 Families which have moved to Waterbury since the start of the de- fenSe boom are reminded by pr. Godfrey that their children cannot enter local schools, no matter what grades they have completed, unless the local vaccination ordinance Is obeyed. Many of the families, says the health officer, may come here from areas where vaccination is not compulsory.
 Another step advocated by pr. Godfrey is a thorough physical ex- animation for each child. Such an examination, he points out, will bring out unsuspected ailments that may exist and allow the start oi prompt treatment to cure them. He also recommends that teeth be ex- arnined.
 Many youngsters entering school for the first time this fall Werg vaccinated at the pre-schonl c9inicl held in July.

 ON GIRL VICTIM
Something New Discov- cred That Has Puzzled
 Even District Attorney

Lynn, Mass, Aug. 9-(UP)-A second autopsy was performed to- day on the mutilated body of pretty Frances Cochrane as Essex county investigators sought more definitely to establish the time and place of her death at the hands of mani- acal rapist.
 Dist.-Atty. Hugh A. Gregg ordered the body exhumed for re-examina- tion after yesterdays conference at which all the officials who have participated in the 23-day inquiry reviewed the case and pooled their ideas. The autopsy was performed by Dr. Alan R. Moritz, Harvard medical-legal expert, and Medical Examiner Ignatius zielinski of Salem.
 Authorities today had released two persons questioned yesterday and last night in connection with the murder of the 19-year-old book keeper. One was a 15-year-old boy whose father owns an old square backed sedan such as that which Miss Cochran was seen to enter shortly before her death. The other was a 36-year-old married women from Norwood who was quoted as having remarked to two men in a Norwood cafe that she was out with the slayer the night before Miss Cochran was murdered. Under ques- tioning, the woman denied that she made such statement.
 Gregg disclosed that State Chem ist Joseph T. Walker had found traces of fresh lubricating oil on both the front and back of Miss Cochran's shirtwaist. Gregg said this suggested the possibility that the. crime occurred in a garage Blood on the bottom of the victims right stocking was another indica- ton that the girl was indoors when attacked, he said.
 The district-attorney said he was puzzled by the discovery of single strand of red hair in the victim's clothing. Miss Cochran was a bru- nette, and all witnesses who saw her enter the death car agreed that the man at tho wheel had dark hairs

Four -Motored Planes From Russia Hammered At Berlin
HOUSE TO FIGHT
 LONG SERVICE
Senate Passed Extension of Time; But House Mem=
 bers Are Not Favorable
BY JAMES SKEPLEY United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, August g - (UP) - Administration leaders believed to- day that they may have to accept shorter military service exten- sion than the IS months voted by the Senate in order to get the leg islation through the House.
 It was learned that they are ready to take any extension they can get in the House, believing that when the bill goes to confer ence where the Senate and House versions will be reconciled, they'll be able to work out form ac- ceptable to the army and the pres ident.
 The House leaders were repre- sented as feeling that down-the- line fight for House approval of the Senate's 18-month extension would involve the risk of defeat.
 The bill will be debated an hour and half Monday and then read for amendments. Leaders hoped that the final vote would be talk en late Monday.
 The first big floor fight proba- ply will come when Republican members of the military affairs E.cnmmittee seek r-tosa aHIiminate selee- tees from the extension entirely They propose that guardsmen, re- servists and regulars be retained, in service but that selectees be dis charged at the end of their al- lotted year. The army would be permitted to limit to 45,000 the number of selectees discharged in
 Various proposals will be offered by both Republicans and Demo- crats to cut the time of the ex- tension below 18 months.
 House non-interventionist lead CT Hamilton Fish, R., N. r., opened the attack on the service extension yesterday, charging it was part of a"gigantic plot" to involve America in war without the consent of Congress and against the will of the people.
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, of the military affairs commit tee, said the bill was essential to national defense. Rep. Martin Dies, D., Tex, said the nation must be ready to make sacrifices to preserve it's liberty.
