DEATH OF zUBCO
 BLAMED ON FALL
Authorities Hold No Suspi- ciOn of Foul Play;
 Autopsy Performed

Possibility that Samuel Zubco, 45, who died at St. Mary's hospital Sat- urday night after a fall from the rear veranda of the three-story building at 796 Bank street, was the victim of foul play is very slight according to authorities who are in- vestigating the fatality.
 Zubco was dicovered by Francis Guinan, IS, of 784 Bank street, and Joseph Provachen, IS, of 174 Rail- road Hill street, when they passed through the yard in the rear of his home. The man was unconscious and lying in a pool of blood.
 The boys notified police who re- moved Zubco to St. Mary's hospi- tai where he died 20 minutes after admittance. Dr. Edward H. Kirsch- baum said the man suffered pos sible skull fracture, compound fracture of the righ elbow, and sev- eral fractured ribs. A report of the autopsy will be given to Coroner John T. Monzani later in the week.
 Zubco was born in Russia and came to this country 20 years ago. There are no known survivors. The body was taken to the Stokes fu- neral home, 694 North Riverside street, when released by the med ical examiner. Funeral arrange ments are incomplete.

fashions.

marked the Easter fashions. Tweeds, of course, there were; tail- ored suits with the flair skirt which is reminiscent of the Sonia Henie costume, but less full, gave indica- ton that some, at least, of the pa- raders had taken on those garments once relegated to Victorian periods and laughed from existence during the reckless era ctter the war. k Men seemed to turn to new toned shades in simpler design, although hats bore rakish feathers and tits of the sporting line. Stripes and plain colors predominated, however, as to suits. Shirts and cravats epito- mixed the blossom season, in some aspects.
 Determined wearers of Easter wardrobes experienced chagrin dur- ing the early hours when, after a dawn of rare promise, the clouds gave snow. Early church-goers got wet and angry when their unaccus- toned walking to church for the earliest services resulted in splash ing about in slush and being wetted by careless motorists.
 Church Services
 Easter services yesterday found churches about the city filled with large congregations. The Resurrec- tion of Christ was the theme of most sermons delivered during the day. Special Easter musical pro- grams were offered, and churches were beautifully decorated for the festive day. :
 Over 500 persons attended the an- nual Easter Sunrise service yester- day morning at Bunker Hill park Rev. Tertius Van Dyke, of Washing ton. Conn, delivered the sermon.
 Rabbi Stephen s. Wise was the speaker at the Second Congregations al church forum last night. Easter plays were staged last night at the Bunker Hill Congregational church and the South Federated church.
 Rev. Edward M. Conway, of Wall lingford, was the speaker last night at the First Baptist church at a union service for members of the First Baptist church and First Methodist church. Services were conducted by Rev. David P. Gaines and Rev. Theodore c. Bobilin.
 In Catholic churches, sermons were based on the Resurrection. Churches were crowded at all mass es, and thousands received Holy Communion.

 Murray To Continue
 Attorney Murray will continue the reading tomorrow of the testimony given by Williamson before the grand jury, showing conflict with the testimony given by the same witness, before the trial jury. Fol- lowing Attorney Murray as cross- examiners will be Attorneys Josiah H. Peck and Frederick Waterhouse, for Daniel J. Leary; and Attorney John H. Cassidy for Carl D. Olsen.
 Mayor Hayes, Olsen and Leary were the only three defendants mentioned by Williamson in his tes- timony. It is not believed that De- fense Attorney Healey will desire to cross examine Williamson, therefore has good chance of recovering his voice before Williamson is off the stand.
 Although Williamson mentioned Hayes in his testimony neither he nor any of the witnesses to date has iden- tified the mayor as having received any "kickbacks". or being present when any conferences concerning such procedure were in progress.
 Williamson was on the stand last Tuesday and Thursday, and will un- doubtedly be excused from the stand by Wednesday or Thursday of this week.
 Mackenzie Waiting At that time the state is expected to call former Labor Commissioner Harry Mackenzie of Bethel confessed conspirator, as its witness. Macken- zie was referred to by Williamson as "man Friday to Roraback." The latter, until his suicide, was head of the Republican party.
 Williamson is on trial as a con. spirator.

COUNTY BUDGET
 SLASH LOOMING
Proposal for Court House Addition Here Meets Op-
 position Already

Members of the General Assembly from New Haven county were guests this noon at a luncheon given by County Commissioners Robert l.. Gerrish, of West Haven, and Jacob Walter of Cheshire, at New Haven for the purpose of consideration of the budget and discussion regarding the proposed addition to the county courthouse at Waterbury.
 Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney, of Wat erbury, is the Waterbury member on both the courthouse and budget committees of the house. The court house and budget reports are due from committee week from Wed- nesday. Reliable information is to the effect that the county budget will be broken down and cut be- tween $25, ,OO0 and $30,000 and the proposal to spend $150,000 for the courthouse addition already has met considerable opposition in spite of the urgings of the Waterbury Bar association, sponsor of the bill.
 Other Waterbury members besides Rep. Mahaney expected to attend the luncheon; Rep. Hugo Guasta- ferri, Senators Edward P. Egan and George T. Culhane.

Springtime trimming on Easter bonnets furnished gay color about many Waterbury household around churchtime yesterday. Sey- eral thousand Waterbury women, girls, post-debs and matrons, took 8 swirl before the mirror. Then, sadly, put aside the bright new hat.
 Impishly reflecting the whim of some malevolent weather impluse to the far north, snow descended on a winter-worn Waterbury from the hours of eight until after the time when the last of the late church. goers hesitated, wishfully waiting for the sun to triumph through.

 But later, when warm sun did its best to burn off the post winter tang, that was different!
 Thwarted in the after church pa- rade, thousands of Waterburians greeted sunny afternoon in regalia disclosing what designers can do with combinations of the primary colors.
 Whimsical pyramids of color, re- sembling the headdress of the Tibe- tan lamas but far more fanciful, came parading through the main streets of the downtown section, their owners flair-skirted, almost to the knees in some cases, as matron, miss and adoleScent seized upon the belated spring hours. of Easter to wear the apparel for which such grand plans had been made.
