Politics
In
Passing

waterbury members Of the DEM
ucratic state Central Committee are
wondering whether or not there was
an intentional slight in the remarks
Of exc Governor Robert A. Hur-
Icy ct q meeting Of the committee
held at Savin Rock Thursday night.
The former governor was called on
to introduce Gov. j. Howard Nc
Crath Of Rhode Island as the prin-
cipal speaker. In the course Of his
Introductory he stressed the need Of
dropping q defeatist attitude and
concentrating on winning as many
town and city elections this fall as
possible. Speaking of the city cleo
lions he specifically cited the neces-
sity Of winning in Hartford, New
Haven, Bridgeport, and New Brit
ain. While Waterbury's representa-
tives waited for mentoin of the
Brass City and perhaps of the adj
lninistration victory iE the primary
last week Mr.. Hurley kept right
along and skipped the valley COM
pletely. Slight or no slight 1t
ranked the committeeman and
women; the Hurley Waterbury diff
ference of opinion would seem to
exist still.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-25

the Germans were suffering heavy
casualties but, probably due to the
tremendous Allied air umbrella and
artillery onslaught, our losses were
believed to be comparatively light.
All prisoners taken were Germans.
"a London broadcast said that
NaN Marshal Albert Kesselring had
been compelled to withdraw some
troops from the Salerno front to
suppress disorders behind the Ger
man lines. An NBC broadcast from
Allie HEADQUARTERS said that news
was expected at any time that the
Fifth Army had broken through
the hills north Of Salerno and
reached the Naples Plain.)
It was believed that-when the
break through comes at Cava Di
Tirreni-the Germans elready will
have made q lightning withdrawal
from the Sorrento Peninsula, just
across the Gulf from Naples, to es-
cape being trapped by the drive
through the base of the peninsula.
Eye-witnesses said that the battle
north Of Salerno reached unprece-
dented intensity because the Allies
had moved in q huge mass of ar
tillery and more is constantly COM
ing up to blase the GermanS out
of the narrow defiles they hold.
ReinfOrcements
The reinforcements including all
types of guns, but many were new
ly-arrived self-propelled American
and British types just out Of the
factories of the United States.
In addition to the terrible de-
vastation caused by Allied aerial and
artillery bombardment extending
throughout the Naples sector, the
Germans still were destroying the
great port Of Naples at q rapid pace.
Cholera and famine were reported
adding to the terrors Of the besieged
and devastated city.
Allied pilots said they believed
that the fires burning on a huge
scale in Naples meant that the Ger
mans would abandon the city with
out q real fight as soon as the AL
lied offensive breaks through from
the Salerno sector.
No Opposition
Allied air fleets, meeting no oppo-
sition, bombed and machinegunned
enemy columns throughout the Ma
piles area and destroyed key COM
munication points at Pisa, Grot-
taminardo, Maddaloni and else
where.
More than 200 Nad vehicles were
strafed around Naples and Aversa.
The air force, however. was strik-
ing some Of Its hardest blows against
the Germans trapped in Corsica and
trying to escape by air and small
boats from Bastia, at the northeast
ern corner of the island.
(The London Radio, recorded by
CHS, said American Rangers had
landed on the beaches near Bastia
in an effort to close in on the flee
ing Germans)
The Germans were taking out key
personnel by air, 1t was believed,
and attempting to evacuate as many
troops as possible in barges, land
ing craft, ferries and small boats.
Raj Beaufighters shot down 10
big air transports (Which carry
probably so or go persons each) and
damaged &c Others. This made a
/ total u 20 ar transports shot down
IN two days.

Continued from Page y
and WPA. It Is alleged the city was
negligent for allowing use Of a lad
der which had a defective rung.
Judge Booth returned a Judgment

Ian Of waterbury, has filed an ap-
peal from Judge John H. Cornell's

The suit was based upon an I'M
usual accident which occurred
March /, 1941 on West Main street
near Gilbert street. Mr.. Doolan had
alighted from bus and was cross
ing the street when he fell on ice.
The complaint states that two cars
turned off the road to avoid strik-
ing the man but q third car, that
driven by Harold Werner, of Water
bury, defendant in the suit, struck
him and inflicted injuries which re-
suited in death II days later. Dam
ages Of $4,000 were sought.
A defendants appeal has been
filed In the action brought by Jake
Zimmerman, an employe of the A,
M. Larson Co., against MacDermid
Inc. Judge william H. Comley last
April 2 awarded the man damages
of $809.38 and set $253.62 as the sum
to be paid to his employer as a re-
turn for compensation payments

right foot when he stepped in a piei
of corrosive chemicals at the de-
fendant concerns premises while
unloading metal barrels.

defendant in a civil action brought
by Margaret D. Quigley of Middle
bury has filed an appeal from the
decision which ruled the plaintiff is
is entitled to possession Of Prospect
premises occupied by the defendant.
The decision was handed down by
Judge Frank p. McEvoy April n.
The plaintiff claimed she bought
the premises from the executors OF
the estate Of the late William A.
Sleeves, but that the defendant, a
daughter of Mr.. Sleeves, refused to
vacate them. Mrs. Stanton claimed
she had made improvements costing
$4,000 to the premises after her
father had entered an agreement to
convey the property to her II she
made the improvements. Tie action
Is another that has not been print

Considerable speculation was
raised among State Central Com
imittee members as to the reasons
why Mr.. Hurley went overheard
III showering praise on Mayor
John w. Murphy Of New Haven,
who was hailed as the greatest
Democratic mayor in Connecticut.
Particular notice was paid to his
fiscal record, as well as to the
fact that he Is now campaigning
for reelection. There were some
members unkind enough to say
that the going was tough in New
Haven this year and that DEM
ocrats down there wanted all the
assistance they could get, hence
the governors glowing endorse
ment Of Mayor Murphy.

The Monagan administration con-
tinues to pile up records Of its
ability every day in every way. For
many months past the mayor has
been concerned over the utilization
Of surplus funds. He doesn't SUBJ
scribe to the theory that such funds
should be continually used to aid in
financing the budget or to make re-
auctions In the tax rate possible.
From the very outset this year he
has conferred with Controller Neil
Maloney and Budget Director T. E.
Olsen on the use of such funds for
other purposes than the above. FL
nally the Legislature made 1t posi-
BILE for him to see way Of achiev-
ing his objective. And now the
Board of Finance has taken the first
step towards creation Of postwar
fund into which surplus funds will
60. Investment Of some Of this fund
In government obligations was q
natural follow-up since we are at
the moment in the midst of the
Third War Loan drive and the OUT
look in Connecticut for meeting our
quota is gloomy. Incidentally the
City of New Haven has just invested
sos, 600 in U. s. Treasury Certifi-
Gates: Waterbury will probably fol-
low suit shortly.

To the contrary Mayor Mona
gan has let IL be known that he
does not plan q purge in the
ranks Of organization Democrats
as . result Of the recent primary.
He dlsclalms responsibility for the
release Of Mario "Jiggers" Palla-
dino as assistant dog warden earl.
Ter this week. BE that as It may,
you can rest assured that there
win be plenty Of undercOver ef-
forts on the part Of organization
Democrats to remove from their
midst some Of those who crossed
the dividing line last week. AS q
matter Of fact some party leaders
confidently expect that they won't
have to do anything other than re-
ceive designations from boards,
Town Committee, etc. This Is wish
full thinking; It requires more than
that to procure the desired action.

AS q result Of the showing made
by the administration forces in the
Fourth and Fifth Wards last Friday
senatorial candidates. are already
blossOming. It can be taken for
granted that former Senator Joseph
Lawlor will be receptive to a call to
do battle for the nomination. He
was in the Monagan camp last week
and did good work down in District
A. And it's intimated, too, that Al
derman Martin j. Sullivan, who Ia
bored well and efficiently for the adj
ministration in District Sd, has
some aspirations towards the Legis-
lation With respect to this ambition,
true or not, it might be said that
there probably will arise next year
the igure of Rep. Daniel j. Mahan-
Ell, the city's veteran legislator who
wants nothing more today than a
chance to round out his colorful ca
seer at Hartford with term or two
nB the Senate. In Brooklyn this week
DAN" really packed wallop and
O. may be that his services will be
recognized and he will get the nod
next year for administration sup
port for senator in the 10th.
