Io Games Set For Soturdoy;
 Umps Needed
BY JOHN A. CLTTNEY


 With the first day of play already behind them, 38 teams of 76 regis tered in the Waterbury Democrat Sandlot Baseball Federation, were ready for another whirl in league competition, which they will have again Saturday (tomorrow) morning and afternoon-weather permitting.
 Schedules for the Roger Connor Conferences games Q0-12) and the Senior league, are printed herewith; with the third league in the feder- ation planned to start next week (l3 to Is years of age) now that all the youngsters are out of school.
 Umpires Needed
 There are 19 games scheduled to- morrow, about the same setup as last Saturday; which means that 19 umpires are needed; or to be more specific; IS will be needed as three have been assigned, as man. agerS and team players can see by the schedule below. Managers and teams must be prepared to supply an umpire for their games; as it is an utter impossibility to secure 19 umpires for Saturday games; es- pecially among the experienced men, many of whom worked last Satur- day to get the games started; but they can hardly be expected to donate their services week after week, though some of them are &C., tually willing to do so. The Demo- crat, however, does not wish to wear out its welcome" with the older and younger men capable of baseball umpiring by asking them to work flor free" each week, but we are hopeful that some of the war veterans, fathers, uncles and older brothers of the boys on the teams will not only go to see the kids play, but get behind the plate and um- pire game-any game, so that the games will be played; and not held up for lack of one person to run the game.
 Bill Stanton, Pat Slattery, Harry Melvin, Charley Guglielmo, Paul Barone, Pat Quilter, Joe Slavin, Ralph Santopietro and several others were right on the ball" last Saturday lending 8 big, helping hand to get the scheduled games in action and played out; but the Dem- ocrat has no way of knowing how many of them have the time or in- clination to work again Saturday, as all of them work hard enough throughout the first five days of the week and are entitled to all the rest they can get over the weekend.
 Next week, the 13-15 league games will be set up with 36 teams sched- uled for play, throughout the week.
 Standings of teams in the three leagues will be published once a week, on Wednesdays, in all prob ability, when returns are in from the games played.

Mr.. Wallace solicited Commerce

Of the Stain interview to the public.
His secretary dictated the text of his
remarks to a secretary In the infor-

into operation. Newsmen noted that

The press officers were noncom-
initial on how much the latest Wal

were inclined to minimize the out
lay, stating that mimeograph paper
was cheap and that the messengers
used to distribute the copies were
going on their usual rounds. Asked
whether they would continue to

Democratic regional leaders as
sembled here today for a congress
sional campaign strategy session,
with the wallace issue" figuring
strongly in the deliberations.
The meeting brought together 10
Of the IL members Of the policy
malking Executive Committee of the
Democratic National Committee, and
advance indications were that some
decision would be reached on the
extent to which former Secretary
of Commerce Wallace's aid will be
sought in the drive to retain control
of Senate and House
Democratic National Chairman
Hannegan and Representative
Sparkman of Alabama, head Of the
committees Speakers Bureau, have
said that the services Of the ousted
cabinet member will be welcomed
on the stump, but committee ar
rangements for Mr.. Wallace's par
ticipation in the campaign seemingly
have not progressed beyond that
point.
VIII hl0 III NlC0&aN.
The Associated Press reported
from Detroit last night that Mr.
Wallace, and his foremost Senate
sympathizer. Senator Pepper, Dem
ocrat, of Florida would take part
in the Michigan campaign.
This arrangement was made by
Cy Bevan, the Michigan Democratic
national committeeman, who, how
ever, first called headquarters here.
Sam ONeal. the Democrats pub
licity chief, said he thought that
Mr.. Bevan had advised Mr.. Spark
man that he would like to have the
former cabinet member come into
his State, and that Mr.. Sparkman
suggested that Mr.. Bevan get in
touch with Mr.. Wallace. Mr..
ONeal said he did not know If
the same procedure had been fol-
lowed in enlisting Senator Pepper.
Democrats are understood to have
little hope OF success in Michigan.
The Wallace entry there will be
interesting because Senator Van-
denberg, Republican, who is up for
reelection. is representing this
country at the Paris Peace Con-
ference. and is a strong supporter
Of Secretary of State Byrnes pol
icies which Mr.. Wallace and Sena-
tor Pepper oppose.
Mr.. Wallace is scheduled tenta-
lively to appear in Detroit October
81 and 70, and may also visit sew
eral other cities.
The Democratic meeting at the
Hotel Statler was to open this aft
ernoon. The visitors will call on
President Truman at 5 pm.

$71.40 for a 40-hour week, from $64
for a 44-hour week, the two princi-
pal operators associations have re-
fused to sign and cling to an offer of
a So weekly increase.
These holdout associations, which
claim to represent 700 trucking
companies, notified Mayor ODwyer

Gov. Dewey, if Mayor O'Dwyer did
not step in and save New York

action by you within "A hours will
leave us no other alternative than
to conclude that you have COM

New York's 100000 people in order
to curry political favor with these
union leaders," the operators tele-
graphed the Mayor.
