IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
NOT GOOD SENSE

Pictures carried in coast papers last
week showed the work of destruction
wreaked on Communist headquarters in
various California cities, by aroused
"Wigilantes" and police officials, who
raided various places where "reds" held
forth.
Among the various photographs was
one which to us seems to call for a pro-
test
1t showed couple of husllies at work
on piano in the Communist stronghold.
They were not playing the piano. In
stead they had couple of sledges with
which they were battering it to pieces
Cne wonders why Why wreck mu-
steal instrument that without question
could we'll be used by any number of
worthwhile and deserving organizations?
Or why destroy other furniture or equip
ment that could be put to good use else
where?
We dare say there are any number of
philanthropic and social welfare organ
izations in the San Francisco area which
could well have used that piano Why
destroy it? 1t wasn't red" and while
it may have been used to pound out the
tune of the "Internationale," it could al
so be used to play the Star Spangled
Banner as well as a piano which had
never known red associations.
Probably there is a Legion post in the
area that could have used that piano.
Why didn't the raiders use a bit of horse
sense? They could have given the piano
to a Legion post thereby wreaking real
vengeance on the Communists, for the
reds" love the Legion about on par with
the love the Legion has for the reds
Who knows that had such a course
been followed, the reds might have got
foolish sometime and attempted to take
the piano from the Legion? That would
have been worth while.
Wanton destruction of useable prop
erty, merely because it happens to be
found in Communist surroundings is not
justified. We Americans are funny that
way When we "bust" we want to Dust
everything in sight.

Arnatavicus Given
 Borough C Continuance
Pond Hill Man Puzzles Judge Must Learn Respect
 For Law or Take Jail Sentence

Naugatuck, Sept 11-Judge Claremont I. Tolles confessed in borough court today he did not know just what to do with Peter Arnatavicus, 25, of Pond Hill, so continued the case until Sept 24, and asked Probation Officer Wil- liam J.. Nixon to talk with him and endeavor to inculcate in him some respect for the law. He intimated if MT Nixon was not able to do this. Peter would get a jail sent ence.
 Peter and his brother Joe were in court today. Peter was charged with breach of the peace and as- sault on Joe who looked as if a steam roller had been run over his face, Jos right eye was swollen and the right side of his face was .puffed up as though a herd of bees had feasted on it. Distributed from his forehead to his chin were seven scars.
 !, Joe appeared rather reluctant to tell how he got the scars. He said he didn't remember if Peter struck him, and when Prosecuting Attor- ney Martin Caine asked him sar- castically if he pounded his own face into the sidewalk and thus got the bruises, he replied II don't re- member" Judge Tolles at this point warned Joe if he continued in this vein he would be sentenced to jail for contempt of court.
 < Louis Marquis, friend, testified Peter struck Joe about eight times

after Joe had started the fight. Pe- ter said Joe had a few drinks in him and started rush the truck of the family down the hill. Peter said he. at the request of his mother, took the key from the truck and Joe got angry when he saw the key missing.
 Joe threatened to get square with him and wentiin the house to get a shotgun he had been using. Peter said.
 Peter tried to bar him from go- ing in and Joe made a pass at him. Peter then knocked Joe down on the sidewalk. Joe got up and again made a pass" Peter declar- ed, so again he fioored him. Peter claimed he only hit Joe twice and said he did 1t in self-defense. He said he would not have had time to call police before Joe got his gun. Joe gets wild when he has few drinks in and a short time before the fight had been shooting at a hawk 'ten miles away" ac- cording to Peter.
 Peter did not feel very sorry for his own action. Judge Tolles ordered Joe, who is not citizen. to turn over the gun within five hours to the local police. He has no right to use one. If this is not done he will be jailed. The gun was borrowed from Vinvent Varon1s of Edgewood avenue, Waterbury. This is Peters third contact with the law in recent months. Officers Lysiewicz and Garrick arrested 1 him. A technical charge of breach of the peace against Joe was nolled.

 Police Detailed
 Seven traffic officers, under the new regulations, report immediate ly to points of duty with the open ing of school in the morning in- stead of answering roll call.
 These men have all been placed at points regarded as particular ly dangerous, where traffic is un- usually heavy and where accidents have occurred in the past. They are stationed at the Meriden road, at the corner of East Main and Mill streets, at the high schools, at the Maloney school crossing near St. Ann's church on South Main street, and on the Cheshire roac near the underpass.
 Members of the traffic detail, be- sides regular patrolmen, report to the various other schools at reg ular intervals throughout the day to assist the children in safely crossing the streets.
 Bremen Assisting
 In several of the outlying school districts firemen have also been as- signed similar duties. Patrolmen on duty near several of the schools are now required to report to the schools st stated hours. All schools are thus given adequate protection. Lieutenant Wagner said.
