No permission for distribution of handbills in the streets of Wa terbury will be granted to any orr. ganization, communistic or other wise, it was stated by Superintend- ent of Police Joseph H. Mclean this morning in answer to a query as to whether or not such permis- sion would be granted to a com munist, group. headed by Joseph Campbell, who have announced that they will call on the police chief tomorrow.

OFFICER SUE FERS FRACTURED FINGER

Just to prove that policemen are regular fellows after all, Patrol man Dennis Carey went on the stand in city court this morning to tell Judge John F. McGrath that broken finger which he suf- fered while arresting an intoxi- cated man last night was received accidentally, and the accident was not the fault of the man he, was arresting.
 It would have been quite easy, thought those in city court. for the policeman to claim that the prisoner had battled him fierceiy and that in tho scuffle he had broken the officers finger. But in- stead, the policeman said: Tt wasn't his fault: he fell against me accidentally"
 Judge McGrath continued the case.

The recent regula- tion forbidding these met the fire of tavern operators all over the state but the only official and open opposition was launched in this city by the Brass City branch of the Retail Beer, Wine and Liquor Merchants association.
 What Petition Says
 The petition, addressed formally to the governor, asks that he in- struct the liquor commission or suggest officially modification and Liberalization of the present liquor laws so as to allow the serving in taverns and restaurants of liquors other than beer. ale and wine.''
 As soon as the petition is well in circulation in this city, counter parts of 1t will be placed before residents and voters in other cities of the state. Plans have not yet been completed as to the means of circulation in this city but it IS believed that it will be arranged later today.
 With the backing of those who sign the petition, the state associa- ton will undoubtedly be in astrong position when the state conventios of both political parties are held prior to the election campaign. When the petitions all over the state have been finally totalled. officials believe that they will have an amazingly large list of names, and conseuuently. votes.

 dramatic and operatic field. Not only had Father Murphy wide knowledge of stage technique but he was a close friend of many of Broadway's leading lights of those years and invariably the plays put on by Sacred Heart groups were ones in which famous stars had scored hits that very season.
 Produced Stage Events
 The old city hall auditorium and Jacques theater were the scenes of many amateur produc- tions which are still placed high on the city's dramatic honor roll. Fa- ther Murphy was often told by theatrical men that he could cas- fly have become one of the best actors or producers in the theater, so well-done were the plays which were staged under his coaching and supervision.
 A skilled musician and singer, he himself was we'll versed in many fields of accomplishment. He was a splendid orator and an efficient parish priest. Few priests, before or since, have achieved such wide measure of popularity as did Fa- ther Murphy while he was at the Sacred Heart church under the pastorate of the equally beloved Rev. Hugh Treanor.
 The passing of Father Murphy will be deeply mourned by the old- CT residents of the city, who still recall him as a priest and friend.

Lott and StOefen Took the Match TO-day-SingIes
 to Be Played Tuesday

Wimbledon, England, July 3O.-- (UP,--America clung to it's slen- der chance of regaining the Davis cup to-day by winning the one dou- bles match of the challenge round with England.
 Forced into extra games in the first set, George Martin Lott of Chicago and Lester Rollo Stoefen of Los Angeles went on to win 7-5 so. 4-6. 9-7, over the English combinaton of George Patrick Hughes and Harold George Norman Lee.
 The challenge round now stands at two victories for England and one for the United States. The outcome will be determined to-mor- row when the final singles matches are played. England can retain the historic trophy by winning either of these matches. America needs both to regain it.
 The final singles matches will pit Frank Shields against Fred Perry, England's ace, and Sidney Wood against H. w. (Bunny) Austin, No 2 man of the British squad.
 While Wood is conceded a fair chance against Bunny, Shields would score an abiding upset if he were to top Perry who is rated as the worlds No 1~amateur player.

A four star hit, one of the finest dramatic masterpieces of the year. is to be seen today and tomorrow at Warmers State theater,
 Which course offers the greater chance for happiness-to allow the heart to rule the mind. or to gov ern the heart by dictates of the mind?
 One dramatic answer is given to that question in RKO-Radio's ver- sion of the famous Somerset Vaughan novel, "Of Human Bond- age," in which Leslie Howard plays the starring role. And the answer is not the usual fictional outcome which throws the decision for hap piness to the heart.
 Howard has the role of a bril- liant, sensitive youth who allows his heart to place him in human bondage" to a cheap. selfish and ut tedly unworthy woman. His mind rebels against this strangely cruel domination, but he is unable to throw off the yoke imposed by his heart. It takes a dramatic turn of fate to free him for eventual hap mess.
 Bette Davis plays the selfish and beautiful girl who exertS the strange spell, and other feminine principals in the powerful drama are Kay Johnson and Frances Dee. Male supporting roles are carried by Reginald Denny, Alan Hale, Reg inald Sheffield and Reginald owen.
