LA. Mcclure Aims Guns At Baldwin
 Charges Governor
 Obeys Dictates
 Of Insurance Grour

Hartford Aug 17-tUP)-Gov. R. E. BaldWins long awaited decision to remain in politics and his an- nouncement that he would be the candidate for the U. s. Senate nomination, drew almost inmedi- ate fire today from the Democrats who charged him with obeying the dictates of the Connecticut insur- ance interests"
 The Governor. appointed vice. president and general counsel of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, soon after announcing 8 year ago that he would retire from politics, said that in offering him. self as the senatorial candidate he would resign his insurance posi- tions.
 But Democratic State Chairman John A. McGuire charged that MT. Baldwin had the word long ago from the people who have been paying his private salary = that Connecticut insuran ce interests. Why should these interests take a chance with Rep. Clare Boothe Luce when their hired servant is at hand? Far be 1t from them to worry whether or not they convict MT. Baldwin of hypocracy.f
 Decision No Surprise
 Mcclure declared that the Gov ernor's decision to be a candidate this Fall comes as no surprise des- pite his many protestations that he would not under any circumstances consider running.
 MT. Baldwin, while engaging in campaigning. has been assiduously making double talk denials about running for office again. Anyone familiar with politics realizes that if man does not wish to run for office he does not maintain a per Sonal publicity bureau at the states expense
 While the Democrats strongly denounced the Governor, his own party lauded his decision to spear head it in the coming elections.
 Mitchell Happy
 Republican State Chairman Har- old E. Mitchell said that he was extremely happy" and that the decision of Governor Baldwin to heed the widespread plea that he reconsider his announced intention of retiring to private life is an- other stirring example of his high devotion to the cause of public service"
 With the Republican top-side of the ticket settled and the way pointed for harmonious nominat- ing convention next month, in- terest switched today in the Demo- cratic choice of a candidate to op- pose the Governor.
 Former Economic Stabilization Director Chester Bowles, who pre- ferred the gubernatorial nomina- tion, was probable choice but there was doubt he would accept the senatorial nod in view of Bald wins admittedly strong position.
 Democratic State Headquarters had no solution to offer and a spokesman there said that the sit uation is in state of fluX."

Strike Grows Worse
 Movement of VitoI
 Material Halted

Detroit, Aug. r tUP)-The move ment of vital supplies of iron ore, grain and oil on the Great Lakes was slowing to a halt today. in the third day of trike by National Maritime Union tC1.Ol Seamen demanding a 40-hour work week
 The NMU. and the ship owners disagreed on the number of ships now tied up, but both sides agreed the number was growing
 The union said that l05 ships and 4,00O seamen were idle in ports of the five lakes.
 The Lake Carriers Association of ship owners at Cleveland said only ,26 bulk freighters of 3l6 L.C.A. ships were strike-bound. However, they had no figures available on 84' non association ships.
 A United Press survey Of ports indicated that 56 ships were tied TO- 14 ships at Detroit, one at Port Huron, Mich, two at Muskegon, Mich, five at Ashtabula, O., three at Cleveland, 14 at Chicago, three at Toledo, five at Duluth, five at Mantioc and Superior, Wise, one at Two Harbors, Minn., and three at Erie and Buffalo
 Joseph Curran, N.M.U. president, predicted that all 400 ships of Am erican registry on the inland water way would be tied up within week if the owners did not agree to a reduction in the 56-hour. week
 No new moves toward negotia- tions of the strike were reported since Curran yesterday notified the ship owners that he was ready to resume peace talks any time and any place.
 Officials of five shipping compan- ies here have charged the NM,U. with violating contracts and de- nounced the strike as an organlz- ing drive They further charged that NMU Seamen had left many" loaded tankers at docks without fire protection in violation of safety regulations.

CLIO. Maps Strikes End
 Seeks CIeon Slote
 For FoH Elections

Washington, Aug. 17.-tUP)-The C1O. set out today to clean up all present strikes and avoid others be- fore the November elections to help win it's fight for strict price con- trolS and a Congress more favorable to labor.
 CIO. President Philip Murray, President Walter Reuther of the United Auto Workers (CIO., and other leaders turned their attention to this task as folloW-up to the CLOS new drive against price rises begun here two days ago. ~
 Murray scheduled a meeting with Reuther, Presidents Albert Fitzger- aid of the United Electrical Work CTS, and Grant Oakes Of the United Farm Equipment Workers to discuss steps to end the to 8 months strikes at nine plants of J. l. Case and AllS Chalmers farm equipment compan- ies All three unions are involved in these Walkouts.
 One result may be personal ap- peal from Murray to presidents of the two strike-bound companies for conferences to iron out the dispute and get 5000 CIO. members back on their jobs.
 Murray arranged another confer ence also for an undisclosed pur- pose with Reuther, Fitzgerald. and Presidents L. S. BuckmaSter of the United Rubber Workers and John Green of the Marine and Shipyard Workers. Reuther said it involved only a routine CI.O. matter" and Murray declined to discuss it in ad- vance.
 One of the union presidents in- volved in the conferences said that it is CLOS intention to bring to all strikes now in progress to an end as quickly. as possible on satlsfac- tory terms to the workers. He pre- dicted a strong effort would be made to maintain tranquility in CIO-or- ganized industries until after the November elections.
 Reuther and the JAW. Executive board gave a formal hint of this policy in statements here yesterday. They authorized opening of the unions contract with Chrysler Cor poration and all other companies were reopening on wages is permit ted.
 Other big CIO. unions are ex- pected to follow the same pattern but new wage demands, if they should be made, would probably be delayed three weeks or longer after Oct l6.

Honolulu, Aug. 17-(UP)-Vice Admiral w. H. P. Blandy said today an atomic war would find the U. s. Navy guarding the ocean frontiers.
 Unless some plan which is at once practical and at the same time acceptable to all nations is devised for outlawing the atomic bomb, ? Blandy said, there will be atomic warfare, and I believe it will include naval warfare.
 "As a result of Operations Cross- roads, the United States will be bet ter prepared for such warfare than any other nation on earth
 Blandy said that even if giant guided missiles are built capable of spanning oceans and continents and exploding atomic warheads over cities, the United States still will require strong navy to defend it. self at sea.

Democratic PortyLeoders Sit onight
 Town Committee
 To Name Delegates
 To Conventions

Local Democratic Party delegates to the seven conventions for choos- ing candidates for the Fall cleo tions will be named tonight at 8 when the Democratic Town Com- mittee sits" in session M Party Headquarters at 95 North Main Street.
 Rival states of delegates of the 16th District senatorial primary contest between incumbent Sen. Patrick Wallace and ex-Alderman Martin F. Sullivan will be included among the lists to be submitted to the committee tonight.
 Voting in the primary will be conducted from 4:30 P. M. to g. 30 P. M. next Wednesday, Voting is confined only to 18th District voters who are listed on the Democratic primary list. These total 7,955. The voting is expected to be light.
 =+.+ COP Meets Tuesday
 (The Republican primary date,
 which will not include any pri-
 mary contest this year, is
 Tuesday. Delegates to the COP
 conventions and new members
 of the Town Committee will be
 voted on that day.)
 Delegates to be sublri d to- night will include those for the fol- lowing conventions: 18th and 18th senatorial districts; town, State, congressional. shrievalty and pro- bate. An informal reception will be held afterward.
 On Wednesday, these delegates will be formally elected by a vote cast by Neil F. Maloney, secretary Of the party. This vote is cast in the absence of a primary contest ing the delegates named. These delegates will then serve the party at their respective conventions.
 The impending primary contest in the l6th-the only one this year in either major local party - has created little activity to date. Both candidates have made but one ma jor speech.
 Predict Wallace Win
 Two years ago, when incumbent Senator Wallace defeated ex-Sen. John F. Tobin for the nomination less than one-third Of the total el- glble votes were cast It is pos sible that even less than this per- centage will turn out next Wednes- day. Most observers are predict ing a victory for Wallace. The Wln- ner will probably fact Attorney Edward Sweeney. favored COP candidate for the nomination, in the Fall election.
 The 18th District is comprised of the Fourth and Fifth Wards. each with 3,052 and 4,903 registered Democrats, respectively.
 In a brief address to the voters of the District at his headquarters last night, MT. Sullivan urged the voters to go to the polls. He said ::
 Tn Wednesdays primary it is for the voters of the 18th Sena- torial District to decide which can- didate they want. They are the people who make up the party. and it is for them to make the decision.
 No candidate has a right to any office, and claim none. The only right involved is that of the Democratic voters of the 4th and 5th Wards to choose their own can- didate.
 The people of the district know me. I was born in the 16th and leave it to the people of the dis have lived there all my life. I will trict to decide whether or not I will adequately represent them I think I know their problems and that they know that I will try to solve them in the way they want" :"
