 1940 BuiIdup
 The plan of the New Dealers, of course, is preliminary to the import ant issue for them of building up for the 1940 battle when it will be determined how far the machine of eight years of substantial patronage has superseded the Democratic party as permanent instrument. To this end the fall campaign will be under anxious scrutiny in all points of the country with current legislation talk ing basic part in a general attempt to eliminate those more powerful senators, representatives and even governors who have not proved at all times satisfactory to the admin istration.
 It is particularly significant, ob- servers commented, that the New Dealers have not, as yet, built any of their known adherents to a poli- tical stature which might start the wheels for presidential boom soon after the next general elections. Naturally, with this prospect a matter of concern for some senators, a few and several governors whose showing must be adequate to give them the requisite prestige, the fall to those candidates expecting to trade on the rise or fall of the New elections assume unusual importance Deal in the next two years.
 States Man
 That Senator Lonergan is un- touched by any of this manipulation of future policies and will doubtless, stand for reelection on his record both under the New Deal and long before, is seen as major reason why he can expect and obtain bet ter tha naverage support from the party in this state. His reputation of being a states man, in sense of the phrase, keeps him clear of the usual entanglements which beset the novice at Washington and is expect ed to result in a reiteration of the voters support for a veteran who serves as his direct constituency di- rects.

Crowds thronged the office of Tax Collector William A. Ennis today making their payments of the May installment of taxes due by the end of this month.
 While no exact figure was possi- ble during the rush today, it was estimated that more than $500, ,000 has been paid up until this morn- ing. Todays figure may reach the $1OO,0O0 mark, it was estimated, which would be the largest of any single day since payments started the first of the month.
 The tax collector urged all who possibly can to get in this after noon or early tomorrow because Monday will be holiday and Tues day will be the last day possible for payment of the installment without penalty.

Political Obseruers Predict
 Election OF Senator Lonergan
Find No Evidence of Senti- ment Here for New Deal
 FavOrite"

Plans of President Roosevelt and his left wing" staff to eliminate conservative Democrats such as Senator Augustine Lonergan, oi Hartford, when the New Deal band wagon is embellished with campaign oratory this fall will meet with cer- tain failure, was a general concensus of political views in Waterbury to- day.
 While definite reports came from the Capitol that the New Dealers plan purge" of the Congress tc re-make it's personnel more nearly in the likeness of the idea -men, 1t was remarked that no such move ment would be likely to attain pro- portion in New England. And par ticularly, it was remarked, the record of Senator Lonergan as an "inde- pendent, in the sense of his stand on many of the New Deals more controversial measures, would mili- tate for him here, rather than against.
 Far-Fetched
 That Senator Lonergan with his record of long service as repre- sentative at Washington before the New Deal era, might fall victim to New Deal support of such possibil- ities as Dr. Edward G. Dolan, Man. chester apostle of the national ad- m!nistration, or Francis Hogan, was considered far-fetched. In the in- stance of Dr. Dolan, there has been repercussion over his criticism of the Connecticut Congressman who sided against the New Deal when he spoke recently at Bridgeport before the Federation of Democratic Women's clubs. .,
 Leaders of the Democratic women have informed the Connecticut dele gation at Washington that they did not sanction the views of Dr. Dolan This sentiment has had widespread vogue through the state.
 In the instance of others seeking to play with the possibility that the President will send help for their campaigns in this state, there seems no probability that any particular sertngth would result, is the more prevalent view of observers. The sit uation in Connecticut does not par allel that which existed in Florida where the administration backed Pepper; or in Oregon, where support was provided lavishly for Hess against Martin.
 Boomerang
 There are no issues to be made ir this state which would present a substantial New Deal weapon against the senior Connecticut Sen ator. To the contrary, there arc many who believe the entry of tht administration as favoring candi- date against Senator Lonergar might very well be factor which could be used to his advantage.
 When the fall election roll. around in Connecticut there will bt enough of local and state issues SC that the voters most likely will wei come the opportunity to vote for the Hartford veteran whose independ- ence of domination by the New Deal
