 Will Not Be Frightened By "BOgey Man.

John J. Driscoll, secretary of the Connecticut CIO Council and cam- paign manager for William J. Stan ton in the 18th district primary. de- clared that Mayor Vincent A. Scul- ly Heads with his chin when he speaks of domination "The people know," said MT. Driscoll, that the candidates he endorses are hand picked by a chosen few"
 The CIO leader called on work Ing people of the city to support Mir Stanton in the 18th district and At :orney John F. Tobin in the 16th district.
 MT. DriscolPs statement follows:
 The ill-tempered statements of Mir. Scully during the past several lays are the words of a politician desperate at the prospect of losing some of his power. In losing his temper, MT. Scully has at long last made open declarations of his op- position to organized labor, thereby confirming suspicious that have been long held in many minds.
 The men and women of the labor movement in Waterbury do not take kindly to intidimation, whether they are in the CIO or the AFL and MT. Scully will find that out. The tens of thousands of workers, or ganized and unorganized, who have benefited by pay raises resulting from the CLOS efforts are not go- Ing to be frightened by any last minute bogeyman introduced by the mayor.
 Mayor Scully has sought to make me an issue in this campaign, but the people have seen through this know that the issue in both the 18th and 18th districts is simply one of whether an anti-labor stand by the dominant organization clique is to be endorsed. To make 1t very plain to Mayor Scully, let me state that we are for Bill Stanton in the 18th district against an avowed anti-la- bor candidate, and that in the 16th district we are behind John F. To- bin, who has endorsed the CIO leg islatlve program.
 The mayor leads with his chin when he speaks of domination" He knows that the people know that the candidates he endorses are handpicked by a chosen few. He has even been unwilling to let them speak for themselves; he has had to do is for them. It is indeed ludicrous to see a political leader railing against the CIO with his lips, while his hands are helping pull the strings for his Charlie McCarthy's.
 It is time that the mask of snug righteousness was stripped from the the City Hall. The mayor has, inad- vertently done it himself, and the demonstration of the truth has been most convincing. From now on, the people of Waterbury can know the city administration for what it is.
 The candidates that the labor movement has endorsed have the courage to speak for themselves. MT. Stanton and MT. Tobin have oqered | a specific platform of legislation to benefit all of us who work for liv- ing. MT. Blansfleld and MT. Wallace have offered nothing; their only clairu to support is the old cry of "votc regular"
 Our endorsement of MT. Stanton and Mir. Tobin were voted in open, democratic meetings The Democra- tic town committees endorsement of Messrs. Blansfleld and Wallace came 8 day and half AFTER MT. Scully, announcing pontif1cally that, speaking for the organization" he was giving his blessing to the pair.
 The curtain at last is down. The Democratic voters know now that they must make choice between having Democratic party of their
