Workman Meets
 With Accident
Joseph Andriano Suffers Muscular Injuries in
 Peculiar Accident

Joseph Andriano, 31. of 667 Wa terville street met with a peculiar accident this morning while working on the Southbury road. He is now under observation at the Waterbury hospital for internal injuries. AL though he was in great pain when admitted to the institution there was no evidence of hemorrhages or defi- mite injuries. The attending doctors are of the opinion that he is suf- fering from severe muscular pains.
 The young man was working on a machine similar to a steam shovel The apparatus was moving slowly along an embankment when 1t came into contact with a hidden rock. The force of the impact apparently un- seated Andriano. He was not thrown, but in some manner he seized hold of one of the connecting cables and chung to 1t. In this way his body was actually stretched. which accounted for the muscular pains. Fellow work men saved him from serious injury. He was hurried to the Waterbury hospital for examination and treat ment.

MANY ARMY POSTS TO BE ABANDONED
 BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, May 21- (UP)- Abandonment. of 53 army posts. valued at $22,O00,000, is contenl- plated by the war department.
 The posts were designed by the general staff after a survey ordered by the president. Their abandon ment, General Douglas MacArthur. chief of staff. said. will contribute to military efficiency as well as econ omy. Only 13 of them now are gar risoned. Others may be added to the list, MacArtfur said.
 Some of the more important posts proposed for abandonment are:
 Forst Rustic, Va: Fort Brown, Brownsville, Tex; Fort Hunt. Va: Camp Harry J. Jones, Ariz; Fort Lincoln, N. D.: Camp stephen D. Little. Ariz: Miller Field. N. Y.: Fort Missoula, Mont; Fort D. A. Russell. Tex, and Chanute Field, Ill.
 Abandonment of these 10 posts alone would involve removal of nearly 5000 officers and enlisted men. Consolidation of army stations has long been desired by the general staff, but political considerations have prevented 1t heretofore. Even now flood of protests from various interests is looked for.
 Further army economies to assist President Hoover in his attempt to cut governmental expenses $150.- 100000 involve abandonment of har- bor defense forts through . new method of Mobile railroad guns and bombing planes instead of the old style stationary cannon.
 The following posts, unoccupied except for caretakers. will be dis posed of entirely:
 Fort Dade. Fla: Fort De Soto. Fla; Key West Barracks. Fla; Fisher mans Island. Va: Fort Ward, Wash: Willapa Bay, Wash: Fort Morgan, Ala: Camp Upton, N. Y.: Camp Lee. Va: Camp Eagle Pass. Tex: Camp Furlong. N. M.: Park Field. Tenn: Carlstrom Field, Fla; and Dorr Field. Fla.

The action was slated for trial in superior court today but after lengthy con- ference between counsel for the in- terested parties. settlement was reported.
 Charles sDeVita, administrator of the. estate of Donate Gaudosi, was the plaintiff ana Mary Cestara, exc cutrix of the estate of her father, James Gizzi, was the defendant.

Mary Cestara, was defendant because she was named executrix of the estate.
 Gizzi was freed by jury on first degree murder charges after one of the most sensational murder trials in the history of the local court. He was defended at the time by Mascolo, Mcknight t& Dauch. The same firm, with Attorney Charles $. Hamilton of New Haven represented

Since 1926 Intoxicated Drivers Have Been on the Wane
 General Run of Accidents Also Fewer Than Formerly, St0ckel Declares

The number of persons arrested and convicted for driving while under' Influence of intoxicating li- quor in Connecticut has decreased slightly in the years since 1926. This decrease is not marked so clearly as the decrease in the commission of other serious offenses against the motor vehicle laws, nor so marked as the decrease in accidents.
 While it appears from statistics" said commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel in asafety bull letin read from WTIC, the Travellers today. "that the punishment order ed by courts and the consequent suspension of license is severe, yet the deterrent effect Is hardly great enough to stamp out the offense. The remedy lies in action of the courts. Courts can punish this of-

 Fornier Is accused of deserting his wife and nine children. A few days ago Lieutenant William Pollard made journey to Caribou, Maine, to bring back young man, who left Waterbury to find employment elsewhere, but who forgot to tell wife where he was going.
 Another local complainant has petitioned the police to locate her husband and compel him to return to Waterbury. He is Somewhere in ole Virginia"
 These free transportation trips home for errant husbands is caus- ing the City of Waterbury plenty of money. The only sentence one charged with non-snpport faces is usually court order to pay some much per week to friend wife and generally some arrangement is made whereby he pays the proba- tion officer. There's no percentage court officials agree in sending a man to jail for non-support. It doesn't help his family and only adds to the expenses of the county in feeding him.

,fense by the imposition, of jail sentence.
 In 1929 there were 23.429 days in jail served for driving while under the influence. In 1880 the. number of days decreased to 14.6O4. This indicates that there ought to be more attention to this offense. It ought to be punished more severely, because if there is. one thing more than any other within the control of an operator, it is this particular willful offense.
 Operating under the influence has been discussed many times. Il would seem that man is enough under the influence of liquor for purposes of discipline when his driving judgment is affected to an extent where it is not normal. An operator is licensed upon the basis

 wise, then it is time for the state to step in through it's courts and
 through it's courts and through its licensing authorities to punish and
 to deprive such person of certain privileges. The punishment admin istered should be sufficiently severe so that he will not do it again for fear of the punishment. The de- privation should include keeping his operators license until it is reason ably certain that he will not again commit an offense which makes him unfit"
