 The Married Women's Bowling League played their opening games of the season at the newly reno- vated bowling alleys at Washington Park Community House last eve, ming.
 Mrs. Caroline Darling, being new conner to this league, certainly did herself proud with a high single score of 109.
 Mrs. Marion Heady, had a high three score 276. The players showed great enthusiasm-and some of the spectators had the thought in mind that "a new broom sweeps clean"- thinking of course of the nice new alleys and pins-not forgetting the new neon lights.
 The rest of the scores were as follows: Spruces 3, Hemlocks 0; Naples 1, Cedars 2.
 The people on "The Hill'' are cer- tainly realizing that their Alderman Burton Walker had their welfare in mind when he was plugging the game to have the new Baldwin street bridge made reality instead of something to Hook forward to-" The way traffic is tied up at noon hour and at 5 p. m. at ''Scovills Bridge - both pedestrians and drivers alike are feeling the need of something to relieve the congestion at this point.
 Under the present conditions is it surprising that some serious acci- dent hasn't occurred judging from the remarks of one pedestrian who found it difficult to get across the street at the bridge, where so many cars were stalle and help up in traffic. No doubt the bridge will be considerably weakened before the streets are closed up again and the water mains finished.

 FASCIST SUPPORT
Great Majority of Italian Residents Loyal to U. s.
 Declares Historian

Most American citizens of Italian origin have been completely assimi- lated by their American environ ment, according to Historian Gae- 'tano Salvemini, but five per cent of the Italian-American residents of the United States are out-and-out FaSciStS.
 In a study of Italian Fascist ac- tivities issued by the American Council on Public Affairs, Professor Salvemini states that around the five per cent Fascist nucleus clusters about 35 per cent of that people with mentality that has not yet clearly become Fascist and anti. democratic but which might crystal ize at the first emergency"
 The study states that most Italian Americans have been completely as- simulated by their American envir- onment, adding that the majority O. Italians of recent immigration are too concerned with earning their liv- ing to bother about the politics of the United States or any other country.
 These Italians would not be dan- gerous if they were let alone, pr. Salvemini states, but they have not
 been let alone. The pamphlet asserts that that the Staffs of the Italian
 embassy and consulates have grown buster each year with their propa-
 ganda, activities, bombarding Ital- ians with a continuous barrage of
 radio, newspaper, and educational propaganda.
 Famous liberal and noted foe Of Mussolini, Professor Calvemini as-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-18

serts that most of the Italian lang uage radio programs are seasoned with Fascist plugs" and that 1t k virtually impossible to secure time on these stations to present dif- ferent viewpoint. Only 10 per cent of the Italian-American population is avowedly anti-Fascist, the pro- lessor states.
 Dr. Salvenmini asserts that 'Ita- Han speaking Catholic priests with rare exceptions are carriers of Fas- cist propaganda in the United States.
 In the event of persecution, the author believes, the victims would not be the small band of Fascists but the mass of innocent men ano women whose only guilt lies in bear ing an Italian name.

men who are known and re- spected in the labor movement not Willkie clubs"
 PRO-WILLKIE
 Hutcheson really meant what he said in declaring himself strong for Willkie personally. This was shown forcibly at a closed-door session of the AFL executive coun- cil, of which he is a big-gun mem Der.
 The board met to pass on a pamphlet presenting the labor records of rival candidates. As submitted by AFL President Bill Green, the document indirectly en- dorsed Roosevelt by presenting a very laudatory account of his labor record and only quoting some excerpts from Willkle's speeches. Published in this form, there would have been no doubt in the mind of the reader as to which side the AFL favored.
 Hutchesen hotly objected. "The AFL is supposed to be nOn-parti- san," he snapped. 'I insist that there also be inserted Willkie's labor record as head of Common wealth and Southern"
 But he hasn't got labor record" demurred Green. "The most we can do is to quote from his speeches on his promises to labor. We don't know to what extent he was responsible for the union contracts signed by subsidiaries of Commonwealth and Southern, because he had nothing to do with their man agement."
 But Hutcheson was not to bt put off. and in the end he haC his way. Included in the repor was list of c. & s operating companies that have signed uniol agreements.
