NSOI1tll1uCu xIO1I 1dSC 4I the end of the morning rush period, was caused by the flight of a few raiders up the Thames, apparently observing weather conditions. They turned back without bombing. But a little more than an hour after the "all clear" the air raid sirens shrieked again and anti-aircraft guns burst into heavy fire.
 This time, while Britons thought of warnings that the Germans might at any time resume blitzkrieg aerial activity as the first phase of an invasion attempt, German planes were heard over London.
 Dover Hit Steadily
 On the Dover coast German shells were crashing steadily, one at a time, from batteries on the in- vasion coast across the narrow strait.
 The German guns started firing at 9:30 last night. The shells had crashed at brief intervals until the early hours of this morning.
 There was a brief bombardment across the fog bound strait just be- fore dawn.
 Later the smelling was resumed. The shells came over at intervals which indicated that only one gun at a time might be in action.
 Seven persons had been killed and number wounded when bombs crushed honbs in a Thames estu- ary town last night in the first night raid in 10 days in the metro politan area. Fire added to the diff ficulties of rescue squads who tried to dig victims from the ruins. At least one person was killed and several were wounded by a bomb which struck the home of a physi- clan adjoining a London hospital.
 Scattered Raids
 There were scattered raids on other parts of Britain. A German plane machine gunned 8 railroad in eastern England and wounded locomotive fireman. Incendiary and explosive bombs were dropped on an eastern England town.
 HouseholderS in two London areas showed the determination with which Britons are fighting fire raids. A showed of fire bombs dropped suddenly and it was thought that a full scale fire raid was starting. As the first bombs struck, air raid wardens' whistles screeched. From doors all over the areas, men, women and children ran into the street to aid and within ten minutes every bomb had been put out.
 The German raiders came over steadily today. London had its third alarm of the day during the noon hour, only a few minutes after the second "all clear.

 Air circles understood that Will helmshaven was well hammered in last nights raids.
 It was remarked that the RAF soon had fulfilled a recent radiocast warning to German dock workers by German Grand Admiral Eric Raeder.
 "The danger of air attacks is growing" Raeder said.
 Since the start of the war Will helmShaven has been bombed 42 times by the British.
 British planes attacked Hanover, Germany, Sunday night but there after bad weather hampered their activities until last nights raid on WilhelmShaven.

 the head. Beall rolled over onto the floor.
 Descending to the cellar where Mrs Bean was discovered puttering with the furnace, John hit her once on the head. She fell to the floor without a sound.
 At this point Saitkowski evidently lost his wits. Moans from the bed- room above caused him to rush back and strike Beall second time, then repeat the operation with a stool standing nearby. He searched for the key to the car, was m- successful, and hearing the sobs of Mrs. Beall in the cellar, returned to strike her a second time. This time Mrs. Beall lay silent.
 While telling the story to state police, Saitkowski wept often. His sister, sweetheart, and her mother, listening to the story in the court room, appeared greatly affected by the story.
 Check With Witnesses
 The concluding statements check closely with information given by previous witnesses. From the Beall home Saitkowski travelled to Paw tucket, went to the home of his brother, Felix, from there to his sweetheart's house, and took her for a short ride. To all of them he said he had been paroled for good behavior.
 Saitkowski is beeing tried for first degree hammer staying of John Beall, Overseer at the Cheshire Re- formatory last October 29. In the written testimony he stsates bottle of whiskey he drank caused him to commit the crime. However. ques- tions put to him brought out that there was less than quarter of a pint of liquor in the bottle when John found 1t. and state police, un- covering the remains of the bottle discovered John had taken only small drink before the crime.

 'In Italian Somaliland in all sec- tors work is progressing on improv- ing forward roads in support of ad- vances patrols whose activities across the frontier are continuing unabated."
 Benghazi Is Next
 The next British objective, Ben- ghazi, will be attacked as soon as possible, it was believed. Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, British middle east commander in-chief, was rep resented yesterday as racing to cap- ture Benghazi before German dive bom5ers could support Italians in Libya.
 British mechanized forces moving on Benghaz were believed taking the inland road in order to avoid coastal towns British main forces en route to BenghaZi were said to be meeting some resistance ty Ital- ianS at Mekil!, southwest of erna.
 British quarters believe there will be hard fighting before Benghazi is forced into surrender.
 Already there were indications that the Italian air force again has taken to the air in attempts to bomb and machine gun British troops in an effort to stem their advance on Benghazi.
 British hurricane fighters, how ever, were battling Italian planes wherever they could be found. RAF bombers also were attacking Italian airdromeS in an effort to ground the Italian air force in the Ben- ghazi area.
 Italy Claims Victory
 Rome, Jan. 30-(UP)-A high command communique said today that Italian troops had retaken one locality on the Eritrean front, cap- turing Australian prisoners and arms, and had thrown back Brit iSh columns on three sectors of the southern Ethiopian front
 In Cyrenaica there was intense activity by artillery, patrols and airplanes, the communique said.
 The Italians captured prisoners and arms in local actions by large patrols on the Albanian front, the communique said, though bad weather hampered operations.

afternoon that the administration bills, of which there are expected to be quite few affecting the char ter, would be ready for tomorrow He said that he would be in con- ference with Mayor Vincent A. Scul- ly and Corporation Counsel J. Greg ory Lynch tonight at which time .,e final touches would be placed on all proposed bills.
 A series of bills were introduced in the Senate today by Senator Michael V. Blansield, among the more important of which was one which would have the State of Con- necticut acquire a group of paint ings of animals and birds done by Rex Brasher, well-known artist, at his studio outside of Kent back in | 1880. These paintings played an important part in the Connecticut | tercentenary celebration of 1885 and an effort was made following that occasion to have the state buy them.
 MT. Brasher made 1t possible for this to be done, but when the state failed to buy them after a certain period had elapsed he allowed the paintings to be shipped out of the state for exhibition purposes.
 The BlanSfield bill, which he said he was introducing at the request of William J. Pape of Waterbury, calls for creation of a five-man commission by the governor to ne gotiate for acquisition of the Brash- CT paintings. The commission would be authorized to secure an option on them and report back to the present legislature what the price would be.
 Senator Blansf1eld also presented a bill which would allow Waterbury teachers with twenty-five years service to retire on pension Of $500 a year.
 Another Blansfield bill seeks to | tighten up the requirements TOT | filing notices in divorce suits in which the defendant is allegedly in- sane.
 Creation of the post of Chief Deputy Sheriff in every county of the state is also sought in another Blnasfeld bill. He would act for the sheriff when the latter could not serve. In New Haven county the official would receive an annual salary of $500 a year.
 Funds for Legion
 Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney Of Wa terbury today introduced in the House a bill seeking an appropria- ton of $5,000 for the American Legion convention to be held III Waterbury this year. Only half oi the appropriation would be used | for this purpose, sthe remaining half being held for the 1s42 con- vention.

 lieved, would give Democrats con- trol of the court patronage, which has hitherto been held by Republi- cans as long as the court has existed.
 Another important feature of the bill is a proviSo that the clerk, as- sistant clerk, and even the messen- ger all be lawyers. However, Sen- ator Blansfleld said that this would not apply in the case of the pres ert assistant clerk, Miss Gertrude Miknaitis.
 All fees collected by the clerk or his assistant, according to the bill, would go to the state. To bal ance this the salary of the clerk would be raised from $4,000 to $, 5,500 a year, while that of the assistant clerk would be advanced from $2,500 to $3,50O a year. The salary of the prosecutor would remain at $2,500 annually.
 With reference to the court mes senger the bill stipulateS that he shall be practicing lawyer who has been admitted to the Bar less than three years prior to his ap- pointment. The messengers term would be for a period of two years only and he could not be reap pointed.
 All present court incumbents would not be affected until their present terms expired or they re- signed.
 Trade School Measure
 Waterbury's State Trade school bill, sponsored jointly by Senators Edward F. Egan and Michael V. Blansheld was introduced today. It asks an appropriation of $200, ,000 by the state to purchase equipment. The city would be obliged to set up an appropriation of $100,000. All this is contingent. however, on use of the David Porter trust fund, now amounting to about $150,000, as well as the land which was left by him for school purposes back in 1886.
 Senator Edward P. Egan intro duced bill amending the state nar- cotics act today at the request of the state board of health. Senator Egan is chairman of the committee on public health and safety to which the bill will probably be referred.
 Senator Theodore Brysh of Meri- den introduced a bill banning the use of parking meters throughout the state of Connecticut.
