The
flying fishes
don't 1Uant to
20 back home

X/OU CAN take the word Of
l. an old salt-and YOU know
they nerer exaggerate - that
flying fishes are getting TO be
a problem. Aboard our tankers,
we mean. When one hits the
deck of q Standard vessel. il
finds the surroundings so nice
ii refuses TO hop back in the
ocean.
Recently it developed that
accommodations for the crews
of our newer tankers- the IVY.
H. Berg" the H. d. Collier"
and the M. E. Lombardi"-
made the quarters of more vet
Gran tankers look a mite time
worn. This Company would
never stand for the likes of that.
So a program was adopted
of hauling our other tankers
into shipyards and forthrightly
equipping them with new state
rooms for the men. The fittings
include a wide berth, with a
mattress thicker than a double
malt, two armohairs, a desk,
locker, and fan. This brings the
quarters nearer the standard of
the meals which would grace
any hrst-class hotel.
All this is in line with Stand
ards longtime belief that en-
ployees who lire as we'll as
UOrk on the job should be
given every possible consider
alton. Sea-going men come un-
der that head. If the flying fish
want to be jealous they'll just
have TO be Jealous.

Tn the opinion of County De- tective Richard c. Hall of Middle town, John Rutkauskas, 21, of fl South Leonard street, of this city, owes his present plight to read ing too many crime stories" Rut- kauskas, who is on the danger list at teh Middlesex hospital in Mid- dletown where authorities there reported no change in his condi- tion, has chance to recover uIl- less complications developed.
 Rutkauskas was shot in the ab- dome nby one of two state troop CTS Monday afternoon in 8 dead end street in Old Saybrook after he was trapped following a chase of three miles.
 Lieut.. Irving W. Schubert, com manding officer of the Westbrook barracks, said that Trooper How ard w. Sternberg and Student Of- ficer Walter Smiegel, who were in- vestigating a reporte dstolen car, sighted Rutkauskas driving in a car at Phelps Corner in Essex and pur- sued the youth. The chase was through heavy holiday traffic and at times the state police said that the youth was driving at 75 miles an hour and more.
 Finally Rutkauskas drove in a blind street and jumped out of his car and ran around the house. One of the troopers went in an opposite direction to head him off while State Trooper Sternberg followed close behind Rutkauskas after flee- ing stopped and swung around, firing at the state trooper who then returned the volley and the bullet hit the youth in the ab- domen.
 Detective Hall who questioned the youth said that the youth did not blame the trooper for shooting him, since he would have done the same thing if he was in his place.

BANK PROTESTS
 TAX PAYMENTS
Building Assessed Torn Down Nearly Five
 Years Ago

The waterbury Savings bank in- formed the board of aldermen last night that it doesn't like to pay taxes on building which was torn down several years before and asked that something be done about 1t.
 Tn a letter to the board, the bank related that building it owned at 46-4S Spring street was torn down in November, 1936, but nevertheless the board of tax commissioners listed the existent building as taxable in the 1887 and 1888 lists.
 As a result, said the bank, it had to pay taxes on the demolished building in 1888 and 1899. Now, the board was told, the bank would like refund of the $3S250 in extra taxes it had to pay.
 The aldermen referred the request to the board of tax commissioners.

 The detective said the intruders prowled through the newly decor ated one structure building and then forced the front door when they left the premises.
 The proprietor, yesterday morning before g o'clock, came to the store, but on trying the door found that the lininvited guests had forced it open.
 As he arranged the floral baskets received from many friends and wishers, the proprietor said the intruders may have taken souvenirs, but he termed the earlier opening unofficial.

bicycle against him, told Detective Hall that he found the guns and was out having a joy ride, the de- tective did not accept this version of the wounded youths story but said that the youth had emulated the exploits of what he read in detective stories.
 The youths statement to Detec- tive Hall was that when Student Officer Smiegel came upon him he was unarmed and that Rutkaus- kas said he attempted to frighten off his pursuers by firing in the air. Officer Sternberg who was armed, fired into the air to dis arm Rutkauskas, but the latter fired at him and missed.
 Lieut.. Schubert said he would send the youths fingerprints to the FBI in Washington, D. O., and to several large cities, among them New York and Boston.
 The car Rutkauskas stole was owned by Francis Delaney of 222 Highland avenue, Waterbury, and state police said it would be kept by them in order to offer it as evil dence before it is returned to its owner.

 I've been on this board for almost 10 yOars," said Alderman Kingston ''and for eight years we on the mi- rlority side were always given a chance to speak.
