shape as he finished the 20th of
his "a laps. But as he passed the

was tying up badly.
McCluskey struggled on. gamely
in quest OF his oath national cham

when Paul Pilgrim, New York A. c.
athletic director, finally pulled him
off the track. He collapsed and
had to be carried TO the center of
the field. where he finally recovered
sufficiently to be taken to a hospital.

career, the sturdy German right
handler beat Boston, 81, on nine
hits.
Zuber. a 26-year- old obtained
from Cleveland IN April for the
$500 waiver price, established
something of a personal record. Il
marked the first time since ne re-
ported to the Indians in 1886

major league engagement.
Idle for more than three weeks,
Zuber returned TO work only be-

SIX CONCRESSMEN
 DIVIDED ON TIME
T hre e Favor Indefinite Service Period For
 Military
Special to The Democrat)

Washington, D. C., Aug. 12.-Con- necticut's delegation of six House members was evenly split on the question of extending the service of selectees as legislation to that end moved toward a vote in the lower chamber today. Favoring the ex- tension are Congressmen J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury, Herman P. Kopplemann of Hartford and Will liam J. Fitzgerald of Norwich, while opposing it are Congressmen Leroy Downs of Norwalk, Lucien Maciora of New Britain and James Shanley of New Haven. All are Democrats.
 Congressman Smith, as rank ing member of the military affairs committee, is favoring an unlimited extension of the training period, as recommended by the War Depart ment. However, administration saw little hope of getting anything be- yond the 18-month extension ap- proved by the Senate and House approval of that was by no means certain.
 Congressman Kopplemann also favors the indefinite extension, while Congressman Fitzgerald Is supporting the 18-month extension
 Administration pressure was re- ported being used in an effort to change the views of the three Con- stitution state representatives who are against the extension plan, but there was no indication that any one of the trio would alter his stand.

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 11.- The time has come for the sound of millions of s11eezes in Connecti- cut, it was reported today by The Connecticut State Medical Society, with the blooming of ragweed in every waste lot, hedgerow and lawn
 Tt has been estimated that at least one per cent of the popula- tion in this area suffers from some form of pollen allergy," spokes- man of the society said, "that is, hay fever"
 Hope of eradication of ragweed, to ease the unhappiness of hum dreds who must carry extra hand kerchiefs in August and Septem- Der, is slight. IL grows readily in isolated areas and remote pas lures.
 A victim of the malady may ob- tain relief in his immediate neighborhood if all the ragweed is destroyed near his residence. But woe unto the hay fever sufferer who StrayS out of his back yard" the society warns. His neighbor is sure to have the plant growing somewhere"
 The portion of the plant which causes the most trouble is a fine, fuzzy granule pollen that blows for great distances, sometimes for many miles. This makes any erad-, ication program a statewide if not a regional matter. Individual communities are helpless in the face of its widespread occurrence. The ragweed pollen clings to the blooms of other flowers. If these latter plants are brought into the home of 8 sufferer and contain ragweed pollen he will probably commence to Sneeze.
 Some measure of relief may be obtained by individuals who sub init to medical decentralization be- fore the beginning of the pollinat- ing season, which lasts from August to the first frost. Treat

Coroner Wm. Hennessy Files Opinion Today
 on Prospect Accident
Mrs Alice McCarten Fatally Injured In Crash at Inter- section - Finding Indicates Regret That Both
 Es Drivers Escape New Legislation

the intersection without stopping, compels the conclusion that the negligent act or acts of Mrs. Ter laga fall somewhat short of negli- gence of 8 gross and criminal na- ture as 8 proximate essential cause of this fatality, and that Mrs. L'Estrange's failure to look and to diminish her speed was 8 material, if not equal factor.
 Dealing with cases of this nature, in which there is negligence, but not of gross and criminal nature under the statute, has always been problem. There is now in effect a law enacted by the Legislature at its last session imposing a penalty to meet cases of this type in which there is ordinary negligence on the part of the operator or operators but which negligence does not amount to negligence of a gross na- ture. It is entitled "An Act Con- cerning Negligent Homicide By Op- orators of Motor Vehicles, and by it's terms an operator is answerable criminally for failure to meet the standards of ordinary care, the standard long familiar to triers in civil actions. The legislation fills an important need in that formerly causing 8 fatality by motor vehicle was punishable only If the cause were gross negligence or reckless disregard of the rights and safety of others, as distinguished merely fro mthe lapse from ordinary care which the new and additional statute punishes by lesser penalty. The new statute did not become eff fective, however, until July l, 1941, and as the death in the instant case occurred June 21, 1941, as result of the collision of June 15, 1941, and the law is not retroactive, these op- orators, though negligent, escape the penalty provided in such cases now and since July 1, 1941
 Deceased was removed to the Waterbury Hospital, where she was admitted at 2:3O P. M., June Is, 1941. Her condition improved some what at first but it later became worse and she died at said hospital on June q, 1941, at 700 P. M.
 find that the death of said Alice McCarten was due to pulmonary embonsm occluding both pulmonary arteries, thrombophlebitis of the left femoral vein, fracture of the left tibia, contusions of both lower legs, fracture of the left 9th, 7th and 1st ribs and the right 9th rib, confusion of the sternum, confusion of the heart. confusion of the left lung and right adrenal gland, lacera- tions of the scalp, contusions and abrasions of both hands, hemo- pleura and hemopericardium, but that said death was not due to the gross or criminal negligence of the said operators or either of them, said Sara LEstrange and said Rose Terlaga.
