LOCAL DEMOCRATS
 MEET FLANAGAN
National Committee Chair man Impresses Delega-
 ton; Two Conventions

Loacl Democratic party officials and representatives who attended yesterdays introductory sessions with Robert E. Hannegan honoring the newly chosen National Chair man returned home with high re- gardS for the apparent organiza- tional ability of the chairman.
 Local representatives and dele gates who met with Hannegan in- cluded Mayor John s. Monagan and J. Francis Smith both acting as proxies for Democratic town chair man Maurice F. Tangney and Mrs, Gertrude Gordon, respectively, as representatives of the 18th district; controller Neil F. Maloney and Mrs Winifred McDonald as representa- tives of the 18th district and Mrs Agnes Proulx acting as proxy for the representative from Middlebury
 The days events were considered as successful as 62 out of the 70 members of the party's state cen- tral committee met with the new chairman prior to a dinner held at the Hotel Bond ballroom at which approximately 400 were in attend ance.
 Some opposition was expressed to 8 plan adopted yesterday that two party conventions be held this year the first to elect delegates to the national convention, the latter tc be held in July, and the second to nominate for the state ticket. The motion was presented by State Sem ator Cornelius Mulville and was supported by party leaders such as John Golden, David Mccoy and State Chairman John M. Dove The latter. following adoption of the motion, together with other party officers was authorized to set the dates for town caucuseS and the two conventions. June was men, tioned as the possible time for the first convention.
 All slates of candidates for both parties must be filed with the Sec- retary of State Frances Burke Red- dick before August Is so that Suf. ficient copies bearing the names of these candidates may be forwarded in time to the cities and towns of Connecticut for insertion with all absentee ballots to be mailed out for the Fall elections. It is report ed that Mayor Monagan and Con. troller Maloney opposed the two convention ideas.
 Plans for a Jefferson day dinner for the 5th Congressional district and to be held here in Waterbury will not be held on April 10 as originally planned 1t was decided this morning by chairman for the dinner Controller Maloney. This de- cision came about as result of @ meeting called by Frank J. Madden general chairman for all Jefferson Day dinners following last nights dinner honoring Hannegan.
 Originally 1t was scheduled that each dinner, one for each of the states Congressional districts, would be held on April 10. However, in the case of the 5th district as well as others this was found to con- flct with the dinner to be held at that same time honoring Mrs. Nora Mahaney Harris, vice-chairman of the State Democratic Central Com- mittee and to be held in New Ha- ven.
 It was decided at last nights meeting to allow the chairman of each districts dinner to set the date for his district. MT. Maloney did not state this morning just when the dinner will be held here, but said that that he expected final plans would be underway in a day or so.

 The Marines went ashore in more than 100 landing craft while heavy naval and air forces stood by, Tre- maine said. There was no prelim- mary smelling or bombing of Emi. rau, however, since no opposition had been expected and the Americans did not want to injure the natives he added.
 The heavy fire from the U. s battleships knocked down nearly every building at Kavieng. he said A spokesman at MacArthur's headquarters said the dreadnaught: moved to within probably five mile: of the New Ireland bastion and sent shells into the town with deadly ac- curacy.
 A few shore batteries attempted to answer the fire, but were silenced and the battleShipS raked the tar gets at will. The spokesman said whole sections of the town went ur in smoke and estimated that the Japanese suffered considerable cas- ualtiee.
 It was the first time U. S. battle ships penetrated into the Bismarck sea and they carried out the as- signment without any interference from Japanese planes.
