Merriman, the park department has chosen two of the current sensations of the concert world. Dame, handsome and prodigiously gifted tenor, is regarded by the critics as one who has filled a very special niche in today's hall of musical fame. Although one of the busiest legitimate singers in radio, with more than thousand network broadcastS already to his credit, MT. Dame towers highest of all above his contemporaries in the concert hall and is being hailed by the most discerning critics as recitaliSt in the very great tradition.
 AS for Miss Merriman, the mete- oric career of this young, comedy, thrush -throated star in the concert field has been well merited. Since the Easter morning when she made her first step to stardom singing to an audience of 30,000 in an Easter Sunrise Service in Hollywood Bowl, her name has been synonomous with all that is best in music. Three times soloist with Toscanini, twice with the New York Philharmonic Symphony and l50 broadcasts dur ing the past l2 months on NEG give an idea of the sterling quality of the voice of this outstanding young ar- tist.
 Orders for tickets for one or more of the pops" concerts may be made now at McCoys. Information re- garding the summer program of the park department in the musical field may be had by calling or writ ing to Supt. of Parks James J. Cur tin, Park Dept, City Hall, phone 5.Ol5l.

 Good Party Leader
 His view and comprehension of Connecticut's political scene is one of realistic objectivity blended with the proper mixture of retrospect. His position in Connecticut's political arena, despite his enforced absence from the state, Is prominent and forceful. We know for fact that Democratic state legislators, during last years regular legislative ses. sion and this years special, con- suited him frequently via the tele- phone, as to party-legislative af. fairs even while in the midst of their possession daily caucuses.
 We know also that he has been active in party affairs and appoint- ments in most districts with the exception of Waterbury where he considers his election reception of two years ago as "cool," to say the least. We dare to add, however, that he views this locale with degree of friendliness that he would like to kindle into open cooperation in the interests of party unity.
 He stresses the party unity theme He points to the facts that the Roosevelt vote-magnetisr1 is gone and so are many of the anti issues (anti-isolationisrn, anti.anti- labor. etc.), which he admits helped score victories for the Democrats during recent years. He believes that Connecticuts Democrats can score again. in fuller measure. if they are willing to pull together and work without irltra-party friction.

A series of four summer monthly pops" concerts under the sponsor ship of the park department and featuring the 50-piece Civic Orches- tfa of Waterbury under the direc- ton of Mario DiCecco in joint re- cital with nationally famous artists of the concert and radio field, will be inaugurated at Hamilton Park Pavilion Thursday evening, June 20th.

Nan Merriman. mezzo- soprano, well known to Waterbury audiences, will appear at the second event on Thursday evening, July Is, with oth- CTS to follow in August and Sep- tember.
 In announcing the summer series, Supervisor of Recreation William J.. Derwin of the park department said today that the park pavilion mu- sicales would feature many new in- novations both in the physical setup and presentation which promise to make them second to none in the East.
 While the pops" policy usually accents tables, MT. Derwin said that the plan in effect last season would be changed and that the tables would be placed on the promenade surrounding the main floor or par quet. Parquet seats and promen- ade tables will be reserved at two dollars and $50 respectively. Gen. eral admission seats will be on sale only at the door but will be limited pending the advance sale of reserved seats.

MT. BoWleS will be the choice for the Democratic senatorial nomination.
 What the senator had just told us might well be, for all we knew, the origin also of the political sag acity we have heard expressed to the effect that Bowles would not make strong candidate for gover- nor by reason of the politically.in- sular like qualities of the states so- called royal economists"; So many of whom have now designated him as the heir to the Rooseveltian crown of That Man In Washing ton!'
 That Bowles might be an eligible senatorial nominee but not one for the governorship may sound ann bigious; but 1t isn't so in light Sof the political reasoning behind It.. The governor usually is the orWarl- izational whip in the state, and be- cause of this fact party veterans do not want the Economic Stabilizer in such a position. He might prove difiicult to handle or he may prove to be a political blunderer-or so they reason. Bowles is political neophyte. after all!
 Shows Candidacy
 We asked Senator McMahon then about Democratic Lieutenant Gov ernor Wilbert Snow-now serving his first term. We wanted to know | whether he was being considered as a gubernatorial or senatorial candi- date. Senator McMahon just wasn't talking-at least not for open publi- cation.
 "Bill Snow is potentially hard- working, fine candidate. for almost any post. He is popular, well-receiv- ed, a faithful public servant and has the faculty of being at ease with all economic and social levelt l of the people" he said.
 Our impression was that he hk. ened Snow to will-o' '-the-wisT candidate insofar as opponents are concerned; Q candidate whose poll. tical and private career to date is st flexible and candid that 1t is i'm. possible to find any vulnerable spoi at which could be aimed Q knock down blow.

 Limit Service Period
 He asked the Senate to approve . measure that would:
 1. Permit drafting of Is and
 19-year-olds, but limit service
 of all draftees to an 18-month
 period.
 s2. Extend Selective Service
 without embarrassing limita-
 tions' to May IS, l947.
 3. Raise the pay for enlisted
 personnel.
 This bill, Gurney said, would strengthen the hand of Presi- dent Truman and Secretary of State James P. Byrnes in admin istering U. S. foreign affairs. as- sure maintenance of an Army strong enough to do it's assigned tasks, and assure national security until the United Nations develops it's full strength. The measure was intended to provide 1,550,0C0 man Army on July 1, 1947, and a 1O70,- OOO-man Army a year later.
 Selective Service now operates under a stop-gap extension bill, which prohibits calling up youths under 20. This measure, passed by the Senate few hours before the draft was scheduled to expire, mere ly provides time for consideration of a permanent measure.
 Senators opposing Gurneys bill rallied around an alternative measure to suspend inductions un- til Congress finds a national em- ergency requires conscription. This bill Is sponsored by Senators Chap man Revercomb. (R.-W. Va), Ken- meth s. Wherry CR.-Neb), and George A. wilson, R.-Ia0.

Over more than l70 residents of the Huntingdon Avenue area have appealed. to the Connecticut Rail way Company for establishment of regular bus service. The signed ap- peal has been forwarded to A. J.. Drummond, manager.
 The majority of the appellants are workers and housewives who have appealed to offset the incon- viences of having to walk great dis tances to an dfrom the nearest bus stops. The appeal, states that some service must be provided in the in- terest of common safety.
 Repairs to the street and addi. tional lighting will also eventually be sought, one spokesman said to-. day. The area now is heavily resi- dential and should be brought up to standards.
