 Failure of Party to Name City
 Candidates Moy Disrupt Party

The Waterbury Republican Party today found itself in the midst of a political stew which threaten to boil over into Q showdown demand by party cohorts with their leaders. The strongly hinted action results from the inability of the leaders to name slate of city candidates, for the coming November election, at last nights COP city convention.
 Also irritating many party mem- bers is that the delay in naming candidates may result in the COP losing out on the majority of the soldiers vote, because of the short time left to arrange for mailing and receiving the absentee ballots to Waterbury's GIs.
 Adjourned
 The convention was adjourned last night after the failure to name Q mayoralty candidate and others for the post of controller, city clerk, tax collector, city treasurer, city sheriff and members of the board of aldermen.
 At press time today the mayor alty candidacy of the COP Party was said to have gone begging.
 As reported in The Democrat last night strong dissatisfaction has been shown lately within the COP party with the present leadership

control. Open signs Of this feeling were shown at last nights caucus by leading candidates for the various posts yet thrilled.
 Some sources claimed today that action may be taken demanding that the leaders of the party reveal their intent as to fall election plans insisting that these same leaders de- clare their open avowal of the party and Its purposes.
 Nominees Irked
 Proposed nominees such as ex- Judge Harry Beardsley for mayor and Henry Corden for city clerk as well as others were said to be heat edly disgruntled as result Of last nights failure of the leaders to name a slate. It has been declared this morning that many of these candidates now are refusing to have any more to do with the party's election plans unless the leadership which brought about last nights ad- journment Is stripped of much of its power.
 J. Warren Upson called for last nights adjournment in opposition to Atty. Maurice GrusSay and others.

Truman Refutes M'Arthur z Occupation E Estimates; Govt. Moves On Detroit Strikes
President Claims Size of Needs
 Cunnot Be Deter mined Until Spring

Washington, Sept. lS (UP) = President Truman said today that the '.size ox makeup" of the army occu- patton forces abroad cannot be accurately determined u1l- til next Spring.
 The President said the impression" that "the speed of Rehabilitation is governed by our future needs for oc. cupation and other forcesy is "not true"
 "No one now can accurate ly forecast what those needs are going to be-" The presi- dint said in a statement re- leased by the White House.
 MacArthur's Claim
 Monday Gen. Douglas MacArtnllxs Supreme Allied commander in Jas pan, asserted that the Japanese ocr cupation force need be no laryer than 100000. The President clteu MacArthur's recent varying esM- mates of the manpower he VII need, pointing out that MacArtnllE 30 days ago estimated he would need an occupation force of 800 sOo0 men, and had now dropped to 2o0,f 900. The president said yesterday H0 was glad to hear this last estimafe.
 Pointing out that earlier estimates are being constantly revised. Mry Truman referred again today tos MacArthur:
 For example, Gen. MacArthliz this week stated that he would bel able to handle the occupation ok Japan and, Korea with half tne troops that only month ago neI estimated he would need for that purpose"
 Then the President went on tc say:
 Problems To Come
 Carrying on our demobilizatiox as rapidly as we can--which we are now dolng-we shall not really lace the problem of the size or makeup of the occupation forces until nexs spring. By that time. we ought ee lsnow how many men we shall nee4 for occupation and tO what extent that need can be met through Toi~ unteers."
 He said the present Army disa charge rate of 16,200 day VIII llAt crease from now to ChriStmas to nos fewer than 22,000 per day. and hy January, l046, to more than 11sODN per day in fulAllment of the AEmys 2 plan to return more than 2,00Os svUQ soldiers to their homes by next Christmas.
 "The Army and Navy mean Co do the task set for them with the manA@ mum number of men," the President said. There will be no padding in our armed forces.
 Full Strength
 America is going to keep the fun strength she needs for her national commitments. But the rest Of tb2 men are coming back home, and coming as fast as the services can get them out"
 He stressed Q personal interest ia making sure that no one is held ir the service "a day longer than x necessary to see the Job through
 As the statement was released, re- porters asked White House PraGs Secretary Charles c. Ross whstne< MT. Truman in his press conference yesterday was giving wholehearteq approval to MacArthur's Announces ment - of which the President had no advance knowledge = or whe~ ther he was being sarcastic,
 Ross replied that you will have to put your own interpretation on his words" He added that he, hix1f self, saw no great signincance " them.

Burton, an Ohio Repubublican, who was nominated yesterday by Presi- dent Truman to the United States Supreme Court.

Scots Quote Burns, Eat Hogeis
Marking Poets 186th Year

The sons and daughters of Scot
land gathered last night to mark the
l86th birthday of their national
poet, Robert Burns. Some wore kits,
some not. Some had obvious Scotch
names, some not. One loyal son was
even named O'Brien. But there was
one unbreakable bond-they could
all recite the poems of Burns, line
by line.
The annual celebration was spon-
sored by the st. Andrews Society of
Washington at the Mayfower Hotel.
After dinner of the traditional
Scotch broth and Haggis pudding,
the members and guests heard a
concert of Scottish songs.
The tables were decorated with
Scottish heather and the flags of
famous Highland regiments. Bag
pipers paraded between the tables
in full tartan, blowing the Camp
bells Are COMM" The Haggis. a
meat pudding prepared specially
for the society in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada, was cut with the
traditional Silver Claymore. The
claymore welded by Norman G.
Kindness once belonged to Bonnie

Prince Charlie himself, and was lent
by George ParenZo.
The mass reciting of Burns poems
was not planned. DR. Peter Marshall,
president of the society, quoted bits
to illustrate his lecture on Bruins as
a champion of freedom. From every
table rose steady murmur of voices,
repeating the well-loved verses.
Back by the kitchen, Campbell and
a Mactavish disagreed over one line.
THE Campbells," whispered
MacDonough "are always picking a
fight"
DR.. Marshall paid tribute to the
Scottish soldiers, the fighting, the
imprisoned and the dead-waging
Burns battle for the rights of man
on a modern battlefield. Wherever
they were yesterday, he said, every
son of Scotland surely paused and
blessed the name of Burns.
Maj. Gen. F. H. N. Davidson of
the British Mission urged that
Americans have more faith in their
own ability to get along with the
British. From long battle expert
ence, he said, he has discovered the
two countries fight we'll together.
This can be done in war;" he said.
why not in peace?"
