VIOLATOR OF EGG
 LAW FINED TODAY
Judge Heeds Counsel's Plea for Leniency in
 Local Case

Benjamin Newman, Al, of 35 Calu- met street, arrested on February 25 on two charges of violating the law on the sale and marketing of eggs was fined $15 on the first count and $10 and costS on the second by Judge Theobald E. Conway in city court this morning. Newman pleaded guilty to both counts.
 Attorney Herman J. Weisman, rep- resenting the accused, pleaded foI leniency, stating that Newman was newly come to Connecticut from New York and didn't know the laws regarding the sale of Connecticut eggs. One of the charges was that Newman was selling small eggs for large ones. The other charge was that he was selling stale eggs for fresh ones.
 Judge Conway, in imposing the fines, said that he would be lenient because it was Newman's first of- fense.
 Nolles were granted to, the fol- lowing:
 Charles Matuzewski. 29, ATT North Main street, Union City. $20; Adam Schultz, 29, AT North Main street, Naugatuck. $l0: Anthony Slasin- laitis, 2l, S9 Arnold street, $10.

from an employment commission er's ruling the question was whether an employee, William Sinski, on part time work, was entitled to benefits in respect to a day when he remain ed away from work for personal req sons. The commissioner had ruled that Sinski, who stayed away from work to attend motor vehicle hearing to seek restoration of his drivers license, was absent for suf- ficient cause and therefore entitled to benefits for that day, but the court reversed the ruling.
 When Sinski attended the hear ing, the memorandum states, he sacrificed his wages for that day, amounting to s1.68. thus reducing his earning for the week from the usual $8.40 to $6.72. The examiner then decided that Sinski was en- titled to partial unemployment compensation equal to the differ epce between his benefit rate of $8.84 aId his actual earnings of $6.72 plus tt.e statutory bonus of $200.
 This ruling was affirmed by the employment commissioner where upon the Geometric Tool Company

 Should Suffer in Payment of Compensation

contested in court, maintaining that benefits should be equal to the dif- ference between the work offered which was $8.40 and the benefit rate of $8.S4, plus the $2.00 bonus.
 In its appeal the Geometric Tool Company cited three errors in the ruling of the commissioner; finding the claimant eligible for work on the day in question; finding he was an unemployed individual for the purpose of the eligibility and dis qualification provisions of the law; finding he was entitled to receive benefits for the day in question.
 In reaching the decision, the court said 1t agreed with the commission er's interpretation that the claim. ant was available for work and therefore eligible but disagreed with his conclusion that the applicant should not be disqualified, because of sufficient cause.
 Y disagree with the finding of sufficient cause" wrote Judge Els "The employer did not agree and consent to the absence in the full sense the Commissioner found. He merely said 1t was up to the clain- ant. I think the claimants reason for absence was insufficient"
 The court said that its conclusion is in accord with that of Assistant Attorney General Harry Silverstone who said in an opinion on December s:
 we understand that the Unem- ployment Compensation Act is in- tended to place upon industry the burden to make some provision to relieve distress caused by its inabil- ity to provide stable employment And SO. if it rpovides a job which is not a full time job, it Is charged with paying the difference between what it does offer to the employee and the employees benefit rate. If it offers more than the employe takes advantage of. the distress caused by the decreased earnings is not due to the industry. The reason for the failure of the employe to take all the work offered would be imma- terial; the fault Is not attributable to the industry"

CASE
 IS CONTINUED.
Change in Charge Today Causes Counsel to Seek
 POstpOnement

On plea of defense attorney John F. Tobm who stated that he wanted ample time to cheek up on the char acter and background Of Angelo Mastrianno, state witness, the case of Atty George J. Crocicchia, charged with driving under the in- fiuence, reckless driving, and evad- ing responsibility, was continued for two weeks by Judge Lambert Deg nan, of Southington, wllo replaced Judge T. E. Conway in trafnc court this morning. Judge Conway dis qualified himself in the case yes- terday.
 Mastrianno. 49, of 45 Cottage place, testified that he was standing directly in front of the main en-f trance to the Chase Co. oflices on Grand street on Tuesday, Feb. %, at about 10:30 o'clock when he saw 8 car speeding up Grand street from Meadow street, turn into Field street and come to . stop between the. side door of city had and the fire station. When a police car followed shortly, Mastrianno said he went over to the automobile on Field | street.
 Previous to Mastrianno's testi- rnony, Officer Walter Hayes stated he was standing on the corner of West Main and Willow streets when he heard a crash and saw a car swerve down Freight street to Grand street. He said he gave chase on the running board of another car, but lost the fleeing vehicle at the corner of Church and Grand streets where traffic was heavy. Officer Hayes stated that he then reported the incident at headquar- ters and Officers Thomas Reiding and John Walsh were sent out to investigate.
 On the stand this morning Offi- cers Walsh and Bedding said they found the Crocicchia car abandoned on Field street and after attempt ing to locate the lawyer at his home and at his office on Grand street, finally found him walking coatless and hatless on Grand street. The officers testified that the lawyer seemed intoxicased. i Other witnesses this morning Albert J. Cruel, of Oakville. and Rocco Longo, of 1908 North Main street. Both Cruel and Longo testi- fled that their cars had been struck at the Willow and West Main intersection, but that they could not identify the driver. '-
 After all the testimony had been heard, Judge Degnan said he found Croccicchia guilty of driving under the influence. Atty Tobin objected, stating that Crocicchia was not charged with driving under the ir- f1uence, but with :ntoxication. Judge Degnan then asked Prosecutor Charles Summa to change the charge of intoxication to driving ua- der the influence.
 Then Atty Tobin asked that the case be continued for month be- cause he had not come to court prepared to contest charges of driv- ling under the influence, and that he would need a month to check up on the witness Mastrianno, upon whose testimony, Atty Tobin said courts decision rested. Judge Deg nan granted . continuance of two weeks.

Special Meeting
 Called Tonight
Special to The Democrat)

Special to The DemOcraD Thomaston, March "A spe-
 cial town meeting will be held tonight for the purpose of de-
 ciding whether there shall be
 a reduction in rent granted to
 Robert Swartz, proprietor of the local theater. The reason
 MT. Swartz wants such a reduc- tion is because such action by
 the town would allow him to
 make plans for building a new theater in the town.
 Unless the town meeting to-
 night votes to allow the reduce
 tion of rent, Swar:z will be
 unable to begin the construc- tion of the theater until such
 time as his present contract with the town expires.
 Thus, the meeting tonight will be largely attended by per- sons who are anxious to have a new modern building con- structed in the center of the town and at no expense to Th0maston.
