HOPE FADES FOR
 AIRPLANE CREW
Navy Now Searching Waters North of HOnO-
 lula To-day
BY RICHARD Q. WILSON

Honolulu, T. H., Dec 6--(UP)- Stalking fading hopes on one last chance, the U. s. navy searched the ocean north of Honolulu today for trace of the lost monoplane Star of Australia and it's crew of thr9e.
 The AS hours set by experts as the time the plane could remain aflont expires this morning.
 Weary lookouts on score of ships renewed their vigilance for some sign of the missing plano and the men who came down on
 ''rt looks hopeless" said Com mander E. Wayne Tod, in charge of the Pearl Harbor naval air base. as the searched entered its third day without trace of Capt Charles T. P. Ulm and his companions, Leon Skilling and George Little- john.
 However, we will continue the hunt as long as there is a prac tical chance of getting them," Tod said.
 Naval experts reasoned that Ulm must have overshot the island of Oahu, on which Honolulu is locat- cd. in his effort to span theSPacific from the California coast to the Hawaiian Islands.
 The prevailing wind at the time was from the southwest. The radio signals from the plafe, as its oc- cupants tried to get their bearings, appeared strongest on the north. ern and western side of the island.
 There will be fewer airplanes in the search today because the planes and the men themselves cam Il stand the strain without increasing the possibility of accident, Tod said. Already they have spent 30 hours in the air since Ulm sent his final message of "come and pick us up."
 Tod and other doubted the mon- oplane landed safely. They pointed out that it's radio became silent immediately after it hit the water.
 w. P. w. Turner, British consul, shared the growing belief that Ulm and his mates have been drowned and said he intends to cable the prime minister of Australia to this effect.
 Ulm and Littlejohn are Austra- Hans. Skilling is British sea cap- tain who was navigator and radio operator on the plane. They at- tempted to blaze a trail for com mercial flying between Nortk America and Australia by way of Honolulu, Tanning Island, Suva and Auckland.

 Santa reports having had a great time in Quebec where the people turned out by the thousands to gret him. He attended big ban quet given in his honor where more than 5000 people were present. When he reached Quebec Fred D. Moller, the Democrat Pilot, brought the big plane down at the Quebec Airport where he was greeted by more than 10000 people. The plane was then locked up and mounted policemen were stationed at diff ferent points to protect the air plane so that nothing could hap pen to prevent Santa from start ing off on his last lap to Water- bury tonight.
 Santa will reach Waterbury Sa- turday shortly after dinner so we say to all the little boys and girls to watch the sky for the big plane as 1t will circle the city before Santa drops at Hamilton Park.

POLICE RETURNING
 TO SOCIAL REALM
Biennial Concert and Ball to Be Revived in
 February

Reviving one of the greatest so- cial events in the city's history af- ter a lapse of several years, Water- bury's policemen will hold for- nal ball on the night of Feb. 18th at Hamilton Park pavilion. Plans for the gala event, which was equalled in splendor in the past only by the firemen's ball, proceed ed at fast rate today after the affair was approved yesterday at the meeting of the board of police commissioners.
 Sponsoring the gala event is the Waterbury Police Aid Association, which so successfully held similar affairs in past years. The last Po- licemen's Ball was held in 1929 while the last of the service so- cial events was the Firemen's Ball staged at the state armory.
 Revival of the Policemen's Ball means undoubtedly that the fire men will hold their annual social event in 1936, following the two de- partments' practice of holding their events in alternate years.
 The police board received a re- quest from the Mems Club of Christ Chapel that East Main street, from Mill street to Fair lawn be posted with speed limit signs and that cars coming from side streets be forced to stop be- fore entering East Main street.
 An application to be appointed as a supernumary was received from Domenic Angelillo of 260 Pine street.

WIFE
/. To APPEAR IN
LORTONPROBE
Mrs. Rheem May Answer
Charges of Visits With
Husband at Hotel

Mrs. Edmund D. Rheem, wife OF
a member of the bankers colony"
at Lorton Reformatory, will ap-
pear at today's session of the COM
mittee which is investigating con-
ditions at the prison, according
to an unconfirmed report at the
District Building.
Witnesses at previous sessions
of the committee have charged
that Mrs. Rheem frequently was
a guest at an Alexandra hotel
and that she was visited there by
her husband, who was allowed to
leave the prison for these trips.
This has been denied by Capt.
M. M. Barnard, superintendent OF
penal institutions.
Whether Mrs. Rheem will
testify or attend the hearing
solely as a spectator is not
known, but it is probable that
she will be called upon to take
the witness stand if she appears.
Members of the committee on
penal and correctional institu-
tions of the Board of Public We'll
fare, which is conducting the
Lorton investigation, hope to
complete the taking of testimony
today. Later in the week they
are expected to go to- the re-
formatory for first-hand informa-
ton on affairs at the prison.

Director William A. Van lDuzer,

Traffic Bureau. and other police
officials held a session.
The scene was Thomas Circle.
The time, $50 and the subject,
expediting street car and auto
mobile traffic.
Viewing their latest experiment
in arranging traffic lights so that
north and south bound traffic at
the circle have green lights while
the east and west bound traffic is
halted, the officials called it a
success.
The principal problem facing
them now, they say, is to relieve
Fourteenth Street of some of its
traffic. This will be accomplished
by not allowing motorists to turn
into the downtown stretch of the
thoroughfare.
Traffic will be shunted down
Fifteenth Street until the now
one-Way Thirteenth Street is

ALLEN ASKS USE
Of POLICEMEN
FORREL|EF
Commissioner Believes Speed
Necessary to Care for
Emergency Cases

Use of District policemen as
emergency relief case workers
was advocated today by Commis-
sioner George E. Allen.
Pointing out that there have
been hundreds of complaints
that persons in dire need have
been kept waiting days for case
workers to come and investigate,
he recommended that emergency
relief be given at once on the
word of a policeman regarding
any needy case.
Would Be Continued
This emergency relief would be
continued until such time as a
regular case worker could in
vestigate and make report.
The police are fully cognizant
of the needy cases in their pre-
cincts, Commissioner Allen pointed
out. and in many cases have been
assisting when relief was delayed.
TaliaferrO to Remain
Sidney F. Taliaferro, former
District Commissioner and chair
man of the emergency relief com.
mittee, who resigned from the
Board of Public Welfare last week
and voiced vigorous criticism of
the way relief work has been
handled, today agreed to remain
on the board for the time being.
He issued the following state
ment:
"At the request of the Com. q
miSSiOnerS the effective date Of
my resignation as a member Of
the Board of Public Welfare
has been deferred, although I
should be glad to be relieved at
their earliest convenience. I
shall carry on temporarily and
possibly until the end of my
term, June 30, unless the Com
missiOnerS are able to appoint
my successor prior to that
date"

Elusive spring, which has been

But the appearance will be brief

colder weather and perhaps rain
for tomorrow.
After rising to a high of AZ de-
grees yesterday afternoon, the
mercury fell back 10 degrees to
just touch the freezing point early
today, then started to climb with
the probability that yesterdays
high would be passed.
