 LEADING CHOICE
Elliott Roosevelt Believes Vice=President's Chance
 for Nomination Good

Fort Worth, Texas, March 21.- (UP)-Elliott Roosevelt, second son of President Roosevelt, said today that Vice President John Nance Garner, as leader of the conserva- tive wing of the Democratic party, was presently the most likely can didate 10 head his party ticket in 194O.
 Roosevelt, who only yesterday had described himself as the Presidents $ "severest friendly critic" said in a broadcast over his Texas state net work that John Garner is in the drivers seat right now, well in the lead as likely Democratic can- didate for the presidency in the 1940 elections"
 Garner, he said, was "by all signs and portents" the leader of the con- servative branch of the party.
 There is little room for doubt that MT Garner and the President of the United States have travelled separate roads since the winter of 1937," he said.
 Reports have it that the vice president became SO, incensed over the administrations handling of the sit-down strike situation that he quit Washington and returned to Uvalde for six months vacation. Since his return, his opinions have been at variance with the Presi- dents as to the path being taken by the Democratic party

ITALIAN ENVOY MISSES HITLER

Berlin, March 21-CUP) Diplo- matic quarters showed interest in an apparently correct report that Bernardo Attolico, Italian ambassa- dor, was not at the railroad station Sunday night to welcome Adolf Hitler on his return from his tour of Czech areas.
 A radio announcer, broadcasting station scenes, had even said that Hitler and Attolico shook hands. and added:
 we know how much lies behind this handshake."
 It was asserted today that Attoli- co was present, and Italian quar- ters pointed out that he was not present when Hitler returned from his Austrian and Sudetenland triumphal tours.
 No actual invitations were issued for diplomats to be at the station Sunday, but the absence of an en- voy of Germany's Axis" partner caused speculation in diplomatic quarters whether there was cool ness between Hitler and Benito MusSolini.

BY THE OUT EASTER

Out Easters continue to. die, just like people do in other sections of the city, but somehow out here we seem to feel the effect rather seriously when some of our good type of citizens pass away.
 Take the case of Dennis J. Wrenn of 24 Laurel street, who died recently. There was a man who was highly thought of by the people of the eastern section of the city, and by many others, too. For years he had been a faithful and trusted employe of the great Scovill Mfg. company, a man de- voted to the interests of his en1- ployers, and one who wanted to perform the duties imposed upon him to thu satisfaction and well fare of those over him. His asso- ciates in the factory always said a good word about MT. Wrenn. They couldn't do otherwise. His record would not permit of anything else being said about him. MT. ,Wrenn was the type of man who lived life that meant good for all. His disposition was that of the kind-hearted, with never a word of ill-will toward a soul. Day in and day out, found him steadily employed, and right on the dot at the allotted hour. We always try to speak of men as fellow em- ployes find them. Every person who worked along with MT. Wrenn had 8 good word for him at all times.
 In our day, we knew MT. Wrenn, not intimately, that is true, but we met him long enough to study and observe his ways. We were im- pressed with him at the very out- set. His every act, so far as we were able to judge, was that of the good citizen. A fine home man, a good living man, a good church goer, and a clean talker, comprised the general makeup of this man, who responded to the call of death at a time when he was really entitled to live longer to enjoy the fruits of his laborS while in life.
 Respect and admiration for the man were in our mind every time we had occasion to meet him. In an innocent game of cards, he was a jovial person, and made good company.
 He is bound to be missed for the good he was to the commit nity.

 Today the department comment ing on the II per cent increase in accidents remarked, "The decrease in fatalities is the only bright spot of the report, the decrease of UT child pedestrians killed being very encouraging. If we are to do even as well for 1899 as last year it will be necessary to increase our traffic accident prevention activities all along the line. Certainly not single feature of last years program can be eliminated"
 Waterbury has had but one auto fatality in nearly three months, the last fatal accident occurring in Wa terville on Monday evening, March 9th when James P. Healey, World War veteran was struck by a car driven by J. Cleman Malia, 24, of Boyden street, Waterville. The lat ter is at present a coroner's pris- oner on his own recognizance.

person; whatever he was inter- ested in he made a deep study of, and knew the real inside of every undertaking.
 Of late years he failed in health, and it began to make itself ap- parent to old friends who had not seen him in some years. But his mind was just as keen as ever; 8 fluent talker and debater, he kept himself posted on up to date world affairs, and could discuss questions of this sort with the best informed on such subjects.
 Peter Murphy's life in his early days was devoted entirely to the theatrical business. He knew much about the stage and its peo- pie, and met personally many of the we'll known stars in a day when the old Poli theater brought many of them to Waterbury.
 It seems strange he was taken away at an age that ought to mean many more years of life.
 He was bright and clever, and as we have said. a speaker of some note whenever he was called upon to address a meeting or conven- tion.

Naugatuck Volleyballers Third In Meet

Naugatuck, March 21-The Naug- atuck "" volley ball team turned in one of its most noteworthy achtev- ments over the past weekend when 1t finished third in net tourney at Camden, N. J., in which the cream of the volley ball teams in the East participated. The strong North Phil adelphia won the tourney and Man. chester, Conn.,, finished second with Naugatuck taking third place.
 Two factors made the work Of the local aggregation particularly re- markable. One was the fact that Naugatuck had the smallest squad of players of any of the 12 teams competing. only six, just the num- Der required for a full team, making the trip. Some other teams had squads of IA players available. The second factor was that the teams the tourney might be compared Ill class to the major leagues in pro- fessional baseball. Each opponent was a dangerous foe and that the two Connecticut teams were ranked second and third when the tourney ended indicated the respective abil- ity of the combines from this state
 Beat Washington
 Naugatuck met Washington in Its first match and although the team representing the .lation's capital was a pre-tourney favorite to reach the finals, the local combine won two straight games and the match from the Washington team.
 Naugatuck soon after faced the crack North Philly outfit. rated among the best in the country, and lost two straight but hard-fought matches. After two hours rest, the locals came back to take two straight games from Philadelphia Central and with only IS minutes rest, next defeated the Wilkes-Bar- re, Pa, team in two straight games.
 Little Rest
 Naugatuck IS minutes later had to play Manchester which had a longer period between games, and the tired six-man team could not quite cope with the larger squad from the Silk City, losing two out of three games.
 Six states were represented in the tourney. The teams finished in the following order: North Philadelphia. Manchester, Naugatuck. Wilkes Barre, Philadelphia Central, Wash- ington, D. O., Germantown, Pa, Richmond, Va, West Side, N. Y. Harrisburg, Pa. Camden, N. J. and Wilmington, Del.
 All members of the local team. Fred Baker, George Halloway. Carl Hassell, Fred Ashmore. Joe Smith and Joe Valinches, turned in fine performances and the other teams were surprised at the standard of the local play. with such small squad. The Washington players highly lauded the Naugatuck team and predicted that if Naugatuck gets two-more first class players, or one unit, it would undoubtedly rank close to tops in the East.
 Although Mapchester trimmed Naugatuck Saturday, the locals have taken over the Manchester team often in the New England net League of which both combines ate members.

PETER MURPHY

And there is the case of Peter Murphy, buried during the early part of the week. His sickness, in the first place was a surprise to many people, and then again his death came rather suddenly to those who had known and had contact with him during his many years of residence out here.
 Peter was a well read young man. Of late years he had been employed by the city in various capacities, first with the health bureau, and later with the welfare department. But before his entry into city business, he was for years manager of the old Garden motion picture theater on East Main street before the introduce tion of talking movies. and at a time when the Garden was one of the best patronized movie houses in the city. We were better acquainted with Peter in those days than we happened to be in after years. His start out in life was in the theater, and he had the acquaintanceship of almost every person in the city identified with the theatrical game.
 And as a member of Waterbury Lodge of Elks in the old days he was rather prominent, and most active. It was Peter who supplied most of the talent for the various entertainments given by the club years ago. The ritual of the order he knew as well, if not better, than some of those who occupied chairs. He was that kind of .

POPE PLUS WILL

Vatican City, March 21-(UP)- Vatican officials expressed doubt to- day that Pope Plus would take the initiative in any move toward ale viating European political tension.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury, speaking in the British house of lords yesterday, urged him to rally all Christendom against Nazi ag- gression in central Europe.
 It was said that considerable sat- isfaction was felt here with the
