ITALIANS MURDER
Being Cleared UP
Slain for Vengeance Is Belief
Of Police

New York. Dec. II (UP)-The
murder Of a young Italian and his
wife was partly cleared up today as
police pieced together hypotheti-
cal case Of gang vengeance and
started search for one suspect.
The bodies OF soro Graxiano and
his wife. Mary. Is. were found Sat-
urday at Franklin Square, Long Is
land. Both had been shot to death.
The bodies were near q deserted
bungalow on the outskirts of Frank
lin Square.
Vengeance Motive
The theory that the Graziandos
were murdered for vengeance was
based on the fact that Graziano had
once been arrested for q hold-up
and had escaped prosecution while
four other persons went on trial for
the crime.
4. Police records are not specific as
to why Graziano was not tried, but
It is believed he was granted Inn
munity because he furnished valu-
able information to police.
Another clue was furnished by
relatives Of the slain couple who
said Mrs. Graziano had once told
them:
IF anything ever happens to me
or Soro, look for Pliers.''
County detectives have Identified
pliers as Frank PLATA, who was
indicted with Graziano and Thomas
Chrome as members of a gang that
held up the Thorn McAnn shoestore
on July 2.
Gets 20 Years
PLATA was acquitted. but Chrome
was sentenced to 20 years imprison-
ment.
Graziano was never brought to
trial.
The story reconstructed by police
Is that Graz.ano and his wife were
slain either because they knew too
much about the McAnn robbery or
that other persons involved in the
holdup took the lives OF the couple
because Graziano escaped trial
after being indicted.
Salvatore Esposito. owner OF the
bungalow near which the bodies
were found. is under suspicion OF
having known the participants in
the crime although he is not sus-
pected Of having been at the scene
Of the shooting.
The Grazianos had been married
IS months.

right now Is that of handling letters
addressed Mrs. Blank, Such and
Such street"
II Mrs. Blanks letter falls into the
hands OF q carrier who does not
know her. he passes it on until it
makes the rounds OF all the carriers.
II 1t Is busy day he probably lays
it aside until he gets time to handle
it and hundreds Of others just like it.
Then. II no carrier knows her. and
it sometimes takes two or three days
for the letter to go the rounds OF all
the carriers. 1t goes out onto the
street and each carrier on the street
makes an effort to locate Mrs. Blank.
II he leaves the letter at house on
the morning delivery and gets it on
his afternoon delivery. it might take
a week or more before the letter
reaches the right party.
II Mrs. Blank lives on Stanley
street she resides on thoroughfare
which extends all the way from
Kensington to West Hartford. and
according to City Engineer Philip A..
Merriam Is ~ miles long This street
Is served by eight different mail car
riers. II she lives on West Main
street she resides on street which
runs from the center Of the city
clear out past Barnesdale to the
Plainville city line and is served by
FIVE different carriers. South Main
street starts at Franklin square and
runs to the Berlin line and has fve
carriers. Other long streets are in
similar situation.
The only way to make sure the
mall is delivered in reasonable time
according to the postal official is to
see that it is properly addressed with
street and number. and full name,
and with return address.

third and two-thirds of the $4,000
or $4,000 a years taken as a STAN
card for the economic level for q
professor according to report on
income and living coasts OF the
faculty prepared by Professor Yam
dell Henderson and Maurice r.
Davie.
President James Rowland Angel
in foreword to the report which
was prepared for the Yale chapter
Of the American association of I'M
iversity professors, says in part.
the problem presented by academic
salaries is, in many ways, the most
urgent now confronting American
education. Plenty of competent men
are quite ready to live themselves
on extremely modest stipends in re-
turn for the intrinsic reward which
they find in scholarly life. But
they rightfully hesitate to subject
their wives to the prospect of un-
RENTING physical drudgery and
their children to the limitations of
the underprivileged in a time of
general financial prosperity
The report is based on question
naire TO which So present Of the
Yale Faculty replied.
Professors Henderson and Davie
took as standard for the econ
omic level for a professor after IS
years OF service, the amount Of
money Necessary to maintain q home
in a ten-room house which he owns
free OF mortgage, to keep one serv-
ant and pay for some occasional
service and to provide an education
for his children In preparatory

GIRLS FOUND DEAD
ON ANNAPOLIS ROAD
Relieved to Have Been Victims Of q
Criminal Attack or
Automobile.

Baltimore. Md, Dec. II up
Carefully laid out within q few feet
of each other at the side of the IN
napolis road. two young girls today
were found dead. their heads crush
ed and their dresses torn off.
Police believe they were the VIC
Tins of either a hit and run driver
or of criminal attack. An exam
ination for evidence OF the latter
will be made by the coroner late
today.
1t was taken for granted at first
that they had been struck by an
automobile but further investigation
failed to uncover anything to SUBJ
stantiate that theory.
A search of the road for several
hundred yards showed no traces OF
blood or broken glass. Neither did
the road show marks OF auto brakes
suddenly applied nor any bits of torn
clothing.
The girls, who had been missing
from their homes for IL hours when
found. were identified at a Glen
burnie morgue as Maria Stolba. Is,
and Thelrtta Vlack. Is. of Anne
Arundel county.
