CITY DEFENDANT
 IN S1O,OOO SUIT
Jury Hearing Evidence in Connection With Fall on
 Defective Walk M#

The city of Waterbury iS defend ant in a $1O,Oo0 civil action on trial before a jury in common pleas court today. The action, brought by orazio D'Addona of this city, com menced late yesterday afternoon. and is not expected to go to the fury before tomorrow.
 Basis of the plaintiffs suit is the claim that on March 16 of last year he suffered injuries in g. fall on 8 defective sidewalk on Walnut street. The accident was occasioned, 1t is charged, by the fact that 8 drop or slant of three or four inches ex- isted in the pavement, and that crack or break in the tar surface Of the walk was present. In addition, D'Addona contends that ice and snow had accumulated at the scene, rendering 1t unsafe for travel.
 As a result of the fall, the plain. tiff maintains that he suffered Q linear fracture about three inches in length of the squan1ous portion of the right templar bone, and nu- merous cuts and bruises about the head, limbs and body. Since the mishap, D'Addona allegedly has suf~ fered impaired hearing in his right ear.
 The city is accused of negligence in allowing the pavement to be in condition of disrepair, and unsafe for pedestrian use.

Thirty-seven Waterbury regis trants prepared today to leave for Hartford tomorrow morning for the first pre-induction physical exanli- nations held in this state. The local contingent will leave on the 7;55 a. m. train, with none of the fam fare that has attended departures of draftees in the past.
 The date of inductions has been set for later next month, and the group may or may not leave in It's entirety. All of the men are classi- fed as 1-A, sienifying that they have passed physical examinations conducted by local physicians, but in the past rejections have occas- sionally been made at Hartford.
 The new procedure has been adopted in order to eliminate cases where registrants left jobs and sold businesses, only to be rejected in Hartford subsequently,.
 Tomorow's group will be provided with free transportation, and meal tickets good for one days use. They will leave the Capital City, following the tests, at 3.l5 ?. m. On the in- duction day they will proceed di- rectly from Waterbury to Fort Devens, Massachusetts.

Lawrence O'Keefe, 33, of RED 1, Summit road, Cheshire, was granted n continuance to November l2, on charges of evading responsibility and operating an automobile without a license following an acc.&ent on East Main street, near Albion street Mon day evening when the car he was driving, police said, struck Mrs. Mary Sauer and her 15-year old son, George.
 Judge John L. Gaffney released the accused in $500 bonds after the accused's attorney, William Secor requested the extension in order that he might prepare his case.
 OKeefe was arrested shortly be- fore 1 o'clock yesterday at a local factory by Motor Patrolman Ray mond Grady who had conducted an investigation since o'clock in the morning with the single clue of 8 gray hat left at the scene of the accident.
 The hat was traced by Officer Grady yesterday morning to clean ing establishment. O'Keefe admitted

means that businessmen must join the Civilian Defense forces in what- ever capacity required. This means a curtailment of leisure time and of social pleasantries. It means that they must become air raid wardens and voluntary frernerl.
 Housewives must. face the facts calmly. Household lCxllries will be sacrificed, in increasing amounts, to the needs of defense production commodity prices will rise; the dan- gers from without will be felt in every American home. But the spirit of America, the urldying de- votion to freedom and liberty, must be kept alive and growing, and this must be done in the homes. And housewives too must find the time to join and cooperate with the nu- mercus voluntary civilian defense agencies, to be trained and to help prepare for any emergency.
 Country above self for working men and women must be expressed in a genuine desire to maintain in- dustrial peace, to toll and sweat and sacrifice in the war of production and for them, too, when time is available, to serve with local De- fense Councils in any one of the numerous civilian defense acttvi- ties.
 professionals teachers, law- yers, doctors, engineers all have d mart tA t1lav in defenge preuarn- tions, in speaking for and demon- strating unity, in helping to fortify the American spirit.
 Every citizen, of every walk of life, of every calling, of every race and creed must become a voluntary overtime worker in Americas ra. tional defense program.
 Country above self is the ruIe we must live by. The test of good citizenship is the ability and will ingness we show to follow that rule"

that the hat was his but could not account for how it got lost. The ac- cused stated he was in a dazed con- dition and could not remember the incidents which police were ques- tioning him.
 The l5-year old boy was reported this morning by St. Mary's hos pital as in an improved" condi- ton where he is under treatment and observation for possible frac- ture of the skull.
 Motor Patrolman Grady said when the skip driver struck the two vic- tins, he proceeded a few yards but a few moments later came back and placed his hat under the head of the youth who was lying on the ground.
 After performing this act, he drove away. Investigation for identifica- tions was made by Sergeant Jo- seph Petit, Motor Patrolmen Jo- seph Lovailo and Frank Leary and when they were about to go off the night shift, the assignment for tracing the hat was given to Off, ficer Grady.
 The swift work of the accident Investigation squad headed by Capt. William Duggan cu!minated in the arrest of the accused within a little more than 12 hours.
 Two witnesses identified the driv- CT of the car at police headquarters but they admitted that they did not obtain the registration of the car which fled from the scene.

a little exhausted. Since i seem

enough to help me TO my ROOM"
"Of course, Gilbert"
Kay realized that her brother
in-law must be very anxious 10
hear the outcome of her expedi-
ton TO the island. Until then
there had been no opportunity 10
talk TO him alone. She moved 20
the wheel-chair, but Maud, who
had reached it first, said:
"Ill take you, Gilbert. Kay's
going TO the inquest and she'll
have to change before lunch"
Before Kay could argue, she
had wheeled her husband out Of
the room.
Kay did not see them again
until lunch was served in the
patio by a flustered, wide-eyed
maid. The meal was enough Of

Its perfectly true" Gilbert's

of his wheel-chair. AT least it's

Elaine said dazedly: And she

ALICE ASSAILS THE CHILTERNS

Lumsden appeared. wearing an
unsuitably informal maroon play
suit. In the past she had eaten
meals in her own room. Now,
her sallow face flushed and de-
fiant, she conspicuously took the
seat at the head Of the table
assuming her new role as mis-
tress of the house.
Her hostile presence was ex-
asperating enough in itself. But

Kay infinitely more. Every now

Only Don and Elaine. who had

carried himself with the same

last night when she had so bit
terly attacked Elaine for her be-
trayal Of Ivor
But then all this was an inf
nitely far cry from yesterday.
Yesterday Elaine had been en-
gagged 10 marry Ivor in three
days Now in less than twenty
four hours. Ivor was dead and
Elaine was engaged 10 Don.
Kay wondered If any engage
ment in the VINEYARD family had
ever been announced so precipit-
ously' or under less suspicious
circumstances.

said suppose congratulations
are in order &C.. ="

voice from the door. "Ivor hasn't

Alice Lumsden standing, large
and starchy white, by the door.
During Elaine's story, Kay had
almost forgotten the nurse, but
now, as she saw her dark, sun
ken-eyed face alight with anita

Alice Lumsdcn v~as someone who
should definitely not have been

Ivor's cousin took a short step
forward, her gaze focusing its
malice on Elaine.

No one seemed to have the
spirit 10 speak. Alice Lumsden's
hands with their long bony fling

the stiff cotton Of her bosom.
"Ivor knew who his real friends
were and l hope l can prove
myself worthy of his trust. At
