New Charges Filed Against Risdon Mig. Co. by C.I.O.

C.IO. leaders here today charged that the management of the Risdon Manufacturing Company has re- fused to accept the resignations of several striking employees who have been offered jobs elsewhere. Harold Senior, publicity director for the Connecticut C.1O. Council, declared that the company has violated the sections of the unemployment com- pensation law requiring an employ CT to provide each resigning em- ploye with an official separation notice.
 Senior said that Local 251, Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers Union, C.I.O., whose members at the Wa terbury Risdon plant have been on strike since Aug. 20, has filed a complaint with the State Labor De- partment. The department, he said, was asked to direct the company to comply with the Jaw.
 Tt amounts practically to bond age," said Senior. Tt is preposter- ous and shocking when, in a free country, an employer seeks to re- strain an employe from freely choosing other employment. If nec- essary we shall take the case to the appropriate authority to end an intolerable condition"
 The C.I.O. spokesman cited the case of Rose Goncalves, 21 Railroad Hill Street. Last Friday, he said, she went to the Risdon personnel office and submitted her resigna- tion, but was told that there was plenty of work there for her and was refused separation notice. She returned to the personnel office again today, Senior related, this time, accompanied by two other union members, James Kennedy and Elmer H. Gaylord. Again, he said, the company refused her resig- nation, though she said she wished to accept job elsewhere.
 There have been several other cases of the same nature, the CI.O.

 Accompanying the gubernatorial nominee were: State Comptroller William T. Carroll, Torrington; Atty. Stephen K. Elliott, Southing- ton candidate for lieutenant-gover- nor; State Treasurer Raymond K Thatcher; Representative t-laAge Joseph P. Ryter and Atty. James J. O'Connell, candidate for attor- ney general.
 In brief informal talk, Lt.-Gov. Snow reaffirmed the platform of the State party and paid high tri- bute to the "sportsmanship and qualities of Chester Bowles, former economic stabilizer whom he defeat ed in seeking the gubernatorial candidacy.
 Numerous local Democratic Party members gathered at the club to welcome the guests of honor.
 Among reports gathered was that John Bailey, statutes revision officer of the State, strong supporter of Snow, may be the next State party chairman to succeed John McGuire, who is reported scheduled for oust- ing because of his support for Ches- ter Bowles' candidacy. The name of J. Francis Smith of Waterbury also was mentioned for the post Lt.-Gov. Snow will likely consult with party leader Senator Brien Mo- Mahon on the matter.

Weisman Files S65, 900 Suit Against Former Associates

Atty. A. Herman Weisman today brought two suits for $65, ,000 dam ages against two former associates, claiming he temporarily granted them title to his property without any financial consideration and that they now refuse to give it back to him.
 Another suit for $10,000 damages was filed against one of the same defendants by the now-dormant House Furnishings Company of Wa terbury, of which Weisman was a chief owner, on the same basis.
 The local lawyer claimed damages of $50,000 from Peter Snovich, as the result of realty transactions in volving premises on Bank Street and at 145-147 Washington Avenue.
 Bishop St. Site Involved
 He seeks damages of $15,000 from James Riccardo as the result of a dispute over property at 196-98 Bishop Street and on Grove Street.
 The furniture concern seeks $10,- coo damages from Snovich, over ownership of property at 3032 and 34-36 Chatf1eld Avenue.
 An unusual factor in the actions, which were returned to Superior Court at the same time by Attorney Joseph Levine as counsel for the plaintiffs, is that Riccardo is de- fendant in one of the Weisman suits, and is listed as surety for Weisman in the other.
 Explains Transactions
 Weisman claims he purchased property on Bank Street from the Waterbury Savings Bank, Aug. 26, 1942, and on Washington Avenue, Oct. 2, 1942, from the receiver of the Merchants Trust Company. He states he recorded title in the name of Snovich with the agreement that Snovich would later convey the premises to him. He claims Snovich has refused to do so.
 In the suit against Riccardo, he makes similar claims. The Bishop Street property was purchased March 2, 1943 from the Waterbury Savings Bank, and the Grove Street property, Aug. g, 1914, from the Wa terbury Trust Company as trustee under the will of Mary Scott Will jams, according to the complaint.
 The furniture firm claims 1t bor- rowed money May IT, 1888, from Snovich and conveyed the Chatf1eld Avenue property to him by quit claim deed. It was agreed, the com plaint alleges, that when the plain tiff had repaid the money to Sno- vich or the bank from whcih he in turn had borrowed it, that Snovich would reconvey the premises to the plaintiff, The money was repaid but the conveyance was not made. the court papers state.
 Ass Tor Receiver
 In all three suits, the court is asked to make judgments requiring the defendants to convey the prem ises to the plaintiffs. In the suits against Snovich, the court also is

Wallace Beat Scored ByP Pearson
 Democrat Column
 Writer Hos Fine Record for Scoops

Recent publication of the history making letter written by Secretary Henry Wallace to President Tru- man on the question of Russia re- emphasizes the phenomenal job of newspaper reporting Drew Pearson has been doing. Pearson'S Wash lngton Merry Go-Round' is pub lished daily on The Democrat edi- torial page.
 During the last two years he has published no fewer than 12 his- torlc documents which not only have been important news beats, but which nave rendered distinct service to the American public in advising them regarding vital mat ters in the field of foreign affairs.
 Among other things Pearson pub lished such historic documents as Ambassador William Phillips two reports to Roosevelt on India and Prime Minister Churchill's tele- gram of instruction to General Scobie "to treat Athens as a con- quered city"
 Here are some of the documents Pearson published and the roper cussions which they caused:
 British plan for the partition of Palestine-published by Pearson Aug. 19, 1946, following which he gave the full text of the plan to all newspapers.
 British Foreign Office instructions to Alexander Cadogan in New York on Franco Spain, April 15, 1946. When Cadogan issued a denial, Pearson published the full text ot the British cable, together with dates. The British Foreign Office then confirmed the accuracy of the instruction.
 On Aug. 8 ,1945 Pearson pub lished the famous order number 1067. of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the Modification of Germany.
 The late President Roosevelt's letter to the Secretary of War call ing for an increased bread ration for Italy was published by Pearson Nov. 20, 1944. Subsequently, on Jan. 4, 1945, he published the State De- partment's note to London com- blaming that the British would not cooperate in raising the bread ra- ton. This brought a formal com plaint by the British Government and a public statement by Secre- tary of State Stettinius, which, in cidentally, admitted that Pearson's document was textually correct.
 Following publication of Ambas- sador Phillips report on India. the British also lodged formal pro test with the State Department and declared Ambassador Phillips per- soma non grata.
 Other important state papers pub lished by Pearson included Chiang Kail-shek's letter to President Roosevelt recommending the use of Chinese troops in India, and the memorandum signed by Roosevelt and Churchill at Quebec recom- mending the pastoralization of Germany.

spokesman said.
 The Risdon strike began after the company announced it would no longer recognize Local 251 as bar gaining agent for the workers. The management asserted that the union no longer represented ma jority of the employees.
 Management union negotiations had been stalled for several months before the strike. The union seeks contract setting higher pay levels, and providing for arbitration of disputes.

North Conway, N. H., Aug. D. (UP)-Langdon Walker, 27, said to- day he had scolded and forgiven his 23-year-old wife Barbara who faked Kidnapping when she disappeared last week from a picnic at Echo Lake and flew to the West Coast.
 He said he talked to her by tele- phone a. the State Line, Nev., cafe where she obtained employment while state police were seeking her body here in the belief she had been slain.
 Walker said he told his wife her disappearance was the "cruelest blow ever struck me" and asked her to send letter immediately explain ing everything" and you've got a lot of explaining to do."
 Mrs. Walker said at State Line she had decided to just disappear and set the stage to look like I was Kidnapped because of family argu- ment."
 She said she had taken a train from North Conway to Boston, but her husband didn't believe that. Neil ther did police or railroad workers who have known Mrs. Walker since childhood and would have seen her If she boarded a train.
 Walker said his wife sounded really sorry" for her actions and T thought once or twice she was going to cry"
 She asked me to come out there and live" he said, but I'll have to wait until get a letter explain ing everything before I decide what to do."

He loved to work, he loved to satisfy, and above all he loved to pay. Why, in the recent summer card tournament, he paid, and re- marked, even if he were not around for the dinner, his enjoyment of the early meetings was worth the expense involved.
 We have no idea of how many Elks yattended the funeral, in that we are not identified with the or ganization. What we have printed has been obtained from those we met at the funeral house. But we do feel that where it was possible, every Elk should have been present; for the good Jim was in that body, and the service rendered for so many years without compensation
