several South American countries
and its proposal indicates how
much progress has been made IN
the recent past as a result Of the
Presidents Good Neighbor policy.
Informed observers know that

TWO ARRESTED IN

Two colored men arrested after a disturbance on Bishop street last Friday night, were fined in city court today.

Action Expected On
 Police Radio Hookup
Thon1aston, Watertown in Readiness to Intercept
 Broadcasts From Waterbury Police Department

tendent Roach is in favor of such action feeling that it would great ly enable police agencies in creat- ing a tighter net in which to cap- ture escaping criminals.
 Chief Ryan has long dreamed Of such a plan and from all appear ances it appears that his dream IS about to come true.
 The plan is simple. It means that if crime is committed within the city limits the suburban police would be notified as soon as local police cruisers picked up the message and in the event that the escaping crim- inalS flee toward ThomaSton or Wa tertown, which is more than likely, the police of those towns would be on the lookout for them.
 One-Way Systems
 It comes from very reliable sources that the system will be a one way proposition with the suburban towns equipped to receive the mess ages but they would be unable to broadcast any messages. A two way radio set up would run into con- siderable money and it is felt that at the present time it is more ad- visable to install the one way sys- tenn and in a short time, perhaps, to install the more expensive and much more effective radio tie-up.
 The plan in both Thomaston and Watertown is meeting with the gen. eral approval of the citizens of those towns.

PROTEST FILED
 BY INSPECTOR
Unemployed Doing Plumb ing Jobs Without Obtain=
 ing Necessary Permits

Young men out of work have been interfering with the work of regular plumbers in Waterbury by doing plumbing work on the side, declared Plumbing Inspector James Walker in city court today. He made the statement while testifying against Pietro Persio, g, of 52 Long Hill street, charged with vio- lating the plumbing ordinance by working without a license. Persio was fined $5 and costs by Judge John F. McGrath.
 Fore several months, MT. Walker said, there have been complaints that unlicensed plumbers were working on various jobs about the city. This, said MT. Walker, is high ly unfair to the citys regular plumbers, who pay for license and who follow plumbing as life work.
 He arrested Persio, he said, while the accused was working on a pipe in building on Bank street. Persio claimed he was working for @ plumbing contractor, but the con- tractor in question denied this, and declared he had never seen the young man before in his life.
