WiIIimantic leaders of the N. U. s. J. have announced that they will not interest themselves in the biennial town election next month as far as putting up candi- dates against the republican and democratic nominees is concerned. They have also voted not to take any official part in the state elec- ton on behalf of the N. U. s. J., but to interest themselves actively only in the national candidates.
 The Middlesex County Republi- can Club has completed plans for its annual campaign dinner. The event will take place at Camp Wopowag, East Hampton, on Sat- urday the 26th. It is planned to have the entire republican state
 ticket, which will be chosen to- morrow in Hartford, attend the session. The dinner will officially set off the g.o.p. campaign in Middlesex county.
 The race for the nomination of senator in the 30th district among the democrats is getting hot. Senator Francis w. Hogan, democratic incumbent, is not seek ing renomination. The leaders in the race to succeed him to the nomination are Representative Anthony w. Telesca of TOrrington and First Selectman Richard L. Calder of New Hartford. Telesca is city clerk of Torrington.. It is claimed he has the inside track. Democratic State Controller Charles c. Swartz of NorwaIk has 8 job that the Connecticut Poles would like to capture. The State Federation of Polish Clubs and the state Pulaski Organiza- tions believe that the time has come for them to strike out for

STAFF TO INDEX
 TOWNS RECORDS
Records of Assessors Of- flee in WatertOwn to Be
 Arranged By WPA

The present files of assessors rec ords of building developments in the town of Watertown, which through the years had become cluttered up by numerous additional insertions, will be simplified and indexed in proper working order by WPA work CTS on project receiving Washing tons approval for starting, accord ing to an announcement made to- day by State Works Progress Ad- ministrator Robert A. Hurley.
 The project specifications call for rewriting and properly indexing and refiling of all assessors records. In the past it had been the custom to place more than one item on sim gle card, making eventually for con- fusion. The total cost of the rr- dertaking, which will give employ ment to two persons, is $1,625. It is one of a group of nine similarly named for starting throughout the state.
 Although no definite date for be- ginning work on the project has been set, according to State Admin istrator Hurley the job will get un- derway as soon as other undertak- ings now in progress are completed and the required relief personnel to staff the new program made available.

rietor of the farm for giving the use of the farm free of charge. He as- sured the group that all who have worked to make the Pontelandolfo Society outstanding need not regret.
 He stated that while the society is made up of men and women who are descendants or bound by mar riage to descendants of Pontelan- dolfo, Italy, the society does not exist for selfish purposes, but will continue to work for the welfare of all Italians in general. He rejected the inferences, that politics are played in the Pontelandolfo Society or the Federation by pointing out, that men and women of all religious and political creeds belong to the Pontelandolfo Society and are res- pected equally. He reaffirmed the society's commitment to the pro- gram of the Italian Federation, of which the Pontelandolfo Society is a charter unit. He thanked all who helped make the activities of the so- ciety successful.
 Society Praised
 John De Pastino, who is also an honorary member of the society in. troduced Umberto Santopietro after congratulating the committee for it's splendid work. He lauded the spirit of the society and tlayed certain regional groups formed for the schemes of individuals.
 He thanked the group for sup- porting the federation's administra- ton and assured them that while the Federation has surpassed every expectation, it would continue to be more useful as time passes.
 Others present were: MT. and Mrs. Edmond Santopietro, MT. and Mrs. John Sforza, MT. and Mrs. Peter De Leo, MT. and Mrs. Louis Rinaldi, MT. and Mrs. Filomeno Rinaldi, MT. and Mrs. Peter De Cicco, Frank Marucci, Mir. and Mrs. Amadeo Barbieri, MT.

The committee that sponsored the annual outing of the Pontelandolfo Society at Lakewood Park on July 26, held an outing of its own at the Burville Dairy Farm in Torrington yesterday. Besides the members of the committee there were other offi- cers and members of the society and of the Italian Federation.
 The various games played, were Softball, bocce, racing and norra. The most interesting game was the Bocce match between John De Pas- tino and Unberto Santopietro pres ident and secretary respectively of the Italian Federation and presi- dents of the Italian Brotherhood and Pontelandolfo Societies.
 Dancing Enjoyed
 Dinner and supper was prepared by the committee from the Pontel- Rndolfo Society,s Women's Auxiliary. Dancing followed the outdoor festiv- Eies, with Edmondo Santopietro and John Efroza furnishing the music.

 and Representative William J. Thornton. In other years g.o.p. primaries in the towns have been fairly formal matters. Shea is well known locally as state deputy of the Knights of Columbus.
 Tn the 32nd senatorial district there is three-cornered fight on for the senatorial nomination. Watertown's old war horse", Sen- ator William c. Hungerford, is be- ing opposed for the first time. His opponents are Representative Will liam M. Curtis of Bridgewater add Representative Clarence E. Trow- bridge of Roxbury. In other parts of the state other battles that are unusual within the g.o.p. ranks are being waged much to the discom- fort of the party solons who are praying for 8 united front this year more than ever.
 Incidentally, Governor Cross Is the first governor since the Civil War to seek a fourth term in Connecticut. He is now busy making up his platform. While there is a resolutions committee 1t is conceded that the platform will be mostly of the governors own making.
 States Attorney General Ed ward J. Daly is expected to place the name of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross in nomination at the dem- ocratic state convention at Eastern Point Thursday. In the past this task has fallen to Judge Kenneth Wynne of the superior court bench while he was executive secretary to Governor Cross. As he is now on the bench this task must be performed by someone else and Daly is said to be the man picked.
 The leaders of the movement point out that they have nothing personal against Swartz. With a strong political coalition between the Poles and Italians, Polish leaders are not anxious to contest the secretary of stateship held by Dr. c. John Satti of New Lon- don. Also mentioned for the con- trollership in Andrew Korona of Enfield, recognized Polish demo- cratic power in northern Connecti- cut. However, Koski seems to have the most supporters.
 Auditors who went over the books of Fairfield county re- ported gross waste of public funds. They said that even caviar was served on the high sheriff's table and that a bill for embrOidering the sheriff's initials on his paja- mas was chalked up to the county.
 Age doesn't mean 8 thing when you have your eye set on political post in the opinion of Hubert c. Hart of Unionville. Only 93 years of age MT. Hart is seeking the re- publican nomination for represen- tative in his town. He is retired manufacturer and cast his first vote in the presidential election that Abraham Lincoln won. Some members of his family have ad- vised him to drop his quest for the nomination, but he has refused to do so.
