FLYER MET DEATH
 RIGHT AT START

North Walpole, N. H., Jan. 18.- (UP)-An attempted takeoff from an emergency landing field in a snowstorm cost the life of Walter D. Switzer, 31. Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., garage owner and pilot. Swift ger died at Bellows Falls, Vt, hos pital late last night only a few hours after his cabin monoplane crashed in treetops and overturned. The New Jersey flyer took off Saturday from Teterboro, N. J., airport for Lyme, N. H., to inspect a possible commercial landing field site. He stopped overnight at Springfield, Mass, with Dr. Gustave Frank, g, who accompanied Switzer when he took off for New Hampshire early yesterday.
 It was on their trip back to Spring. field that the flyers ran into the storm. They made an emergency landing at Nims field here. Resi- dents told Switzer. however, of an- other field 8 mile distant where the plane could be guarded overnight. When the storm abated slightly, Switzer decided to risk the short flight alone, leaving Dr. Frank and both parachutes behind to tighten the planes load. The plane failed to clear trees at one end of the field.

NEW ITALIAN VETERAN UNIT
CCcntinusd frurn Page D

(Ccutinusd frrsn Page D
 
 Of the local chapter of the Italian Veterans also known as ex-combat- tents, is organizing . new unit.
 The new unit will be independent and on account of the Influence of the organizers its success is assured. It will be known as the Veterans Of Italian Wars and will accept for membership Veterans cf all Italian Wars.
 The promoters of the new unit include veterans who were primarily responsible for the organization of the existing iex-commandantS. Accuse ouIs Briar
 They claim that School Commis- sicner Louis BriA tried to organize unit for several years previous but did not Secceed, whereas theses anne individuals formed a unit in . few weeks. M
 There has been considerable dis- content among nemDery of the ex- commandants over the form of or- ganizat.on which iS dictated by an authority in New York.
 The commanders Of the local ex- cotnmandants unit are not elected by the members but appointed from the New York authority, though 1t Is al- leged that in many other towns coril- ntanders are elected by members of local chapters.
 Veterans who have experience in leading societies never had a chance to be possible appointees for the commandeyShip because MT. Bria was given the credit for organizing the local unit and all appointments of local commanders are made usu- ally subject to his recommendation.
 Several Protests
 Several protests were made to the national department on account of Mr. Bria's political activities while in office and as s result he resigned his commsndership. He is, however, honorary president of the chapter, a title seldom given to a person who Is eligible for active membership to any organization.
 Most Italian veterans are not in sympathy with Mir. Bria's alleged connections with the group of Ital- ian American professional polite ians who are blamed for obstructing fair recognition for the young men who initiate in political parties and are not adequately recognized for their work.
 It is reported that about 100 veterans have already enrolled in the new unit.
 The organizing committee, 1n- cludes Sergeants Joseph Cicchiello, Antonia Iannitto and Sebastian Far ace. Umberto Santopietro is also a member of the organizing commit tee. All veterans mentioned are pres idents or past presidents of infiu- ential organizations
 It is estimated that there are about TOO Italian veterans in the city eligible for membership to this new unit.

 some Of the ladies, who plan to write social history at the coming police ball, was not in the path oi the flames. Members of the de- tective- department called into solve the mystery immediately arrived at the conclusion that the bundle was picked up and tossed into . safe corner from the flames. The manage nlent following persistent hunt re- ported that the dresses were miss- tngi
 Fire officials disclaim all respon- eibility for the bundle. They couldn't erlighten the manager or the insur- arice adjustors. The cops, so 1t has been learned, had several stories to accoun for the missing bundle of some 90 or 50 dresses.
 Probe in Full Swing
 The probe is now in full swing. Supt. Roach and members of the board of police commissioners are working overtime on the problem. If they wait, however, sufficiently long enough 1t was also learned to- day that the dresses will be returned. They will not be in the same bundle, but one by one, or in twos and threes they will come back. Needless to add that the old lost advertisement tip-off mo questions asked" will be missing from the general notice that all dresses must be returned or elSe
 One of the strange features" of the fire, the disappearance Of the dresses, their unexpected return and the police probe, is that the bundle is said to have been carried away in police car!
 Explanation
 The explanation, Watson, is this: The bundle was being kicked around and thoughtful cop-maybe there were two or three of them-took the dresses home for safe keeping. They had planned to return them when the fire was over, but in the general excitement and press of duties, the little matter was forgotten.
 New rules, new regulations and what not are now being made. Fire men will probably tell the cops to stap out of stores and buildings in the future and if there is any sal- vaging" to be done, the fire-fighters will attend to that little detail.
 Supt. Roach is expected to address the cops in general. but 8 few cer- tain ones in private, at some future date.
 Another strange incident ot the disappearance is that some of -A dresses were actual]y T wives and daughte . oi the police aerartn4

(Continued from Page D atians, both the house and the sen- ate organized separate standing committees, made necessary by ab- rogation of the joint committee sys- tenn which had been in force since 1898.
 Also, the house received its first bills, which included one to impose the death penalty for conviction of Kidnapping in instances where bodily harm has been done, or life impri- sonment otherwise.

 Another bill would authorize the state comptroller to rent new quar- ters, outside the capitol, to accom- modate the social security law personnel.
 Under suspension of rules the house passed bill continuing the life of the committee to study house acoustics and recommend remedial measures.

 Table of Tragedy
 Back in 7, corner of the big room Cicero snd ,'ree friends, one a woman. were in gay mood. Cicero was taking loudly The others were lauphing. The noiac interfered with Whalebg speech.
 "ttush, i1usa." hissed guests at ! nearby tables. i The noiFc continued. 1 TWO E.en shouted at Cicero. He resented 1t.
 4 plate skinned across a corner of the room and crashed near Cice- ro's table. That started barrage of dishes and other missiles. Whalen tried to go on. The orchestra leader waved his baton and popular tune drowned out the noise. Many guests, unaware of the fight, started danc- ing.
 1 Cicero Goes Down A crowd of men and women was brawlirg around Cicero's table. Fists were swinging. Food was spilled on evening gowns, and white shirt bosonls. Women screamed. Sudden ly, Cicero slumped to the floor and the fighting stopped. He was carried out to an elevator and taken to the first floor where an ambulance sur- geon announced that he had died of three wounds, two just below the heart and one in his left side. Po- lice said Cicero had been stabbed either by table knife or a penknife. They could not find the weapon. In the banquet hall walters re- stored order. Doors were locked. Po- lice told all guests to sit at the tables they had occupied when the fight began. They attempted to reenact the staying. AS each guests dis claimed knowledge of the affair he was permitted to leave.
 Fifty Singled Out
 Fifty men and women were sim gled out. They sat at the tables un- til 5:45 a. m. when police released all but six men and four women for further questioning.
 The theory was advanced that the staying might have been the result of feud in the trucking business between New York and Stamford, Conn. Cicero, B, was connected with the Garment Motor Transportation company of Stamford.
 Police said two persons known to have been at table near the Cicero table had not been located. Their names were said to be known.
 Whalen Didn't Realize
 Whalen spoke briefly after the stabbing, and according to an em- ploye, made some testing reference to the argument apparently in the belief 1t was a minor affair. Judge Goldstein was under the same im- precision.
 Several witnesses were questioned at the West 30th Street station after the others were dismissed. These in- cluded four women, MT. and Mrs. Saul Metz of the Bronx, who were seated at nearby table with four other couples and Thomas Craw- ford, 30, relative by marriage of Cicero who was clubbed with a bottle.
 At 6 a. nn., man who said he was Frank Gibbia, 30, was taken to Bellevue hospital by friends who left immediately. He had been stabbed in the neck and body but refused to give any information. Po- lice sought to determine whether he was at the Opera House.

NEW ORLEANS HAS
 FORBIDDEN PLAY

New Orleans, Nov. 23-tuP)-This old city was not perceptibly changed today, though last night 1t witnessed @ performance of the Broadway shocker, Tobacco Road, under the watchful eye of the police who, re- treating from their first inclination to ban 1t altogether, permitted 1t to go oil. The police maneuverings gave the play considerable publicity and the theater was packed. The play will run here for two weeks, and, since last nights performance was okay with the police, they will not attend any more.
 Carlton Miles, executive agent of the producers, said that the road production of Tobacco Road was deluted somewhat from It's Broad- way version. Last nights audience was deprived of some Of Jester Les- ter's saltier remarks to his hare- lipped daughter.
 City authorities withdrew their ban on thep lay yesterday after noon after q private performance had been staged In 6 hotel room for tho benefit of the police and 0 com- mittee of Catholic priests. Certain passages the police considered "ob- scene and immoral had been de- leted, Mayor Robert s. Maestri ale Iiounced.
