 July Instituted

The second civil action to arise from a bad crash at Division street and Walnut street extension last July 3d. was instituted in superior court today when Raffaela Tedesco brought suit for $15,000 damages against the Roma Importing Go. The first suit, asking $50,000 dam- ages was filed last month with Mrs. Josephine Bacco as plaintiff against the same defendant.
 In the Tedesco action, the plain tiff says she was passenger in 8 Chevrolet coach driven by Anthony Folklore and passing through the intersection, when the rear of the coach was hit by the defendants truck, driven by Anthony Tiso.
 Mrs. Tedesco was knocked uncon- scious and confined to St. Mary's hospital for a long time. She suf- fered concussion of the brain, in- juries to her shoulder and abdomen together with lacerated and sprained back.
 The suit, drawn by Attorney Wil- liam B. Fitzgerald, says the plaintiff conducted a retail fuel oil company but ceased her ownership because of being laid up from the date of the accident to September l.
 The Cacco suit, brought by Mas colo, Mcknight and Dauch,. sets forth the same allegations, and lists more injuries.

NOTABLE DECREASE
 REPORTED BY M. A.
25 Men Taken From Lists Within Week By Fac-
 tory Employment

Another sizeable decrease in the number of persons on the Mutual Aid list was noted in the weekly re- port of the treasurer submitted to- day. The total number cared for is only 647 and the total actually given work only 616. The direct re- lief list has been reduced to four persons and 27 being given food and lodging at St. Johns parish house. This latter group is com- prised of homeless, unemployed single men, recently transferred from the barracks at Brookside be- cause of the approach of cold weather.
 The decline in the number cared for by the Mutual Aid has been rapid and steady for the past sev- eral weeks. Establishments of the employment service in the Chamber of Commerce building last week through which factory executives have agreed to hire needed help has served to aid in the reduction.
 Since the agency was set up last Wednesday, 25 men have found em- ployment in the factories. Fifty men from the Mutual Aid rolls are sent to the Chamber of Commerce oflces each morning where they are interviewed by factory employment agents. Nine were given employ ment this morning. In 8 period of three weeks, 92 persons formerly on the Mutual Aid have found factory employment.

 With the Italian armies on the Ethiopian frontier, via Asmara, Sept. 27-(UP)-"Avanti!"-
 That one word, forward, from one man, Benito Mussolini, is all that is necessary today to electrify into action the largest and most modernly equipped army any na- ton has put into the field since the World war.
 The biggest army ever thrown into Africa in the long history of the partition of the dark continent by European powers is ready, awaiting the word to go.
 Part of it is massed on the from tier of Eritrea, facing to the south a grim mass of mountains, tower ing from 5000 to 11,000 feet, in- tersected by canons hundreds of feet deep.
 It faces also the Danakil region of Ethiopia called the hell hole of creation, one of the most savage parts of the globe, lying 200 feet below sea level, a waterless desert inferno where temperatures of 163 degrees in the shade have been re- corded by the only two living white men who ever crossed it, inhab- ited by Danakili savages who still make fire by rubbing sticks togeth- CT and who slaughter any stranger upon sight.
 Further to the south the troops of Gen. Rodolfo GraZiani in Italian Somaliland face hundreds of miles of scrub, covering the waterless low plains of Ogaden. where Elm peror Halle Selassie's warriors are massing to defend Harar.
 These jumping off places were swarming with 100000 troops, sun burned the color of an old saddle, wearing baggy khaki trousers with dark goggles and sun helmets

The ban dits, two of whom were masked and one of whom carried a revolver, made a safe escape af- ter they had fore l Lauria to get into his car again and drive away.

About 500 yards on the Waterbury side of the town line, a young man, unmasked, sprang in front of his car, and flagged the driver to stop. Unsuspicious, Lauria did so.
 In a moment, two young men, their faces covered with handker- chiefs, sprang out of the nearby brushes. Waving a gun, one of them cried: Hand out your money"
 T haven't any," replied Lauria, but the armed bandit retorted, "We know you have money.

BAER'S MANAGER

Will Not Protest Outcome of Recent Bout, He
 States

New York, Sept. 27-(UP)-An- cil Hoffman, Max Baer's manager, will ask the state athletic commis- sion to investigate a reportedly heightened fourth round in the fight with Joe Louis Tuesday night, but he said today, he would not protest the outcome. ..
 "Baer was beaten, all right" Hoffman said, "but I'm going to ask for the investigation to satisfy some hundreds of persons who are telegraphing and telephoning me about the fourth round."
 The United Press revealed ex- clusively today that delicate tim ing instruments set up by Proctor Laboratories indicated the fourth round in which Baer was knocked out, lasted three minutes and nine and one-half seconds.
 Hoffman said lazy Klaine, Baer's trainer, held a stop watch during the fight with instructions to sig nal the ten seconds before the end of each round.
 "Izzy told me the fourth round was too long but I didn't think anythink of it at the time," he said. "Of course. if the bell had saved Baer in the fourth, I'd have sent him out again in the fifth. There's always a chance that a beaten man could slip wild hay maker across. I saw it happen in a bout I refereed in San Francis co many years ago. A white fight CT had been knocked down Il times by a negro boy. I was deter mined to stop the bout If he were knocked down again. But the white lad got up and connected with a wild one that put his op- ponent to sleep"
