Baldwin Suspected Double Cross in Talb0ts Campaign

Waterbury's eight delegates to the Republican State convention Sept. g and 10 will enter Hartford's Bush nell Hall next month pledged to support Rep. Joseph E. Talbot's bid for the gubernatorial nomination.
 Today every effort was being made to secure headquarters for Talbot who is going "all out" in his effort to defeat former It. Gov. Dr. James L. McConaughy for the state nom- ination.
 The delegates were elected at the town convention held last night at the Y.M.C.A.
 Deliberate "Block"
 It now appears definite that the candidacy of Dr. McConaughy has been deliberately steered by party top leaders in an effort to force Rep. Talbot out of the picture. Of sur prise to many Republicans is the in- dication that Governor Raymond E.. Baldwin has had a share in the maneuver said to be sparked by State Chairman Harold E. Mitchell. Gov. Baldwin, who will be the U. s. senatorial nominee, left for Canada at the time of the McConaughy an- nouncement.
 Supporters of Talbot promise a floor fight at the convention should 1t prove to be an open convention. Only scattered pledges have been made to date for any candidate.
 Richard D. Bensen was reelected COP. town chairman last night. Delegates to the state convention are: Richard D. Bensen, Milton Myers, Albert Schiavone, George Kingston, Raymond E. Snyder, Francis J. Summa, Floyd Rasmus- sen and Mrs. Gertrude Bowes.
 Their alternates are; Bertram B. Bailey, Mrs. Viola B. Amelung Edward Sweeney, Mrs. Gertrude Swirda, Michael Stofi, William Curtis, Vernon Hall, and Patrick M. Perriello.

frequent spells of indigestion, belching, gas, sour stomach and heart -burn-if neglected or perhaps improperly treated, may gradually change into an ulcerous condition of the stomach, and eventually ul- ceration may develop into cancer. Chiropractic treatments-with im- portant dietary information and vital advice-have helped many to get rid of their stomach ailments !n a very reasonable time.
 I offer those who are having stom- ach trouble this form of treatment it is sound, effective and different from any other. Cost moderate. No charge for consultation.

George was informed that the Veterans Administra tion will grant disability pension to World War II veterans honorably discharged after 90 days service if any of several chronic diseases develops to a 10 percent degree of disability within one year fater discharge from serv- ice. George was told to file a claim for pension so that the Veterans Administration could determine his eligibility for pension on the basis of whether he has myocarditis and, Ii he does, whether it is disabling to 10 percent degree. Other dis eases and disabilities for which pen sion can be granted include tuber- culosis, arthritis, diabetes mellitus. and certain heart and nervous con- ditions.
 Whenever there is any question as to the right to pension, a claim should be fled and the Veterans Administration will then determine whether or not the condition is one for which pension can be granted.

Facts For VeterQns
PENSIONS FOR DIsEASEs

George N. was in good health when he was inducted into the Army. He was not sick at any time during his three years of service; and when he was dis charged from the Army. military authorities noted no disability. Eight months later George began to have heart trouble. His physi- clan told him he had a valvular heart disease called myocarditis and that he should find a job which would not be physically strenuous. George asked the Home Service worker of his Red Cross chapter whether he would be entitled to a disability pen sion. since his heart condition did not appear until several months after his separation from the Army.

Politics
 In- Passing

Even in politics coming events are said to cast their shadow well in ad- vance. Maybe the imposing figures of ex-governor Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota and Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin of Connecticut standing side by side at the COP state con- vention next month here in Con- necticut will be prophetic alliance. Could be that this might be a po- tential Republican team for the na- tional election of 1948 Certainly nothing stronger than such an invi- tation could have persuaded Gov. Baldwin to forsake a lucrative pri- vate position for the more unstable features of political life, even that of a senator amid the plushy Wash ington plutocrats. A StaSSen- Bald win ticket in 1948, combining the liberalism and energy of New Eng land and the Midwest, is not too difficult to imagine. So when ex- governor Stassen is invited to be the COP keynoter here in Connecticut next month it's safe to surmise that big things are ahead for the states own governor, and that doesn't just mean a senatorship.

The figures were certainly inter- esting in this contest, which proved beyond a doubt that Democrats in Waterbury take their politics seri- ously. Wallace's total vote for le44 was 164e, whereas it was only 1548 this year. Two years ago Tobln boiled 1880 votes. but this year Sul- livan piled up 1630, an even 300 votes more than the redoubtable senator from the 18th. who wanted to run this year, but refrained from entering a three-way contest. The wisdom of this is apparent, because there's little doubt but what Wallace would have still boiled approximate Iy 1540 votes, whereas the 1880 for Sullivan might have been divided between him and Tobin with the re- suit that Wallace would have slid in safely.

Democrats, of course, in Water bury will talk for great many years about the outcome of the 1946 senatorial primary in the 18th. It probably recalled to the old timers some of the ding dong battles of the past, for this was ding dong battle. The outcome wasn't really decided until District 4-3, Senator Patrick J. Wallace's own district, came in with the Wallace margin over ex-alderman Martin Sullivan only four votes. To the district-wise that was the end. for hadn't Sullivan's district, s-2 handed him the handsome ma iority of 147. Maybe Sullivan's packing of his primary ticket with six delegates from District 5-2 paid off; maybe other factors en- tered into the fact that he was able to raise the Tobin vote of 1944 from 219 to 274, whereas the Wallace vote of 1946 dropped down to 127 from 15S in 1914.

miles southeast of the Army Air
Field early today, killing the five or
six persons aboard. There were no

flash and an explosion was heard.
Army spokesmen said the bomber
was en- route to Long Beach Army

A Navy surgeon said he attempted
to count the victims and that he
believed there were six bodies. Iden-

Vulnerable to Heavy Impact

Doubt as to whether any of the

a loaded bus was expressed today
by Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, District
director Of highways.
He explained, however. most of
the rails are of stronger type OF

stone uprights which yesterday
failed to prevent loaded bus frim

The Chain Bridge across the Po-
