CommunityAmbulance To Be Hospitalized
Performance to Date Disappointing to City Officials,
 Police Department Inquiry Underway

1t returned to the Packard -Henney Go. in Boston for complete over hauling.
 Protests that the vehicle must have been involved in serious ac- cident before it was delivered to the police department late in March have reached the ears of the mem- bers of the police board. The fact that the ambulance was not pur- chased from the local Packard deal CT absolves him of responsibility for its failures.
 It is a matter of common know ledge that after practically every run the ambulance must be put in the garage for repairs.
 In at least two instances in re- cent weeks the ambulance has broken down--once while two patients were being taken to Middle town and once while it was enroute to Platts Mills to pick up boy who had Aeen injured in an automobile accident.
 Two members of the detective bureau spent weary two hours in Meriden with two mental patients recently when the ambulance broke down enroute to MiddletoWn.
 They had to sit right in the am- bulance on an extremely hot day to give proper attention to their pa tients while repairs were being made.
 Shortcomings of the vehicle have been kept in the background in the hope that arrangements would be made to place it in working condi- tion which would merit its use as an emergency vehicle.
 One veteran officer expressed the opinion that it would be better to take the ambulance out of service entirely and revert to use of the old patrol wagon rather than risk the unpleasant situation of having a break down while enroute to a hos pital with seriously injured per- son whose life or death might de- pend on immediate hospital atten- tion.
 The ambulance was purchased from the Packard Henney Company in Boston.
 Public subscriptions were taken among Waterburians to finance the cost of the vehicle.

Sheriff
 Slavin will probably come soon af- ter the date is set for the New Ha- ven county shrievalty convention. No dates for any Democratic conven- tions have yet been announced by the state central committee.
 The leading candidate for the Republican nomination for sheriff, is currently, Selectman Charles Schall of West Haven. However, a move is on foot to have MT. Schall nom- mated instead for Congress from the third district, to oppose Congress man James E. Shanley CD. In that case, the Waterbury Republican or ganization would probably claim the right to designate the candidate for sheriff.
 Sheriff Slavin has won public mo- tice far outside the county by his First Offenders club, with it's radio programs and moving pictures. He has long been an advocate of jail farm and, during the current man power shortage, he has allowed jail inmates to work on farms, in or chards and in the unloading of bargeS.

LUNDCREN MAY
 BE CANDIDATE
Foreman of Local Grand Jury May Seek AnsOnia
 MayOralty

The mayoralty campaign in An sonia this fall will be of great in terest to Waterburians, for the Re- publican candidate will, in all prob ability, will be Attorney Carl Lund- grcn, foreman of the special grand fury whose accusations brought on the local conspiracy trial.
 MT. Lundgren has expressed his willingness to run. Since he holds the post of town chairman, his nom- ination seems assured.
 The Democrats in Ansonia arc expected to nominate Mayor Andrew J. Nolan for a fourth term. The mayor is a seasoned campaigner.
 The grand jury may serve as an issue in the campaign, though per haps not openly.
 The grand jury has never been officially dismissed and MT. Lund- gren is still its chairman. At the 1941 session of the General Assem- bly,, first one held after the trial he was given appointment to a paid legislative post. At the end of the session he was appointed prosecu- tor of the Ansonia town court.
 Republicans claim that MT. Lund- gren will be a formidable candidate and has an excellent chance Of de- feating Mayor Nolan.

expected, will become associate di- rector of the new educational enter prise, and will be responsible for the recruiting of students for the University of Connecticut in Wa terbury.
 Health department workers have already begun pulling up ragweed in various parts of the city. Dr. God frey urges that the public do like wise.
 Rooting-up of the weed is the best means of eliminating or reducing cases of hayfever caused by it's pol- len, pr. Godfrey said. If anyone seeing ragweed pulls it up immedi- ately, he said. the toll of hayfever will be greatly cut down. Elimina- ton of ragweed should be easier this year, he believes, because 1t is not growing as profusely as usual.
 This years campaign for the el- animation of ragweed Is more impor- tant than ever because of the war" Dr. Godfrey declared. Tn some cases, hayfever caused by ragweed pollen Is so serious that people have to remain away from work This means many man-hours may be lost In war production unless our cam paign is successful"
 The pollen begins blowing free about the first of August, pr. God frey said, with the amount increas- ing daily. He hopes to have most ragweed in the city pulled up by Aug. 1, with Aug. 15 as the absolute deadline.
 Property owners. advises Dr. God frey, should pull up and burn any ragweed they find on their lard. Ragweed growing in vacant lots or in fields at the outskirts of the city should either be pulled Up and burn ed, or reported to the health depart ment.

TALBOT'S FRIENDS
 HINT DOUBLECROSS
Charge Congressman Was Given Assurance of Be-
 ing Nominated for Gov.

If friends and supporters of Con- gressman Joseph E. Talbot have their way, his name will be proposed for the Republican nomination foi governor at the state convention in Hartford in September. Though the Naugatuck attorney has announced that he will support ex-Gov. Ray mond F. Baldwin for the nomina- tion, only most urgent pleas by him will be able to keep his name from going to the floor.
 The Talbot packers blame State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley and others in the state party leadership for the admitted loss of prestige Suf- fered by MT. Talbot in recent weeks Their contention is that he had been informally assured that the organiz- ation would not oppose his bid fol the top place on the ticket and that Messrs. Bradley & co. prevailed on MT. Baldwin to announce his candi- dacy for & third time..
 In the Talbot camp, 1t Is claimed that when Congressman Talbot ac- cepted the nomination for congress prior to the special election last Jan uary he was given to understand that the nomination for governor would be his reward. The theory at the time was that acceptance of the congressional nomination was sac rifice, since the Democrats would win. However, MT. Talbot upset the dope by winning, his only aid con- ing from MT. Baldwin.
 Were MT. Baldwin not an an nounced candidate, observers believe that Congressman Talbot would will lingly enter an open battle with the state leadership. But MT. Baldwin and MT. Talbot are close friends, and MT. Talbot is still grateful for the aid the ex-governor gave him last January.
 There are mysterious rumors that Mfr. Baldwin may withdraw at the last minute. clearing the way fol MT. Talbot to run for governor, but there is nothing to indicate thai these are more than reflections oi wishful thinking by Talbot packers
 As a matter of fact, many Repub- licans believe that Congressman Tal- bot would be a stronger candidate for governor than MT. Baldwin. Ht led the state ticket when he ran fol state treasurer, and his victory 1T the special fifth district election up. set most of the prediction dope.
