RadioStation WAT
 Is Congratulated
tcontinued from Page D

75 per cent of his own radio broad casts had bene made over the sta- ton.
 Mrs. Ladd said that WATR had given excellent service to the Red Gross, and pointed to the stations flood broadcast of March, 1886, in which a four and half hour pro- gram was broadcast for the pur- pose of raising funds for the Red Cross to aid flood sufferers. "The station is wonderful one," she said, "and has done the Red Gross a lot of good"
 Rev. pr. Gaines testified that his church had used the facilities of WATR for two years. Concerning full time, he said: T think 1t would be a very splendid service for Wa terbury. The reception through many radios is better with WATR than 1t is with some other stations and we have had that fact reported to us many times by persons who are interested in our broadcasts."
 Fine Community Service
 Other witnesses likewise praised the splendid community service of- fered by WATR and declared that Waterbury needed full-time radio station with as much interest in community welfare as the station. The dispositions showed that literal. ly scores of worthy organizations had been enabled to deliver mes. sages of public interest through WATR.
 With 250 watts and full time, WATR will now be able to offer even better radio service. A new transmitter will be erected soon on Baldwin avenue, and the station will begin operating under It's new schedule in a month or two. The testimony of the witnesses and the interest of listeners in general shows that WATR truly deserved its application, "The Voice of Water bury.

citizens into consideration when 1t decided that WATERS application be granted in order that the people of Waterbury and Connecticut might receive better radio service"
 Men and women prominent in every walk of life spoke highly of WATR and It's public service when the hearings were held in January. A glance at the list shows unques- tionably that Waterbury appreciates the service given by the station and wants that service enlarged and extended.
 Many Who Testified
 Here are some of those who tes- tified that they favored full.time and more power for WATR: Lieu tenant Governor and Mayor Frank Hayes. former Governor Charles A. Templeton, ward Fitzpatrick, manager of Poll theater; Attorney John Gaffney, past grand knight of the Knights of Columbus; John P. Barry, chairman of the Waterbury Veterans council and past com- mander of the Disabled American Veterans; Mrs. Edith Ladd, director of the local Red Cross; Rev. David P. Gaines, pastor of the First Bap- tist church; Rev. Joseph Valdam- brini, pastor of the church of Our Lady of Lourdes; Adjutant Hugo Wiberg of the Salvation Army; Harry x. Cashin, president of Cashin's Dairy, Inc; Preston Creel, of Creel Brothers, Inc; William J. Fitzpatrick, Jr., vice president of Mattatuck Motors, Inc; Attorney Walter Monagan, former president of the Waterbury Bar association and past exalted ruler of the Wa terbury lodge of Elks; William Schneer, of Schneer's jewelry store; Commissioner Nathan Freedman and others.
 City Better Served
 These men and women. all prom inent in the city, declared that Wa terbury would be better served fl WATR were allowed to broadcast or full-time basis. They testified that they listened to the stations programs and enjoyed them. A number of them testified to the pre- ponderance of civic programs on WATR, programs which were of public interest and value.
 The FCC grants an application such as that filed by WATR only when 1t believes that the granting of 1t will be for the public and that 1t will fulfill three require- ments: Interest, convenience and necessity. As the only exclusive Waterbury station, WATR fulfilled those requirements and it's petition was granted.
 Several of the witnesses who gave dispositions testified to the fact that WATR granted radio time free of charge to civic organizations, vet erans' groups, charitable societies, and religious denominations. Other Testimonials
 Attorney Gaffney. a. member of the board of agents of the Silas Bronson library, testified that the station donated weekly time to the library for broadcasfs of an educa. tional nature.

butcher, showed that the same twist ed brain conceived and planned all the crimes. Beyond that police have never found even e workable clew.
 Details of detectives worked for continuous months on the baffling case, and returned empty-handed. Dozens of wanderers and denizens of the hobo jungles were brought in, examined and dismissed. Scores of hysterical tips from those living near the Kingsbury Run section were run down and dismissed as worthless.
 Floating in Turgld River
 Finding of the 10th victim on July added no clew, only @ deeper note of horror. The victim, an un- identified man, had been dismem- bered in the same manner as former victims, and the severed members were found floating in the turgid Cuyahoga river near the point where the ninth victim was recently found. Only 4S hours had passed, police judged, between the horrid murder and the finding of the severed limbs in the river, brought to the surface by the churning of passing steam CTS, or borne downstream by flood waters. The head was not found.
 Spurred by this ghastly proof that SO terrible murderer is still at large, Cleveland police redoubled their efforts to pierce the wall of mystery behind which the fnadman may be plotting further horrors.

 Cleveland, July S.-Ten times in little more than two years, the coldly skillful knife of an unknown mad man has done its grisly work, and 10 times some passerby has been mortified to come upon the severed members of the dissected dead.
 Yet puzzled police seem as far from a solution, as far from catch ing the mad butcher as they were In November of 1884 when the headless and dissected bodies of Ed ward Andrassy and an unidentified elderly man were found at the foot of Q hill bordering Ktngsbury Run. This muddy creek flows through Q valley overgrown with brush and un- dergrowth, 6 jungle in the midst of an industrial city, mocking the fac- tories and homes that draw back from the edge of Its banks.
 The Same Twisted Brain
 At intervals of from one to three months ever since, the hacked bodies of murder victims have been ap- bearing with sickening regularity. Only two of the 10 have ever been identified, leading police to believe that the cunning murderer deliber- ately chose victims who would not betray him in death. In several cases the head was never found.
 But in every case the devilish skill of the murderer, who severed limbs at the joints in a way that bespoke either & medically trained man or a

COnrOy's Stay Here
Told By Wne's Kin

In Washington, Conroy made
his home with Philip Caruso, a
florist, who at that time lived at
232 First st. S. w., but has since
moved to the 14O0 block of Otis
st. N. E.
Mr.. Caruso, when asked about
Conroy, said the youth, who mar
ried niece of his, was only in
Washington several months, and
was without work most of this
time. His idleness. Mr.. Caruso
added, was merely because he
would not work. for he had sew
eral opportunities to accept en-
ployment.
Finally, when Mrs. Conroy's
family could no longer support the
couple and their two children,
they gave the family enough
money to get back to Chicago and
had received no word of them
until they were informed of Con-
roy's arrest.
Mr.. Caruso operates a flower
stand at the corner of Eighth and
F Streets Northwest.
