Democratic rivals Susan Bysiewicz and Christopher Murphy are quarreling over using Wall Street money to fuel their campaigns. Bysiewicz has been demanding lately that Murphy return $11,500 in contributions from employees of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its political action committee. The demand is the latest salvo in a relentless barrage

from the Bysiewicz campaign. Bysiewicz is hammering on Murphys fundraising from the financial industry to characterize three-term U.S. representative as one of Wall Streets favorite congressmen. Her campaign has been playing up how the industry has underwritten him since he joined Congress more than $1 million, according to an independent source it cites. This race is about who is going to stand up against Wall Street, said Jonathan

Ducote, Bysiewiczs campaign manager. The Murphy campaign has been pushing back, saying that Bysiewicz is also soliciting and accepting contributions from the financial industry. A review of campaign finance reports reveals Bysiewicz is not shunning Wall Street, despite her constant criticisms of Murphys fundraising. See FUNDS, Page 6A

Bysiewicz has received $250,000 in contributions from individuals working in financial services. Murphy has received nearly $470,000.

OPINION OF THE DAY: Today, it seems a hero is anyone who can shoot a hoop, hit a ball or catch a pass. The real heroes we honor on Memorial Day are the warriors who gave their lives so these so-called heroes of today can make their millions by catching that ball, making that jump shot and scoring that run.

is name is read aloud with the boroughs war dead each Memorial Day and adorns a street sign in the Glendale neighborhood of Naugatuck. Other than that, Brig. Gen. James Leo Dalton II, an assistant division commander in the U.S. Army who was felled by a Japanese snipers bullet during World War II, is barely remembered in the borough. In all of the things Ive done in the past, Ive never heard his name mentioned, said Robert Genovese, who has for decades NAUGATUCK DAILY NEWS been active in borough veterBrig. Gen. James Leo Dalton II ans affairs. Its probably a photographed at age 33 in Luzon, shame. Newspaper articles published Philippines. during the Vietnam War identify Dalton as the highest-ranking Army officer in borough history. At the time of his death in 1945, he was one of the Armys youngest generals, and his superiors told the New York World-Telegram that he might have commanded the Army one day if he had lived. The General, who in his prior command as Regimental Commander for the 161st Regiment had been exposed so many times to extreme danger, was suddenly killed in his moment of triumph, wrote Sgt. James P. Cundari in a 2007 memoir. In a war of this type, even Generals got killed. See HERO, Page 6A

WOLCOTT A battle is brewing over the consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Baseball Association of Wolcott. Former Mayor Steve Bosco asked two association officials if they would put up signs that explicitly ban alcohol from the premises, He purchased the signs especially for the facility. I have a problem with teaching kids sportsmanship when parents are drinking in the stands and start mouthing off, Bosco said. Bosco said two officials with the association, President Dave Desaulniers and Dane Hassan, who is a league commissioner and a state police trooper, told him they would not put up the signs. Hassan, reached Saturday night, asked if a reporters phone call was a prank. He said any decisions about the signs would have to go to the associations board of directors.
