The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-18

Diamond street, Union City, shortly after o'clock was the work of per- sons familiar with Gndiskis and his habits is the belief of the local po- lice. Gudiskis who operates q gasoline station on the New Haven Bethany road also sells tewelry on the side. Last night he went to Diamond street to make a collection | for some merchandise he has sold. He was about to enter the house when three men confronted him. Ac- cording to his story the trio pitched into him and in the scrimmage, the hand bag which he carried was scooped off and the trio made off, Gudiskis was knocked to the ground and stunned and at the To- cal police station following the hold IuD he complained of a pain in his head, although the police stated | there were no marks visible. The bag is thought to have contained about $1.0OO worth of jewelry, a1- though the salesman was not able to state the exact value until a checkup had been made. The hand bag contained several va1ua ble watches he reported some of them running as high as $65 apiece. Gu diskis was not certain whether the men escaped in an automobile or not but was of the opinion that he heard motor start After pulling himself together he met Officer Wal ter Lyckiewcz and told him of the incident. The officer communi- cated with police headquarters and Chief John AdamsOn and Officers Anthony Malone, Jr, with Officer LyckiewZ searched all through the section but failed to find any sus- picious looking characters about
 Parties Worried.
 Breaches in both political parties in the borough are said to be wOr- rying party leaders in regard to the coming borough election on May 4, when the voters will cast their ball 1 lots for town and borough officers. The second ward is said to be 8 bone of contention to both the dem ocrats and the republicans as there is unrest in both camps. This ward lis always close one, the majority either way being by small margin It has always been difficult to fig ure out this ward in contrast to the first and third. the former be- ing overwhelmingly democratic and | the latter always republican by large majority.
 For this reason the JefGersonians look hopefully on the second to add it's bit to tine first to overcome the z. O. D. stronghold in the third. This year from reports finds peculiar situation. The battle which took place at the democratic caucus in the second for the nomination for burgess. has left some scars which the party leaders are aware of and are trying to iron out before elec- tion day rolls around. On the other hand the republicans are said to have little worry from the Italian section of the ward, brought about through the failure of one of the prominent Italian republicans, Louis De Carlo, Jr, failing to secure the nomination for Registrar of Voters on the republican slate. The nomina- ton went to George P. Young who has served for the past 23 years. While it is reported that MT DeCarlo did not make 8 drive for the position and that he stepped aside for MT Young, many of the Italian republi- can voters believe that MT DeCarlo who has served the borough as a burgess should have been recognized and in certain circles it is stated that they were peeved. They point out that he has been one of the most active members of the parity. Whether they are going to carry this feeling on to election day will be told when the ballots are count ed. The Italian vote in the ward is always considered a factor. Per sonalIy, 1t is reported. MT DeCarlo is not making any fuss about the matter and it may be that the party members will be whipped back into line before the day for balioting. On the other hand, if some of them should throw their strength the other way, the question arises will 1t be enough to offset any votes that the Jeffersonians might lose in the ward.
 From now until election day the party heads will be kept busy try ing to iron out the wrinkles that usually following the naming of the party tickets. The freezing out of the first ward delegates in the nam ing of candidates at the democratic convention through the combining of the second and third ward dele- gates has brought no joy to. the hearts of several members of the party In the first ward. It is In this ward that the democrats must get thelf big maJOflty IT they eh- pect to remain In power for the next year.
