DR. |. 0. BENHAM
 ENTERTAINS CLUB
ImpersOnates GuartameIa Chief and Attends Meet-
 ing With 'PinOcchiO'

Chief Quiche, of Guatamela, and his donkey, "Pinocchio," entertained an audience Of l90 Waterbury and Naugatuck Rotarians and their wives yesterday at the weekly lun- cheor meeting at the Elton. The chief and his "steed" circled the hall twice before the paint began to run on the chiefs face revealing none other than Dr. Leroy o. Benham, a member of the local unit.
 This was cause for laughter.
 The assembled Rotarians also ex- pected the paint to run off Pinoc- chic, and the gentle animal to as- sume his true shape as a Rotarian, but the donkey fooled them, re- maining a donkey,
 Following the burlesque, colored movies of Guatamela were shown.

 On August %, 1899, Joseph T.. Phelan, Q local policeman, was op- erating a car owned by Mrs. Grif- fin on the Southington- -Meriden Road, when two horses, owned by the defendant, and running at large on the highway, crashed headon with the 1929 Dodge sedan MT.

 Judge McDonough stated that from testimony 1t was evident that Mrs. Griffins car was proceeding on it's own side of the road and cer- tainly the driver could not be ex- pected to anticipate that two un- usually big farm horses would loom up out of the night and gallop to- ward the car and directly at him Judge McDonough ruled that Officer Phelan was In exercise of due care and contributory negligence cannot be charged against him.

 Judge McDonough also ruled that fair inference is that thieves lowered the bar on the coral where the defendant kept his two horses and that the animals escaped unknown 10 their owner who had been prev iously bothered by chicken thieves time and time again.

Yesterday, Adolf Hitler's inva-
sion was ii days anead of -ex-
Kaiser Wilhelm'S armies of World
War l. Nazl forces reached Ma
muir in five days, while In 1914,
when the Kaiser sent his armies
on their March to Paris, it took
the Germans 16 days to reach Ma
muir, which they entered the
same day Brussels fell.
German sources assert that
the NaziS are not only faster
than the Kaiser'S forces but that
they have fought Allied air re-
sistance into futility. During the
first five days of battle, Ger
many claims to have destroyed
l,200 enemy planes and to have
lost only about one-sixth that
number itself.
Military experts believe that
the big battle being fought in
the Sedan area along a 150-mile
front is probably the greatest
mechanical encounter recorded
in history. Between 1,500 to g.
900 tanks are said to be in action
in that area. This is four times
as many used in World War ].
An idea Of the size of the Nazi
force fighting in this sector may
be had from reports emanating
from that front, One mechanic
ed division was composed of 425
to ATS tanks, 5000 vehicles and
1000 men. Hitler sent two of
these divisions into the Sedan,
French reports say. The di-
visions sole purpose is to support
larger group of infantry.
