BANDITS ROBBED
WESTBROOK OFFICE

Bandits paid Cottonwood county
the compliments of two calls recent
ly, robbing the Westbrook postoffice
one morning and getting away with
a good haul and making an unsuc-
cessful attempt at robbing the State
Bank of Bingham Lake.
The gang that visited Westbrook
were professionals. They gained en-
trance by jimmying back window,
and once inside, drilled small hole
just below the dial on the safe,
poured in nitro-gycerin, stuck the
fuse through the drilled hole, care
fully wadding the outside with soap,
used mail bags to muffle the report
and then set it off.
The postoffce clock stopped at
1:45, which is probably the time
the job was pulled. 1t was a careful
job and man living next door to
the postofice did not hear a noise.
The robbers got away with $128.29
in cash, $326.80 in stamps, some
checks, money order, some regist-
CICu Il0li, live Y6.OV SO1O p1CSCo1
some old coins, cancelled stamps, a
diamond ring and some personal
papers Of Postmaster John Ross.
They left no fngerprints.
Robbers who attempted to loot the
bank at Bingham Lake met with
poorer luck. They secured crow
bars, chisels and other tools and
went about their work attempting to
open the safe. It was a steel safe,
with time lock set to open Wednes-
day and its steel walls were four
inches thick. The robbers, it is be-
lieved left as soon as they discovered
it impossible to open the safe with
out explosives. There was a small
amount of loose change in the bank
but it was not taken.

TEXTILE WALKOUT
 MAY AFFECT CITY
General Strike Results, Locally, However, Will
 Not Be Felt Much

The textile strike throughout the country will have little direct effect on Waterbury and surround ing towns as far as industries are concerned. survey today showed. There are no textile manufactur- ing plants in this city and only a few factories which manufactu allied products.
 Naugatuck's U. s. Rubber com pany uses much textile material in its operations but has a supply on hand sufficient to last for some time. Most of the local stores, it was learned today, are well-enough stocked to handle normal demands for retail textile goods for an in- definite period.
 Unions in Naugatuck valley towns which are associated with the Textile Workers union are few and mainly inactive. Most promi- nent is that of a Ladies' Under- garment union plant on Clay street here.
 The textile strike, in general, will probably affect Waterbury much less than other cities in the coun- try. Massachusetts towns will be particularly hard hit.

SMOKEY EYES IN
 EVIDENCE TODAY
Eight Men Pass Out of
 Picture in Library Park

There was lot of smoke at Li- brary park late yesterday after noon but it wasn't the kind that gets in peoples eyes Instead it was the potent, lethal cheap alcoholic beverage which gives a jag" for quarter. This morning in city court, the eight smoke lovers held hands to throbbing heads as Judge Edward Mascolo disposed of their cases individually.
 Six of them went to Brookside for periods ranging from 10 to 30 days. Two others gained leniency in the form of 30-day continuances one of them after he had been fined $5 and costs a moment be- fore. Judge Edward Mascolo grant cd the continuance when informed by Sergt John Brickel. court officer that the man in question is the father of five children.
 The eight men were arrested just short distance from the po- lice station by Lieut. Arthur Yar- rington and Patrolman Charles McWeeney. Police from headquar- ters, saw the bottles being flashed about and the subsequent stupors which it caused.

STATE TO COMBAT
 ELM TREE DISEASE
Many Communities Alarm= ed Over Spread of
 Epidemic

The attempt to halt the rapidly spreading Dutch elm disease which is threatening trees throughout the state, and especially in the vicinity of Darien, Greenwich and Nor walk, was today given national at- tention.
 A meeting of delegates from the six New England states, and from New York, together with repre- sentatives of the federal govern ment was held at the State House in Boston for the purpose of dis cussing methods of eliminating the disease.
 Since it's appearance in this country three years ago it. has been especially prevalent in Con- necticut, which is one of the three states in the country most serious ly affected. Reports to the effect that the blight was rapidly spread ing from the southern end of the state and would probably make its appearance in Waterbury have so far proved unfounded, park de- partment officials said today. Reports at the meeting were given by members of the federal bureaus of entomology and path | ology. both on the present outlook and the methods of controlling the disease.
