Written Record Kept Of Circumstances OF Arrest Of
Alleged intoxicated Driver-Court Manifests
y Interest; Hearing to Be Resumed Tomorrow

Ion, and Sergt. Charles McWeeney
and Motor Patrolmen John Murphy
and Raymond Grady of the Water
bury police. The case was contin-
ued, after lengthy hearing, to al
low the defense to present mis-
sing witness tomorrow.
Six drivers paid total of $45 for
nolles of the charges against them,
while three received nolles without
payment. The court granted con-
tinuances in % cases.
Trooper Conlon testified that
Pecka had been driving his car in
a zig-zag fashion, that his face was
flushed, his eyes were red, his
breath smelled of liquor, he APP
peared drowsy, he staggered, he was
boisterous and he was in a fighting
mood. Pecka, he said, refused to
make several tests, including pick
ing up coin from the ground while
standing with his heels together
and putting his forefinger to his
nose while his eyes we're closed.
Written Record
The observations made on his
written report by Trooper Conlon

complete than those taken by Wa
terbury police in similar cases.
Judge Mascolo questioned the troop
r in regard to the nervous reac-
lions of drivers submitted to the
tests.
Trooper Conlon said he made the
arrest after observing the cratic
course pursued by Pecka's car on
the Wolcott road, and after Pecka
had refused to halt on signal. The
Waterbury policemen all testified
that Pecka was under the influence.
John Calvin and Edward Cronin,
both of Williams street, testified for
the defense. They said Pecka had
had only two beers before his ar
rest and was not under the influ-
ence of liquor. Pecka likewise de-
MED under the influence. The
days continuance was given at the
request of Attorney Frederick Bau-
by, who said an important witness
had not appeared.
A continuance to Thursday was
given after the state had completed
its case against Clyde Stewart, 81,
of Short street, Oakville, charged
with operating under the influence
He was arrested Aug. 81 after an
accident at South Main and Union
streets. Sergt. Joseph Bagley, and

fluence at the time of his arrest.

Hewes Accuses Danaher Of
Copying Ideas; Spirited
Campaign Looms

Hartford, Conn.,. Sept. 49, (UP)-
With their major ticket places
filled. Connecticut's political parties
today opened seven-weeks cleo
ton drive which many observers
expect will eliminate in a close
November vote.
Republicans, their ticket headed
by young men," hailed new era"
in the party and pledged themselves
to promote recovery at all costs.
They prepared, also, to charge
Democrats with corruption in office.
Democrats, meantime, presented
the electorate with a conservative
ticket headed by 76-year-old Gov.
Wilbur L. Cross. They mininized
the threat of bolt from the ticket
by New Dealers disappointed at
failure to get recognition from par
ty leaders.
The dark horse" candidate was
Socialist Jasper McLevy, Bridgeport
mayor running for governor for the
seventh time. Observers believed
McLeyy would receive a heavy vote
in the election, perhaps $4,000 or
more.
If he does, it will seriously upset
calculations of major party leaders
and may result in Republican
victory.
Col. Thomas Hewes, Pennington,
Democratic candidate for lieuten-
ant-governor, opened the assault on
the G.. o. P, by charging they
took over" his labor ideas and in
corporated them in their platform.
"Our party this week." Hewes
said, "has been flattered beyond our
fondest hope because the Republic
can leaders of Connecticut, have
practically copied our platform and
espoused our liberalism.
"They are beating their chests
once more and proclaiming that
they alone are true liberals and
that we are but tinsel.

DAVIS MISSES HALL OF FAME
 BY SINGLE HIT
Pitcher Sent to Cards For Dizzy Dean Blanks
 Pirates
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Corresponds


 New York, Aug. 25.-(UP)-Maybe the Chicago Cubs would have been better off if they let St. Louis keep Dizzy Dean.
 The Cubs shelled out $185, GOO and three players-pitchers Curt Davis and Clyde Shoun and Outfielder Tuck Stainback-for Dizzy. He has scrambled and picked his spots to win six games this season against one defeat. Davis, big right-hander who will be 32 in September, has won 10 and last 6. Shoun's record isn't so bril- liant-he's won three and lost five, but has functioned notably as a re- lief hurler on several occasions. With a team like the Cubs behind them, their records would have been better had they stayed in Chicago. Davis almost entered baseball'S Hal lof Fame yesterday. He pitched a one-hit game against the Brook lyn Dodgers and if it hadn't been for Ernie Koy's bunt in the second and a walk he gave Lavagetto in the fifth, he would have turned in a perfect ball-game. The Cards won, so.
 Roy, fleet runner, beat out a bunt after Davis had pitched a per- feet first inning. The next nine men after Roy went down in order. Then came Lavagetto's walk and after that, first base remained untenant- ed-13 up and 13 down.
 Giants Skid Again
 The National league leading Pitts burg Pirates increased their lead over the second-place New York Giants to six games. They whipped Boston 6-2, while the Cubs walloped the Giants 6-1. Vance Page, a rookie. let the New Workers down with four hits.
 Cincinnati, in third place, drew to within half game of the Giants with 3-1 victory over the Phillies. Manager Bill McKechnie was fined $50 for alleged abusive language toward Umpire George Barr at St.
