TUCKEY HELD IN COURT CONTEMPT
Gets To-Day Jail Sentence By Judge Caine After
 Reprimands

Naugatuck, Nov. l7 Richard Tuckey, Jr., of Orchard street, well known former Naugatuck high and professional football star, was thrown for To-day loss in -bor- ough court Saturday when Judge Martin L. Caine found him guilty of contempt of court and sentenced him to 10 days in New Haven county jail.
 Judge Caine, in blistering tones, told Tuckey that there had been g halo" over Tuckey too long. Pros. Atty. Thomas Neary said Tuckey has the idea he can Float through life kidding someone all the time. It is nearly time for some of those dreams to be ended" he asserted.
 It was brought out that since August g, le4l, when Tuckey was ordered to pay $25 weekly for the support of three children and his wife, he has only paid $T2. He as- serted that he had not been work ing since, explaining he had sus- tained an injury when he was prac- ticing with the Long Island In- dians, Q pro team. When asked by Atty. Neary If he had not re- ceived compensation for the injury, Tuckey asserted he owed the mana. ger $i75 and because the n1anageA did not say anything about the debt, he indicated 1t was possible that the debt had been wiped of in com- sideration for the injury. He said he was employed on a game-to. game basis, not a seasonal contract, and had not played for several weeks. He indicated he hoped to play next Thursday. It appears now that he will be in jail at that time.
 He tried to get work at the Sec. will plant and was refused because of priorities causing no need sor employees, he said. He had arranged to get a position in the Naugatuck Chemical company the latter part of this month or the first of next month, it was said.
 Tuckey'S testimony Jon the com- pensation was somewhat contra dictory, he first intmating the squaring of his debt might have been compensation and later im- plying that the team did not pay compensation to players hired on game-to-game basis.
 Judge Caine had previously order ed Tuckey to have the money de- ducted from his pay by the mana ger and sent to the local probation of1cer. Tuckey said he had spoken with the manager on. this but ad. mitted the manager had not seat any payments to the probation fof- ficer. Judge Caine told Tuckey he had been hanging around" since Sept. 10 and renlined he was obli- gated to pay for the support of his children.
 Other Cases
 Nolles were entered in the cases of two youths charged with tamper- ing with. 8 motor vehicle. They were Samuel Carnaron, l8, of 96 High street and Anthony Gabriel, IS, of 87 High street.

Carnaroli said he was interested inb liying the car. The judge told the youths the cases would be nolled if they got out of the courtroom immediately. which they did. It was not disclosed to whom the car belonged.

 Well make anything we can make and Q lot of things we'd have to learn to make" says Reese Mills, of the Westinghouse merchandising division, echolne the sentiments of every priority pinched business man in the na- ton. Westinghouse is getting a break the average industrialist Isn't however. Some 100 work CTS will be employed to fill a $3,- 100000 birocular order as soon as tools are installed.

On the one hand, they're at back-loggerheads with priorities for their consumer goods products and can't fill their orders.
 On the other hand, their kind of production runs long on man power in proportion to heavy equipment, so they have few hy- draulio presses and similar super essentials ot the manufacture of such stuff as all army ordnance mans dreams are made on.
