TORRINCTON MAN
 SEEKING $5O,OOO
Spine Injuries in Motor- cycle Crash Basis of
 Winsted Civil Action

Winsted, April 5 --- One of the largest lawsuits to be started in Litchfield County Superior Court in several months is that of Caesar Benedetti of Torrington, who seeks to recover damages of $50,000 from Clark W. Pratt, also of Torrington, for a spine injury suffered on Oc- tober 1, 1940. Benedetti states in his complaint that on October 4 he was operating Q motorcycle on Torring- ford avenue in the town of Torring- ton, g short distance behind and a little to the left of an automobile owned and operated by Pratt. He claims that Pratt, without warning or signal of any kind drove his car abruptly to the left into the path of the motorcycle, and that he pulled slightly to the left to avoid running ino the defendants car.
 He alleges that both vehicles then continued on the left of the high way until Pratt again veered sharp- ly to the left and into the driveway of his home on Torringford avenue without any warning to the plain tiff. As Q result of this act the mo- torcycle ran into the left side of the Pratt car and threw Benedetti to the ground. Benedetti suffered e severe compression fracture of the lower back, and this spinal injury has brought about complete fiac- cid paralysis. He was confined to Q hospital for three months, and will be confined to bed for an indefin- ite period.
 The action is returnable to the April term of the court.

BY THE OUT EASTER

You have probably asked your- self of late,
 "What has become of Patrolman Henry Hayes?
 And you were perfectly right in so asking.
 We'll tell you where Henry is and has been during most of the winter, at St. Mary's hospital, undergoing treatment for ser- ious ailment.
 Poor, Henry; just like you, we often think of him, and wish he were back in the good health we used to see him enjoy in the pa- trolling of his beat or post of duty.
 Henry Hayes comes from old Burnt Hill, where many of the old time Irish people settled years ago, and brought up good families. No better lot of boys have we ever met; we know Henry and Walter probably & little better than some of the others. To us these two men, both policemen, are an asset and credit to the district of their first residence in the city.
 Henry Hayes has been a police- man for a number of years; Wal ter not so many. But the two have lived up to and followed the regu- lations Of the Department to their own satisfaction and to each one of their superiors. For many years

DISCARDED MATCH
 BLAMED FOR FIRE
Minor Damage Results From West Main Apart.
 nlent Cellar Blaze

A discarded match or cigaret was blamed for a fire in the cellar of an apartment building at 466 West Main street early last night, answer cd by six companies.
 The lire originated in the rear of the cellar used for storage by the First National Inc. Bremen were able to confine 1t to a small section of the cellar and floor of e vacant store on the street floor.
 Lieut.. Eugene Legge of the fire marshal's staff, said someone threw @ cigaret or match while in the eel lar. Maurice Kennedy, an occupant of the upper floor, noticed the smoke rolling from the cellar. He called two small boys who ran to Box 723 at Crane and West Main streets where Patrolman Dennis Lynch rang the alarm. Bremen were under the supervi- sion of Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh and Capt. Joseph J. Kelley, acting deputy chief.
 Damage was limited to one part of the cellar and the floor of the store.

 CHANGE IN LAW
Drafted Special Act for Dental Commission in
 1927; Angle

Attorney Richardson Bronson of this city yesterday urged the State Supreme Court of Errors at Hart- ford to rule unconstitutional e law which he himself had drafted 14 years ago.
 The lawyer appeared for Dr. Joseph E. Reardon, of New Haven and Waterbury, whose license had been suspended by the State Dental Commission for alleged iinprofes- sional conduct. He asked that the dentist be given stay of execution of the suspension pending review of the case in superior court or an appeal to the supreme court.
 The section of the Dental Act which fails to make provision for a stay of execution is in violation of the constitution, MT. Bronson argued.
 "There is an unusual and amusing angle in this," MT. Bronson told the court, because I drafted that act for the Dental Commission inysek in 1927 as their counsel"

 ON CARS SO FAR
Headlights Primary Cause; 5,52O Approvals Grant.
 ed; Lane Closes July 3l

Clarence F. Roberts, supervisor at the motor vehicle state inspection lane on Thomaston avenue, said B. 520 automobiles were approved ii the first 1941 inspection period ana l,3l6 have been rejected. A primar cause of rejections, MT. Roberts said is headlights, which was also the principal reason for many rejec- tions the last inspection period.
 He explained the inspection lane had 122 working days in the present period, adding that with 36,000 cars in this area, the average number of cars will have to be 300 daily. Tho inspection lane closes July 3l and the crew can easily put through 600 cars daily. At the present time. owners taking cars to the lane will avoid waiting in long line for their turn.
 The main causes for rejections are: brakes, 467: lights, 593; steer- ing 85; and miscellaneous 686; total 1881. The difference between this total and other amounts given for rejections is that some automobiles were turned down for more than one cause. MT. Roberts said.

And The Name Is Hayes! Patrolmen Henry and Walter Hayes We'll Known Brother Team in Police Department
 Sergeant John Hayes Widely Known
 Out Easter Sends Condolences to Sick Men.

Henry was active in the affairs of the police aid association and gave his time and service to this great cause of police relief. He engineered legislation for the bet terment of the widows and or- phans, and outlined situations and conditions that confronted the police in their every day of routine patrol.
 We know Henry Hayes adapt ability to matters of this sort. He has a keen mind, and an in- sight into problems of a police nature that stand out in his favor.
 We are anxious for Henry's re- turn to good health; he deserves 1t, for the good he has been to those dear to him, and his fellow men of the department.
 And while we are on the subject of the police, let us remind you that another Hayes Is also in the same hospital, Sergeant John Hayes once of Old Out East. Like the others of the same name, John has always been an outstanding policeman. His boyhood days were spent out here, where we all knew and thought highly Of him. We have felt this same way about him for all of the years we have known him, John Hayes never said i'll of any one; he couldn't because he has always lived with a friend- Illness toward all.
 These injured and sick police- men!
 We have a most kindly feeling for the members of Waterbury's police department. They are Q great lot of men, good family men, good living men, and therefore good citizens.
 The winters have been hard in some of them: the clements have been such that some of them were taken down with sickness. This Is bound to happen among the police and flremen of the city. Their work Is such that they either nre injured, or stricken with colds which now and then develop into serious illness.
 But that's the life of the Fire man and the Policeman. Say what you want, though, If you examine the roster Of each department, you'll be convinced that our Fire men and policemen as Q body of city employe, perform their duties well, take chances when chances have to be taken, and with little consideration of what might hap- pen to them in the endeavor.
 We salute the Bremen ane police of Waterbury, and wish the best for each and every one of them.

 "safe" belligerent ports.
 Consideration of opening the Red Sea to American ships followed Q sharp rejection of German and Ital- ian protests against Axis ship seizures and MT. Roosevelt's revela- ton of Q plan to build PIP merchant ships for Britain and her allies by early 1922.
 Importance Stressed
 The importance of all matters re- lating to shipping was stressed by Sir Arthur Slater, newly arrived chief of the British shipping mis- sion, in a press conference last night. He said 1t would be difficult for Britain to move all war mater ials this country will supply with her present tonnage. More ships will be needed to win the war, he said, because "the battle of the Att lantic is now fully engaged"
 With some inconvenience, he added, she could carry through this year, on present tonnage without ini- pairing her war effort. American shipping aid-of whatever type may be devised-would be infinitely more preferable, he declared.
 Diplomatic friction between the Axis and the United States grew more intense with the rejection of the ship-seizure protest. which was coupled with a rebuke to Germany and Italy for abusing American hos pitality by sabotage of the vessels during their stay in U. s. ports.
 The state department sent a pro- test to the German foreign office against the arrest of Stewart Her. man, an employe of the embassy at Berlin. The protest was based on failure of Berlin authorities to fol- low customary diplomatic procedure by giving prior notification and ex- plantation in cases involving embassy staff members.
