LOCAL CHAPTER
 WAR VETERANS
|Will Hold Important Meet ing at American Legion
 Home Tonight
TO DISCUSS NEW LAW

The Waterbury Chapter of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War will have repre- sentatives present in their room tonight at the American Legion home between 6 and o'clock to ed disabilities who have been cut Congress, in filing appeals and in filing for a personal appearance before the special board at Newing- ington.
 The representatives of the chap ter who have been selected for this work are thoroughly familiar with all phases of the new veterans laws. Every disabled man who was drawing compensation and who has been notified that he is to be cut off on October 31. should make an effort to attend to-night's session and meet the D. A. V. rep- resentative.
 The local chapter wants 1t clear ly understood that 1t is not neces- sary to be a D. A. V. member to be elegible to this service. The D. A. V. was organized to be of service to the veteran with a ser- vice connected disability. This is the sole purpose of the organiza- ton and the D. A. V. of this city are at all times ready to assist disabled men with legitimate cases.
 Less than one-fourth of those veterans who have been notified that their cases are to be consid- cred by the special boards have requested an opportunity for mak- ing a personal appearance of pre- senting evidence, or being repre- sented by Q service organization.
 Many claimants. could, if they know how, submit additional evi- dence which might prove helpful in the adjudication of their claims.

Look out for the chap, who has a "plr and can fix anything one wishes with the national recovery administration or who Is seeking financial aid to boost the move- ment in Waterbury and Connecti- cut.
 As several complaints have been made to the local committee that Waterburians have been approach ed and asked to contribute to e plan to give splendid advertising to the MIRA program, 1t has been found advisable for the committee to make the following announce ment:
 The national recovery admins. tration today issued a warning against persons mierepresenting themselves as being able to facili- tate business with that organiza- : ton.
 The implication that any indi- vidual or group has an 'in' with the MIRA or can use Influence to fix" transactions of whatever na- ture is bunk.
 General Johnson has so stated repeatedly, but in order that these reports may be finally spiked, the control division of MIRA today out lined the simple procedure which pedite the formulation, submission and final approval of a code. Any other procedure, especially any in. volving the services of lobbyists Is a needless waste of time and money.
 Industries seeking to draft codes of fair competition will have every assistance of Q corps of experts in these matters simply by communi- eating with Major A. Health On- thank, chief of the control divi- sion of the national recovery ad- ministration. There are no charges, fees or assessments of any kind for this service.
 The house. to house campaign has netted to date 20,475 consum- CTS pledge cards. They bear the signatures of an army of deter mined housewives who havo pledged themselves to patronize only stores displaying the "Blue Eagle" The committee intends to swell tho present number to 25,000 or 30,000. Cards are to be distrib- uted among the industrial and business firms of the city, with the request that the men do their bit and sign up.
 This evening at 8 o'clock In the Chamber of Commerce building a meeting of the Employing Printers of Waterbury and vicinity will be held for the purpose of discussing g action on the MIRA. Tomorrow evening at o'clock the Master Painters of Waterbury will meet in the Chamber of Commerce hall. A town meeting in Middlebury tonight will be addressed by Miss Mary c. L. Phelan and Roy A. Fer

I Levesque drove off the road there was no traffic at that point going in either direction. M Levesque and Eddy succeeded in getting out of the car and stopped a Waterbury bound Connecticpt Company car, which was just com tor of that car endeavored to ns- sist them in raising the ear, but
 was unable to do so. A short time later other automobiles coming along, the operators and .paasen- gers in them got out and helped
 them raise the car off Anderson'H body and he was taken out of the car, placed in another car and
 hurried at once to St. Mary's hos- pital in Waterbury where he was found to be dead upon arrival
 The marks of Levesque's tires
 On the highway indicated that he
 was travelling at an extremely high rate of speed and was unable to
 make the swide, sweeping turn to I the left where the road passes | through the Notch. but Instead ran 1 across the two sets of trolley tracks and turned over on the bank at tho
 south side of the Connecticut com
 pany right of way.
 There was always considerable doubt in my mind as to what Lev i csquo's condition was at the time | this accident occurred. For that
 reason I did not make my report.
 hoping to be able to find one or
 more other witnesses who could
 clear this situation up. A very
 short time ago James Phillips ap-
 peared at the Waldorf Lunch
 where Levesque works and Lev-
 esque knew at once that he was the
 man who had driven him into Wat whose identity had not been estab- learned 1t was reported to me and I got in touch with Phillips and had him come in and make state-
 ment as to Levesque's condition immediately after the. accident
 when he brought him into Water
 bury. This clarified any question | of his being under the influence Of
 liquor for Phillips definitely estab-
 iished that he was not.
 I find that said death was caused by comminuted fractures of ol the bones of the skull with probable lacerated brain. received when de-
 ceased was pinned under the auto
 mobile operated by Rene LcvesQue
 and that at the time of said ncci- dent said Levesque was driving at
 such a high rate of speed that he
 was unable to control his car and
 make the curve and that upon
 striking the trolley track the cnr turned over. And that said death
 was caused by the gross and crin..
 inal negligence of said Levcsque.'
