was deeply religious and had dream
ed OF becoming q nun, although
poverty prevented her entering u

II was evident that she had been
lured or forced into an automo-
bile and she was so shy that police
believed II she entered the car vol

II was after midnight when Mr..
and Mrs. Mortimer Hersch heard q
girls screams from q car parked
near their home. They said the girl
cried out: please call the police.
I'm being hurt, terribly hurt"
Theory Of Police
With this soant evidence, the
theory was; The girl was probably
knocked unconscious by the auto
mobile crank and dragged into a car
She probably had carried her coat
and beret and these, together with
the crank, were thrown into the va.
cant lot, Then she was taken TO
the darkened street, near the
Hersch home, and assaulted. Since
she never reached church, II was
presumed that she was held o pris-
oner for Ave hours and violated
repeatedly. She was then dubbed 10

car through ga e00-foot blind alley

house where II was found Tuesday

OF her killers hair, and there were

finger nails, evidently scratched
from the killers face.

MAYOR HAYES in
ORDINANCE VETO

four classifications of permittees
and provides that should one OF
these permit holders lose his license
and close for go days that he may
not reopen.
Cited as major argument
against the ordinance was the con-
tention that should an hotel at Ex-
change Place for any reason have
Its liquor license suspended and de-
lay in return Of the permit ensue,
then such an hotel would be with
out recourse to continue business
minus the right to serve guests
liquor and, further. another hotel
might not be reopened In the spe-
cific locality, within 75O feet, or
about one-seventh Of a mile Of
area.
Property owners contended,s also,
that the situation where rents are
concerned, Is such that only firms
purveying liquor can be found for
tenants In some sections.
+ The property owners were agreed
that there are too many liquor
permits in the city but commended
that the ordinance was not the best
method Of eliminating increase Of
these permits.
In view Of the contest in the board
OF aldermen over the original ordi-
nance and the vote by. which the
second ordinance was passed, it was
deemed unlikely today that a two
thirds vote can be obtained to over
ride the mayors veto.

Illuminated Streets
 Accidents Preventive
Visitors to Connecticut Impressed With Well=Lighted
 Thoroughfares Districts to Be Improved

good illumination is essential to safe motor vehicle operation, and that any decrease in the number of lamps or the amount of illumination invariably results ill more accidents.
 Practically all of Connecticuts street lamps at the present time are electric incandescents, there being but very few of the arc light type now i'll use.
 The number of street lamps used by Connecticut cities and towns vary generally in proportion to the popu- lation, but even the smaller of the small towns can boast of at least two or three lights at the center of the community. The numbers vary up ward to nearly 4,000 in New Haven and more than 5000 in Hartford. The lamps likewise vary in the in- tensity of the illumination provided although the tendency is toward the provision of greater candlepower, since statistical records have dem- onstrated that the more light, the less the auto accident and fatality totals.
 Extensions Favored
 Motor vehicle safety authorities are unanimous that the good light ing provided in the more thickly settled areas should be extended to the rural highways, since 1t has been shown that adequate illumina- tion of such roads, particularly the ones carrying main artery traffic, re- suits in a decrease not only in night time crashes but also in the severity of the injuries sustained in those accidents which do occur. Less than g per cent of the total 24-hour traf- fic exists at night, but nearly three quarters of the auto accident fatal ities occur in the dark hours. Statis- tics taken from various parts of the country where highway lighting on dangerous roads has been provided have proved that sharp decline in motor fatalities resulted.
 Police authorities are likewise ar dent advocates of better street light ing, since good illumination is con- Sidered one of the best deterrents to crime of all sorts
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-01

As the season of increased traffic arrives and brings with it the an- nual increase in night time driving, both Connecticut motorists and the thousands of tourists from other states who will visit Connecticut during the summer will find their driving during the dark hours made safer by well illuminated streets, of which Connecticut. according to state public utilities commission records, has approximately 1900 miles.
 Rural Highways
 Although but very few of the miles of lighted road are on the rural highways, Connecticut's municipali- ties have provided good illumination on their most heavily travelled cen tral states by the installation Of more than 55,0O0 public street lamps. The number of electric lights has been gradually increased in each of the more recent years as traffic ofli- cials reached the conclusion that

PATENT MEDICINE
 WRANCLE SETTLED


 Hartford. Conn, June 1-(UP)- Superior Court Judge Robert L. Munger today took under advise ment decision on Q test case to de- termine whether seller of patent medicines should know the effect on the human system of those medicines.
 The case was brought to the court on appeal of Herman Sodel, New Britian. who was denied 8 permit by the state pharmacy commission to sell patent medicines for internal use, after he had been examined by the commission.
 The commission contended 1t had power to refuse licenses to any ap- plicant 1t considered incompetent to sell medicine.
