POLICE SEEKING
 NIGHT PROWLER
Girl Awakens to Discover Intruder in Her Room;
 Fights Off Attack

Police are working on partial description furnished by a 22-year- old East Main street girl who fought off an attempted attack in a bedroom of her home early Sum day morning.
 Police reported the girl told them she awoke about 3:l5 a. m. to find man standing near her bed. She said before she was able to utter cry for assistance, the intruder grasped her wrists and gagged her with two handkerchiefs.
 The girl related that struggle ensued and she was able to loosen the gag and shout to her brother who was asleep in the next room. The assailant escaped through an open rear window and down fire escape.
 The girl was taken to St. Mary; hospital after her unnerving eX- perience and was treated for a lacerated lip and mouth. She was then discharged.
 A search of the immediate neigh borhood by the police, Lieut.. John Calvin reported, failed to reveal any traces of the prowler but po- lice are continuing their search with the meager clue provided by the girl.

AXIS RAIDS NEAR
 PANAMA CANAL
Believed to Be Heavily Armed Merchantsman
 From Germany or Italy

Panama City, Sept. I6-(UP)- Reliable sources said today that ma rine and shipping authorities have known for some time that an Axis raidep, believed to be & heavily armed merchantman, has been oper- ating in the Pacific Ocean off the Panama Canal.
 The raider was believed to be operating in sea lanes leading from the canal and to the west coast oi the United States and to Australia New Zealand and the Netherlands East Indies. Several British affd Dutch ships known to have sailed from New Zealand and Dutch East Indies. Several British and Dutch ships known to have sailed from New Zealand and Dutch East Indies ports are considerably overdue here
 CThe Netherlands announced last week that the 7,322-ton Dutch freighter Kota Nopa1 was believed to have been sunk off the Gala. pagos Islands en route to the United States, presumably by way of the Canai.)
 Ships arriving two weeks ago re- ported hearing faint radio signals from other vessels, saying they were being attacked by raider. Because no survivors have been picked up in life boats, 1t was believed the raider may be holding them hostages, as was done by German surface rald- ers in this and the World War.

Liquor Dealers
 to toOpposeNew Ordinance

Restaurant owners will appear before an aldermanic committee at the City Hall tonight at 7:3O o oppose adoption of 2, proposed new ordinance limiting the number of liquor outlets. TOnight's will be the second hearing on the Ordi- nance, a re-hearing having been ordered by the board two weeks ago.
 Package store owners are ex- pected to renew the arguments they made for adoption of the Or- dinance at the original hearing, held in August.
 In his successful plea for an- other hearing, Harmon A. Genlot executive secretary of the COnnec- ticut Restaurant and Liquor Deal- CTS Board of Trade, claimed that heavy investments made by res- taurant owners would be je0par- diZed by the ordinance. If leases could not be renewed or if rents were doubled or trebled, he said, the permittee would find 1t diffl- cult, or perhaps impossible, under the ordinance, to find new loca- tiOnS.
 The ordinance would prohibit opening of 8 new outlet within a specified distance of another out let.
