STRIP OF LAND
 DEEDED TO CITY
Small Corner of Old St. JOseph's Cemetery to
 Round Off Street

4 small strip of land at Hamil- ton avenue and Silver street has been deeded to the city by the Ro- man Catholic Cemeteries of Water. bury, Inc, to allow for the rounding off of dangerous corner at that point The land has been given the city without cost.
 The agreement was reached after several conferences between Mayor Patrick M. Perriello and Rev. Dr Eugene P. Cryne, pastor of St Patrick's church and director of the cemetery association.
 The plot of land is at the edge of old St. Joseph cemetery. The corner at this point. which formerly was at straight right angles, is now being rounded. The sidewalk is being pushed back from its former limits and the resultant rounding will make 1t easier for motorists turning into Silver street from Hamilton avenue.
 Paving of Hamilton avenue, un- derway for several weeks, is expec- ted to be completed within the next 10 days. Sidewalks and curbing are now being laid. most of the pave- ment having been finished. except ct intersections.
 Mayor Perriello favors the r0und- tng-off of corners wherever possible, and has held several conferences with street and engineering depart ment officials in this regard.

BRIGHTER TO GO TO ENGLAND
Capt. Gainard Gets Mes sage From U. s. Lines
 Assuming" Trip

London, Nov. +(UP)-The Uni- ted States Lines, charterers of the American freighter City of Flint, messaged its master, Capt. Joseph A. Gainard, today that 1t was as- stunned he would bring his ship to Great Britain.
 The message was sent as soon as the agents for the United States Lines had received news that the City of Flint had arrived at Bergen, Norway, from Haugesund, where the Norwegian government released 1t early today and nterned its Nazi prize crew.
 Tn the lines message, it was "as- stunned" that Capt. Gainard would take his ship into the Mersey river which was its destination when 1t left New York October 3, to be taken as prize by the Nazi pocket battleship Deutschland October g and continue on to Norway, Russia and back to Norway.
 Use of the assumed" in the mes- sage was advised, 1t was disclosed. because the United States Lines left it up to Capt. Gainard to use his own judgment, in view of the possibility that the Germans might again try to intercept his ship.
 (It was reported that the City of Flint might join Swedish ships which are to go to Britain under escort by British warships)
 It was believed here that Capt Gainard might take his ship up the Mersey past Liverpool, to Manches- ter, and there unload his cargo
 The usually well-informed press association reported, however, that the City of Flint was expected to dock at Glasgow within four days.
 According to the press association news reached the Clyde area that the City of Flint was bound for a West Scotland port, and that when

BRIDE OF WEEK
 IS.FOUND SLAIN
Husband Surrenders tC Vermont Police; Murder Done in Springfield

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 4.-(UP)- Slain with @ hunting knife, the mutilated body of an attractive bride of one week was found in the bath tub of her honeymoon" apartment today after her young husband had surrendered to Vermont police.
 T killed my wife in Springfield, ? Walter Hibberd, 20, told Patrolman Angus J. MacKinnon as they met on a street at Brattleboro, Vt, 40 miles north of here, early this morn- ing.
 The officer took the youth into custody and Brattleboro authorities telephoned Springfield police head quarters.
 Detectives hurried to the Spring street address given by Hibberd and in 6 two-room, second floor apart ment, discovered the victim, the former Caroline Havey, 18, of West Springfield.
 In a kitchenette refrigerator, de- tectives found the bridal bouquet which young Mrs. Hibberd had car- ried Q week ago yesterday when the couple were married by the Rev Dr. Owen w. Flames, minister oi the Unitarian church here.
 Detectives John A. Gilmore and John Sullivan, who broke into the apartment, reported that the brides nude body was in a sitting position in the bathtub, with her head lying on the nearby washbowl.
 The bathtub was partly filled with water. The blood-stained hunting knife lay on the floor beside the tub. Detectives said the body wa horribly mutilated."
 Authorities said that after the staying, Hibberd apparently had boarded the midnight train for Mon- treal but had lost his nerve and got of at Brattleboro and ssrren- dered.

United Press Stan COrresp0ndent)
 Bergen, Norway, Nov. 4E(UP)- The cargo of the American steamer City of Flint, described by Germany as contraband, is intact and the crew of the ship is safe, Capt. Joseph l.. Gainard said today,
 Capt. Gainard talked with this correspondent aboard the City of Flint as the vessel, restored to her American crew by the Norwegian government, rode ct anchor in Ber- gen roads.
 The government had interned her German prize crew.
 Maurice P. Dunlap, American con- sul, took statements from Capt. Gainard and the members of his crew. The City of Flint was again flying the American flag and again the American colors had been painted on her sides.
 All indications were that the City of Flint could sail at any time, Capt. Gainard decides whether he wants to run the German U-boat blockade to a British port, to which his cargo Is consigned. But 1t was considered likely that the ship would stay here until Monday.
 The American consulate asked Washington for instructions and the American legation at Oslo was in communication with the Norwegian foreign office.
 The City of Flint's crew were in holiday mood. They were tired af- ter their release from control of a Nazi prize crew and from sailing the vessel all last night from Haugesund to Bergen but they laughed and joked on deck in their quarters.

INDUSTRY AIDS
 WELFARE DEPT.
Cooperate to Remove Em- plOyables From Relief
 Rolls of City

Elaborate plans are underway tc bring about a systematic general CO., operation between the city's welfare department and the heads of loca' Industry, whereby 1t is expected, ir view of the present labor conditions much money will be saved the city
 It was learned from a very relia- ble source today that the heads of the city's largest manufacturing plants have called in their employ ment manager and explained to them that the city and their plants must work closely together in seeing to 1t that all persons, whom 1t is possible to take off the city's relief rolls are removed and given employ ment, if they are able to work.
 The cooperation between the man. ufacturing plants and the city ex- tends to the point of perfecting the present system of checking up on those on the relief rolls and those that are given employment in the factories.
 The welfare department is the big question mark in the makeup of the city's budget for next year. The fi- nance board has not definitely reached 1t yet, insofar as taking ac- ton is concerned but there has been much discussion on 1t and 1t is these discussions which brought about the decision to work out a much more perfect system of cooperation and checking up than that now in vogue.
 The finance commissioners will perhaps get down to actual action on the welfare department figures next week or the week following and by that time @ special committee consisting of several large manufac- turers will have suggestions ready and be able to tell what they will be able to do to relieve the relief rolls.
 The help of the manufacturing plants Is absolutely essential if there is to be any appreciable reduction in the tax rate, 1t was pointed out today by members of the finance board.

Socialist Party Drive Feature Of Campaign
Election Here Nears Climax as Last Week Ap- proaches-New Democratic Alignment
 Works Smoothly

The city election campaign will go into Its final stages next week, with three contending parties bat ting to gain votes for their capdi- dates. Of principal interest as the campaign moves toward a climax is the aggressive drive of the Socialist party, which already is claiming that 1t will run ahead of the Re- publicans on election day.
 A Democratic organization which has settled Its internal differences Is going ahead smoothly under the guidance of the new town chair man, Joseph P. Mulville. Increased dissatisfaction with the Republican ticket and leadership Is being heard, and the G. O. P. organization is re- ported having hard time raising campaign funds. Failure of the Re- publicans to win this years election will lead to vociferous demands for the removal of J. Warren Upson as town chairman and an end to the domination of the party by William J. Pape.
 Radio speeches, rallies, neighbor- hood and district meetings will mark the political calendar next week. Leading candidates on the three tickets will be heard.
 Intensive organization work on behalf of the Democratic ticket is being done. Election days plans are being worked out in much greater detail than in the past, and the
