Fairfield Dog Show, June 18th
lSpeciaI tO The DemOcra {

Fairfield, June 9.-The Fairfield County Kennel club will stage its first dog show at the Longshore club, Westport, Sunday, June 1s and Is expected to hit a new war time high for first shows by a club, Entries for event are to be closed Monday at 6 p. m. and by that time it is expected that the pick of all local dogs as well as the ace cam paigners of the major show circuits will be on hand.
 The club has gathered together the finest judging slate available and has backed them up with one of the richest prize lists of recent years. In addition to the usual class cash prizes there are special awards that total in War Bonds and Stamps and cash more than 300 trophies.
 While the breed and obedience test judging will remain the major part of the show, the highlights will claim the attention of the spectators. International interest has been aroused by the news of the children's and junior handling class es for which more than 200 trophies or other prizes have been set up, The youngsters are judged on their ability to handle the show dogs and not on the breed qualifications of the dogs.
 The show will be the first to have on exhibition war dogs returned from active military duty on all fronts, some of them invalided home but able to get about. For those with a desire to see speed there will be racing of Whippets, some of them numbered among the fastest dogs in the country.

 CINCINNATI ACE
By GLEN PERKINS

(UnlUeQ Press SCau COrreSpOnQenCJ
 New York, June 9.-(UP)-For the first time since busy Dizzy Dean did it in 1884 for the St. Louis Cardinals, the majors were in good spot today to produce a 30 game winner, with Bucky Walters of the Cincinnati Reds pitching staff lead- ing the candidates.
 Walters, with nine victories in a little more than a fourth of the season, is the big winner in both circuits.
 In addition to Walters, there are more than a dozen pitchers with six or more victories who stand chance of hitting 25 or more tri- umphs. They include Truett (Rip) Sewell of the Pirates and Hal New houser of the Tigers with eight, Hank Borowy of the Yankees, Jack Kramer of the Browns and Paul (Diz) Trout of the Tigers with seven, and George Munger and Max Lanier of the Cards, Hal Gregg of the Dodgers, Jim Tobin of the Braves. Bill Voiselle of the Giants, Bill Dietrich of the White Sox and Mike Ryba and Tex Hughson of the Red Sox with six each,
 Lanier Lost
 Walters gained his latest victory over his favorite opponents, the otherwise difficult Cardinals, 9 to 1 at Cincinnati last night. He just missed shutting them out for the third time in a row, when they made their only run in the ninth. It was a hard loss for Lanier. who yielded only four hits. Both Red runs were unearned, coming in the sixth when George Fallon made two errors for the Cards.
 The Dodgers swapped spots with the Phillies at Brooklyn, defeating them in double header 6 to 3 and 8 to 1 to move from seventh to fifth. Four run rallies salted away both victories. the Dodgers coming from behind to win the first game in the eighth inning for relief pitcher Les Webber. Ed Head won the second game, holding the Phil lies to six hits. Augie Galan's hit ting streak was stepped at l9 games in the nighFcap.
 The Giants made 1t two straight over Boston at New York, 6 to 4, Voiselle winning fairly good duel from Tobin, with errors providing runs on both sides.
 The Cubs upset Pittsburgh with an eight run second inning ard coasted to 10 to victory Fly Vandenberg's shutout relief hurling from the sixth to the finish gave him the victory after Hank Wyse faltered.
 Tanks Lose g of II
 Roy Partee's ninth inning homer broke up the game and gave the Red SoX their second straight vic- tory, 8 to T, over the Yankees at Boston in a twilight billing. It was the ninth defeat in Il games for the Tanks.
 Washington pulled out of last place with a ' to victory over the Athletics at Philadelphia, achieved on George Myatt's triple with two men on in the 1lth in- ming.
 Cleveland won a night game at St. Louis to 3, handing Kramer his fifth defeat He has won only once in his last seven games after starting the season with five straight triumphs, The Indians scored thrice in the fifth, Manager Lou Boudreau, Mickey Rocco and Roy Cullenbine getting doubles.

SIat+ery Case Recalled

So we lost a first-class man -. another
man was put in the job and the chaos rolled on.
But there is still more to this story of two
or more men in one job
The White House caba had been trying to
get rid of Harry Slattery, the rural electrical
ton administrator, finally they offered to
create a new job for him, at the same salary
and at the taxpayers expense. He was asked
to undertake special study of rural electrical
ton, not in China, this time, but in war-torn
Europe in 1943.
But Mr. Slattery stuck to his job So the
secretary of agriculture appointed a deputy
administrator and gave orders to the entire
REA staff that henceforth they should all re-
port to the administrator through his deputy.
The deputy moved in and took charge, firing
people right and left. And just at the time
when the REA should be getting ready to do
a big postwar job providing electricity to farm
ers, it has been torn apart by conflict and con-
fusion between the usual two men in one job.
The White House spreads confusion from
the cabinet level up. And the secretary of
agriculture spreads confusion from the cabinet
level down. That's why we need responsible
cabinet in this country. That's why It's time
for change.
Il am resisting the temptation to talk at
length about these things. Time does not
permit discussion of what happened to support
prices in the hog market and the egg market
during the past year.

The other night in st. Louis told about
an executive order in which my opponent on
April II, 1943 dealt with the powers of his
new war food administrator whom he had
appointed to take over the job of the secretary
of agriculture in handling our critical food
situation Referring to both of them, he de-
clared, they shall each have authority to
exercise any and all Of the powers vested in
the other by statute or otherwise"
There it is in his own words-two men
in one job.
Now, my opponent has complained that I
did not tell the whole story about that execu-
tive order | am happy to accept the invita-
ton. Here's the rest of it.
That executive order created the usual
conflicts. Within two months that war food
administrator Mr. Chester Davis, resigned, he
was drafted to do big job and then pre-
vented from doing it Here is what he said:
