Pounding on the door to the throne

Tireless, aggressive Servo is hard
customer to handle. He throws
punches Eastern you can count and
has never been knocked off his feet.
Bash-nosed Freddie, however, is
plenty tough. He fights like terrier,
and has lots of heart. Some say
his recent tits with Rocky Graziano.

Democrats Pick Mead
 To Battle With DeWeu
PAGE FOUR

New York, Sept. 3. CUP)-New York Democrats turned once again to the combination of U. s. Sen. James M Mead and former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman today to op- pose Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in his bid for reelection this fall.
 Mead and Lehman, who beat Dewey in 1888, emerged as the choice of the Democrats as they opened their party convention at Albany today This time, however the positions were reversed. Mead was the choice for the gubernato- rial nomination and Lehman was favored as the candidate to succeed him in the Senate.
 Dewey had no opposition for re- nomination at his party's conven- tion which also opened today at Saratoga Springs. Dewey's choice and the favorite for the senatorial nomination was Assemblyman IrV- ing Ives, Norwich. Ives had strong opposition in Map Gen. William J. Wild BilD Donovan, who threat ened to carry the issue to the floor of the convention.
 Drum Drops Out
 Ives became the choice of the party wheelhorses last night after COP. leaders became reconciled to the fact that It. Gen. Hugh A. Drum did not want the nomina- ton. Drum withdrew his name as possible candidate last week.
 The 50-year-old Ives first was elected to the Assembly in 1880 and has been majority leader since 1887.
 Democratic leaders agreed on Mead and Lehman after two-hour conference last night. Leaders Of the American Labor Party. whose 100000 votes helped the same com bination beat Dewey in 1888, were expected to approve the Demo- cratic nominees.
 No Trouble Expected
 Both parties will name their can- didates officially tomorrow. No trouble was expected on the con- vention floors.
 Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, widow Of the late president, will make the keynote address at the Democratic convention at l P. M. today. After the address, the convention will recess until tonight when New York Mayor William ODwyer will take over as permanent chairman. Mead will make his acceptance along with other candidates tomorrow.
 Nomination of Mead and Leh- man, both ardent Roosevelt Demo- crats, was considered major vic- tory over followers of former state and national chairman James A, Farley. Farley, who lost control of the State Democratic organization in 1942 when Dewey beat his can

work should not be paid for by the Towns of Waterbury, Wolcott and Middlebury as requested by the pres ent incumbent, since it has already been paid for out of fees collected from the estates of residents of those towns during the incumbency of his predecessor.
 8. Probate court bills should be itemized so that conscientious ex- ecutors and administrators can make sure no mistakes has been made in the charges against estates they are handling.
 A. The probate judge should not use his office to gain clients for his private practice.
 Atty. McNiff has pledged him. self during the campaign to confine his statements and efforts to the above issues only.
 Tn other words, the Republicans are faced with the choice of nom- mating Atty. McNiff and helping elect him, or of nominating third candidate who would surely run third in the election since if they nominate a third candidate 1t will be apparent to all that their lead CTS have been playing double ma- chine politics and have been bought off in the usual manner by appoint ments of key Republicans to lu- crative probate work. If they nom- mate Atty. McNiff, he is sure of election, since he also has our support. When he is elected, how ever, he will put our policies into effect as he has pledged. The Re- publicans will not catch the gravy" as The Herald intimates. If Republicans get probate appoint ments from Judge McNiff it will not be because they are Repubh- cans, but because they are quali- fled for the work for reasons other than politics. Maybe some Repub- licanS will try to get Judge McNiff to violate his pledges. We won't. We know it won't do anyone any good to ask him to, because we know he is man of his word.

McNiff Supporters Caution Republicans To Stand Firm

Oficails of Waterburys Taxpay- CTS Good Government Party and the Waterbury Socialist Party warn leaders of the local Republican Party not to attempt to seek spe- cial favors from Atty. Miles McNiff Jr., if the later should be elected Probate Judge this fall.
 Atty. McNiff who has been nom- mated by the Taxpayers and So- cialist parties is also expected tc be nominated by the COP. He has promised to dispense with the pro- bate fee system and to appoint ap- praiers by means of list of quail fed persons.
 The warning, was issued in a statement by Anthony R. Martino chairman of the Taxpayers Party and Samuel I. WoloZin, town chair man of the Waterbury Socialist Party.
 The following, is the statement in part: L.
 At present Atty. McNiff is our candidate. He is not yet the canal date of the Republican Party al though we have every expectation that he will be after the Probate Convention of the Republican Party for the Waterbury probate district meets on Oct. 10. We asked him tc run: he did not ask us to run hlm We have nominated him and were the first to do so. We have secured ample signatures to his nominating petitions for placing his name on the voting machines under our party designations in the coming elections. '.
 "He is our candidate because he stands for our program as regaros the office for which we have nom mated him and has pledged hlm- self to those policies in writing ana publicly in the Waterbury news papers.
 ''These policies are:
 "1 Appointments of appraisers administrators and commissioners are to be made in rotation from a panel of qualified persons without regard to politics. Anyone who 1eels himself qualified for such work can apply for it and ii he IS quallneu, his name will go on the list. Clerical help in the court will be hired on the basis of qualifications for the work to be done, without regard to politics.
 "2. The fee system of compen- sation for probate officials should be abolished. Toward this eno the probate judge of Waterbury should devote all fees to which he is legally entitled under the present system over a reasonable salary to improving the service of the court and particularly to bringing the in- dexing of the Probate Records (now Is years behindD up to date.

Facts For Veterans
GRATUITOUS INSURANCE

Jewel s. was a member of the
 National Guard when, prior to De-
 cember ', 1941, he was mustered
 into service. He was sent to Hawaii
 where he was stationed at Pearl
 Harbor. After the Japanese at
 tack, Jewel was declared missing
 in action. On February 15, 1942,
 his mother was officially notified
 of his death. The mother was de-
 pendent upon Jewel. Although she
 now is receiving a death pension
 and has received the death gra-
 tuity and accrued pay she has
 been given no information regard
 ing government insurance. She
 now is wondering if Jewel carried
 such insurance.
 Many men were mustered into service and sent outside the United States during the months before and immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack. Consequently, due to the pressures of the emergency, these men lacked the chance to sub scribe to government insurance at a time when it was evident that their lives were in real jeopardy.
 Recognizing the unfairness of this situation, the government provided that men in this group who were in active service on or after December ', 1941, and before April 20, 1942, and who died in the line of duty with out having minimum of 5000 gov ernment insurance, were automat- ically granted such insurance.
 In this case, Jewels mother must prove that she was dependent upon him for support at the time of his death. She must also file a claim for the insurance within five years of the official date set by the War Department as the date of her sons death. AS a matter of routine, the Veterans Administration forwards the necessary forms for this action to the next of kin. Apparently, the dead soldiers mother did not re- ceive the proper claim form.
 Her local Red Cross chapter ad- vised her to prepare letter to the Venerans Administration making claim for the benefit. The Home Ser vice worker will be glad to help Jewels mother write the letter.
