ICOURT DENIES
 LEWIS CLAIM
Abbott Avenue Man Loses Compensation Decision
 to Factory

The compensation claim of Flet- cher Lewis, 69 Abbott avenue, this city, against the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine Co. was dis missed today by Commissioner Jo- seph E. Talbot.
 The local man Slad sought to col- lect compensation for asthma al- legedly contracted as the result of a dusty and smokey condition in the course of his employment, which had disabled him since May 29, 1941.
 in dismissing the claim, Comsr. Talbot ruled that medical examina- tion failed to establish .connec- tion between the claimants allega- tion and his present physical con- dition. The latter, it was stated, is rather due to a heart ailment and Apprehension.
 Harry Limauro of New Haven, in another finding, was awarded $9.60 per week from June 10 to July 1. The grant also leaves open for fu- ture determination all other ques- tions connected with the claim. The employe of the HouSatonic Dyeing and Printing Go. of Derby charged that he had suffered 8 puncture wound of the left thigh. and bruises to the right arm and the right hand. On June 10th he returned to work, but was unable to per- form all of his former tasks. The Derby company has agreed, how. ever, to provide him with employ ment compatible with his present physical condition.

 Other measures under considera- ton he said, are limiting British purchases to finished steel products and tapping hidden reserves" of Fcrap steel, to be found in old au- lomobiles, structural steel and other bulk supplies,

MORE INJURED IN
 DEFENSE PLANTS
to Workers Have Increased 2O@o in
 Past Six Months

Boston, Aug. 1-UP)-AccidentS to workers in defense industries throughout the country for the past six months increased 20 per cent over the previous six months, Lewis E. MacBrayne, New England direc- tor for the National Committee on conservation of manpower in de- fense industries, said today.
 Just back from defense con- ference at Washington, MacBrayne said there had been a noticeable increase in disabling accidents dur ing the last 60 days in some of New England'S larger defense plants. He added, however, that this increase "does not appear to be as unfavor- able as in other parts of the United States"
 MacBrayne said that an Idea of rapid expansion Of defense indus tries may be gained from the fact that ore plant formerly employing. 800 now has i7000 on It's payroll. A small firm working in q cellar on the production Of gAdgets used in the construction Of alrplanes has received a contract for 100000 Of the same airplane parts and has applied for a loan to erect s30..

 Miss Scheff is well known locally having resided just outside the city at Hitchcock lake where she had a summer home for years. She was a familiar figure in the city and also out at the Mattatuck Country club some few years ago.
 In Ladies in Retirement" Miss Scheff plays the part of a gay cho- rus lady of bygone days and ac- cording to press notices does good job with the part which gives her plenty of opportunity for comedy and 8 big emotional scene. Elliott Norton who is rather parsimonious in his praise of Thespians, hands Miss Scheff considerable praise in Boston Post story and devotes his entire article to the actress saying in part "she definitely has something to give"
