FIRE OFFICIALS PROBING BLAZE
Lighted Match or Cigaret Blamed for Damaging
 Fire Loss Unknown

A carelessly flung cigarette or match in waste paper basket, caused the fire which destroyed the second floor of the Waterbury Bat tery O., 1036 South Main street Tuesday night and damaged with smoke and water the first floor, was reported today by Fire Marshal D. J. Lafey.
 Marshal Lahey and Lieut.. Flu gene Legge, aide to the fire marshal, investigating the source of the blaze, said that a smouldering fire which gradually worked its way from from the garage to the main plant along staircase connecting the two buildings, had obviously started from the waste absket. On inspecting the ruin, the fire marshal said, that much of the stock and equipment was destroyed.
 Martin L. Martus, president of the concern, said this morning that the loss will run in several thous- andS but as yet he had not aScer- tained the full extent.
 Firemen fought the stubborn blaze for nearly four hours before bring ing 1t under control and ten com panies of apparatus were called to the scene. A second alarm was turned in when flames threatened other tenement houses which are nearby the plant.
 The company employed about 60 persons at the plant and it may be compelled to move some of its oper- ations to branch on Mill street.

EXILED BELGIUM
 IS SEEKING GOLD
$26O, ,OOO, 900 French Gold in New York Banks; Ger
 many Is Getting It

New York, Feb. 6.-(UP)-Bel- gium's government in exile at Lon- don attempts today through a state supreme court writ to stop France from surrendering to Germany an estimated $260,000,0O0 in Belgian gold.
 The writ will be served on the Federal Reserve bank here, attach ing any Bank fo France gold held there up to the amount of $780, 100000.
 Georges Theunis, ambassador ex- traordinary of the Belgian govern ment in exile, who is on special mission to the United States, said in filing the suit that when France collapsed she shipped the Belgian gold, which she was holding for safe-keeping, to Dakar, French West Africa, over te protests of National Bank of Belgium officials who wanted it sent to England on a British cruiser, and that now France was flying the gold back to Marseille and trans-shipping it from there to German officials.
 Some Is Delivered.
 Some of the gold already has been delivered to Gen. Baron Alexander von Falkenhausen, German military commander for Belgium and North ern France, who is issuing receipts for it in the name of the Bank of Belgium, TheuniS said.
 The object of the suit, he said, was to guarantee that the Bank of France makes good with its own gold for every ounce of Belgian gold that it delivers to the Germans.
 He said the surrender of the Bell gian gold doubtless is due to con- tinued pressure upon the French authorities"
 The suit was expected to be fa- cilitated by the fact that the Unit ed States recognizes the Belgian government in exile.
 Justice Morris Elder, who issued the writ, said he believed the order was for the largest amount in the history of the supreme court of New York State.
 Not in Jurisdiction.
 Inasmuch as both the Bank of Belgium and the Bank of France technically are private institutions, although subject to close govern ment control, the action is not be- tween two governments and there fore, presumably, not within fed eral court Jurisdiction
 John Foster Dulles, of the law firm handling the suit, said one purpose of the suit was the moral effect it likely would have on the French people, strengthening their opposition to yielding to German pressure.
 The disclosure that Belgian gold was held at Dakar was seen as an- other possible motive for the un- successful attack on that port re- gently by combined British and free French forces under Gen. Charles De Gaulle.
 Theunis said that France had moved the gold from Paris to Bor- deaux when her fall became immi- nent and that the Bank of Belgium requested that it be sent across the English Channel to London.

FARM BOY OF 16
 DID TWO MURDERS
Mild Mannered Lad Guilty of First One When He
 Was Twelve

TeXarkana, Ark, Feb. 6.-(UP)- A. L. Tipton, mild-mannered, 16- year old farm boy, was charged today with his second killing. He killed a man and wounded another with a shotgun in Sotts- boro, Ala. when he was 12. He slugged John Dale Hilliard, his 15- year old schoolmate, with a pop bottle in Fouke, Ark, Tuesday night. Hillard went to friends home and died.
 Tipton. after admitting that he hit Hillard, said:
 I'm sorry. But that's bunch of tough boys out there, and you've got to stand up for yourself"
 He said Hilliard cursed him at a basketball game in the F'ouke high school gymnasium "in front of a bunch of girls. They began to call each other names, he said, and Hilliard invited him outside.
 T picked up the bottle when I saw he had club and socked him on the head" he told Sheriff w. E. Davis.
 Tipton went back to the game and Hilliard went home with Ed win Mcclure, friend, to spend the night. Mcclure said he complained of headache and took an aspirin. He heard Hilliard groaning and yesterday morning found him dead in bed.
 Paroled to Uncle
 Tipton was paroled to his uncle, Frank Eaton, after the Scottsboro killing, and Davis sent word to Eaton to bring his nephew in for questioning. Tipton calmly tod his story.
 The sheriff said he was hand some boy, well above the average in intelligence" five feet, three inches tall and dark haired.
 Richard Hui, prosecutor of the eighth Arkansas district, said in Philadelphia that he wasn't certain whether the boy would be prose- cuted as slayer or a juvenile. He was held, however, on a murder charge and will be given a prelim- mary hearing tomorrow.
 Officers said he was not tough; he just believed ill standing up for his rights.
 He killed the man in Scottsboro for attacking his father. Two men had his father down and were beat ing him. His father shouted for help, and the 12-year old boy came running with a shotgun.
 Because of his age, Alabama authorities paroled him to his uncle in Fouke.
