NEW REASON WHY
 NERO FIDDLED
Not Happy Because Rome Burned, But Because
 Sums Were Destroyed

Boston, Nov. 25.-UP)-The real reason why Nero fiddle while Rome burned was to express his happiness over his role as sponsor of the worlds first slum- clearance project, according to John Ihlder, executive of the alley dwelling authority of Washington.
 History has been unfair to the Roman emperor, he told the MasSa- chusetts conference of social work.
 Nero provided a well-provisioned tent city outside the walls of the city for the exicted residents be- fore he burned down the slums of Rome" Ihlder said. Then follow ing plans already prepared by his architects, he rebuilt the city.
 Nero didn't fiddle because he en- joyed the distress of the people, but because he was happy over a good job well done"

Driver Appeals From
 Conviction, $25 Fine
Arrested on Reckless Driving Charge Following
 Double Collision; Blinded By Headlights Claimed

Dennis Drlseoll, 8, of Hunger ford avenue, Oakville, was found guilty of reckless driving and fined 925 and costs In municipal court today by Judge John L. daffnty, The accused, through his lawyer, took an appeal to common pleas court and bonds of $76 were fixed.
 Driseoll was arrested on Nov. 10 shortly before 0 o'clock when the gar he was driving was involved n an accident with two other vehicles near the Municipal Stadium.
 Sergt. Joseph Petit and Motor Patrolman Thomas Bedding who investigated the crash, said that Driscoll who was going toward Oak vile on WGtertown avenue struck two cars travelling in Q Southerly direction. The first car which Drls' coils vehicle hit, Sergt, Petit said, was driven by Joseph Maisto, and another car following MaiStos, dr!y- en by Albert Waisausky of Hunseg- ford avenue, was also struck after the Drlscoll machine bounced UH MaiSto's machine.
 Mrs. Maisto who was riding in the car With her husband, and DrLs- coll were taken to the hospital Tor treatment,
 Driscoll said he had finished his work at the Diamond Ginger Ale and was headed IEme when Mais- tos headlights b..aaed hin. As re. suit, he lost control Of his car and crashed into Maisto, then continued on and hit Waisausky'S machine.
 Attorney John F. robin, defense counsel, argued that no testimony was given in court which would contradict h.s clients assertion that the glare of the lights blinded him.
