MARTIN BORELLI
 LACERATES HAND

During the excitement at Q fire yesterday afternoon when porch in the rear of a three story wooden building broke into flames on IA Cherry street, Martin Borelli, East Main street, restaurant proprietor, thought some members of his fam fly were stil asleep on the first floor apartment, rushed to the rear door of the kitchen, and crashed the window with his hand.
 He suffered a bad cut which bled profusely. Six companies of ap- paratus answered the alarm which was turned in after a chef in Borelli's restaurant noticed flames shooting along the porch. He sent Anthony Orsino of 29 Anderson ave- nue to the fire box. Acting Deputy Chief Stephen J. Bloomfield super vised the men at the scene.
 A large crowd watched the fire men. Fire Marshal D. J. Lahey believed sparks from smouldering fire in an incinerator in the rear of the restaurant caused the fire when accumulated paper and rubbish underneath became ignited.
 The building is owned by the Wa terbury Savings Bank and has six tenementS. Damage was confined to the porch. Fire Marshal Lahey was. assisted in his investigation by Private Jerry Griffin.

Catholic representation on the Hartford Interfaith Committee has been withdrawn by Most. Reverend Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop Of Hartford, over the birth control is- sue. Rev. Andrew J. Kelly, Catholic representative on the committee, has written letter of resignation to Secretary Lewis J. Fox.
 The end of Catholic participation in the work of the interdenomina- tional group came as a result Of ob- lection by the bishop to questioning of the Catholic stand on birth con- trol. Father Kelly said in his letter that "a temporary" recess may be a benefit, and expressed the fear that a current dispute within the com- mittee might impair chances Of fu- ture unity.
 Dr. Barstow's Address ,
 The specific instance which brought about the resignation of Father Kelly from the 1nterfaith Committee, whose annual open meetings have been a feature of Hartford's Bushnell Memorial Pro- gram, was an address made by the Rev. Robbins w. BarStow, DID,, in Springfield, Mass, on November IA. At that time, Dr. Barstow, one of the most prominent members of the committee, was reported as saying that birth control was an issue of public welfare and not morality D

Bishop McAuliffe Approves Resignation of Father Kelly, Sec'y Birth Control Fight Splits Organization

bership of the committee and pub lication of his letter were delayed until the position of both Father Kelly and Dr. BarStow had been made clear by a mutual conference in the presence of MT. Fox. At this conference, according to Father Kel- ly, Dr. Barstow said that the news paper accounts had misrepresented him. The Hartford Seminary head further expressed his regret that the newspaper account was so far from the fact and declared that he had always felt that birth control was distinctly a moral and spiritual mat ter. He asserted that the actual text of his talk bore out this view.
 Formed in 1888
 The Interfaith Committee was be- gun two years ago in Hartford under the chairmanship of Rabbi Abraham J. Feldman with Dr. Barstow as secretary. The Very Rev. Walter H. Gray, Episcopal Suffragan Bishop of Connecticut, was chairman of the current committee while aFther Kel- ly was secretary. Whether the annual conference at the Bushnell Memo rial would be held this year is now doubtful. Usually it has taken place on the first Sunday of January.

Superhi9hway May Be Extended To Philadelphia;
 First Months Revenues Run Ahead Of Estimates
BY CHARLES c. MILLER NEA Snacial Correspondent

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 10 - First three months operation of the 160- mile superhighway between Harris burg and Pittsburgh convinces the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission it will have no difficulty getting funds for an extension to Philadel- phia.
 Federal agencies financed the project originally. The PWA grant, ed $31, ,500,000 or 45 per cent of the estimated cost. The commission issued SAG, O,800,O0O in bonds and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation purchased the entire issue. Walter A. Jones, chairman of the commis- sion, has been trying to get further federal aid for the Philadelphia eX- tension, but he believes today the entire $55,000,000 cost of the east ward stretch can be financed through sale of bonds to the public.
 "I believe the Pennsylvania Turnpike's record of earnings has answered the question of whether the road will pay for itself to the entire satisfaction of all con- cerned," says Chairman Jones.
 Governor Arthur H. James re- gently authorized the state highway department to spend up to $75,000 for traffic and land survey for the extension of the road to Philadel- phia.
 The road opened October 1, when the tourist season was over.
 Revenue for October and Novem- Der aggregated $41O,586, daily av- craze of $6,731 as compared with the engineers estimates for the first two months of $6,565. In these first two months 434,338 motor vehicles of all types used the turnpike.
 Seasonal slackening of traffic and unusually severe weather with snowstorms cut passenger car travel in November, but truck | traffic increased.
 In October 14884 trucks paid tolls; in November 16,O17. The | commission expects truck traffic to

 Easy grades of the road and the straight smooth surfaces are a temptation to motorists. Sixty state motor police patrol the road but excessive speeds draw only notes of caution.
 Most of the cars that have not disaster have been burned out from their high speeding. There have been but few mishaps ana only four fatalities.

Much of the territory through the Allegheny Mountains is sub- ject to severe snowstorms, but snowplows quickly clear the four traffic lanes.
 One problem for the turnpike's maintenance force is the freezing of the heavy mists that roll down the mountain sides. Cinder used on icy pavements are chemically treated with calcium chloride that melts the ice.
 The PWA is now willing to grant an additional $1,000,000 for a radio traffic control system and other improvements.
