(Continued from Page 1) Byrnes' speech as highlighted by four "won'ts"-the United States won't increase separations against Germany, won't make any more commitments to sacrifice German territory outside the Saar, won't withdraw from Germany and won't continue trying to have Germany run by four powers after a years experience has shown 1t won't work.
 There are many parallels between Byrnes' speech and a statement on Germany made by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov to the Big Four foreign ministers July 10.
 Both men renounced the spirit of revenge toward Germany. Both differentiated between the German people and the Hitlerites, favored increased German production and opposed annihilation of Germany as a state.
 On a crucial German question: the great industrial Ruhr-they are miles apart. On that issue France is on the Soviet side.
 Molotov told the Big Four, "the Ruhr should be placed under an inter-Allied control of four coun- tries. .. the responsibility for the Ruhr cannot rest only upon one of the Allied countries"
 The Ruhr now lies completely within the British occupation zone. Britain is the only occupying power cooperating economically with the United States.
 By contrast, Byrnes said the Ruhr must be subjected to the same se- curity controls as all the rest of Germany and "the United States will not favor any controls that would subject the Ruhr and Rhine land to political domination or manipulation of outside powers"
 Furthermore, Byrnes categorically rejected dismemberment of any part of Germany unless the people were willing. He said the people of the Ruhr want to stay united with Germany.
 Byrnes does not plan to return here until Sunday night. He was spending quiet Saturday in south ern Bavaria, accompanied by Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg (R.- -Mich) and Sen. Tom Connally D.-Tex.). He will reach Paris some time Sunday, probably in time for an- other Big Five meeting on post ponement of the United Nations Assembly.

No one can say at the start of any cold that it is not the beginning of a severe sickness. A so-called cold can be driven into pneumonia or some other serious ailment by improper treatment or by unwise management. Chiropractic treat ments - with important advice - have helped many to get rid of a cold in very reasonable time.

COP

Continued from Page D came as result of Mitchell's an nouncement of his endorsement of McConaughy which he qualified as being only my personal support" Talbot continued his attack to- oay charging Republican State leaders with intimidation and propaganda" to defeat him. The
 line is being held" Talbot re- iterated
 McCOnaughy'S Claims
 McConaughy's supporters claim that on the first ballot he will re- ceive 200 of the 216 Eastern Con- nect1cut votes, 30 of the 106 New Haven County votes, 100 of the 112 Hartford County ballots, 46 of the 92 ballots from Litchfield County and possibly IA of Fairfield Coun- tvs 92.
 Talbot's strength seems scattered with the majority lying within Fairfield, Litchfield and some of New Haven Counties. Perhaps the most severe crack shown in his wall of defense was Bridgeport's an- nouncement that it's 10 delegates would support McConaughy Bridgeport is more or less the key to Fairfield County, in which the Talbot supporters placed consider able confidence.
 The possible slate to be nornin- ated Monday, other than the gov ernorship, lines up as follows:
 Lieutenant Governor: Atty. Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford, Mayor Francis Danaher of Meriden, Ed ward J. Lynch of New Haven.

 U. S. Senator: Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin by unanimous vote of the convention.

Politics
 -M-- Passing

It remains to be seen whether it will be the Republicans or Demo- crats who tumble the ball in this falls classic of the Connecticut gridiron on November 5. The COP will get the first chance next Mon day and Tuesday at Hartford when delegates gather to name candi- dates on the state ticket, as well as those for U. S. Senator and con- gressman-at-large. A week later the Democratic half of the contest will get underway. Republicans are either convinced that any ticket headed by Gov. Raymond E. Bald win can win in Connecticut or they are kidding the Democrats along. The latter is quite unlikely in view of State Chairman Harold Mitchell S recent endorsement of Dr. James L. McConaughy as the gubernatorial candidate of the party. While it failed to dampen the enthusiasm of Talbot supporters, 1t more or less indicated in what direction the powers of the party will go and the direction they will follow Is usually the one followed by the various dele gates.

With such an apparent rift in Republican ranks ahead Demo- crats are still stumbling backwards and forwards. Senator Brien Me Mahon Is certainly not going to endorse Chester Bowles for the governorship and yet he hasn't yet come out for Lieut.. Gov. Wilbert Snow who Is the only other out and -Out candidate in the field with any delegate strength. Demo- cratic policy in their forthcoming convention ought to be unanimous endorsement of slate of candi- dates that would have a definite appeal to each and every side of Connecticut'S many-sided political makeup. The Democrats aren't going to be able to match the Re- publicans In name appeal this year, so their strength lies i'm unity and appeal to all types of voting groups.

The fate of Rep. Joseph E. Tal- bot looked as If it has been signed and sealed this week, although his supporters will die hard and the congressman himself will carry the fight to the floor. Should he win 8 floor contest at Hartford next week 1t could mean the end of the cur rent COP ruling dynasty and cer- tain1y might have tremendous bearing on the political future of Gov Baldwin, who must be regarded as committed now to political ca reer rather than the business one he sought and had secured year or more ago. Republican leaders don't think the Talbot boom, however, fs of such proportions that their plans can be upset. And these don't include the Naugatuck Valley office holder, unless he'd go back to Wash ington again. On such a note as this Democrats are starting their politi- cal paean of 1946.

What with most of the local min- ority parties cris-crossing party lines there's no telling on how many ballots a candidate may appear this fall. The Independent Democrats are the latest to spread their weight around among candidates of differ ent political faiths. The new Tax payers Party was just under the gun in filing its nominating petition with the Town Clerk on Wednesday. That was the last day for filing such signatures. The Town Clerk must now check the names and finding no errors the petition has to be filed with the Secretary of State within . period of at least A days prior to election.

Here in Waterbury interest right now eenters on the Democratic congressional race. It seems to be pretty definite that a Waterbury candidate will get the votes of the local delegation. Whether 1t will be Marine Correspondent Ray Fitzpatrick, Patrick Kelley, for nser congressional secretary Jo- seph Donahue or Col. Bernie" OHara, whose name was first mentioned in this column a week ago, Is something that may ulti- mately have to be decided by a caucus of local delegates. That there will be such 8 caucus is pretty certain because Town Chairman Maurice F. Tangney has made no secret of the fact that he wants such a caucus and he wants the delegates to endorse a local candidate and it's expected that this candidate will be Ray Fitzpatrick. On the other hand the move to interest former Cor poration Counsel J. Gregory Lynch in the congressional race and the late entrance of "Joe" Donahue indicates that all local Demo- cratic leaders don't see eye to eye on this forthcoming nomination.
