 Sen. Peter G. Gerry, b, R. l., pointed out Senators cannot be ex- pected to vote intelligently on Army and Navy appropriations and policy measures until information is forthcoming on the form an atomic age Army and Navy must take.
 Sen. Thomas c. Hart, R., Conn, former commander of the Asiatic Fleet, opposed further delays in conducting the tests. He said the Navy knows litle about the effects of an atom bomb on sea power and that such knowledge is essential to future planning.

 Republican leaders still feel he cal be prevailed upon to be a candidate either for Governor or U. S. Sena. tor. Back in the state Republican picture is eX-Lieptenant- Governor James L. McConaughy, newly-ap. pointed civilian advisor to the Navy pr. McConaughy is being mention. ed for either senatorial or guber- material nomination.
 On the Democrat side, Joseph Tone, of New Haven, former State Labor Commissioner who is now with the U. s. Labor Department is regarded as the leading contend CT for the nomination for gover- nor. Most talk centers about a tic- ket headed by Tone for governor and Lieutenant Governor Wilbert Snow for U. s. Senator. However Chester Bowles, Director of Eco homie Stahilization, cannot be en- trely discounted as a gubernatorial nominee. Washington gossip has it that Bowles' friends would like to see him run for governor this fall as the start of a build-up of him for a place on the national ticket in l948 or 1852. Thus far U. S. Senator Br!en McMahon had dis played no great enthusiasm for BowleS as Democratic candidate for governor.
 Mrs. WoOdhOuse Candidate
 Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, now a member of Congress from the second district. has steadily grown in political stature and she must be regarded as a possible for the U, s. Senatorial 
 MT. Tone has been in Waterbury frequently in recent weeks as an observer in negotiations during To- cal strikes. He is said to have tSre backing of much Of the New Ha- ven Democratic organization, and, at the moment, is well in front for first place on the state ticket.

Late primaries and conventions will probably prevail in Waterbury again this year. Two years ago ad. EnInistration forces held senatorial primaries exceptionally early. Even conventions were out of the way before the middle Of August. That was more or less general, though as the state conventions were like wise concluded by August l, so that all Nominations could be made in sufficient time to send the names of candidates to the farthermost theaI ters of war. That condition won't prevail this year; in fact you'll probably find little effort being made to secure the vote of the soldier who is still thousands of miles from his homeland. Demo- crats and Republicans are not ex- pected to get around to primaries until September. There's some talk of bringing the Democratic state convention back to Eastern Point, where so many of the successful conventions which named Wilbur Cross were held.

 Fear Precedent
 Tll the coal strike, mine opera tors told Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach that they feared the granting of tonnage assess ments to the United Mine Workers (AFL) for a health and welfare fund would set precedent for other unions.
 UNIV. President John L. Lewis reportedly had told Sch&ellenbach that the tonnage assessment must be granted if the strike is to be settled. The union demands 10 cents ton to be paid into a fund, ad- niniStered by the union, for hos pitalization and care of injured and aged miners.
 Operators believed that if they granted the assessments union in the steel automobile and other m- dustrieS would make similar de- mahdS.
 Tn the trucking dispute, Virgil Denton, assistant business agent for the local Drivers Union, described the walkout demanding wage in- creaseS as absolutely unauthor- tzed."
 The strike affected more than % trucking companies, and the walk out of dockmen disrupted freight shipments because freight could not be loaded or unloaded from trucks.
 In the airline dispute, President David L. Behncke of the Airline Pilots Association (A.F.L0, inform ed the National Railway Mediation Board that members had voted SIP to 9 in favor of a walkout to sup port demands for wage increases. A strike would tie up service on Transcontinental and Westerns 28. 270-mile system of domestic and foreign routes. Pilots and co-pilots now earn from $2,760 to SIS, 300 per year. They were demanding 6 top scale Of si5,000 to $16,OO0.
 The Westinghouse Electric con- ference covered employees of the firms lamp division in New Jersey and West Virginia. Negotiations be- tween the company and CIO. Un- tied Electrical Workers had been conducted for the past two days and were scheduled to resume Tuesday.

Politics
 M Passing

Hartford's current discussion of finances indicates quite clearly what has been happening in a great many American municipalities dur ing the war period. And at the same time 1t shows that little old Wa terbury isn't as bad off as a lot of critics would have you believe. As . matter of fact this city's financial position has steadily improved throughout the war period. And even now with tax suits of differ ent types pending the city does not find itself in difficulties ss @ re- suit, Of course the situation could change overnight. The l946 taxes will be due and payable on May l. It is customary to gear the opera tions of the city government to this date-in other words if tax money starts to flow in by May the city is sure to keep Itself on an even keel. Should tax money not be forthcoming, however, anything could happen, because there'd be no funds to meet payrolls, to pay vendors claims. to take care of bonded debt and interest. The city would have to default on the lat- ter; perhaps issue scrip to em- ployes and vendors for later re- demption in cold cash.

 Its hard enough to get the chil- dren to go to bed normally in the summer time. What are we going to do when it's daylight until 10 o'clock?" the mothers argued.
 Among workers in Detroit's down. town offices the poll showed 376 for the change and 30l against it. Ninety -four said they don't care.
 In most eastern states the change will be universal. All major cities in Pennsylvania with the exception of Altoona will go on daylight time.
 In the nations capital, no change will be made despite some citizens campaign for daylight. Washington has been on daylight time only during the war when the national wartime measure was in effect. A special act of congress would be necessary before a change could be made there.
 In Connecticut, a state law makes standard time official, but most of the cities adopt the day. light saving measure in order to conform with New York.
 Wisconsin forbids any use of day. light time. but Chicago, few miles south Of the Wisconsin border makes its use compulsory.

 but it's surprising what many com munitles have done in the way of simplifying their revenues without oyer-taxing the people. And the re- suits of such expeditions Into un- explored fields are available to those interested. New York City Is typical of the big community that finds itself stymied today. IL turns to the state for help, but here in Connec- ticut that recourse wouldn't he of much help to the average large city. Ingenuity, attention to the job at hand. and a will to do something for the community will go a long ways towards keeping Connecticut cities on the credit side of the led- per.

Still under it's existing charter 1t is possible for a department to exceed its bud get without being brought up shOrt AS . result of this the city has concluded its fiscal year just passed with & deficit, which Mayor Cornelius Moylan wants to take care of by an extra tax levy. In other words Hartford levied 2 tax rate of g mills for the current year, al- though it was claimed that to take care of the budget and the deflclency a S4-mill rate would be necessary. Now it looks as if in addition to the 32-mills Hart ford taxpayers may have to pay the additional mills anyway.

 budget it wouldn't be possible for any department to exceed its bud get. It would be possible for a de- partmental budget to be increased, but even this can't de done until after September 1, when inter- de- partmental transfers become pos- sible. Previous to that time if unex- pected expenses occur for the de- partment 1t is necessary for the de- partment to utilize funds that might have been set up for some- thing else, usually salaries, for that is probably the largest depart Enent budget item. Through its sys- tenn of budgetry controls it is not possible for any de- partment to spend more than is available. Even when contracts are being awarded advice must first be obtained from the Con- troller that there are funds available for the purpose. Then when the contract is awarded the amount is posted to the proper ap- propriation item as an encumbr- ance and there is no chance that this money will be spent for some other purpose before getting around to paying for the contracted ser- vices or materials.

All this talk about Economic StaDlliSer Chester BOwles want Ing the Democratic nomination for governor can be discounted if, as they say, he wants 1t without a contest. There hasn t been a state convention i'm e good many years without . contest and cer- tainly there is no indication that this year is to be an exception. And any way that's a weak way to begin . drive to secure any nomination. The candidate who won't enter into 8 contest for the nomination is not going to figure teo prominently In a fight to get elected. And what the Democrats need right here in Connecticut this year. as well as any year, are candidates who will put up a good hsht for both nominat ton and election.

Decision was reserved by Com mon Pleas Court Judge John T. Cul- linar yesterday in the S200 civil ac- ton of Anthony Lacava of Water bury against Richard Labbe, also of this city. The litigation is based on an automobile collision Feb, 3 at West Main and Judd Streets.
 Maria DeLuca of Waterbury to. day filed a $l5,0O0 non support suit in Superior Court against her hus- band, John DeLuca, and also nam- ed as defendant Nicola CiccarellI of Waterbury, to whom her husband conveyed his Beech Street property March 2l.
 The plaintiff claims her husband maintained their home under "in- tolerable conditions" 70 as to make 1t impossible for her to live there. She left March i9, the complaint states, and two days later the prop erty was conveyed t0 the other de- fendant.
 It IS alleged there was no corlSid- eration for the conveyance of the property and the transfer was made to defraud her of any possible sup- port.
 The court is asked to issue an or- der for $50 weekly for support, and to set aside the conveyance of the premises.
