DANAHER OPPOSED
 BY LOCAL GROUP
United Nations AssOcia. ton Enters Ring Against
 q. 0. P. Nominee

By vote of ib.i2 the Waterbury United Nations Association last night adopted Q resolution opposing the reelection Of U. 8. Senator John 4. Danaher (R). The resolu. ton. which was not significant oi unanimity by the entire association --32 out of 50 remaining for the resolution voting and five Of the Ss refusing to Vote--was based on the "isolationiSm" of the Republican senator. |.
 The association attacked the stand of the Republican legislator on world affairs and urged his defeat by means Of on educational program devised by the association.
 Many members opposed adoption of the resolution oii the basis that 1t would defeat the primary purpose of the association as an institute of ron-partlsan public interested md education. By opposing one man, 1t was claimed by opponents. the association would classify itself as Q partisan group.
 The resolution. Gs adopted, reads:
 Be it resolved that the Water bury United Nations Association opposes the reelection of Senator John Danaher, urges its members to work for his defeat and calls attention of the state organiza- ton and other local organizations to the stand we have taken in the hope that the opposition to the senator may be every bit as open and avowed as his own op- position to everything that we see as expedient and wise in the field of this country's foreign relations.
 The meeting was held at the Women's Cl b following last nights second in Q series of public lec- lures.

Gov. Worren Hits Cheats

Minneapolis, Oct. 3 - (U.P.) = Governor Earl Warren of Califor- mia attacked corrupt" political machines of the Democratic party in Q campaign address supporting Governor Thomas E. Dewey last night, branding them an interest with which this country cannot af- ford to be saddled."
 Every ounce of energy" of the nations corrupt political machines are behind President Roosevelt, Warren said in a nationwide radio address, and if these orgafizat tionS were not in the present sight, "the fourth term campaign would fall like wobbly house of cards"
 If We permit the spread of Pen- dergast and Keily-Nash politics throughout the west and Hague and Tammany politics throughout the east, true liberalism in this country is gone" the California governor declared.
 Warren charged that the political careers of both Robert E. Hannegan, chairman of the Democratic Na- tionaI Committee. and Democratic vice presidential nominee Senator Harry s. Truman, were launched in the muddy waters of Pendergast politics" and said he wondered if they would now be willing to be known by these machine pronlot- CTS" 70
 The "Gargantuan Bureaucracy" which is now in control of the na- ton must not become so entrench- ed. but also so corrupt that perhaps never again in our life time can young men of the type of Harold Staesen, and the (present governor of Minnesota) and Tom Dewey suc- cessfully aspire to high political once"
