Local TaxiDrivers Assist Travellers Aid

The Travellers Aid Society, which is a member of the Community Chest, in a statement issued today from the Community Chest Headquarters, em- phasizes the fact that it Is a national agency, which serves Bridgeport the more effectively because it has agents in all the principal cities in the coun- try with whom the local worker' Mrs. Sturgis and her colleague, can communicate in helping traveIers' particularly unprotected girls Who are making trips from one part oI the country to another.
 It should be particularly under stood that the story of the particular case helped by the National Travei CTS Aid Society, which was described on page of the Bridgeport Times on May 4, describing a young gl-i who was being misdirected by an un- scrupulous taxi-cab driver had mo reference whatever to any occurrence which happened in Bridgeport, nor to any of the tax drivers at the Bridge port station: A careful reading of the article will show that 1t referred rather to the work of the association in New York and other cities.
 It would be contrary to the policy of the Travellers Aid Society or any other social agency to publish the details as to a local case in Bridge port, as these details might Identify the person who was helped. and give undesired publicity to those whom the society Is resiring to secretly helD

CORONER PHELAN FINDS
 NO CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY

Coroner John J. Phelan finds no criminal responsibility in either of two cases on which his decision is made publicyesterday. The first inves- tigation covered the death of Charles Saurno, Stamford. who died in the Stamford hospital at S:02 a. n., May 2 following a, horrible injury when struck by Birney safety car on Shippan avenue. Stamford, April 29. The car was operated by Harry Pur- dy. 576 Main street, Stamford
 The second finding covered the kill ing of Stephen Norko. eight years old, 31 Weber street, who was crossing Boston avenue at Sheridan street. May 3. at l7:45 a. m. enroute to school with three others. The lad became confused and the driver of the truck, Irving Byelas, 22o Parrott avenue, instead of stopping. tried to guess which way the boy was going. He guessed wrong. The truck ran no feet after the accident, but this was explained by stating that the driver wished to pull up at the curb before stopping. George Bye1as owned the truck which was going at speed of between 5 and 25 miles an hour.
