 The threat of infection to Maria apparently had been nullified by the glass covering Dr. Del Castillo fash toned for the exposed heart. It was replaced temporarily by celluloid covering for the recording of its action on movie film.
 The baby's father, Arturo Rafael, 31, a government employe, indig- nantly spurned all commercial of- fers. He refused one $10,000 offer of local sports promoters for the priv ileue of exhibiting the baby at the New York Worlds fair.
 The child continued to be nour- ished with third of an ounce of mothers milk from medicine drop per at regular intervals.

 Maria's temperature today was normal, her respiration A minute and her pulse 124 beats a minute. Dr. Del Castillo barred all visitors except relatives and Mayor Juan Posadas, who calls several times daily. Mayor Posadas has agreed to pay all medical bills for the mother and child.
 The Manila Herald in an editorial entitled Maria Corazon teaches lesson" today deplored efforts to commercialize the child. "Yet if the baby could be brought to the at tention of the Rockefeller Founda- tions-an arrangement which seems to be possible-she might not only derive gain but also have longer life. Under the direction of Dr. Alexis Carrel of the foundation, who is famed for his experiments in in- definitely keeping various animal and human organs alive in an arti- ficial media, packing or chamber for Maria's heart might be devised"

 OPENS UP AGAIN

Woburn, Mass, Aug. 10.-UP)- Mayor William E Cage 'Em) Kane said today that the fire insurance companies could have as a gift:
 1.-Woburn's three fire stations.
 2.-All the city's fire apparatus.
 3.-All 2l firemen, including his brother Fire Chief Michael J, Kane.
 Let the fire insurance companies operate the Woburn fire department from now on," said the mayor. "They may as well, because the principal function of the department already is to prevent losses to the insurance companies.
 "The fire insurance companies virtually dictate how the department shall operate, how it shall be staffed and so forth. Let them take up the burden of maintenance. It will save by children near the Milford Water company's Jumping station close to the woods.

Any one of several factors could change this great deal but that's the chance we have to take. So, good weather or bad, heavy vote or light vote, our guess is Scully by $500 or whereabouts.
 We expect that either MT. Sculy himself or Town Clerk Mary c, Xiii martin will be the heaviest vot&-get- ter for the Democrats.
 On the Republican side, the heav- jest vote will be garnered either by Anthony Petrillo candidate for tax collector, or Homer Bernier, candi- date for city clerk, with John Stokes as another leader.
 Going out on the limb still fur ther, it's our hunch that the losing Republican candidate for the board of aldermen will be either Francis T. Phillips or James Aber- crombie, and the losing Republi- can candidate for the board of ed- ucation either Harold Parkinson or John J. Kearney.
 The leading vote getter for the Socialist party will be Attorney Frederic C. Smedley, candidate for controller.
 The Independent Democratic ticket, identical with the regular, Democratic ticket, will receive light vote. perhaps about 1900, which will be figured as part of the regular Democratic total.
 In the hectic election of two years ago, the Democrats received 19,l2G votes. The Republican candidates polled 14,399 votes, plus 4,670 Inde- pendent Democratic votes, giving 6 total of 1869. Neither side expects to poll that many votes this year.
 The Socialist vote Is the hardest Co figure. Several Republican lead- ers, now on the "outs" with the or- ganization, insist that the Socialists will run ahead of the G. o. P. The sentiment heard, however, indicates that such will not be the case, but nevertheless the Socialist vote should be heavy.
 The Democrats, with a primary list in excess of 10000, have a basic vote of at least 12,0OO or 13,00O and perhaps the figure should be even higher. Most of the Independent Democrats of two years ago are back with the party, and the Democrats should gain number of Italian votes, thanks to resentment at the treatment given Mayor Patrick M. Perriello. An- other factor is the lack of enthus- iasm for the Foster candidacy in sections that are normally strong Iy Republican.
 There is a chance that tomorrow may bring about a result like the unexpected outcome in l93S, when the Socialist state ticket swept Wa. terbury. None of the political dope aters had that one figured out. Bul the fires of revolt against the two major parties that were blazing then seem to have died down a great deal

Radio Speaker Claims Tax payers Betrayed By
 Democrats

Representation given various ra- cial groups on the Republican ticket was praised by six c. o. P. speakers in radio program yesterday. The speakers were Harold V. Boyce, Ru- dolph Hennick, Anthony Lazdaus- was, Gennaro Pelosi, Marcel Ulatow- ski, and Anthony Klapatsky.
 MT. Boyce declared that the Democratic machine" has betrayed the members of the party and the taxpayers of the city. Recent Demo- cratic administrations, he said, "are not typical of the Democratic party or its principles
 MT Lazdauskas praised John w. Stokes and William Kolbeck, Lithu- anian candidates on the Republican ticket.
 Mir. Klapatsky asserted that Charles c. Foster lis no puppet of any political machine" and owes no political debts
 MT. Pelosi declared that the Re- publican party represents the many, the Democratic party the few.
 MT. Ulatowski claimed that its a civic duty to vote for the c. O. P, candidates.

Editor of the Democrat:

Editor of the Democrat:
 This being the last opportunity that I will have to express my opinions, relative to politics in Wa terbury, before the election on to- morrow, I wish to do it in the form of advice and also warning to the twenty odd thousands of Democrats in Waterbury. Your party has presented ticket for you to vote into office tomorrow which would be credit to any city in the United States and de- serves your undivided support. Your party's choice to head your ticket Vincent A. Scully has taken the unethical abusive, unforgiv- able, malicious, islander and insin- nations from the leaders and can- didates of the Republican party like the soldier that he is, without once resorting to the mud-sling- ing tactics of his opponents. His gentlemanliness has been the big gest factor in the Democratic campaign and the descent, intelli- gent element of the Republican party are not only in sympathy with him but are working untir- ingly to put him and his entire ticket into office with so large a majority that, the small selfish, power seeking, job hungry clique controlling the Republican party at the present time will be so hu- initiated that they will either re- sign from politics or else make themselves conspicuous by their silence.
 Seeks Vindication
 If Republicans who have rubbed elbows with this clique openly re- pudiate them and offer their sup port to your ticket unsolicited and without offers of rewards believe you as Democrats should do every- thing in your power to make the majority for Vincent A. Scully and his ticket so large that the decent Republicans will feel vindicated in their stand of refusing to support a hand picked ticket forced on them not by the Republican party but by small clique who would use any method whether it be ethical or otherwise to tempt you to vote their ticket.
 Let us here and now review this clique's method of campaigning intending to draw Democratic votes over to the Republican side of the ledger (And believe me as a Republican it has been the ear- nest endeavor of this group to be able to find a man who could draw away from the Democratic party enough votes so as they could win an election. They readily admit they are in the minority and have to depend on Democratic votes to win.)
 Mud-slinging against the Demo- cratic candidates, unwarranted and malicious which would be done by them to any one of you should you have been a candidate simply because you are a Demo- crat.

place them all at that. They would revert to the old double cross that attempts to gain your favor but I they are so capable of.
 As a closing remark let me state that the battle cry of the cliques Republican ticket is: It's pretty near time some of us got jobs on the city, the Democrats had 1t long enough. The most of them are ifl-

My honest opinion is that they in- tended to place another man be- fore you Hllo refused because he would not be a party to the blas- phemous campaign used against Vincent A.

 Mouthpieces
 Mention continuously in their mouthpieces the Waterbury Re- publican and Waterbury American the name of a man now deceased, Sherwood L. Rowland who after his induction into the office of Comptroller two years ago, was os- tricized by this same group be- cause he would not listen to their dictators. Passing on the laurels of a dead man to their candidate for mayor.
 Advertisements in the newspa- pers that Foster was hired by Rowland and fired by Hayes. The first part of that may be true but I have been informed that a local man of the cloth had a lot to do with him receiving his appoint fnent and not his merits. The lat ter part of the advertisement is not true
 Marty Sweeney fired him not Hayes. Anyway who cares who hired Foster or fired him. Att tempts in the press to make you believe their ticket is the choice of the people which is untrue Their ticket is the choice of Dicta- tor Bill Pape presented to Edgar Bergen-J. Warren Upson, who presented 1t to delegate to the convention Charlie Mccarthy Finton Cuddy who nominated all names at the city convention Duplicate Charlie McCarthys nom- mated the other candidates at the other conventions.
 Charles Posters promises of im- provements in all parts of Water bury, new school gym here and removal of trolley tracks there, new streets and etc. It sounds like a mother promising her little boy a bag of candy if he will take his G stor oil.

 The meeting. which was attended by members of ttree normally Re- publican groups. was addressed by Vincent A. Scully and other Demo- cratic candidates. The nominees also spoke at five other meetings and rallies.
 The Liberty hall rally was spon- sored by the Italian American Civic club, the Italian American Citizens club and the Italian American Polit- ical club MT. DePastino and Attor- ney Carmine Cipriano were co-chair- men.
 Personal Abuse
 MT. Scully declared aS the rallies that the Republican spokesmen had been able to find no faults in his record and had hence descended to mud -slinging" and personal abuse. These tactics. he said, were hound- ing back at tke Republicans.
 The Lithuanian Democratic club held a rall.' at 48 Green street last night, with a large crowd attending. John w. BeHdler was chairman.
 The Italian Democratic club held a rally at Moose hall, with Alderman Charles P, Sciullo as chairman.
 The Polish remocratic club held a largely-atterdcd gathering at Pulaski hall, with John T. Sterling as chairman, and several Russian organizations sponsored rally at Turn hall, with John Kopcha as chairman. Meetings were also held at 53 Fern street and l004 Chase parkway.

 Attorney Humbert Mangini said that the Democratic candidates were natives of the city and well-ac- quainted with its problems.
 Attorney Perry Graicerstein. can- didate sr the board of education, declared that the Republicans had sought in vain to find something wrong ir MT. Scully's record.
 At each of the rallies, the Demo- cratic ticket was praised for the rep resantation given the various racial groups in the city.
 Other rally speakers were Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin, Joseph M. Shea, candidate for city clerk; Thomas M. Conlon, candidate for controller; Clayton Briotti, candi- date for city sheriff; Mrs. Anna Hadder. Aleck w. Koskey, Joseph Alishausky, Alrert Rice and others. Vote Republican-2nd Lever-Adv.
