Charges Husband
 With Abduction

Sergeant Michael Arnolsky, of the
 fvice squad, stated today that he will ltake up with Prosecutor E. Earle lGarlick this afternoon the possibility of bringing back to this city the hus- band of Mrs. Anna Debris, 19 Pros .pect street, to face a charge of abduc- tion. The husband is alleged to have kidnapped, Christopher, the nine year told son of Mrs. Debris, while the j child was at play Sunday morning.
 According to authoritative informa- [ ton, the couple have been separated i for the past two years and during that time the husband has lived in New Hampshire, returning to Bridgeport ! occasionally on visits. The child and his mother have been living at the Prospect street address. The husband is alleged to have come to town Sun Eday, and since that time neither child or father have been seen.
 The couple are not divorced and tthere seems to be some doubt in the
 mind of the local authorities as to whether he can be arrested, as it is claimed that the child is just as much this as the mothers. The state statue provides, however, that if the child is Kept within the limits of the state no arrests can be made, but as he hus- rhand is alleged to have taken the child ito New Hampshire the probabilities
 are that he will be brought back to face the charge of abduction.

Linwood Avenue
 Remains Closed

Despite the adoption by the Board of Aldermen last night, of a resolu- lion opening Linwood avenue to vehicular traffic, the street remains closed as a safety precaution for school children at the Map1ewood avenue school. Traffic was barred from Linwood avenue during specified 1ours, through a resolution presented to the council a year ago and this resolution still stands in view of the fact that it was not rescinded by the aldermen last night.
 The legal aspects of the situation gave rise to consid derable discussion today, however, and it was asserted by a number of persons that the street can be closed to traffic only by ordi- nance. If this is true, the old resolu ton is invalid. No penalty was pro- vided, in case of a violation of the resolution, but this would have to be done if the street is closed by ordi- nance.
 An arrangement which would pro- vide a way out of the present diff eulty is the establishment of a safety zone in the neighborhood of the Maplewood avenue school. Such a ione has been fixed by the Police de- partment at Main street and Fairfield avenue. and provides ample protec- ton for pedestrians.
