 OPENS CAMP AICN
Advocates Opening of a Trade School Here; WaI=
 lace Chosen President

Senator Edward P. Egan promised his supporters a clean and vigorous campaign as he opened his drive last night for Democratic renomina- tion as state senator in the 18th district. Addressing a rally at his campaign headquarters, 552 Bald win street, Senator Egan declared that he would engage in no person. alitieS during the primary contest.
 "The voters know my record" said Senator Egan. T am willing to leave the decision in their hands"
 As part of his campaign platform, he said, he would advocate the open ing of a state trade school in Wa terbury. He said he understood that land for the school building was available if the state. should agree to establish trade institution here, and that perhaps private funds would also be pledged to help.
 Patrick Wallace was elected pres ident of the Egan-for- Senator club, and Mrs. Frank McGrath was named secretary. Chosen as mem- bers of the publicity committee were Mrs. McGrath, Victor Mambruno and Eleanor Kelly.
 The next meeting of Egan SUD- porters will be held Wednesday night.
