ARMY TO TEST
'WARNINCNEI'
IN AIR GAMES
Civilians at Observation
Posts Will Report on
Carolina "Raid"
BY WALT LOGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

FORT BRAGG, N. c., Oct. 3.
tUP)-A Warning net of civilian
observers will strain for the sound
of dronihg motors in the night
during the next two weeks. mo-
tors Of giant planes intent on
bombing" North Carolina cities
in the most extensive air maneu-
verS in the nations history.
The observation posts, manned
by civilians, must report speed,
number, direction and altitude of
the planes to army headquarters
here before the planes can drop
their .figurative loads of death and
destruction and return to their
base at Langley Field, Va.
Upon success of these warning
nets will depend future plans for
defense plans of the entire East
crn seaboard, army authorities
declare. This test is limited only
to the eastern coast Of North Car
DINA but if successful here, army
men believe in event of war the
system could be extended along
the thousands of miles of coast
line of this country.
The best of the army's coast
artillery and aircraft defense
units. including the regiment from
Fort Totten, N. Y, whose duty 1t
is to defend New York City from
air raids, have been assembled
here.
ATTACKERS FROM ATLANTIC
There will be nothing simple
about operation of the warning
net. Conditions will simulate war
closely as possible, and as the en-
envy assemblies somewhere in the
Atlantic" observers must scan the
sky over a space of 600 square
miles. The enemy will be crafty,
too, and may send "decoy' fleets
to confuse observers. The real
bombers, flying at $4,000 feet and
scarcely heard even with the
army's latest plane detecting de-
vices, may be overlooked as civil
lians note a smaller, decoy group
up only 10000 feet - a decoy
group that may play hide-and-
seek with the entire warning net.
But from Atlantic Beach might
come message to the defense
captain at Fort Bragg: -
MANY planes passed here y :45
D. m. heading west. Flying high.
The defense captain orders:
"Alert the line: Burgaw-ken-
ansville-Kingston. A dvise the
fields" He directs as he studies
the map. A colored pin is placed
at Atlantic Beach with a note of
the time. The captain settles
back, to await another report 1t
comes at 10 p. m. from Jackson
Vile: "Nine planes flying west
very high. Lots of noise"
The captain notes position OF
the planes and sends out another
order:
"Alert MISUNDERSTANDING
Wilson. Alert the pursuit squad
rons." -,
The pursuit squadronS,. laSt
army fighting ships, are hidden in
fields, their position known only
to army headquarters here.
REPORTS ARE COORDINATED
Meanwhile the defense captain
studies the reports. "Flying high.
Lots of noise" He becomes suspi-
cious of the formation. AS he tries
to figure out the enemy's plans an
assistant reports the fields are

Dombey was king of swing, then
she would be queen.
The lights went out. Every last
light in the glamorous Golden
Bowl.
But instead of a golden spot
light, instead of shaft of light,
there was Il sickening roar of
sound. At the shot a woman
screamed. A drunk let out a hila-

Charles TOcchiO Com. mended for Heroic Work
 in China

Heroism of Charles P. Tocchio of 1918 East Main street while with the Asiatic fleet of the U. s. Navy on the Whangpoo river, China, sev- eral years ago, is brought to light in a statement issued by the vet erans press relations bureau. Toe chic has been awarded Q medal by the Navy Department for saving six Chinese women from bandits He was assisted by Seaman Walter H. Ford of 60 Meriden road, this city, his buddy.
 As radio operator, Tocchio was sent ashore to test wave lengths, being accompanied by Ford. While on shore, the bandits attacked the house in which the women were sheltered, and the women fled to the sailors for protection. Tocchio held them off with a machine gun while Ford returned to the ship to get aid. Several boatloads of ma rines sped to the scene to disperse the bandits.
 In true Chinese custom, the fhth- CT of one of the girls offered her to Tocchio but the sailor declined the honor.

MRS. SCOTT IS PRISONER IN
 COUNTY JAIL
Cannot Be Released on /. Bonds; Prosecutors
 Study Evidence

Charged with the murder of her husband, Mrs. Thursa Scott, 25, of this city, re- mained a stoic prisoner in New Haven County Jail to- day, as officials considered what procedure would be taken against her. Because of the murder charge against her she cannot be released on bonds. It remains for States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald to decide whether or not . grand jury will be impaneled Co determine If Mrs. Scott shall be tried on charge of first degree murder. Without grand jury such . charge cannot be lodged.
 Study Evidence
 States Attorney Fitzgerald and his aides, Assistant States Attorney Walter W. Smyth and County De- tective Roland c. filling are today studying all evidence and tran scripts of testimony given to police by Mrs. Scott. They have also questioned Mrs. Scott and obtained statements from her.
 Her confession, which was given fo police after almost a week of claiming ignorance of the cause of her husbands death, is also in the hands of the states attorney. Mrs. Scott has admitted that she shot and killed her husband, Howard Scott, 36, the morning of August il, after . quarrel in their Sheffield street home
 Should States Attorney Fitzger- ald ask for a grand jury to weigh the evidence against Mrs. Scott that jury would not necessarily re- turn true bill of first degree mur- der. It might charge second degree murder, or even manslaughter or simple assault.
 Defending Self
 Mrs. Scott claims that she was defending herself against her hus- band-and that she wrested the gun from his hand just before fir- ing the fatal shot. Apparently there gre not witnesses.
 Tn the event grand jury is called it will be the first such procedure inaugurated since States Attorney Fitzgerald took office in June. Dur ing the early part of that month he was appointed to succeed States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, who tenAered his resignation. Also at thak time, Assistant States Attor- ney Smyth succeeded MT. Fitzger- aid in that office.
 Fitzgerald is 36. He has been connected with the states attor- neT's office since 1881, however, for during that year he was appointed assistant states attorney.
 Grand Jury In 1897
 The last grand jury in Water bury was that which last year re- tuned true bill of first degree murder against Arthur Hiyon of Cheshire, who was charged with the staying of his wife, Josephine Sub sequently Hivon pleaded guilty to q second degree murder charge and was sentenced to life imprison- ment at Wethersfield.

to these conventions, as to the town, nominae directly and do not elect further slate of delegates.
 yToWn Chairman Crary will open up Monday nights caucuses with rkading of the official call and in- structions to delegates as to the methods Of organization. Each con- Vention will thereupon caucus sep atately at which time officers for the meeting will be chosen and election of delegates proceed.
 Interest Is Aroused
 @Main interest is centered in the Ufobate, senatorial and state con- ventiong in view Of the expected rfyalry among Democratic candi- dates for support of the delegates. I11 the instance Of the state con- vention there may come up the question of an instructed delegation which the city has customarlly sent. Waterbury Democrats have gone on record as favoring the renomination of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and .. 8. Senator Augustine Loncrgan, but with two avoWed candidates for Lieutenant-goycrnor there may be a demand that the delegates re- main unpledged entirely.
 sEvidence of the extent to which Unreliable reports circulated Thurs- day when the 18th senatorial dis trict primary was held was an nouncement of the candidacy of Attorney John P. Tobin for nom ination in the district. The rumots Thursday were to the effect that Attorney Tobin was the real" can- didate of the delegates sought by Attorney Daniel F. Pickett, loser in the primary. Another rumor was to the effect that Rep. Daniel J. Ma nancy Wa5 the candidate for whom former Senator Pickett was seeking support with his delegate list.
 No Part With Pickett
 Nor did the town committee play active part in the surprise Pickett Campaign, which lacked all aspect of organization part in spite of the garnering of more than 1000 votes of less than 5000 against the com bincd organizations of the Smith group and the Culhane political faction. Certain members of the town committee, friendly to Dan" Pickett over the years, represented him personally in few of the eleven districts, very few. So far as committing the organization to this support, however, they denied that this could be the case, what with town committee sanction of the Smith Voters Committee delegate list.
 sMisleading reports in Republican newspapers were to the effect that the town committee had made a fight" in the Pickett-town commit.

tee-Smith list primary. But these reports gained only laughter from those who realized that had the town committee set Its organization to work the vote of less than 5000 ballots would have been double in the district where 8,329 Democrats are registered on the primary lists.
 Several Names Missing
 At that, several score of voters found that their names had been taken from the primary list as of about two years ago when the lists were revised in the office of the registrar of voters and new regis tration was ordered. Had all of these voted, or had there been in- terest in the primary beyond the minor factionalism of party units, then the vote would have been more representative of the feeling of the electorate, it was remarked by ob- servers today.
 The caucuses Monday night will be held in several offices at city hall, the aldermanic chamber city court, mayors office, probate court and assessors office, If need arises. With only 29 delegates to part Of the caucuses, Is to others, the meet ing places will be apportiOned &C., cording to size Of the delegations.
 Call for the caucuseS went out to- day by Dennis J. Clancy, Demo- cratic town committee secretary.

Publisher Pape To
 Get COP Delegates
Local Delegation Pledge to His Candidacy for Cover
 nOr-ResOIution Presented at Town Convention

William J. Pape, publisher of the Republican, American, will have the support of the Waterbury delega- tion to the Republican state con- vention next month for the nomi- nation for governor.
 A resolution, presented at the town convention last night by Wal ter A. Smethurst, seconded by Mrs. Phoebe Emmons and Domenic Santoro, was passed by the GA dele gates and alternates at the Central Y. M. c. A., thereby bringing into the open the candidacy which was mentioned by Attorney Maurice P. Wrenn, candidate for the probate judgeship, a few weeks ago. Attor- ney Wrenn circularized letter in behalf of the Pape nomination and mention of this was made in vari- ous of the state papers then and later.
 It has been variously rumored since the start of the Waterbury grand jury investigation, with its resultant g arrests and pending trials of most of the defendants, that Mir. Pape would seek the gubernatorial nomination and that States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, Sr., special prosecutor for the grand jury, would look for the nomination for United States Senator.
 Both MT. Alcorn and Mir. Pape have been unsuccessful candidates for high state office in other years; {; both charged that they were de- feated by what they termed "dou- ble machine" politics and since that time they have engaged in attacks on political organization which, they claimed, initiated against their candidates.
 MT. Pape ran for lieutenant governor six years ago on an Independent" Republican ticket headed by Albert Levitt, of Bedding, former professor and, more latterly, employe of the New Deal at Wash ington, from which he now has turned to -attacker Of Roose- veltian policies.
 MT. Levitt boiled 5,l25 votes that November in 1882, as against PIT, ,503 ballots for John H. Trumbull, of Plainville, regular Republican carl-
