GRAND ST. GRILL CHANGING HANDS
''YOung Rocco" DiOriO to Take Over Place; Waver-
 erIy Inn Not Sold

Negotiations whereby the Brass City Grill, popular local restaurant on Grand street across from the post office, will pass into the own- ership of "Young Rocco" Diorio have been almost completed, 1t was learned by The Democrat today. The present owner of the restaur- ant is Frankie Burns.
 Meantime, Rocco Diorio, owner of Diorio's restaurant on Bank street and Waverly inn in Cheshire and q cousin of Young Rocco, said that reports that Waverly Inn was to be sold were absolutely false". Sev- eral such reports have been heard here in the past week. Mir. Diorio admitted that he had been ap- preached, but said that he does not contemplate any sale of the we'll known inn.
 "Young Rocco" has been enc gagged in the restaurant business at various times. He operated res- taurant on Bank street for some years. He has also been associated with restaurant in New York and Bermuda. The deal whereby he will take over the Brass City Grill is expected to be completed next week.
 Craig Levine, former manager of the Hotel Taft in New Haven, att tempted to negotiate for the pur- chase of Waverly Inn, 1t was learn ed, but MT. Diorio said he was not interested in selling. The interior of the inn has been recently redec- orated, at heavy expense. The inn has been under MT. Diorio's ownership for the past several years.

Joseph Gedeon Has
 Been Giuer1 Release
Continued from Page D

Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine dismissed Sabbatino'S s statements as "the allegations of a lawyer for 8 man who is in seri- ous trouble" While asserting that he was confident that there was no basis for them, Valentine said that he was ordering a departmental investigation.
 Police Laugh at Story
 The police ridiculed Gedeon's theory that a Boston millionaire, frustrated" by Veronica Gedeon's refusal of his attentions, hired men who strangled the girl and her mother, Mrs. Mary Gedeon, 54, and fatally stabbed Frank Byrnes, who rented roonf in Mrs. Gedeon's i've room apartment. Even the existence of such a man was doubted.
 But an inquiry was ordered after Charles Sturtevant, laundry pro- prietor, reported that Mrs. Gedeon told him in February that a "mil- lionaire" was taking Veronica out on many occasions and sending her lavish presents, and that the girl had once gone on party with the man on his yacht.
 Mrs. Gedeon told Sturtevant, he said, that she had demonstrated with her daughter and told her that she was leading too gay a life.
 The laundryman also asserted that when he was delivering the Gedeon laundry last Saturday after noon about 4:45 o'clock, he had seen a Swarthy, heavily built man stand ing in the hallway near the en- trance to the Gedeon's fourth floor apartment.
 When Deaths Occurred
 Investigators have established that Mrs. Gedeon was killed short- ly after Il p. m. Saturday. Her body was tossed under bed. Byrnes was the next to die. He was stabbed with an instrument such as an ice pick or an upholsterer's needle. Veronica was slain soon after she returned from a date at 3 a. m. Sunday. Her naked body was thrown across a bed. The murders were discovered Sunday afternoon by Gedeon and another daughter, Mrs. Ethel Kudner, when they arrived at the apartment for an Easter din- ner. Gedeon had not been living with his wife but their relations were amicable.
 Detectives, asserting that they were still far from satisfied with Gedeon's statement of his activities during the hours when the Slayings occurred, said they hoped to ob- tain contradictory information from two of the eccentric upholsterer's woman friends, known as Big Ruth" and Little Ruth," who have not yet been located.
 Gedeon Discrepancies
 Captain William T. Reynolds said that one of the main discrep- in Gedeon's alibi was the fact that he was apparently broke" the day the bodies were discovered but that he had plenty of money to buy beer and bowl all night two days later"
 Gedeon admitted ownership of the revolver which was found in his shop. He said he obtained it from a Hungarian friend and that it had been in his possession 28 to % years. It was on a charge of possessing the weapon without permit that the police were able to hold him for questioning in connection with the slayings.

eral deficits by combining funds now in the treasury but appearing as deficits on the citys books.
 The purpose of the police bill is to take care of the present acting lieutenants and sergeants. They have & Sergeant's and lieutenant's rating but can't draw any pay of that rank.
 |. What Republicans Seek
 The republicans will seek once more to have passed a bill requir- ing that b:ds be called on all con- tracts involving more than $1,000. At the present time if department head states in writing that the i1a- terests of the city would be best served by not calling for bids the work .can be let out without com- petitive bidding. For several ses- sions the republicans have sought vainly to have this law changed.
 Another g. Q. p. bill pushes for- ward the date for filing the ito be made" list. Another measure would provide for voting machines in pri- mary contests providing five per cent of the electorate SO requested Still another would have the g. O p. members of the finance board named by the republican members of the board of aldermen and an- other would require that all of the mayors board appointments be ap- proved by two-thirds of the board oi aldermen. At the present time only a majority vote is needed to obtain approval

 ing the argument Paul Dean arrived and remarked that the Deans didn't need $125 8 month newspaper re- porters writing about them.
 By this time the entire Cardinal team, except Leo Durocher and Pep per Martin, had gathered around Miley and Kupsinet. The Cardinals were in uniform. Some one showed Miley and the battling started. Kup- cinet grabbed Dean, and aq St. Louis player hit him on the left cheek bone. Dean quickly got out of the center of the fighting.
 A player reached over with pair of spiked shoes and cracked Miley on the forehead. The two sports writers were surrounded by players with arms and fists flying. Sideline observers said seven or eight play CTS were punching at the two news papermen at one time. A floor lamp and a sand jar were smashed.
 Mike Gonzales Stops It
 Finally Mike Gonzales, Cardinals coach, leaped in and halted the fight ing. When the Cardinals were quieted down Miley said to Manager Frankie Frisch:
 What's the matter, Francis, can't you control those ball players of yours?"
 "No, I can't" Frisch said.
 Later Frisch said that Miley an- tagonized the Cardinals by calling them bunch of buShers just after they had lost 7-6 ball game.
 Before the Cardinals dispersed one of them yelled:
 We're stil lthe Gas House gang"
 Dean Started Trouble
 Dean started the whole trouble" |" Kupcinet said, when the fight start ed he was too yellow to get in 1t himself. I challenged him and he wouldn't fight, 50 I told him to name the Cardinal player he wanted to do his fighting for him and send him down. They're the Gas House gang all right, but they won't fight unless they know they've got the edge on you"
 Mrs. Dean was blamed by hotel employees for starting the whole bat tie. She kept egging Dean to go get Miley all the way from the ga- rage to the elevator, they said. Fans who sat next to her at the ball park heard her upbraid Miley several times, once saying: "I'll scratch your eyes out"

 Approximately 3,400 workers were out and officials of the central labor union said they hoped to call out "every workman in Wilmington" :" Officials of several unions awaited word from their international ofd- cers before ordering their members out.
 Every Policeman Busy
 Every policeman in Wilmington was ordered on duty, but despite their vigilance bricks had crashed through windows of several down. town department stores and of a number of trolley cars and busSes.
 No one had been injured In the first hours of the strike.
 Today's strike grew out of the strike of truck drivers called 19 days ago by the International Brotherhood of Transportation Workers, marked by futile efforts at reconciliation and minor violence.
 Last night the central labor lir- ion decided on a general strike. Early today police raided meet ing of the Brotherhoods Local l01 and arrested Edward Krumbock, secretary-treasurer, and Raymond Cohen, business agent.
 Federal Mat Grabbed
 In another hall, across the street, Edward E. Mcdonald, federal labor coi1ciliator, was pleading with the union heads comprising the central labor union. He and the union heads rushed out into the street where the union men were protesting angrily to police. He was arrested, pushed into patrol wagon, and had been carried some, distance toward the jail when he got police to look at his credentials which obtained his release.

LET LABOR SPEAK

The general membership of organ
lied workers is making its voice heard
on labor peace. The conference be-
tween committees Of the A. f. Of L.
and Go has been flooded with mes
sages asking an end to conflict. The
appeals represent democracy in prac-
tice. Labor executives don't know
what the general membership is think
ing, unless the general membership
tells them. So it is up to the great
mass Of labor to tell their national,
state and local labor heads what they
want If enough of them do this, the
heads Of labor will know what is in
the minds of the organized workers
and will carry out that expressed
desire.

level, in spite of the approach OF cold
weather, H. W. Lancashire, general
manager of the Buckeye Brewing
Company, simply said, Buckeye sells
fast because it is made slowly
"It takes us nearly three months
to make a bottle of beer" says Mr..
Lancashire, "but only by permitting
the Kraeusen- brewing process to be
carried on unhurriedly can we produce
beer that matches the flavor and quail
ity of the finest European products.
According to Mr.. Lancashire, the
Remembering process used by
Buckeye is exactly the same as that
which famous European brewers have
used for centuries. 1t is called the
champagne process of natural carbon
alton. Beer made by this method is
aged for months before it is released
to the consumer. Incidentally, it is
this aging process that is responsible
for the Buckeye slogan, Months in
brew, then served to you"
