 The child's father is part owner and an executive of the Streicher Tool and Die Works. His grand father is a prominent automobile designer.
 It was understood that police were given close attention to a theory that an older boy commit ted the crime.
 Post-morten examination indi- cated the child had ben merciless- ly tortured before death. Only three of the eight chest wounds reached the heart, which physi- clans thought indicated that five were inflicted only to cause pain. In addition tere were a number of shallow lacerations.

HILL FORTY.FIVE
 TEAM VICTORIOUS
Johnny PheIan's Knuckle Cruisers Humble Pat
 CrOnim's Rippers

Sergeant John PheIan brought his GAS" team over to Brooklyn and defeated Patrick Cronan and his Rippers 6S-62 at the Bankers Grill last night. Witnesses who swear to the accuracy of the score say the match was one of the greatest in history, Both teams played shady cards during the en- tire course of the match. Captain Cronan said later that he knows his team is the better of the two and can defeat Phelan in his own terri tory. Arrangements were made with the accommodating Johnny for another match to be played on Washington Hill within the next two weeks. It may develop into a three game series.
 The match last night was highly significant of both captains who were continually asked for advice on the fine points of the game and in an effort to better the hecklers, all plays were explained by Myles Kelley and Edward Egan.

Pension Fund To Be
 Problem For State
Administration of Old Age Measure Will Become Big Business Department Indications Reveal

That the administration of the old age pension fund will become one of the big business depart ments of the state government was indicated this week when the com mittee on the judiciary of the leg islature delved further into the subject of a suitable bill to report favorably to the house and senate. Representative John D. Thoms of this city, a member of the com mittee, stated that several execu- tive sessions have been held at which the matter of an old age pension has been thoroughly dis cussed. He said that it will be a little while, yet, before a bill is reported out from the committee.
 The republican-controll judi ciary committee is working with the idea contained in the bill in- troduced by the republican Senator c. c. Costello of Groton, 1t is un- derstood on good authority. The idea contained in this bill is di- rectly opposite to the plan propos- ed in the measure offered by the joint commission that studied old age pensions and of which William M. Harris of this city is a member.
 The Costello bill provides for a tax on all individuals of $2 or $3 a year, this money to go into the old age benson fund. The bill of fered by MT Harris and his col leagues would set up a $2,OO0,OOO fund out of the general treasury to administer the old age pension costs. It is possible, however. that the present personal tax would be exempted under a revised Costello bill and an old age pension tax established in its place, 1t Is said. This would not be increasing the burden of taxation on individuals, it is claimed.
 According to information ob- tained by the judiciary committee. the personal tax now yields only $1,00O,000 a year in the state. It is figured by the supporters of the Costello measure that the $2,00O,- 900 fund proposed in the joint commissions bill would not be enough to take care of the old age pension expenses. The Costello supporters have estimated that $4,000,000 would be needed for the next biennium. Therefore. they must find some method of provid- ing the extra $3,00O,0O0.
 It Is feared that when the final bill comes out an old age pension assessment of at least A per per- son between the ages of 21 and 65 will be proposed so as to allow a pension of $30 month. There fore, the claim that the elimination of the personal tax 50 as to make way for' the old age pension tax would not increase the burden on the individual is attacked by the opponents of the Costello plan.

 ent spoke in favor of the measure. The proponents included Warden John J. Sheridan, democrat, and 3 Attorney Joseph Talbot, republican leader, both of Naugatuck.
 Halting Was Surprise
 The latest development. there- fore, comes as a surprise. Some- body has reached the ears of the members of the committee on cities and boroughs and has asked that the body amend the McDer- mott bill so that it will provide for 8 referendum on the question at the polls in May. The committee, 1t is understood, has decided that this would be a wise thing and is believed to have informed Warden sheridan. The latter was expected to have the board of warden and burgesses take up the matter at their last meeting but nothing was done on the matter.
 The cities and boroughs commit tee wants the Naugatuck board of warden and burgesses to recom- mend the insertion of the referen- dunn clause. The board hasn't done so yet and the cities and boroughs committee is delaying the matter of reporting the bill back to the house. Whether or not the Naug- atuck board will accede to the re- quest of the Hartford solons is now the question.
