 Really So Serious

 Washington, August 29. (UP) Chairman Francis T. Maloney, Democrat, Connec- ticut, of the Senate Commit tee Investigating the east coast gasoline shortage, said today that supplies of indus trial fuel for defense plants may be jeopardized if Latin American countries are per- nitted to get petroleum on the same basis as Eastern Seaboard states.
 During the committees second hearing on the east coast situation, Malcney questioned Chairman Em- ory s. Land of the Maritime Com nisiOon on statements. taht Latin American countries are being al- lowed the same amount of oil as is delivered to the east coast. This as- serti0n was made yesterday by Ralph K. Davies, acting defense oil eoor- dinator.
 q do not think the gasoline short- age Is so serious, ]" Maloney said. "es- pecially after hearing MT. Davies yesterday. But I do think the So-i called bunker oil situation Is tKe- mendously serious.
 ''If the plants which operate on bunker oil are not guaranteed they will get as much as they need. then we are destroying the purpose of the lease-lend act and the policies of the defense program"

Some Strange Voice
 !Heckles Maxi Radio

London, Aug. 29 -(UP)- That strange voice is heckling the German news brOadcasters again.
 When the German radio an- nouncer finished reporting on German successes in Russia last night the voice rudely in- terrupted: "And what about our own Iosses?"
 When the announcer said German planes had bombed numerous British airdrOEnes on wednesday night, the yoice ex- claimed: "Says you" The announcer began: "The supreme command announces and the EOic& saisl Bbels the liar annezinees
 For 15 minutes, 0n tze regtn- lar German news broadcast wave length and despite ef- forts to 'sjaImn it, the voice continued its harangue, saying, Hitler Is guilty! Hitler is war; we fight for peace"
 The voice presumably is be- ing broadcast by 2 Russian sta- tion using the German wave length.

HONOR PLEASES
 POLISH PASTOR
Rev. JOhnu Balasa Sub- Deacon at Paderewski's
 Funeral Mass in N. Y.

Nine hundred priests from prac- tically every section of the country attended the funeral Mass of Ignace Jan Paderewski at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City, Thursday morning. Among the officiating clergyman was Rev. John M. Balasa, pastor of St. Stanislaus KoStka church on East Farm street, who served as sub-deacon.
 Father Balasa was more than pleased with being honored in the selections mad his selection came as a great surprise. He told the Demo- crat it made him happier than a be- quest of million dollars would, summing it up as a heaven-sent gift.
 The local pastor has always cher isl1ed admiration for PaderewsH whom he claims was the greatest man Poland ever had. He has preached him as model every chance he had and rated him the supreme leader of the Poles here and abroad.
 Some time ago the famous musi- clan offered a concert at Bushnell Memorial Hall, Hartford, and Father Balasa greeted him on behalf of the Polish people of the state.
 Paderewski's funeral Mass lasted an hour and half with the euol- ogy being given by Archbishop Francis J. Spellnlan of New York who asserted that the musician would plead, God in heaven for Poland's freedom, just as he had done before the world during his life.
 Archbishop Spellman quoted Pad erewski's last words. Poland will rise again." That was Paderewski's prayer. That was Paderewski's hope; that was Paderewski's life. Poland has risen again; Poland arises wherever a son or daughter of Poland lives and cheriSfles in his or her heart all the greatness of that race"

 During the course of the various sessions held in Waterbury the only encouraging development was the announcement that the American Brass Company would make any concession eventually adopted retro active to May l8th. It was quickly noticed, however, that following Thursdays decision to submit a pro posal to the union membership the retroactive date was amended to May 1lth.
 It Is estimated that an S-cent hourly increase for over OOOO work CTS will boost the company,s payroll to more than a million dollars ar1- nually.
 NO definite statement has yet been made on the report that the union has agreed in entering on new contract not to petition for another raise before March 17. 1942.
 By Monday 1t is expected that the CTo leaders here will issue . state ment outlining the proposal, giving more details as to the counter of- fer of the company and whatever concessions the union has made since its original flat demand of a Decent raise.
 Whatever action is taken here Tuesday it Is expected to have a bearing on pending negotiations af- fecting workers in the Scovill Man. ufacturing Company, the Chase Companies, the Waterbury Clock Company, A. H. Wells Company and a number of other brass industries in the Naugatuck Valley.

An ai1icable adjustment of the wage dispute which has occupied the attention Of some 10000 employees of the American Brass Conpany's plants in Waterbury, Torrington and Ansonia, for several weeks past is expected to become c reality by 2 vote of the members of the Brass workers Union in special meetings next Tuesday.
 The deadlock in the conference between officials of the company and union leaders was broken in Wash- ington Thursday afternoon when 1t was agreed to submit to the unions membership a recommendation from pr. John R. Steellna1, federal con- ciliator. No official explanation ac- cornpanied the announcement, but it is generally understood here that the union will be called upon to vote acceptance or rejection of 9 compromise offer an Scent hourly increase retroactive to May 11th.
 The Brass Workers have been de- nnanding IO.cent raise. The con1- pAny offered 6-cents. Both sides re- fused to concede anything in the long conferences held at The Elton in the presence of representatives of the state and federal department of labor, the state and federal boards of mediation. The controversy was finally carried to Washington. Both sides presented evidence before the concIliation board. The hearing ad- journed Thursday following the brief, but official uncement that Dr. Steelman had submitted a pro- posal to which officials and union representatives at the hearing were agreeable. The matter now comes back to Waterbury for decision.
 If the vote taken here Tuesday is unfavorahle the dispute will be placed in the hands of the federal board of mediation for final decision. The unoiil has already taken a strike

 Suit Against Leary
Civil Actions Involving Over $4OO,0OO Instituted;
 Insurance Companies Named Co-Defendants

mounting ramifications of the Leary case, was the refusal of States Atty. Hugh M. Alcom, Thursday, to say whether he would reconvene the Waterbury extra. ordinary grand jury to determine whether collision had existed in Leary's escape. RumorS were cur- rent at one time that friends of the missing controller had assist ed him in making good his disap- pearance at the time the decision upholding 8 conviction and sem tence to from 10 to IS years in states prison, was handed down by the State Supreme court.
 Indicative of the skepticism of the states attorney, prosecutor in the conspiracy trial, was re- mark, T don't know where such stories originated"
 The search for Leary has ex- tended over practically the face of the North American continent, with nothing more substantial ,ln- earthed than rumors and conjec- tJIre.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-05

Bringing to a grand total of more than $1,00OO00 the amount of damages sought from Daniel J. Leary, are civil actions of more than $4oo,00o brought against the missing former city controller, and his wife, Mrs. Sadie Leary, Thurs day in U. s. district court.
 Basis for the suit is the conten- ton of the federal government, plaintiff in the action, that income tax payments for the years 1883, 1884 and 1885 are in arrears, and that interest has accrued upon the principle sum due.
 Go defendants named in the complaint are the Sun Life Insur- ance O., Travellers Insurance Co.,, Aetna Life Insurance Co.,, and the John Hancock Mutual Life Insur- ance Go. Some of the policies, it is thought, name Mrs. Leary as beneficiary, and were issued to Leary at various times over per- iod of years.
 Another development in the
