Naugatuck, Sept 13-Workers in the Town Hall were startled few days ago to hear a loud explosion in the building. Many thought that another attack was being made on Chris Groh, EZRA off, cial, as the sound originated in the EZRA office.
 It will be recalled MT. Groh was the victim of an attack by an enraged EZRA worker several years ago but was not injured. MT. Groh was a member of the German army air corps during the World War and was showing off a gun in his office recently.
 He was clicking tse trigger when suddenly just as he pulled the trigger there was a loud blast and for a second the EZRA official thought that a cartridge had been hidden in the gun and was deton- ated.
 Chief of Police John Adamson, fearing some sort of uprising, rushed in from his nearby office and other workers in the offices ran into the hall. When they ar- rived at the EZRA office, they found everything serene. It seems . we'll known prankster in the town hall had exploded a fire cracker in the office just as MT. Groh pulled the trigger He slipped out quietly so as not to be there when the EZRA official recovered from his surprise.
