STOLEN CAR is
/ FOUND in LAKE
No Trace Of Bodies in
Water-Hard Task to
Pull Car Out

a stolen car was found submerged
in Bellevue lake today, but police,
after rowing around the pond, were
unable to find body. The car,
owned by Joseph Bocchichio, Of IS
Wall street, was stolen from Jeffer-
son street last night.
The top barely showing above the
surface, the automobile, a new
model, was discovered in the lake
by an unidentified man who was
walking to work early this morning.
He called police.
Capt. william Duggan, Motor Pa
trolmen Raymond Grady and Harry
Martin went to the scene and
showed off in rowboat. Without
resorting to graphing irons, the
policemen rowed around, but were
unable to discover q body at the bot
tom of the fairly transparent lake.
Captain Duggan said the automo-
bile landed In the pond in an up
right position and was either pushed
or driven into the water. All doors
were closed, but the windows of
the car were partly open. Tire
marks were found which showed
how the car veered sharply from
the roadway and apparently leaped
a wall before plunging into the
water. The machine was not dam
aged extensively.
While police rowed about, men
from the st. Louis garage went to
work extricating, the car, a task
which required four hours to COM
plete.
Captain Duggan said the question
is whether the car was pushed OF
driven into the lake. No one has
been reported missing.

State WPA Expands
Health Service Plan
Presidential Approval Given Project Calling for Ex-
penditme of $l4O,I73-l75 to Obtain Work

Service division of the Connecticut
WPA, the new project will make pos
sible the assignment of as many as
IT'S to this work.
Although there are not now any
professional workers available from
relief rolls, assistance in the health
field can be provided through the
assignment of clerks and other non
professional workers, such as laun-
dry and kitchen help and ward as
sistants in hospitals and aides in
clinics and schools.
Such assistance will relieve pro-
fessional staffs from detail work SO
that regularly employed nurses and
doctors can give more of their time
to their patients.
Sponsored by the state department
of health, the new project does not
supplant or replace any of the nor
NAL functions of health organiza-
tons, but supplements them to the
end that the needy may have more
adequate medical service.
In hospitals, for instance, the diet
needs of patients can be more fully
met with additional assistance in
the kitchen. WPA workers could also
help in the laundry, in mending, in
preparing surgical dressings, ward
assistance, as orderlies and clerks,
in library work and in art, crafts
and music.
In clinics workers would be help
full as receptionists. in washing in
struments, weighing patients and
generally assisting doctors and
nurses and in follow-up work. In
school health work they could as
sist in giving audiometer and vision
tests and in other ways.
Health service projects which
have been in operation include as
sistance to Visiting Nurses Asso-
Citations in Hartford, New Britain
Manchester and New London, hos
pital work at the Hartford Munich
pal hospital, Backus hospital, Nor
wich, and Bridgeport hospital ,anc
assistance in the medical and den
tai clinics of the Hartford board o.
health.
With local sponsors, working
through the state department o.
health, having pledged $19,980 a:
their share of the cost under thu
new project, the program can bt
extended to additional communi.
ties and other health service or.
CARNATIONS.
Thus WPA's professional anc
service division will be enabled tt
make an additional contribution tx
public health in Connecticut. I
will round out work of other pro
jects which are concerned with thu
health Of needy children of pre-.
school age, undenourished schoo
children, prospective mothers anc
others.

BROOKLYN, May 81. The
Dodgers escaped from a three-game
losing streak today by beating the
Chicago Cubs 4 to 8 on Dolph Ca
mills single with the bases loaded
in the ninth.
1t was the only game weather per-
mitted in the National league and
closed the margin between Brooklyn
and the first-place Cincinnati Reds to
one game.
The Dodgers squeeze was tighter
than even the score indicated, for up
until the final frame Claude Pas

four hits and all indications pointed
to the Cubs sweeping the series.
The Cubs got to Whitlow Wyatt
for all their runs in the second and
third innings-first on a homer by

after that they kept right on hitting

In the meantime Brooklyn was
shut out on two hits in the first
five innings and APPARENTLY had fallen
short with two runs in the sixth on
John Hudson's double, Charley Gill
bert's triple and a long fly by Dixie
Walker.
But in the ninth Gilbert opened
with a single and Walker and Cookie
Lavagetto waited out passes to fill
the bases. Then Camilli broke up
the game with a sharp liner off

Brooklyn fans are booing him, was
banished in the seventh for protest

CR0V0 TO BATTLE
MAHONEY ON MAT
Whitley Specializes In Rough
ness; Was Time Black
smith On Dude Ranch

Whitley Grove, who battles young
Tom Mahoney in the supporting
bout at Legion stadium tomorrow
night, has been the target for the
ire of wrestling fans S C OF
tunes and probably holds a record
in the number and amount OF lines
paid for roughness.
Grove specializes in getting in
the hair of fans. His own hair has
about departed, being yanked out
by opponents who were getting
even for his hair-pulling escapades.
In the main bout Thursday night,
the madcap Gypsy, Chief CheWch-
XII will meet Jack Hader, another
tough guy.
Mahoney is quite popular with
Wilmington fans and it is almost
certain that the local rooters will
be against Grove.
Grove halls from Denver, Colo
RADIO. Before he took up wrestling
he was a blacksmith on a dude
ranch. One day an eastern pro-
moter, who was a guest at the
dude ranch, took a look at his
bullying biceps and splendid ply
siue and offered to train him for
the mat. Grove has figured that
most of the fans like. their Wrest-
ling rough and the rougher the
better. In support of this theory
he sometimes gets SO mean fans
gather around the ring in an ugly
mood and now and then they
give him a pummelling before he
car get to the dressing room.
Mat fans are looking forward
with relish to the coming set to
between Chief CheWchki and Jack
Hader. The bout is a natural
for scores of fans suggested the
match to DaWkins even while he
was turning it over in his mind.
Chewchki is certain to get a hec-
tic scrap from the thick-set, hard
bitten Hader. The latter got
strength in his arms and wrists
working in the wheat fields of his
native Kansas and his cobra clutch
is feared by all his adversaries.
Chief Chewchki may start in to
apply one of his illegal tricks on
Hader only to find himself writing
in the clutches of the painful cobra
hold.
Both iousts will be two out of
three falls, the Chewchki = Hader
scrap limited to an hour and a
half and the Mahoney-Grovo melee
to an hour. Doors will be opened
at Z o'clock, the early arrivals
among those fans who failed to re-
serve their tickets coping tn e
choice seats. The action will start
promptly at $3.50.
