 Brilliant Royal Wedding
 The prospect was for brilliant royal wedding at Westminster Ab- bey a few months hence.
 Marina is the youngest of three beautiful daughters of Prince Nic- olas of Greece. She is tall and fair, with light brown bobbed hair, all most blonde, clear Grecian features and wistful smile. She is 27 years old.
 Grace Ellison, author and friend of the princess said today that Marina always insisted she would marry for love alone.

Dutton, Irene M. Dillane, George L. Kingston, Angela Maria Santora. Burton H. Walker. Carrie J. Bradshaw, William J. Christian and Jean s. Clark.
 The second, third and fourth ward members of the new commit tee will be reorganizationists They include: Second ward, Edward H. Johnson, Elizabeth Hengeveld, Jo- seph Petroccione, Elsie Periello, Leo c. Bauby and Mabel Preusser; Grace Fava, Walter G. White, Rachael Worth. Frank R. Vara- nelli, Joseph Quigley, Arthur N. Hebert and Florence F. Sherwood; fourth ward, Joseph Carosella, Marie L. Pepin, Michael J. An thony, Margaret E. Marlin, Thomas P. Farrell and Cora L. S. Ross. Regular Procedure
 The regular procedure from now on will be-The calling of the new town committee into session by Town Chairman Conway and the election of a new slate of officers of that body; the calling of the various conventions; the naming of l state, congressional, shrievalty and 1 probate convention delegates; and 1 the nomination of senators in the 18th and 18th senatorial districts and two representatives. The new | chairman of the town committee wil fix the dates for the various | local conventions.
 Last nights victory of the reor- ganization forces assures Attorney George J. Crocicchia of the sena- torial nomination in the 18th dis l trict. Major James W. Carroll, School Commissioner Vincent A. Miller and former Judge Harry J. Beardsley were being backed for nomination by the organization. None of the trio has a chance of getting the nomination now. Will liam L. Cambigue, who recently announced his candidacy for the senatorial nomination in the 18th, withdrew his name last night upon learning of the reorganization forces victory. It is possible that he will reconsider and consent to run in the democratic stronghold, the 18th.
 Representatives in Doubt l No names have been mentioned as yet for the two nominations for representative. There is reluc- tance on the part of republicans to run this year in view of the fact that democratic majority is conceded in Waterbury.
 By gaining control of the town committee, the reorganization forces will be obliged to assume the heavy deficit now being car- ried by the Waterbury g. o. p. or ganization. It is likely that drive will be instituted shortly to wipe out this deficit.
 In all there are 5,400 names on the local republican primary list, The fact that almost 50 per cent | of the registered republicans turned out for last nights pri- maries was considered note worthy. Bunker Hill republicans were responsible for the reorgani- zation victory in the third ward while the boulevard was credited with the second ward victory of the reorganizationists. The fourth ward victory, sort of unexpected. was not attributed to any one cause

crat, saying he would use firmly | entrenched organization for new purposes. He was read out of the socialist party.
 He advanced his so-called "EPIC" (End Poverty in Califor- nia) plan and formally filed as a candidate for the democratic nom- ination for governor.
 The EPIC plan came into a field which had just been vacated by technocracy. Southern California for a short time had gone heavily technocrat. I had found the phil osophy of Howard Scott, wanting and abandoned it. It was search ing for something new. Tho EPIC plan" was it.
 The plan embodies a scheme for the state to take over bankrupt industries and finance their opera ton by the unemployed. It also calls for old age pensions and a system of taxation under which idle land and non-productive capi- tai would bear a heavier burden. It would involve the complete eco- homie reorganization of the state,
 People, particularly in Southern California, flocked to the idea. Sim clair began campaigning. A mag netic personality with a dramatic delivery and talking 0 language easily understood, he drew crowds while other candidates found their meetings rather lonesome. Toward the end he charged admission to his rallies and people paid it. It helped finance his campaign.
 Old line democracy could not agree upon candidate or a method to defeat him.
 Sinclair maintains that he has abandoned socialism and pledges his loyalty to the new deal, indi- eating his theories merely will ex- tend the policies of the national administration.
 Merriam, Sinclair's opponent in the November general election is a veteran republican leader with long service in the legislature pre- ceding his election as lieutenant governor in 1903. He succeeded to the governorship recently upon the death of James Rolph.

live up to their campaign pledge, next years caucuses of the reput- lican party will no doubt be inter- esting and hectic ones. because it is believed that the organization group, who will then be 'irregu- ars", will flood the various ward caucuses in an effort to gain con- trol of the conventions which will set up the ticket for the next municipal election.
 The belief of Registrar of Voters Dillane is slated for the discard is not founded on fact for the organ ization forces will be able to have say in the makeup of the vari- ous ward tickets and still, possi- bly. control the question of who will and who won't run.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-29

The reorganization forces de- feated the organization 1,2Sl to 974 in the city as whole. How ever. the control of the town com mittee and the various conventions depended on the wards carried by the reorganizationists. The latter group carried the three important 2. o. D. wards, the second, third and fourth, lost the fifth by but a small margin and were far behind in the first ward. The majorities in the second, third and fourth wards piled up by the reorganiza- ton group, which from now on will be known as the organization group, were safe ones.
 Reorganizers Surprised
 When the primaries opened the reorga ganizationists were confident of carrying the second and third wards. It was there that they cen tered their activities. The fact that they carried the fourth ward was a surprise to them and caused no small amount of elation when the results were announced.
 There are 40 votes on the g. o. p, town committee, distributed as fol lows: ElrSt WdTu, D. seCoHu' o' third, 1O; fourth. 6; fifth, 10. By carrying the second, third and fourth wards, the congratulations gained control of "A votes on the town committee, leaving only l6 te the organization forces.
 The reorganization group carried | the second ward, 344 to 217. This | ward includes Waterville. which gave the reorganization group 5t as against 45 for the "Tegulars' The third ward was carried by the i reorganizationists 377 to 150. The fourth ward vote was close, the reorganization carrying the ward 85 to 66.
 DilIane's Ward Won
 In the first ward the organiza- tion won a decisive victory. the vote being 253 for the regulars to 164 for the reorganization group. The fifth ward showed a close vote. The organization won 2SS to 261.
 This latter ward is the one in which Registrar of Voters Thomas F. Dillane lives. He was made one of the targets" in the campaign of the reorganization. However

outside of the fact that the reor- ganization group had better sys- tenn. of getting out the vote there than the "regulars' had. In all the wards the congratulations ap- peared to have better working staffs. To James A. White goes much of the credit for the sys- tenn used in the primaries by the reorganizationists. He directed the makeup and checking system of the victorious faction.
 Open Party Caucauses
 The reorganization forces ran on platform calling for open party caucuses. This fact was the subject of much discussion among the beaten organization leaders to- day. If the reorganization forces

Vets Ahead


 Columbia, s. C., Aug. 29-(UP) -Wets took a slight lead today in South Carolina's liquod referendum | while Olin D. Johnston maintained his lead over the veteran Cole L.. Blease for the democratic Guber- material Nomination,
 The vote from 965 precincts out of the states 1,474 gave 77.316 to the vets against 75,926 for the drys. All through the night the forces had been running neck and neck as Tuesdays votes were counted.
 The vote is simply an advisory one to the legislators who may or may not decide to liberalize the states liquor laws. In November, South Carolina voted against na- tional prohibition repeal by a 5000 majority.
 Reports from 1,1GO precints gave 71,640 votes to Johnston, 5S,667 to Blcase and 33,761 to Wyndham Manning, of Sumter. This would throw Johnston and Blease in a run off primary Sept. Il.
 Johnston was defeated for Gov ernor four years ago when lbra c. | Blackwood was elected. Blease has served twice as governor and is a former United States Senator. Victory for New Deal
 Los Angeles, Aug 29. (UP)-Up- ton Sinclair, one-time socialist, to- day considered his apparent nomi- nation as the democratic guberna- torial candidate in California a "victory for the new deal"
 Ut means not merely that the people of California are going to have their share of the new deal, but that they are going to bring the state into line for the national new deal and end the absurd sit- uation in which the funds of the new deal are given to the state and used by a reactionary administra- ton in an effort to wreck the new deal" Sinclair's statement said.
 We have been nominated as democrats and we intend to func- tion as democrats and to apply the principles of democracy to indus try.
 "A million and a quarter per sons are dependent upon public charity in California. We intend to put these persons at productive labor. make them self-supporting, take them uff the hacks of the tax payers and stop the process of driving our state into bankruptcy. There is nothing revolutionary about this proposal and the entire nation will be doing 1t before the end of the year."

MISSISSIPPI RETURNS

Jackson, Miss, Aug 29.-(UP)- Hubert D. Stephens, conservative democratic incumbent, and Theo- dore c. Bilbo. who promises to "out Huey Huey Long" if elected, were running neck and neck for the democratic senatorial nomina. tion today on the basis of partial returns from yesterdays primary,
 Stephens held a small lead that was being steadily cut down by re- turns from the hill and rural dis tricts where Bilbo support Is strongest a "run-off" election will be necessary as it was considered impossible for either to receive a majority.
 The democratic nomination in Mississippi is tantamount to elec- ton.

 3. Issuance of script by which the unemployed may exchange manufactured articles and agricul- tural produce.

 5. Abolition of two and one half per cent state sales tax.
 6. Graduated tax on income beginning at $5,00O. A state in heritance tax.
 Sinclairs majority was so large that political observers thought he had an excellent chance of de- feating Frank I. Merriam, repub- lican incumbent, in the Novem- Der election, but, assuming he would have to work with hostile legislature, they saw little chance of his economic program being en- acted into law.

There are some complaints that

NRA LAUNCHES
PRICE CONTROL
FOR CONSUMER
Groups Representing Buying
Public Organized in
200 Counties.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer.

WASHINGTON, April 2O-The
new consumer councils, it developed
today, are being set up as a sort of
loud-speaker system SO Mr.. and
Mrs. Citizen can be heard in Wash
ington, where official ears have been
especially turned heretofore to
ca oh the outcries of capital and
labor
Between the demands Of these two
comes, of course. the humble con-
sumner whose plight has been seri-
ously in mind, but about which
relatively little has been done to
date.
So, under the guidance Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, consumer councils
are being set up IN 200 counties
this is just to start the operation
to provide those who buy with a
channel to Washington Along this
channel, Washington hopes to hear
from consumers as to whether they
think prices are too high.
This set-up has the additional,
actually the fundamental, purpose
of making NRA work.

Frederick Howe, Mrs. Mary Rum

up over the country under executive

about fair competition" in selling

Consumers are a new part n

1t is our hope that there will be
gradual shift of emphasis, by which
people will think of themselves as

Self-regulation and censorship of

by the film industry July Is, JOS
eph I. Breen, assistant to Wills
Hays, president of the Motion Pic
ture Producers and Distributors of
America, Inc, announced today
following his appointment as NRA
code administrator to pass on all

The action marks the first step
of the industry toward internal

Objectionable films began growing
late last spring.
Producers and distributors be-
longing to the organization reached
an agreement in a meeting at New
York which gave Breen the neces-
sary power to clean up the films,
he revealed.
When the pact takes effect next
week, all producers must get a GER
tificate from Breen approving each
film release If the films are re-
jected the producers may appeal to
the association s board of directors,
under the plan.
