GOVERNOR THANKS PRESS AND RADIO
Governor Attributes His
 Close Contact to People ! to Both Groups

Bridgeport, Nov. 4 4- Never in his- tory have so many people been irl- terested and active in the govern ment of the state of Connecticut, Governor Baldwin asserted last night in an address here that was broadcast over 8 statewide net work, in which the Governor extoll- ed the people for their part in cre- ating "a friendly government un- surpassed by any state in the UniOn."
 T think we are further along the road to a government of the people, for the people and by the people than ever before in our states his- tory" he contended. Now this was- mt easy to accomplish. It didn't just happen. It came about through conscious effort, with deliberate ain."
 He said that, as civilization has become more developed, and indi- viduals have become more inter- dependent upon one another, the government of a state has become more and more of a direct influence upon every man and women in the state.
 Government is everyone's bus iness, therefore, whether they want it to be or not" he added. ''That is why you must be closer to 1t, and that is why you must take an in- terest, why you must see that the proper people are retained in office and the inefficient ones removed. Tn decision affecting our govern ment is in our elections and by your ballots"
 'SThe fine, progressive record of the state government during the past two years is positive and con- elusive proof of what great things can be accomplished when people and government unite for the well fare of the state," he declared.
 T feel that throughout my ad- ministration, ever since I first took office back in 1889, that I have striven to be fair, frank and honest with you the people of Connecticut. It has been my belief that this friendly association of you with your government, this better understand ing of government by the people, could be brought about only if the people knew and appreciated the problems and the work of the state and took an active part in the ad- ministration of the state"
 He thanked the press and radio of the state for helping him main- tain a close contact with the people, adding that when problems arose. when difficult decisions had to be made, when emergencies had to be faced, when anything developed that particularly was the peoples bus iness, I called you to me or I went to you. Always was seeking to make the union of the government and the people the means of deter mining the policies and practices of the state"

DANAHER VICTORY
 SEEN AS TRAGEDY
So Charges McMahOn in Broadcast Titled, Where
 Is My OppOnent?'

New Haven, Nov. 4Senator Dan aher was branded as the man re- SponSible for making the Republi- cans foreign policy plank into a declaration which even MT. Dewey declared was open to dual interpre- tation," Brien McMahon, Demo- cratic candidate for United States senator, declared in radio address broadcast over 8 statewide hookup last night.
 MT. McMahon reviewed the re- fusal of Senator Danaher to discuss the issues in this campaign. His talk was entitled Where Is My Opponent?"
 "You will remember that 16 Re publican governors, led by Governor Edge of New Jersey, threatened revolt and said they were going to file minority report on this plank" MT. McMahon declared. 'They were only dissauded by MT. Dewey's con- vention managers, who pleaded that party harmony would be disturbed if they put on their fight for fortnight plank on foreign policy.
 MT. McMahon said many Repub- licans were working ito retire MT. Danaher to private life"
 You see, these Republicans who are working for Danaher's defeat" he continued, land there are thou sands of them, are as much inter ested in preventing World War III as we all are.
 They realize that MT. Danaher has been the close associate of Nye and Wheeler and Hiram Johnson and is one of those whom Bert Wheeler counted on when he pre- dicted that he thought it would be a cinch to upset our present plans for peace in the senate of the Unit ed States"
 Being an ostrich has proved defi- nitely the wrong way to keep Amer 1can blood in American veins. Those who shout the loudest to save America, to save American youth, to save American wealth, and use iSolationiSm as the way-they are the real criminals. They are the ones who spend the blood and spend the wealth of the nation.
 You cannot overcome an enemy because you refuse to recognize him. America is no further away from Europe than Europe is from America"
 MT. McMahon read letter which he had just received from friend serving in the South Pacific asking whether the people will once again huff the ball and set the stage for World War IT."
 MT. McMahon ended his address by reading his reply, in which he said:
 "Danaher will be beaten on Tues day next for our people realize that

Albert Guarino, son of Anthony Guarino of 9 Ward street, granted an honorable medical discharge from the Marine Corps five weeks ago after seeing plenty of action in the Kwajalein Island in the Mar shalls, Eniwetok, Parry Island, New Zealand, New Caledonia, American and British Samoa, saw the two column cut of this beaten, emaciat- ed man in the Waterbury Democrat Thursday evening and was amazed, for he helped capture the man, who is not Jap, but Korean.
 This Korean refused to come out of his fox hole, but was finally dug out by the Marines, ably aided by the powerful Guarino who at that time was a private first class.
 When Guarino returned to this city after his honorable medical discharge he brought with him numerous official Marine Corps photographs, including the one pie tured here of the Korean. The photos are now on display in the window of Patsy Travisano's Palm barber shop on East Farm street.
 Guariro is quite disturbed at the complacency Waterburians show regarding the war. T wish every one would visit the barber shop and spend a few minutes viewing those photos so they can get a first hand picture of some of the many ordeals men in uniform are braving for them, he said. Some of the pho tos are incredible, but everyone is an official one by a Marine photogra- pher and should be studied by each and every true American, added Guarino.
 Guarino enlisted in the Marines in May of 1943. Although he was not wounded, his physical condition had been affected by concussion and he was hospitalized for three months at Pearl Harbor and for two months at Navy hospitals at Oakland, Cal ifornia, and Bainbridge, California.
 His discharge shows that he par

With the Seventh Army in France Two armor piercing German shells buried themselves in the roadbank just ahead of the jeep which was carrying Master Sgt. Francis J. Charbonneau. of Waterbury, Conn.,, Tech. Sgt. Francis A. Hanigan, of Springfield, Mass, and Pfc. Richard G. Fitzgerald of Derby, N. Y., on reconnaissance trip for their sig nal construction company
 Fitzgerald damned the brakes and startingly asked: Whats that?"
 Charbonneau, equally surprised but ready with a nonchalant re- mark, answered, Nothing to it. just ack-ack-but let's get the hell out of here."
 Hanigan, who had meanwhile spotted a German tank across the river, said nothing. A nasty retreat was made, and a few hundred yards down the road an engineer cap tain stopped them and warned the group not to go far up the road.
 Almost as one, the three said: Thanks, we've just come back from there. "Whoever the Jerry was, he was 8 damn poor shot or we'd be there yet
 Further down the road the trios humor was revived as they saw a major and colonel disgruntlingly brushing off mud into which they had dived when the shots were fired.
 Master Sgt. Charbonneau is the son of MT. and Mrs. Charles Char bonneau of 165 Southmayd road, Waterbury, Conn. Tech. Sgt. Hani- gan is the son of MT. and Mrs. Will liam Hanigan of All Belmont ave- nue, Springfield, Mass, and Pfc. Fitzgerald is the son of MT. and Mrs. William Fitzgerald of Erie road, Derby, N. Y.
