New Yorker Who Eluded Local Police Arrested
 at Gun Point @

Arrested in Meriden last night at gun point, a New Yorker described as a particularly dangerous charac- ter was sought here by Danbury and local police Sunday succeeded in eluding capture, Chief Inspector Jo- seph P. Stevens of the detective bu- reau disclosed today. He was Isa- dore Moroh, 27, charged with conl- plicity in e robbery with violence which occurred in Danbury August IS, when Percy Nash of that city was held up, severely beaten and robbed of $l400 in cash and jewelry estimated at $400.

Dan- bury police, accompanied by Mayor Adam Roth, came here and with Captain Stevens and members of the detective bureau, conducted an unsuccessful search for the New Yorker.
 Also arrested with Moroh last night were his brother, Solomon Moroh, ie, also of New York city, and Walter Bernski, g, and An- thony Klaja, 22, both of Meriden.

NAVAL RACE OF
 THREE NATIONS

Washington, Sept. 1 = (UP) - Events pointed today toward . nav al construction race among Great Britain, Japan and the United States. e
 Following Great Britain's recent invocation of the "Escalator Clause of the London Naval treaty to re- tain in active service 10000 tons of over-age destroyers scheduled, iirl- der the treaty, to be scrapped by Dec. 3l of this year, Japan formal ly notified the United States and Great Britain that Japan will re- tain in service 15,50e tons of over- age submarines and 1l,06o tons of average destroyers which the treaty said should be scrapped by Dec. 3i.
 While officials of the state and navy departments were reluctant to comment on the Japanese move, 1t was generally indicated that the United States probably will follow Japans lead and retain on active service 6 number of overLage sub- marines instead of scrapping them This is the position the United States took with regard to Britain's action in retaining 10000 tons of over-age destroyers. '
 Full effect of Q general move by the three leading naval powers in retaining over-age ships in active service may not Dc felt immediately, 1t was pointed out, but their re- tention sets the stage for Q general construction race after the London and Washington naval limitation treaties expire on Dec. 3l.

Automobile parking meters arc being adopted so rapidly by large and small municipalities to solve the problem of traffic congestion in business sections that the founda- tion is being laid for another maj or American industry. .
 SiXty-one cities have already in- stalled or are planning to install meters and inquiries are being made by numerous other municipal offi- acials who see in the meter an op- porsunity to relieve traffic difficult ties in their business centers, pro- vidS shoppers with convenient parking at low cost and at the same time secure new revenues for traf- tic safety work.
 Serves As Judge
 10 avoid present objections to certain phases of parking meter operation, the company will submit to municipal authorities new me- ter that combines the functions of collector, policeman and judge. In- stead of the driver having to rush back and put in another coin when the parking time has expired or be arrested and hauled into court, the Jennings parking meter permits the automobilist to pay in advance for his expected overtime parking. As against only one interval of parking now provided for, the new meter permits up to three intervals. The meter also has Q separate slot into which the motorist can immediately place an extra coin to pay for one or two hours overtime.
 Kansas Leads
 The meters can be regulated at will to meet the desires of muni- cipal officials as to the length of time of each parking interval and the sum to be paid. If change of interval is desired, the company's national service organization can quickly effect the change.
 The company estimates that more

 It's own accord, the bulletin said. Perhaps he says to himself, "Well, if this is not a cancer 1t will go away, and if 1t is a cancer all l can do is wait patiently for 1t to finish me off," This attitude, bred of ignor- ance and fear, is largely responsible for many cancer deaths, now num- bering more than 2000 annually in Connecticut.
 Cases Increase
 During the past 35 years, cancer has risen from sixth to second place as @ cause of death in the United States. Progress in the con. trol of cancer in Connecticut will be made when people realize the gravity of the situation and have sufficient knowledge of the early signs and symptoms to be able to combat 1t intelligently. The surest way is the education of the public III EeRdEQ tO VklG AhSV0p NAM VA VAAS medical profession with respect to the importance of care and thoro- ughness in examining their patients and of group treatment of cancer cases.
 It is extremely important to de- tect cancer in its early stages be- fore 1t has assumed the proportions of @ major conf1agration. People cannot be forced to seek treatment for cancer or for any other disease, but 1t is possible to so inform the public that they can meet the sit- uation intelligently. When that has been accomplished, the bulletin sta- ted, 1t is then each persons duty to himself and his family to use this information to his own best adyantage. This thought, 1t contin- ued, has been admirably expressed by pr. Charles P. Childs as follows: "A little knowledge, Q little resolu- ton, a little courage, these are the cures for cancer; the waiting and wathing to see if 1t gets larger, or gives pain or makes one feel III. they are the messengers of death"
