ure In last Winters successful strike
parley with Gov. Frank Murphy and
Labor Leader John L. Lewis, came to
the United States from Denmark at
the age of 20, mechanic looking for
opportunities.
Born in Copenhagen March 25, 1879,
knudsen was interested in bicycles,
but after working in a shipbuilding
plant and railroad boiler shop finally
entered the infant automobile industry
and advanced swiftly with it.
He was factory manager for John
r. Kelm Mills In Buffalo, N. Y, when
the Ford Motor Co. purchased it in
1911. He leaped ahead in the Ford or
ganlzation, having charge of construc-
ton OF domestic and foreign assembly

Diesel and Frigidaire.
Two new vice presidents were
elected. They are Marvin E. Coyle

 Deal Made
 Thus is explained the cornbina- ton developed at the Republican primary last July when the Repub- 1ican town chairman pushed through a ticket identical with that of the Independent Democrats, with one exception, who met in an ad- jacent hall for their primary. The Ideal" which will see MT. Upson entrenched as candidate of the Fus- 1on ticket was consumated at that time, 1t was learned.
 4 look at the record of the elec- ton of 1886, which saw MT. Upson showed under by 13,593 Waterbury votes in his race against Congress man Smith, adds light to the politi- cal manipulations of the town chair mon. Brief summarizing of this record of recent events in his career would read; busted Palomba as town chairman about two years ago; diokexed with Independent Demo- crAts at about the time this group was formed to fight the Hayes ad- ministration; failed to reach an agreement with the aforementioned group before the 1885 local election.

A boy who evidently took advan- taee of an opening made by more successful thieves, and entered the office of the Naugatuck Valley Wholesale Grocery company on Sum day night, was arraigned in city court today on Q charge of theft Of soda. The boy, William Scalon, IS, of Bridge street was granted c con- tinuance of six months.
 Police believe that the place was first entered about 9 o'clock by thieves who took away Q l400 pound safe containing s26 in cash. Later in the evening they claim that the boy found the door open and went in, helping himself to soda while there. It was explained in court that the soda was worth less than Q dollar.

jor John M. Burrall, for mayor m 1895, who boiled about 15,000 votes, several hundred more than the Re- publican vote given Senator George T. Culhane, Independent Democrat, in the recent Fusion fight against the administration; saw possibili- ties of a larger Independent Demo- cratic vote this election, due to growth of disgruntlement as the administration added to its enemies in the fourth term by natural se- quence of political erosion; realized elimination of the Socialist vote, 1,181 in 1925, this year would add t othe more than 2,000 Independent Democratic poll of 1895.
 But the town chairman, keeping close counsel, could not let many old-line Republicans into his plan for amalgamation of all anti-Demo- cratic forces, regardless of what 1t meant to the Republican party of Waterbury. He felt that he didn't need to do this and the result of the present election is not even a temporary setback to his plans for next year.
 Setups Analysed
 Explanation of this is found in the set-up of the numerous towns and the rural vote in the Fifth Con- gregational District, even in the landslide" for Roosevelt, Republi- can. MT. Upson needed the 1nde- pendent Democratic vote, approxi- mately 4,600, in Waterbury, to conl- plete his scheme for the congress sional race in 1888. With 1t, he feels that he can win, counting, too, on the dereliction from the party now in power nationally to swell the Fifth District Republican vote.
 In 1886, MT. Upson boiled l0,605 votes in Waterbury, against 24,19S for Congressman Smith. Former Governor Alfred M. Landon polled 10,305 votes in Waterbury and lost the state by 103,574 votes. It is true that Smith won the district with about 65,000 votes to Upson's ap- proximate 5000, but the Water bury vote was the factor which would matter in another election, one without the same aspect as the reelection of President Roosevelt in 1886.
 ''Even Break"
 Thus, with more than 1o,00O Fusion votes in the recent dis puted election, and the Fusion to- tals more and less than those of the Democratic by only few votes, MT. Upson can "break even'' in Waterbury, always counting that the same vote will be available next year in generally similar pro- portion.
 Possibly his standing with the In- dependent Democrats has been irn- paired by the apparent cutting ot Senator Culhane by the Republi- cans, who gave the erstwhile Demo- crat only 14,399 votes by present figures, the observers remarked to- day. Nevertheless, the Fusion
