burn and Paul Decoster, who were
plant superintendent and controller
respectively, of the Vardaman Shoe
Co.
Mr.. Reyburn had produced q
minor furry by testifying that his
name on one of the photos was a
direct forgery" Mr.. Decoster
merely asserted his name was not

was forced into bankruptcy few

Vardaman gave him a note and
trust deeds on a farm to adjust this
stock sale claim. Senator Donnell
said originals Of the affidavits then

Williams, attorney for Mr.. Bittner.

Co. and supervised an inventory

asked him to pad" or .tstuff" in

against Mr.. Vardaman that would be
harmful because never knew Nh.
Vardaman to do anything wrong. u

Sheriff Race Close tonight

A Spirited floor fight may result tonight at the New Haven County Democratic sflrievalty convention scheduled for Lyman Hall, Walling- ford at 8. Daniel J. Callahan of Naugatuck and Gabriel Kaspryzcki of New Haven seek the nomination with both candidates claiming a majority vote. The successful norn- inee will seek to succeed Sheriff Ed ward J. Slavin, who does not seek remonination.
 The New Haven nominee has been pledged New Havens IT votes, plus the nominal backing of Polish Amer lcan Democratic organizations throughout the county.
 Callahan has been assured of Wa terbuuy'S 46 votes, plus those of Naugatuck, East Haven, Branford and elsewhere.
 The Waterbury delegation, head ed by local Sheriff Albert Francis as chairman, arranged to leave this afternoon for the convention.
 Opposition of KaSpryscld in this area is based on the fact three New Haveners are already on the State ticket. Callahan is also populr through the Naugatuck Valley area. Some opposition is said to heve de- veloped to Callahan in the Walling- ford area because of Naugatuck's support of Mayor Monagan of Wa terbury during the State convention.
 Martin L. Caine, Naugatuck bor- ough attorney, will nominate Gala han. James P. Brady of New Haven is also candidate but is expected to poll no more than a token vote on the first ballot.

LocoI Meot SupPIyStiII VeryLow
 Time Magazine
 Comments on
 LocoI Conditions

No improvement appeared in prospect in the meat situation here, as wholesalers reported today that only very small shipment of meat had arrived in Waterbury this week.
 One large wholesale house was re- ported to have received between g. 900 and 5000 pounds of veal, but no other meat. The quantity was considered negligible, compared to normal shipments.
 Wholesalers said, however, that the supplies of poultry continue to be sufficient, with plenty of chick ems and turkeys still available.
 The city's acute meat shortage is reported in the current issue of Time Magazine, which states that the Brass City last week had no fresh meat at all" Only Reading, Pa., is named along with Waterbury as having had no fresh meat.
 The weekly publication states that there were only six cities in which the shortage wasn't acute. They are listed as Boise, Idaho; Tallahassee, Fla, Douglas, Ariz.; /; and Austin, Corpus Christie and Laredo, Texas.

Patent Button Files General Denial Todov
 Joins ScoviII Go.
 In Responding to
 Federal Charges

A general denial was filed by the Patent Button Company of Water bury today to the allegations of the U. s. Government in its antitrust suit against the industrial firm. A similar answer had been filed earlier this week by the Scovill Manufac- turing Company, which is a defen- dant in similar suit.
 Since neither firm has entered a special defense to the government charges, no further pleadings will be necessary, and the cases are expected to be claimed for a hear ing in the Federal Court in Hart ford shortly.
 The answers of both firms were filed with the clerk in the U. S. District Court in New Haven, and have been sent to the Hartford Court.
 The government claims that the firms have attempted to monopolize the button fastener industry by limiting the leasing of certain ma chinery for attachcing buttons and other fasteners to clothing only to those purchasers who also have bought all fasteners from them.
