STATUS OF LENSES
 STILL UNDECIDED
Commissioner Connor to Issue Ruling Interpreting
 New Law on RehectOrs

] Automobile operators seem to be pretty much in the dark about the requirements of the new reflector law which will be effective July 1. Deepest in the dilemma are those who own new cars with reflector lenses on the tail-lights, which might not be approved by the com- missioner.
 As yet Commissioner Michael A. Connor has issued no announce ment of approval of any descrip- ton of ,tail-light reflector lens. He has announced his approval of sey- eral varieties of ordinary refiectors, which may be attached to the rear of the vehicle.
 The legislature bill governing the installation of reflectors to all ve- hicles was signed yesterday by Gov- ernor Cross. All not complying with the statute are subject to fine of not more than $.
 Almost all new cars constructed later than 1895 are equipt with tail- light lenses that are also refiectors. Whether Commissioner Connor will approve of all or any of the built in re1iectors Is the paramount ques- ton. Tn. part. the statute says, "shall be equipped with reflector or re- fiecting tail light lens of a size and type approved by the commission CT of motor vehicles, which yefiec- tor or lens shall be attached to the rear of such vehicle in such manner as to reflect rays of light thrown upon same"

Tickets at the Waterbury Buckle Co. persuaded some of the few non- union girls who have been going to work daily since the strike start ed over two weeks ago, not to go into the plant at o'clock this morning, but otherwise there were no new developments on the local CIO strike front.
 No conferences have been Sched- uled at the Buckle Go. for today, 1t was stated by Jerome LaVigne, plant manager. There were no ses- SionS slated at the Chase Go. in con- nection with the three-week- old Noera strike. Picket lines have been doubled at both plants and both sides seem to have settled dowr to watch and wait.
 AIS Quiet
 Police reported that everything is peaceful and quiet at noon today Three or four policemen Strolled ur and down near the Buckle Go. gates during the morning hours and pick cts walked up and down also, or gathered themselves in little groups on the other side of South Main street.
 Freight amounting to 19 tons which was moved the other night to the Laube Transportation Co. plat form just down the street was still divided into two parts. Half of it is back at the Buckle Co. and the other half is still on the platform No union drivers will move any of the material until the strike is set tied.
 Up at the Noera Go. the same sit uation prevailed on smaller scale with pickets moving up and down in front of the plant.
 No Agreement
 The situation, briefly, is this: The Buckle Go. has sent a letter to the union which the union committee and the CIO organizers Alex Cashin and Philip Brainard claim is not as stable as an agreement which the union had drawn up and presented to the company and which the company still refuses to sign.

WATERBURIANS IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT
City of Bristol Facing Liti= gatiOn Over Alleged
 Dangerous Culverts

An accident involving three Wat erburians, on the Wolcott road, Bris- tol, early Wednesday morning result ed in action on the part of the City of Bristol toward the removal of four culverts which extend from sidewalk to the road, that same morning.
 In the accident, Wednesday morn- ing. a car operated by Frank Wallace of Oakland street, Waterbury struck one of the culverts and turned over causing injuries to Miss Rose Foley, of Lockhart avenue and Mrs. Eliza beth Fusco of 37 Fuller street, Wat erbury.
 Case Suits
 During the past year several au- tomobile accidents have apparently been caused by the culverts which provide a means for residents of the street to get into their driveways. As a result of these accidents the city of Bristol is faced with two law suits, a claim for damages and the possibility of the fourth claim as a result of the latest crash.
 Another Waterburian, George R. Burns has already filed suit against the city of Bristol, as a result of a crash into a culvert. Other plain tiffs are Morris Sherman of Hart ford and George M. Rosen of New Britain. Superintendent of Public Works Daniel J. Donovan stated Wednesday afternoon that he had started removing the culverts. Three culverts on the west side of the street and one on the east side are to be removed, he said.
 He said he plans to drop the side walks so that the property owners can get to their driveways and tc widen the entire street to either 36 or 40 feet. The street is now 30 feet wide.

MARIO D| CECC0 |. LEADS CONCERT
Brilliant Program to Be Presented This Evening
 in NeWtOWn

Great interest is being shown in the next concert of the Newtown Orchestral society which is to be held in the Edmond Town Hall this evening, at 8:30 o'clock. Mario Di Cecco, the conductor, has selected a brilliant program and for the past several weeks has been putting his players through many strenuous rehearsals. The soloist for the occasion will be the distinguished American contralto Grace It slie, fa- nous as an oratorio singer with the leading choral societies in this coun- try as well as for her appearances in concert, opera and on the radio, From the interest manifested not only in Newtown but in surrounding towns, there is every indication that this will be the best attended con- cert of the orchestfa's season to date.
 MT. Di Cecco has selected for the opening number, the lovely Haydn Symphony No. 2s in D Major to be followed by Massenet's overture Phedre. Other numbers will be Handel,s concerto No. 10 ir G Minor and one of the popular Strauss waltzes, the Fruhlingstim- men. One of ths most interesting items of the program is the color full and melodious Capricio Italienne by Tchaikowski, work based on that composers impressions of Ital- ian folk tunes.
 For the first time since its in- ception the orchestra at this con- cert will play accompaniments for the soloist. Miss Leslie will sing with full orchestra the Deh'vieni from Mozart,s Nozze al Figaro and the stirring Habanera from Bizet's opera Carmen. With her own &C., companist, Miss Alice Griselle, Miss Leslie will also sing a group of five songs ranging from the serene ly beautiful Ave Maria of Schubert to stirring Hymn to the Sun by Georges.
 The Orchestral Society counts itself fortunate in having been able to secure the services of such a well-known artist as Miss Leslie. Considered generally by American musical critics as one of the half dozen leading contraltos now be- fore the public, she has in the past few years become one of the most popular figures in oratorio and on the concert stage. She has sung with most of the leading musical or- ganizations and has long been a familiar radio personality, having sung for many years with the WEAF Opera Company. Her voice Is one of extraordinary range with full, rich lower tones and high register un- usual in a contralto.
