 nais Out of Country

Conducting one of their most sensational sessions since the beginning of the Waterbury probe seven weeks ago, the Waterbury Extraor- dinary grand jury today delved into a variety of angles, and called a number of new and important wit neSseS. The new witnesses included Finance Commis- SiOner John H. GOsS; John Golden, director of the New Haven Public Works Department; Claims Attorney Vincent A. Scully of the office of the corporation counsel; Harry A. Hanigan, assistant treas urer of the Diamond Ginger Ale Company; Miss Daisy Lord, a teacher at Wilby High School; John Fitzgerald, City Hall Electrician; and Donate Pietroria, proprietor of Bristol grill.
 Others On Recall
 On recall were Francis Troy and John w. Meaney, auditors of the George H. Kingsley & Co.,, official checkers of the city's books for period of eight years. It was reliably reported that the jury would extend its probe into the horse racing rac- kets.
 The probe grew more interesting today with the revelation that two more important witnesses are miss ing and that both are presumably in foreign countries. Enoch E. Borg nais, auditor, who worked here daily checking the city's books as en em-

GEORGE KUNZE
 IS DISCHARGED
Found Guilty Two Weeks Ago-His Case Was Re-
 opened Today

Found guilty two weeks ago of drunken driving and fined $100 and costs, George Kunze, 32, of 170 South Elm street, was freed in city court today by Judge Edward Mas colo, who allowed the case to be re- opened yesterday, today heard ad- ditional testimony and gave Kunze 8 discharge.
 Kunze was arrested March r af- ter a minor accident at Meadow and Field streets. After several con- tinuances of his case, he was ar- raigned in traffic court April 4. Af- ter hearing testimony by Motor Patrolman George McElligott, Pa trolman Patrick Kennedy and Louis Shaker, owner of the car which was struck, Judge Mascolo found Kunze guilty of the charge.
 Fined In First Trial
 The defense at that time had Kunze as its only witness. Attorney Joseph Davis, Kunze's lawyer, said he had other witnesses but had been unable to get them for the hearing The court refused a further continu- ance and fined Kunze $100 and costs.
 Yesterday Judge Mascolo granted a motion for the reopening of the case, and heard testimony by two friends of Kunze that he had been sober a few minutes before the ac- cident. A third friend gave similar testimony today.
 An important factor in the dis charge of Kunze today was that he speaks with a guttural accent. This the judge said, may have led the policemen to think that Kunze's speech was the result of drinking.
 Kunze said that he had three bot ties of beer before the accident but denied that he was drunk.

YOUNG BUSINESS
 MAN STILL LOST
Andrew Carnegie Whit field Disappeared Some-
 where With Airplane
By EARL l.. STEELE

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, April 19-CUP)-Po- lice began searching every hangar on Long Island today for the little red and silver airplane in which Andrew Carnegie Whitfield disap- peared mysteriously last Friday with only enough gas for three hours fy- ing.
 He is the 28-year-old nephew and namesake of the late Andrew Car negie, a bridegroom of less than a year, moderately wealthy and re- garded by his family and friends as a steadfast young business man. He and his wife were packed to leave for Bethlehem, Pa, where his firm had transferred him to a better job, when he left home at g a. m. Friday saying he would return fin a few minutes" An hour later he appeared at an airport, took out his plane, told attendants he was going to Brentwood, g miles away, and vanished.
 Mystery DeepcnS
 Almost every hour of his absence increased the mystery as clues or suggestions of his whereabouts were checked and disposed in turn. An intriguing question was: What hap pened to the plane? It couldn't have gone far. Searchers were convinced 1t hadn't crashed. The alternative was that 1t had been hidden.
 Nassau county police obtained an order from the U. s. department of commerce today and started out to search every private, public and abandoned hangar on the island on the 1O0-mile stretch between Roose- welt Field, where he took of, to Montauk Point, at the extreme tip

these nutritional elements, without
which good noC1riShment may be

Here is what our magic question
box tells US. Mother Goose" was
once a real live woman. She was
born in 1865 and her name, when
she was q little girl, was Elizabeth
Foster.
BECAME MRS. GOOSE
When she was 20 years old, she
met a man by the name of Isaac
Goose and they were married.
That made her name Elizabeth
Goose, don't you see?
Whenever you see a picture of
''Mother Goose" you will notice
she is always pictured as an old
lady. This was because she lived
to be 80 years old and used to
sing rhymes in story form to her
grandchildren.
Way back in 1897, Charles Per.
rault, the famous French writer,
published the Mother Goose
Melodies" and included in these
were the very rhymes Elizabeth
Goose sang to her grandchildren.
Because she loved to compose
these rhymes for the children,
she was called Mother Goose" by
them.
RHYMES PUBLISHED
In the year 1716, up in Boston,
