kinds of advertising, radio and
television appearances of the can
didates.
Senator Benton uses a helicop-
ter to carry him to his rallies. He
has two, in fact. The first arrives
to announce that Senator Benton
is approaching, and then the Sen
ator flies in. Senator McMahon
has put out a comic strip booklet
about himself and his record-and
it doesn't minimize that record.
While the Republicans have
money, too. they say that they are
not spending one-flfth Of The
amount that goes out from the
Democrats.
The loss by the Democrats OF
either Of the Connecticut Senate
seats would be a gain for the
Republicans. Last summer, when
the war in Korea was going badly.
and when prices were high and
going higher. it looked extremely
bad for the entire Democratic
ticket. But when the forces under
the direction of Gen. Macarthur,
started rolling in Korea. a great
burden was lifted from the Demo-
Gratis and their chances improved
materially.
House Delegation Now Split.
Connecticut's House delegation
is split three and three between
the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis. Only one of the Demo-
Gratis, Representative Ribicoff ts

regarded as quite certain of re-
election.

Of picking up the other two oc-
cupied by Democrats.
Albert Morano, former secre-
tary to Clare Boothe Luce when
she was in the House. has been
named to run in the strongly
Republican fourth district, which
has been represented for two terms
by Mr.. Lodge. He is expected to
win easily.
Representative Sadlak. Republi-
can. is running at-large. and his
fate will depend to a great ex-
tent on what happens to the
State ticket. He survived the 1948
Republican defeat by a narrow
margin. His chances are re-
garded as better than even.

gated by the NaZis, was blamed on
the Communists to arouse anti
Communist feeling.
rs The two said reported attempt
to link the Communist Party with
the shooting suggests an effort
at a Fascist provocation.
This apparently referred to re-
ports that Communists had stirred
up trouble in Puerto Rico, indl-
rectly helping the Nationalists.

History is full of instances in
which similar acts of terrorism
have been instigated or used for
the purpose of cracking down on
the labor and peace movements,

faists are now appealing convlc-
tions on charges of conspiracy TO
advocate the violent overthrow OF
