RETIREMENT BOARD ACTS ON JUDGE
(Continued from Page D

general assembly. Criminals of all types from the embryonic to the Acknowledgements cases = marital troubles -non-support charges and all the ordinary and extraordinary affairs of 8 police court have been placed before Judge John F. Me- Grath for disposition during his 31 years of city court service.
 Of recent years Judge McGrath has teamed with Judge Edward Mas colo in presiding over the city court bench. During the past two weeks Judge Mascolo has presided alone.
 First Named in 1916
 Judge McGrath first became 8 judge during the term of office of Governor Marcus Holcomb, which was in 1916.
 He said today that he has not as yet decided whether or not he will continue in the practice of his law profession. In addition to his judgeship he has also carried on an active civil practice - not particu- larly as trial lawyer, but especially in connection with appearances be- fore commissions seeking licenses for clients of various businesses. Of late years this has been especially true in the case of applications for liquor licenses.
 Maintained Office
 Judge McGrath has maintained his office at Ill West Main street where he was in association, although not partnership with, Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch, Attorney J. Gregory Lynch and Attorney Walter Lynch. He re- sides at 32 Roseland avenue.
 Judge McGrath is a native of Wa terbury, and was educated in local schools before entering Holy Cross College where he studied one year. Later he entered St. Francis College in Brooklyn, N. r., and in 1899 was enrolled at Yale Law School where he received his bache- Tor of law degree in 1902.
 Early in his career he was assoc ciated with the late Attorney Charles w. Bauby, and was later a partner of Attorney Abner w. Hayes.
 In State Senate
 He served in the state senate in 19l3-14 and unsuccessfully sought election as mayor on the Republi- can ticket in 1914. In the last election he supported Mayor Frank Hayes for election.
 His name was mentioned by Spe- cial Investigator Hugh Alcorn in ths grand jury report, with number of other prominent state and local attorneys, as one of the beneficiaries of the city in connection with spe- cial legal services.

(Continued from Page D 1900 killed and wounded. Total casualties for today have not yet been estimated.
 Officials said that objectives of the afternoon raiders apparently were the power station and water tower.
 The new raids came as represen- tatives of world powers inspected the bomb-torn city to obtain evidence for new diplomatic protests to Japan against the bombings of civilian populations.
 Foreign military observers and consular authorities had the unan- imous, opinion that attacks on the civilian areas were entirely unwar- ranted. The Japanese planes have bombed some legitimate objectives, but it was pointed out that the dropping of bombs on the bund, at least half a mile from the nearest anti-aircraft battery, must be con- demned. The Chinese had anti aircraft guns near the international Shameen district for several weeks, but these had been removed after protest by British authorities.
 Un Tokyo, French Ambassador Charles Arsene Henry made repre- sentations" to the Japanese foreign office. In Paris it was revealed that Henry had been instructed to pro- test specifically against the bomb- ing on the French Hospital Paul Doumer in Canton's suburbs-Ed)
 United Press staff correspondents toured the city and reported that only few places of military import ance have been damaged. They saw hundreds of casualties, few of them soldiers.
 The foreign military attaches as- serted that the civil administration and public utility buildings did not constitute military centers unless an army actually were marching toward the city. These buildings, however, were among the apparent targets of the bombers, and caused the huge death tol lin crowded civilian areas nearby.
 The diplomatic corps was parti- cularly aroused to the fact that the raiding planes frequently power dived over foreign consulates in the Shameen district. This district was believed naturally safe out of re- spect for international rights.
 (In Hong Kong, Japanese Consul T. Makamura said that Eff the great powers would coperate in requesting formation of non-com- battant zones in Chinese cities, in addition to appointing observers to insure their re-militarization, am sure that the Japanese government would be sympathetically inclined" :" -EdD
 The tour of the city revealed that almost every section has suffered. Weary rescue corps, braving Japan csc machine guns, still were con- fronted with great piles of debris under which hundreds were believed buried. Cries for help were audible.
 It was estimated that many bod les would not be uncovered for weeks.
 The operating room of the French Paul Doumer Hospital was wrecked by two bombs. Bombs fell 200 yards the French Cathedral and killed a number of Red Cross workers.
 Edward H. Lockwood of Peru, Ind, secretary of the Y. M. c. A., said that he carried a 16-year-old boy to safety but that the youth died in his arms while his mother stood nearby.
