Mayor of Stamford
 bury, having visited here several times to attend meetings of the Connecticut league of Municipal executives. He is president of the organization which, incidentally, was formed at the inStigation of Lieutenant Governor Hayes of this city.
 How things can change "over- night" was demonstrated at the convention. Phillips was formerly an ally of Paul R. Connery of N0rwalk. He was considered 8 member of the "old guard" group along with Mayor Hayes of Wa terbury. Last spring at the demo- cratic state convention Phillips worked against Connery and the local delegation when the busi- ness of endorsing a new national committeeman came up. Connery was defeated. Last night he chose to attempt to defeat Phillips but failed.
 Connery supported City Clerk Leroy D.. Downs of Norwalk for the congres sional nomination. Phillips walked away with the convention polling 172 votes to Downs IT.
 Former Purchasing Agent John w. Sheedy of New London, who has been appointed city manager of the Whaling City, has started revising the city's business meth OdS already. The democrats last week won the city election in New London. They lost no time in pushing Sheedy into the city managers post. Streamroller tac- tics were charged by the opposi- tion. Yet they say there's no politics on the city manager form of government.
 Congressman Herman P. Kop- plemann of Hartford is out to win, come what may. He has in- formed the Hartford N. U. S. J. that he has worked for all of the 16 points laid down by Father Coughlin, the radio priest. T know the needs of the poor," he stated. T started to work for my living when I was a small kid" Kop- plemann, a democrat, is a former Hartford newsboy.
 Efforts are being made to have Senator Anthony Wayne O'Con- nell of Norwich drop his plan to run for the upper house of the state legislature on an independ- ent ticket. The town committee refused to endorse him for re- nomination in the 18th district on the democratic ticket. Repre- sentative Victor F. F0ntaine, also of Norwich, one of the youngest members in the lower house last session, is favored for the nOm- inati0n. O'Connell is now judge of the Norwich police court He Is being promised the job of court clerk for the coming two years if he rrops his plan of running on

When Mayor Alfred N. Phillips, Jr., of Stamford does things he does them in a way that brings
 him statewide notice. Last nights fourth congressional district demo- cratic convention in Bridgeport was no exception. Phillips was nominated for Congress but not until the convention had so close ly approached a riot that police had to be called. The Stamford mayor is well known in Water

Political Gossip

OOSSGP .NNNNNNNNNNNNaANN ANNNNNNNNNSsNA an independent ticket. Such ac- ton would tend to throw the vic- tory in the 18th to the republi- cans, it is argued.
 Frank M. Lynch of New Haven, prominent in the Knights of Co., lumbus of the state, will be in charge of the foreign language division of the Connecticut repub- lican campaign committee. He is state auditor at the present time. As head of the foreign language division he will arrange g. O. p. rallies for people who speak fore- ign language division or, rather, who understand them, better than they do English.
 The democratic candidate for the senate in the 26th district is expected to be Henry Kelley of 2 New Canaan. He is nursery man. The democrats of the, dis trict are capitalizing on the fact that Kelley lives in the same town as State Representative Stanley P. Mead, who was re- fuser the g. o. p. senatorial nom- ination in the 26th. Senator Char les F. Rumf, g. o. p. incumbent, was renOminated.
 Efforts are being made to force Thomas Russell of West Hartford, N. U. s. J. chairman of the first congressional district, to resign. Father Coughlin has sent 8 letter to the Hartford N. U. s. J. mem- bers complaining of the conduct of some units and warning that disciplinary action will be taken unless reforms are made. Half the units in the area have made no reports to the radio priest since July.
 Latest reports are that ex-May- or Thomas A. Fully of New Hav- en has the inside track in the race for the republican nomination for Congress in the third district. Former Congressman att Large Charles M. BakewelI is reported to be in 8 receptive mood but Former Mayor Fully has strong backing. Fully is the head of one of New Haven's largest printing houses. The democratic incum- bent is Congressman James A. ShanIey of New Haven.
 Probate Judge William F. Man. gan of New Britain has been nominated by the democrats and endorsed by the republicans. He succeeded the late Judge Bernard F. Gaffney as head of the pro- bate court. In Bristol the demo- crats have renominated Judge William L. Cafferty. The republi- cans of the Bell City do not in- tend to endorse him, however, but will pit Attorney William DeRos- fer against him.
 The democrats of Danbury are claiming that 1t will require 3 republican majority of over $50 votes to elect Charles M. Hatch judges of the probate court of the Hat City. The incumbent is Judge Martin Cunningham, democrat. The republicans of Danbury are considering Mrs. Hazel Perkins for the nomination of representa- tive. At first Mrs. Perkins was after the probate court ncmina- ton.
 Final plans for the fourth an nual outing of the Young Demo- cratic Clubs of New Haven cour1- ty will be made Thursday at the Elton when the executive board and members of the general com- mittee convene. The outing will take place next Sunday at Han over Park in Meriden with U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney as the principal speaker. Joseph N. De- Paola, president of the Meriden Club, will preside.

Copyright 1856 By United PreSS) Loyalist Headquarters, Toledo Maqueda Front, Sept. 22.-(UP)- LOyalists, retreating village by vil- lage in face of rebel drive for To- Aedo and Madrid, fell back to new defense lines today while their ad- vanced units held positions 1-2 miles on the Madrid side of Ma queda.
 The country in the Maqueda- Santa Cruz Del Retamar Torrijos triangle is being evacuated and is tO become the no mans land, ap- parently, for the greatest battle of the civil war so far. I reached the front lines yesterday after the rebels took Maqueda. Before they took it their airplanes almost de- styoyed 1t. The loyalists' main body fell back on Quismondon, four miles from Maqueda, under rebel machine gun fire.
 Screaming Bombardment
 Rebels kept up a screaming artil- iery bombardment into the loyalist positions and their machine gunners kept loyalist planes away. I saw one loyalist plane make forced landing, it's motor put out of ac- ton by machine gun bullets. Later saw some militiamen of the main body retreating in trucks, with their supplies, toward Santa Cruz. Strik- ing down to Torrijos, g miles to- ward Toledo from Maqueda, found that all 1000 inhabitants had fled. 1n the whole village I saw only three storm guards and an ancient viIlager who was persistently pound- ing the keys of an automatic piano in the center of the main square under the impression that he was playing it.
 Villages Evacuated
 It was evident that rebel planes had bombarded the square. All villages on the loyaiist side of the front are being evacuated. Rickety eers. drawn by mules or donkeys, piled high with personal belongings end furniture. dot the roads to Ma eFid and Toledo. One villager
