Local Woman Battles For. Kin Prisoners Of War"
Congressman Smith Brings Cheer to Mrs. Sally Saffian of WoOdtic Road-Relatives Held in Widely Scattered Concentration
 Camps From Canada to
 Shanghai, China.
BY SAM DINE

D4 SEAA&A WAkNG
 In 1927 Vienna was very much like what Hollywood producers would have us believe it was, a metropolis moving to the tempo of a village in the tropics 8 city of cafes, beer gar- dens, and .somnOlent Strauss waltzes. That was the vision of 6 city that Mrs. Sally Saff1an of S7 Woodtick road carried away with her when she arrived in this country fourteen years ago.
 Nearly seven years later the great white way of Europe was convulsed by civil war, its famed buildings shattered, thousands destroyed, iln- priSoned or mutilated in 8 savage internecine struggle. After the res- toration of peace and slow process of reconstruction began. For several years the city cleared away the ruins, built new dwellings to replace the old, and patched the she'll spattered earth. Then in 1887, when order had been brought out of chaos, the city once more fell prey, only this time to the invading le- gions of the neighboring Nazi hordeS.
 Determination
 The German aggressors brought with them a culture and @ philoso- phy entirely of their own making, and clearly of undecided Aryan ex- traction. It included among its basic precepts the principles of untram- melled carnage and ruthless exter- imitation of Jews. It strangled free- dom of expression and boasted the persecution of Catholics.
 It was this world of bloodshed and terror that Mrs. Saf1lan escaped when she came to America in. 1927. But even in the security of this country the utter barbarian of the new regime has been brought home to her by the treatment her nearest of kin have been subjected to.
 Seven of her brothers, sisters and their children are in Shanghai, China, where they fled at the time of the Nazi occupation. A brother is in an Italian concen-

 Griffin was arraigned in Water bury municipal court about one month ago, and bound over to the higher tribunal under bonds of $l,- 900. Earlier a finding by Coroner William B.

 states attorney and counsel for the accused confer as to 0 date for aia- other hearing, and tentatively pro- posed that 1t be held some time next week.
 Circumstances of Case
 After Griffin had pleaded nolo contendere, Fitzgerald proceeded to relate the circumstances of the ac- cident. He said that "indisputably that area was not well lighted, and that at the time of the fatality, the city had ordered better light ing equipment which had not yet been supplied.
 He then pointed out on a street. map which had been set up at tie rear of the court-room, the direc- ton in which Griffin was travel ing prior to the accident. 'Consid- erable question exists in the evi- evidence" he said, "as to whether there were one or two lines of traf- fic proceeding easterly at the time. "
 He designated the position of the deceased officer with an indicator, and indicated in which direction the traffic, consisting chiefly of vehicles returning from fireworks display at the municipal stadium, had been moving.
 Evidence of Police Officer
 Evidence of a police officer who had witnessed the occurrence from squad car on West Main street, he said, established that Griffin had been travelling at a speed of 30 miles per hour. The driver of car that the accused had passed just previous to striking Palmatier has stated that he calculated the speed to have been in the vicinity of 35 miles per hour, Fitzgerald. said.
 Questioned by Judge Cornell as to the distance from the traffic of- ficer Griffin had been when he ate tempted to pass the other vehicle, the states attorney declared that he believed 1t to have been approx imatly from 10 to l5 feet. The accused proceeded for a distance of about 200 feet after hitting Palma tier. 1t was stated. and was halted by the cries or some persons at Sne scene.
 Attorney M0nagan Speaks
 Attorney Monagan pointed out that he had heard from various sources that the pavement was dark. and that the area was badly under lighted. He remarked that the city had installed three new lights within the approximate area recent ly. and that prior to the July 20tll mishap, there had been other fAtall- ties at the same point.

N0 DATE CHOSEN FOR PRIMARIES
Republican Party Leaders Obtaining Expressions of
 Sentiment on Candidates

No date has yet been selected for the meeting of the Republican town committee which will decide when the party's primary will be held, Town Chairman Vernon l.. Hall said today. The meeting was originally to be held last week but was post poned, the chairman said, because many members were unable to be present.
 Despite lack of enthusiasm on the part of the leaders, strong senti- ment has developed in the rank and file for ex-Mayor Patrick M. PeTriello as the candidate and there is now a good chance that he will be'offered the nomination. The sit- uation is complicated by the insist ence of anti-organizationites that Registrar of Voters Albert O. Taller be, dropped from the slate and re- placed by Harold K. Hadley. The insurgents say they will enter a primary fight against MT. Taller no matter who gets the mayoralty nomination.
 Commissioner John J. Kearney of the board of education, who has been sounded out as a potential candidate by the leaders, has yet made no statement of his stand. It is believed that he is unwilling to run this year, largely because he holds an important post at the E. J. Manville Machine Co.,, which is now engaged in defense produc- ton.
 As was the case two years ago, the primary may be called on very short notice, giving organization opponents little time to prepare. Tn 1889, the organization defeated MT, Perriello in a primary contest, and later named Charles c. Foster, then Mir. Portfolios secretary, as It's can- didate.
