vention reportedly controlled by Re- publican Registrar of Voters Albert Taller and Republican Town Com mittee Chairman J. Warren Upson. The latter, at the last town commit tee meeting, accepted all responsi- bility for the new plan which goes into effect at the next election of the town committeeman (headed for primary f1ghts), chairman and off, cers of the Republican party, but it is apparent that the present mem- bers of the town committee disbe- lieve that the responsibility is all his.
 UpsOn Was Accused
 Some of the committee members even went as far at the last meeting as to openly accuse Upson of shield ing the name of the originator of the new plan, which they feel is a detriment to the party. Some of the committee members feel that Upson was governed by the suggestions of Registrar of Voters Taller.
 It will be recalled that at the last town convention to nominate candi- dates for the Republican ticket l93D, Taller came dangerously close to losing the nomination-his majority being but the vote of one delegate. Republican voters at the present time feel that the new plan --whic hgoes into effect despite the objections of the majority-tends to give control of the party to an in- dividual or small group of individ- ualS.
 Taller May Be Creator
 The sentiment at the present time is not is that Taller, knowing the city the Republican primary lists as he does, concocted this plan for his own benefit to safeguard his job as Republican registrar of voters.
 AS one prominent Republican states 1t, "The hard part to swallow for the members of the Republican town committee who are on the anxious seat as to whether they will be renominated, is the fact that J. Warren Upson, whom they elected as town chairman, openly states that he is responsible for the new plan which automatically fires them from the town committee which they served so well for so many years"

Italian Americans of Waterbury paid tribute to the late Gabrielle .D'Annunzio, poet and patriot, at a memorial program last night at sWilby high school auditorium. The program was arranged by a number of Italian American organizations and attended by large crowd.
 D'Annunzio's accomplis h m n S were cited in the principal address of the evening, given by James Nor scaldi of New Haven. He eulogized sD'AnnunZio not oply as the author of many beautiful works of litera-
 ture but as patriot and fighter ns well.
 ss National Commander John De- Sastino of the Italian American World War Veterans declared that all those of Italian descent should join in mourning not only D'Annun- %io but all Italian war dead. Those of Italian blood, he said, have req

John Buckley, Union, members of the committee.
 Baldwin Said:
 T do not want the nomination on the Republican ticket for any office unless the Republican party can show courage enough to remove from it's council those men whose activ- ities have been subject to grand jury investigation both in Water bury and Fairfield county"
 Pryor Said:
 T am not in favor of any charges being made against anyone, but l feel these accusations are of such serious nature that the men involved in each party should step aside pending the outcome of the final hearing. allowing the people of each party to present candidates and leadership whose conduct and char acter cannot be questioned"
 Bradley Said:
 Those holding office in the Re- publican party who have been ar rested or publicly criticized by the grand jury should immediately re- sign their posts"
 Willard was criticized by the Bridgeport g-and jury which inves- tigated alleged exorbitant prices paid for rights-of way for the $2O,- 100000 Merritt Parkway. William son and Buckley, both high in par ty inner circles, were named in the Waterbury jury's report. William son is under arrest on a charge of conspiracy.
 Committeeman Pryor spoke at a Fairfield Republican club gathering, along wit,, Sen. Bradley. Baldwin issued his comment in the form of a statement.
 Time For Action
 "NoW is the time for action," said Bradley.
 Tt isn't question of being gull ty" he continued, but of shoulder ing the burden rather than passing it off on their party. These men, by their own act, can assume the burden that is rightfully theirs and leave the party free to go on as it should go on.
 We have nothing to fear. There is no millstone of private gain that can be tied around Republicans in the campaign this year, and the campaign is on already"
 Baldwin said he sought no nom- ination for any office. Talk per- sisted, however, of his possible nom- ination for governor and of John A. Danaher, former secretary of the state, for U. s. Senator.
 Other sources reported a boom was under way for William J. Pape, Waterbury publisher, for governor, and Hartford County States Attor- ney Hugh M. Alcorn, special prose- cutor in the Waterbury jury inves- tigation, for U. s. Senator.
 After Lavery's Seat
 At the same time, talk was heard that Sen. Bradley may seek the seat on the central committee now held by Albert E. Lavery, Fairfield, from the 25th district. Bradley, al- though aligned with Pryor and State Chairman Benjamin E. Har- wood, Chester, in present direction of party affairs, holds no official position.
 The Fairfield County Republican organization meets June 6. The policy committee of the group now is preparing, it was understood, a report urging the custer of the three men named in the jury reports.
 Action also may be recommended against Harry Mackenzie. Bethel, leading csunty leader under arrest at Waterbury on a conspiracy count He may be deposed from his posi- tion of power, it was said.

among diplomatic observers was how
the non-Sudetens would react to any
attempt by the government to make
sweeping concessions.
As far as can be judged by an out
slider the attitude of the Czech citi-
zenry seems to be that the republic
has demonstrated its willingness to
fight for its existence and can count
on the great democracies-France and
Britain-to help it against an in

France Ready to Aid Cxechs.
France's former Premier Pierre
Flandin said In speech at Vienne,
France, last night. that the Dala-

order mobilization to aid Czecho-
slovakia If she were invaded by
Germany. He warned that the
danger of war was increasing in
Europe and urged members of the
democratic Alliance party to op-
pose war unless France herself
were attacked.
His speech brought an imme-
diate reply froc, Pierre Cot, radical
Socialist, former air minister, who
told the National Congress of Re-
