Waldron Begins
 Six Months Stay
 Behind Jail Bars

George D. Waldron. possessed with a record that is q record with a de- meanor that shows not much worry, and with enough trouble outside Connecticut to keep him in various and sundry jail houses for some time to come, will start his behind the bar travels, today. by a six months stay in the Fairfield county Jail.
 He is charged with forgery, having used the signature of the C. X w garage in the South End. on check for S45- He also operated in Nor walk, is wanted by New Jersey au- thortties. and is a deserter from the United States navy. Outside of that and getting in trouble with a married woman while his ship was in Brook lyn, Waldron hasn't got q thing be- fore him.
 He may consider his stay in Bridge port as a preparation for what is in store for him, because of his record. there seems no disposition upon the part of the authorities of any of the places where he operated, being lenient with him.

Extra Supply
 Of Apparatus .. Rushed To Fire

An overloaded can of grease which caught fire and ignited a chimney fue was responsible for fire which broke out about noon today in the Star Lunch at PAP Fairfield avenue. Thoughts of another fire in the cen ter of the city such as recently gut ted the Republic restaurant caused Chief Johnson to rush an extra supply of fire apparatus to the scene
 By the time the f1remen arrived the blaze had made great headway and was creeping upstairs to the Helen apartments. Two lines of hose were imme mediately rushed upstairs and the fremen with the aid of axes and crow bars soon ripped up the burning DOT tion of the floor.
 The large amount of smoke pouring from the restaurant caused a large crowd to gather. Policemen. how ever, held the crowd in check and the hremen were not hampered in any way in their work.
 The building is the property Of Geo. B. Clark The restaurant is run by Peter Rapp1ine and Frank Canevari.
 Rev. Father Michael Thompson, for merly a member of the Waterbury fire department, and recently elected chaplain of the Bridgeport Fire De- partment, aided the f1remen in their efforts to extinguish the flames.
