The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-25

question his intent to pc Q cnndl- date again.
 But, the greatest indication of all came this week when Baldwin came out flatly against the 1solationists in hls party, In Q Greenwich speech he said:
 "There are two sides to every political question, and there's 8 fence. Let's get off the fence. I can't believe in the policy of Isola- ton. That is not the traditional Republican policy"
 This move into the open by q responsible Connecticut party lea der can moan two things to state Republicans:
 l. Former Gov. Baldwin and his party associates, State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley and former National Committeeman Samuel Y. Pryor, Jro are definitely in the Wendell Willkie camp as regards the international position of the Republican party. It means, fur- ther, that Willkie Is likely to come into Connecticut next year and speak In support of Baldwin's Fe- election aS governor,
 Willkie recently announced he would enter those states where Re- publican candidates are not Isola- tloniSts, but would not speak In favor of candidates who are 1solationists --only those who favor e strong In- ternatlonal policy,
 3. A break with the Isolationists group in the state headed by U. s. Sen. John A. Danaher, one of the strong 1solationlSt Republican sen- ators.
 Thus, 1t appears the lines are being drawn in Connecticut, as well as in the nation, for e free- for-all fight for control of the Republican party between Isolatlonists and non. ISolationists.
 A group of Ridgefleld Republicans In . recent caucus-reportS said 800 were there adopted reso- lutlon eondemnlng Sen. Danaher's 1s0latiOnlst stand.
 In the meantime, State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Dana her has come out In full backing of the position taken by his son, John, In the U. $. Senate. The elder Danaher bitterly assailed what he termed were "eff0rts" being made to drive "a cleavage In the Danaher family"
 "The Danaher family" he told this correspondent, stands 100 per cent united"
 Governor Hurley, meanwhile, day after day is reiterat!ng in his speeches the need for American unity and for support of President RooSevelt's foreign policy. Former Governor Baldwin's definite state- ment also in support of MT. Roose- Velts position may eliminate na- tional foreign policy as a major is- sue in the state campaign next year.
 Can Baldwin win over most of the Republican party in Connecticut to his foreign policy stand? Or will the Danaher influence prevailP That Is a thing the party itself will have to decide.
 There Is . strong rumor in the state Capitol that one of the state commissioners is so incensed at a Connecticut political writer (not this one) that he has ordered all his subOrdinates not to talk to him on the telephone.
 And, In addition, he has ordered that if Subordlnates find 1t neces- sary to talk to him, that secre- taries be placed on another teIe- phone to take down In shorthand the text of the conversation.
 The break came over an inter- pretive story.
 Administration Democrats are en- thusiastic about the way in which State Milk Control Administrator Donald O. Hammerberg is handling the touchy milk situation.
 One of the party leaders said he was confident that, within a few weeks, the prize of milk will be re- duced to the consumer, as promised by Gov. Hurley in his campaign.
 Hammerberg now has issued three milk orders setting up marketing areas in Connecticut. Under terms of the law, court suits cannot up- hold administration of the act dur ing litigation. The price structure set up by Hammerberg to govern farmer income, therefore, will not be disturbed unless a court takes final action either for or against the new milk control law, which takes effect Oct. 1.
 There are . few bold Republi- cans whR <predict that Attorney ThomasD FitxSimmons will defeat Mayor John w. Murphy. five-term Democrat. in the New Haven eIec- ti0n two months hence.
 But there are other more sober minded individuals who say Mur- phy probably will speak thro. for his sixth term despite Fitx- Gfrnasann,R mnmnrln mfex Ege~Causa
