He said this department which today has only three women, was especially important because of the numbers of policemen going into the armed Services. Although he assailed the administration. of the police department, the Republican candidate paid tribute to the personnel of that department as well as to the men in the fire department. : Gen. Tyndall said that as mayor his chief objective would be to: 1. Co-ordinate municipal funce tions with the war effort. 2. Increase the efficiency municipal services. 3. Enforce the most rigid economy consistent with that efficiency. 4. Provide expert planning for the building of a finer, more modern city when peace is restored. The candidate said that as mayor he would draft the most capable men and women in the city for top posts in the city government; that he would weed out needless employees and try to get salary raises » for those woh are not now getting * wages commensurate with the type of work they are doing and that he would improve the street cleaning and garbage disposal services.

Pledges Tax Restraint

¢ He said that with federal taxes constantly increasing, local taxes must be kept down and expensive improvement projects should be left “until after the war. “It is my conviction,” he declared, “that the most important qualification a man may have for public of-

fice today is an aggressive attitude"

toward unwise public expenditure.” He said that a master plan should be drawn up of the improvements needed by the city and that near the top of the list should be the repair and expansion of the city’s sewer: system. He said that necessary repairs in this system! should be made at once. The meeting at which Gen. Tyndall spoke was sponsored by the Women’s Tyndall Victory club.

COTTON CLUB RIOTING FIGURE BOUND OVER

Charged with assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying a pistol without a permit, Alex Sloan, 28, of 1641 Yandes st., was bound over to the grand jury today under bond. Sloan was arrested Aug. 15 during the riot at the Cotton club in which two policemen were badly beaten. Police records stated that Sloan was found standing over the prostrate form of a white man near the club at the time police arrived. The two policemen, Casper Kleifgen and Charles Cavender, have since recovered from their injuries.

men with collateral dependents to fill the December call, Mr. Rosner said. Board 11 has an unusually large supply of 20-year-old men because many high school graduates have moved from various parts of the state into the board area, which covers the northwestern part of the county, to work at Allison's and other deferise plants. These plants make no objection to the calling of these men when they reach their 20th birthdays, the board chairman said. -For example, he pointed out that Allison's has asked for the deferment of only two 20-year-old men, both of whom had been working at the plant two years. The board's policy, with exceptions in particular cases, is not to defer any single man as a vital worker who has not’ been working in a defense plant for six months. Mr. Rosner said that when it be-

Doctors’ Work ‘Wasted He said that there were not enough men with working wives or wives with independent incomes in the board area to make any difference. “However,” he remarked, “we will not take a man in cases where it would work an undue hardship on the wife—for example, where the wife is an invalid.” Board 11, like other county boards, is sending its remaining 1-B men to the army over a four-month period ending in December. No married men have yet been sent by the board except those who were not supporting their wives and families and those who married since Pearl Harbor. “We have tried in filling our calls to follow the regulations to the letter,” Mr. er commented.

General Election’ Since Pearl Harbor.

By UNITED PRESS 8ix states, selected candidates in

Maine, the first state to hold a general election since the war

started. : Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and New Jersey chose candidates for senatorial, congressional and state posts while Democrats in Connecticut held their state nominating convention. Connecticut Republicans picked candidates yesterday. ‘Mississippi had a runoff primary

six-year term over. Democrat Fulton J. Redman, former political columnist, 111,101 to 55,592, with only four precincts out. Governor Sumner Sewell led his Democratic rival, George Washington Lane Jr., by about the same margin to win his second term.

Roosevelt-Hater Wins

In the close Maine congressional races, former Governor Louis J. Brann, best Democratic votegetter, was defeated in the first district by former State House Speaker - Robert Hale (R.), . who wrole a magazine article in 1936 entitled, “I, Too, Hate Roosevelt.” The first district vote, with only two precincts missing, was 37,805 to 28,674. In the second district, Rep. Margaret Chase Smith (R.) was a two-to-one winner over Bradford C. Redonnet ¢(D.), Wiscasset lawyer, making ‘his political debut. In Wisconsin, primary election interest centered in the race for the gubernatorial nomination between Gov. Julius P. Heil, state Senator Milton T. Murray and Dr. James K. Robinson. Governor Heil seeks his third term. Six Democrats seek nomination for the governor's post.

Tires vs. Cleanup In Michigan, chief interest centered in the race between Circuit Judge Homer Ferguson, Gerald L. K. Smith, former Huey Long aid, and Elton R. Eaton for the Republican senatorial nomination. Smith campaigned on a platform of “tires for everyone,” while Judge Ferguson relied on his record for cleaning up Wayne county and Detroit politics through his one-man grand jury investigation. Senator Prentiss M. Brown, (D.), was unopposed. New Democrats decide between former Gov. Alvin: Lucier and Francis Murphy, ‘shoe manu-

In Massachusetts, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. was opposed by Courtenay Crocker for the Republican senatorial nomination. Governor Leverett Saltonstall was unopposed for Republican remonination. In the Democratic senatorial primary, Rep. Joseph E, Casey, Daniel H. Coakley, John. F. Fitzgerald and Joseph Lee sought the nomination. The hottest primary race in New Jersey was between Gill Robb Wilson, state aviation director; Albgrt W. Hawkes, Kearney industrialist, and four others for the Republican senatorial nomination. In addition, eight Republican and Democratic contests must be decided. Mississippi Democrates voted to select a senatorial nominee, whose choice will be equivalent to election, since only South Carolina has fewer Republicans than Mississippi. Former Senator James O. Eastland had a 12,000 vote lead over four other can-
