NIGHT !
 CAR PARKING
Constitutes Hazard for Lahey and Capt
 Russell
CONDITIONS IMPROVING

A protest against the ''preval- ent custom of parking cars on the streets all night" was filed yester- day afternoon with the board Of police commissioners. Ano her complaint which was mildly voiced in request for a more equitable distribution of towing activities was also received and referred to the traffic committee of the board.
 The protest against all night parking is nothing new, but the possibilities of collisions, of fire hazards, thefts of cars or articles In the machines was more forcivly emphasized this time. The letter from the Naugatuck Valley Auto mobile Service Mems Association and Automobile Dealers, stated that most of the cars which are left on the streets in dangerous positions at night are from out of town.
 Concerning the towing activities the letter stated that owners of cars should be permitted to state where their cars are to be taken following accidents. If no pre- ference is made the damaged ma chine should be taken to the near est service station. For years the police have always designated the place where disabled cars of re- covered machines are taken for inspection. In both protests men, tion was made of the high rates of insurance covering liability. collison and theft which Waterbury has been called upon to pay.
 A letter of praise was received by the board of fire commissioners for the splendid efforts of the fire marshaps office for it's recent work in Waterbury, inspections, elimination of fire hazards and general improvement of conditions. The Eastern Underwriters inspec- ton bureau was the author of the letter. M. H. Warner, an inspec- tor of the bureau, has completed an inspection of the city and found everything far more favorable than on former visits. Fire Marshal D. J. Lahey and Captain William Rus sel were deserving of special com mendation, MT Warner believes.
 Private Patrick Bowling was reinstated as member of the fire department after q years en- forced vacation for a violation of the rule of the department.

.s Professor Albert Levitt, inde- pendent candidate for governor, Professor Richard Joyce smith of Hartford, representing the demo-. cratic party, Attorney T. V. Meyer of this city, g. O.. D. nominee TOT senator in the 18th, Charles Cras- nitsky, speaking for the communist party. and Arnold Freese of Nor walk. socialist candidate for con-
 gress in the 4th district, delivered addresses last night at meeting Of the local League of Women Voters in Mattatuck hall. It was an 'in- ter-party" night and each of the sneakers set forth the aims of his respective organization. Mrs Jos- eph Davis, who presided, was ob- lired to halt Professor Levitt when he attacked Judge Meyer and Fro lessor Smith on the grounds that no personalities were permissible.
 Professor Smith pointed out that the democrats claim that the re- publicans have failed in their promises and in leadership and that the g. 0. p. platform is that of the status quo don't interfere and you will be prosperous" The de.
 presslon, he stated, has shown how ridiculous this is. The democratic aim is a balanced tariff sufficient to maintain the United States on a seIf-sustaining basis.
 Mir Crasnitsky told the gathering that tariff doesn't mean Q thing to him for as far as 1t concerns him he is not benefiting much! He earns $3.G0 a week to support him self and his family, he explained. He said he doubted whether the election of a democrat or republi. can as president would make much difference.
 Judge Meyer cited the means sponsored by Hoover to combat the depression and added that most or them had been defeated by demo- cratic opposition. In the last con gross. he said, the democratic ma iority in the house did all in It's power to obstruct the president and sought to ruin the country by wastefui appropriations. i Professor Levitt asked why Gov ernor Cross didn't stop talking that he could do nothing and get a loan from the Reconstruction Finance corporation and put men to work. He pledged the independent party to stop talking and get action. He waxed sarcastic over Senator Bing- hams solicitude for bills protecting
 miqratory birds while turning q deaf ear to bills for the care oi ,,others and the abolition of child labor. He charged that children
 were dying in tobacco fields Of the state but that Bingham voted oeainst the child labor bill. He also referred to the 2. Q. ?. legisiaturse rcfusing to place Professor Smith or inc public utilities commission
 when he was recommenaen ns c"vsrnor Cross. He charged that Judge Meyer will not Do independ'

Sees Lack Of Full Caution In
 Vallette Killing
While Symtf Fails to Find Criminal Negligence, Deci- ! sion Admits Driver Could Have Been More
 Cautious In Operation of Truck

was standing on the step of his truck facing westerly and the de- ceased stood on the ground directly in back of the truck facing east erly preparatory to taking a piece of ice from Sciota for delivery at 10 Branch street..
 Budchik came out of the store. got into the bakery truck, and started to back up, his intention being to back into Grant street and turn around. When Budcfik parked his truck and before he went into the store Sciota had not yet arrived. The two trucks were about twenty-five feet apart and neither .Sciota nor the deceased heard Budchik start his truck or saw 1t in motion as they were fac- ing the opposite direction.
 The truck Budchik was operat- ing was properly equipped with a reflector. There were two win- dows in the rear of the bakery truck, but due to the fact that Bud clhk had load of bread on his truck, he could not see Sciota or
 Valiette through these windows. Before backing his truck Budchik looked around, but due to the man. ner in which the Sciota truck was parked he was unable to see 1t nor could he see the deceased or Ccfota standing in the rear of the
 truck. The bakery truck Is a, least four and Q half feet wide in the rear and the extreme right rear corner struck the right, rear
 corner of the ice truck, crushing Vallette between the two vehicles The physical facts clearly indicate that the rear of Sciota's truck ex- , tended at least four and a half te five feet out from the northerly curb of Branch street.
 l In backing his truck Budchik did not use all the care required of the situation, but I do not fint
 such omission to be criminal. Val lette was taken at once to S
 Mary's hospital where he died al 8:20 a. m.
 I find that the death of the satt Nupzio Vallette was caused by 6 | fracture of the pelvis and interna l injuries when he was struck Dy the truck operated by Faddey Bud chik and crushed against thu
 parked truck of Theodore Sciota on Branch street and the morning of September 26tn, but that sait death was not due to the crim:' nal negligence of the said Theo
 dore Sciota or of the said Fadde; | Budchik.

PRE-MAY DAY INCIDENTS EXPECTED RESULT IN
 FEW DEVELOPMENTS

SEATTLE, April 30. (P) IT May Day throughout the world appear ed today to be due for an unusual amount of incidents as final touch es were being given plans. The first scare regarding probable May Day incidents came from Vancou- yer, B. C., where it is reported that communists stole 1000 pounds of dynamite from a powder magazine at Ashcroft and are enroute to Vancouver to stage their May Day celebration.
 Further probable communistic activities were revealed when po- lice were warned that they might commander railroad trains on that day in the vicinity of Kam- loops, to further make May Day a day of celebration.
 Taking a hop to the United States southern neighbor. South America, we find that Chile also will probably have her share of ex- citement. Soldiers of that country were called out today as a precau- tion against possible uprisings on May Day.
 Returning to the United States we find that a giant mass meeting is planned for New York with Nor man Thomas, Socialist leader, as the principle speaker Many other cities and various other countries are expecting extensive events as May Day is International Labor Day.
