ballot to be followed by the swing of the local delegates whichever cam didate seemed to hold formidable lead after the first balloting.
 What criticism appeared among the local delegates was based on the belief that the Waterbury leaders delayed too long in jumping over to Snow when it. was apparent the tide was going his way. * -E
 Some Division Reported
 Town Chairman Maurice F. Tang ney presented Waterbury's votes for Monagan as City Comptroller Neil F. Maloney, party secretary, stood by.
 The Snow victory is reported to have left some division within the Party particularly in the Hartford and New Haven areas. Also said to be disappointed is Judge Charles Mahoney of Windsor who swung his delegates to Snow and hoped for a lieutenant governorship in return.
 State Party Chairman John A. McGuire seems destined to be busted in favor of John J. Tynan, Middle town assessor, town chairman and chief campaigner for Snow, accord ing to the United Pless today.
 Consensus was today that the "big city" leaders had better forget dif- ferences to support the slate if vic- tory was to be gained in November.
 Senator McMahon predicted Democratic victory in the Fall and promised an aN-out campaign to as- sure it.

 But on the way here from Wash mgton by plane T reflected at l0,- 900 feet on a certain atomic dis turbance that happened in this town in recent days and I decided to con- sign my immortal prose to obscur- ity," Forrestal said.
 He made an extemporaneous talk instead. praising Byrnes as "a great American wlp has served this coun- try well. if the world will permit 1t. he will serve it equally we'll"

We ask that a rest cen- ter be put at the disposal of the great majority who have nowhere to go."

 BIomes Owners
 For Deadlock

New York, Sept. 1s-(UP)-The Strike Policy Committee of the Ma t1onal Maritime Union co. I. O. met in special session today as A. F. L.-Manned ships. prepared to leave East and Gulf Coast harbors for the first time in two weeks. N. M. U. President Joseph Curran ordered tie executive board of the Committee for Maritime Unity to meet "to examine the present posi- tion of the shipowners with view toward formulating a program to break the deadlock" in the maritime strike which still kept 75 percent of the nations merchant marine im- mobilized.
 Return of A. F. L. men yesterday released about 300 American ships and all foreign vessels tied up in East and Gulf Coast ports. All ves- sels continued to be tied up on the West Coast where operators refused to bargain with the 0. I. O. strikers until they return to work.
 Curran said responsibility for the continuation of the walkout rested with John B. Bryan, chairman of the Pacific-American Ship Owners Association.
 The Association has refused to bargain with the striking Pacific Coast unions, the Marine Cooks and Stewards co. I. O. and the inde- pendent Marine Bremen, both of which are affiliated with the o. I. o. Committee for Maritime Unity. Re- fusal of members of the Sailors Union of the Pacific GA. F. L.) to cross c. I. o. picket lines on the West Coast has kept all ships tied up there.
 No negotiations are being carried on anywhere.

US. Works On raitors
 Officials Seek
 Indictments

Washington, Sept. 1s.-(UP- High Justice Department officials indicated today the government soon will be ready to seek treason indictments against additional Americans who aided the Axis dur ing the war.
 They said many persons whose names have never been disclosed are now being investigated for reasonable activities in Germany, Italy and Japan. When the rfeces- Sary facts and witnesses can be gathered. they will be formally prosecuted.
 The existence of additional treason cases was disclosed follow ing the announcement that two men already indicted on the infamous charge are being brought back here from Germany to stand trial.
 They are Robert Best, formerly of Sumter, s. O., one-time newspa- per correspondent, and Douglas Chandler, formerly of Baltimore, Md. In their cases, new indictments to include new facts probably will be asked.

Jap War Criminals Try Best to Shield HirOhitO

Tokyo, Sept. 18 - (UP) - Most of the 27 top war crimes trial de- fendants, including former Premier Hideki Tojo, have told their attor- neys they would rather die than duplicate Emperor Hirohito in pos sible war guilt, the United Press learned today.
 Some defendants are preparing lengthy statements in their own de- fense, to present at later court ses- SionS. Many of these documents open with memorandums which in effect declare nothing must be done in my defense which would re- fleet upon the emperor"
 It is not known whether any have deliberately withheld information from their attorneys in an effort to shield Hirohito. However, in private their attorneys have complained that their clients appear to be de- liberately concealing information needed if 6 proper defense is to be made.
 Contest Documents
 At today'S court session defense counsel vigorously contested the au- thenticity of purported Japanese government documents which the prosecution had introduced earlier in an effort to show the extent of Japanese army atrocities against Allied prisoners of war.
 The defense attempted to show these documents actually were fak- ed by Japanese officers who were involved in the atrocities, in an ef- fort to shift the blame to the Tokyo high command, including many of the present defendants.
 During further questioning of British Col. Cyril Wild, he admit ted that the mistreatment of Allied prisoners of war often depended on the attitude of individual Japanese guards.

gation that British army officers had directed military operations of Chinese Communists designed to disrupt Japanese supply lines dur ing the war.
 Before today's sessions 1t was learned that the prosecution plans to offer as evidence transcript of the conversation between Benito Mussolini, former Italian dictator, and other high Axis officials in which Russia was invited to join in the Axis world conquest scheme.
 The transcript also records dis cussion among Axis officials of the extent to which the democracies were prepared for war.

 Just prior to the balloting, U. S Sen. Brien McMahon told this writer that it was "anyone's victory" and the convention was proof that 8 democratic proceed prevailed among the Party members"
 With the main contest quickly dis posed of, the convention gave the "short term" nomination as U. s senator to former four-term Gov Wilbur L. Cross, and the regular term nomination to former State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone. Republicans a week ago nominated Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin for both terms and, if he is elected accord ing to the United Press he will out rank Democratic Sen. McMahon. In splitting the nominations, Democrats preser we'd McMahon's seniority, should his party win.
 The remainder of the slate is:
 Lieutenant Governor: Atty. Ste- phen K. Elliott, a Navy veteran, Town Judge of Southington and member of the Mascolo law firm of Waterbury.
 Attorney General: James J. OCon- nell of Bridgeport, common pleas court prosecutor of the Fairfield County area.
 Secretary of State: Charles J. Prestia of New Britain, incumbent.
 State Treasurer: William T. Car roll of Torrington, incumbent.
 State Comptroller: Raymond s. Thatcher of East Hampton incun1- bent.
 Congressman- -at-large: Joseph F. Ryter of Hartford, incumbent.
 Excitement High
 It was tense and exciting con- vention prior to the first balloting on the gubernatorial candidates. Professor Snow paced the back stage area of Bushnell while Bowles re- mained In small room just off stage. The First Congressional Dis- trict balloting was overwhelmingly for Snow by a count of 199 to Bowles' 52, Dodd's A and Monagh- ans 5. The small towns with their votes of 3 and 3 and 5 were solidly in support of the Wesleyan profess sor. Hartford split it's 30 delegates with 34 for Snow, 29 for Bowles and 19 for Dodd.
 The gap was widened for Snow following the totaling of the bal lots of the Second Congressional District as the Party's successful nominee received 154 to Bowles' 531z and Dodd's 491z.
 The Third Congressional District, with the larger cities such as New Haven, Meriden, West Haven, swung to Bowles giving him total of 121 to Shows 68, Dodd's and Mona gan's 4.
 The Fourth Congressional District, with large cities such as Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk, Stamford, Green wich, went heavily for Bowles giving him 194 to Shows 21, Phillips, 21 and Monagan's g.
 Fifth Widely Split
 In the Fifth District, containing Waterbury's delegation, the total was 79 for Snow, 28 for Bowles. 12 for Dodd and 66 for Mayor Monagan.
 It was obviously the small towns that gave Snow his grip on the lead, tribute to his widespread popular ity among such delegates in view of the favoritism shown Bowles by such formidable blocs as Bridgeport, New Haven. etc. Waterbury's 46 votes if cast for Bowles might well have swung the trend toward the Bowles' camp on second ballot.
 The Waterbury bloc was uncom- mitted to any candidate prior to the first ballot. J. Francis Smith, party leader, decided on presenting Mayor Monagan for governor on the first
