in Sparrow's tavern. The case was continued for about two months because MT. Poynton was in the hospital and then in borough court, probable cause was found and 1t was bound over to the Waterbury superior court.
 The superior court in Its Sep- tember term found Sparrow guilty of the charge and sentenced him to year in jail. MT. Poynton in- stituted a civil suit for damages in connection with the alleged as- sault.
 Daniel J. Callahan of Naugatuck, chief deputy on the staff of Sher- if Slavin, was speaking to Wrub. lewski only a half-hour before he was stricken i'll. A priest was sum- moned and he administered to Wrublewski the last rites of the Roman Catholic church.
 He leaves besides his adopted son, his wife, Gladys, who is i'll. Funeral arrangements are in charge of the Fitzgerald funeral home, North Main street here, but have not been completed.
 Today an 1l-year-old boy was sorrowing that fate had stepped in and prevented him from hav- ing a last talk with his father.

Frank Sparrow Dies
 After Heart Attack
Former Naugatuck Tavern Owner Trustee at County
 JaiI-SOn Arrives Few Minutes Too Late

Naugatuck, March l5.-The strug- gle between pride and love for his son lasted @ little too long with Frank (Sparrow) wrublewsEd and as often happens in life, the story doesn't have happy ending.
 Frank, who was better known here as Frank Sparrow, was com- mitted to the New Haven county jail for a years term on September 19, 1940 on a charge of aggravated assault.
 For months he did the work around the jail irh his capacity as trustee in a cheerful mood but oc- casionally moments of sorrow crept in for he wanted to see his adopted son, Eugene, Il, wanted to see him badly, yet he did not want the son to know his father was in jail. For & long time Frank stuck to that re- solve, but love conquered pride and g. few days ago he wrote his son, asking him to come to see him.
 Eugene went to the jail late yes- terday afternoon but arrived to learn his father had died only few minutes before.
 Frank is reported to have suffered a heart attack at the jail, and was rushed to St. Raphael's hospital, New Haven, where he died soon after. A post mortem to determine the cause of death was still under way this morning, 1t was reported.
 Frank may have had some ene- mics here, where he came from Russia, his native land. But down in the county jail he was well liked by all, according to High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin. He was eager to work and to assist others with work, and tried to keep the other prisoners cheerful. Each day he steadfastly maintained he was in- nocent of the charge of which he was convicted, the sheriff said. His sentence would have been complet- cd July 28 and Frank had hoped to be released earlier, the sheriff said, but was refused.
 Well Known Here
 MT. Wrublewgki, who was better known as Frank Sparrow, was well known here. For a number of years he operated a tavern here.
 He was arrested May 28 of last year on charge of aggravated as- sault, it being claimed by the prosecution he had assaulted Thomas Poynton of Rubber avenue

Continued from Page D with the Turks and Free French forces, may be planning joint op- erations against Syria and the DodecaneSe islands. Reports from both Cairo and Vichy yesterday mentioned increasing disorders in Syria and Cairo suggested that Free French sentiment is rising rapidiy in French Levant. The Dodecanese islands have been subjected to heavy air attacks all through this week, possibly in preparation for landing operations 4 to prevent in- reference with conveys which are known to have been reaching the Aegcan)
 Many rumors are circulating in Cairo with the arrival of heavy forces from the homeland as was revealed in recent communique.
 (This colnmunique reported that Australian and New Zealand troops previously stationed in the British Isles have been sent to the Near East.)
 These endorsements for the Im- perlal Army of the Nile are safely conveyed from Britain and their ar- rival seems to have eased Balkan tension somewhat.
 It is thought here that Hitler is not yet ready to attack in the Bal- kans and that the situation Is now at the point where the British and Germans are watching each others every move while they go ahead with preparations which are almost certain eventually to lead to a large scale clash.

HUSBAND LEAVES
 HOME BY REQUEST
Later Arrested for Non- Support; Court Issues
 Order for Allowance

A quarrel over an automobile which started more than year ago brough John Maksimavicius, 33, of l95 Draher avenue in city court to- day with charge of non-support lodged against him by his wife. Judge T. E. Conway granted a con- tinuance to Sept. 15, and during the period of the continuance ordered the accused to pay his wife $4 a week.
 Maksimavicius testified in court that when he wanted to put the car away, his wife objected and as result an argument started. He said that he was ordered out of the house.
 Mrs. Maksimavicius told the court that her husband waited for the op- portunity to be ordered out of the house and seemed happy about the whole affair. She testified that he said "good luck and goodbye" and took the whole incident as humor- ous, which she said she could not see as humorous.
 A nolle on payment of $10 was entered in the case of Donald Por- ter, 34, of Main street, Cheshire. He is charged with speeding.
 A fine of $10 without costs was imposed on William Barron, 25, of 39 Lockhart avenue, on breach of peace charges, and Judge Conway c ntered a suspended sentence on e drunkenness charge.

CContnued rom Page D Conlon as due to the fact that a year ago the city had carried over an item of $l30,000 deficit in budget operations from 1889 which had to be wiped out at the beginning of the new fiscal year.
 Snow Removal Figures
 It is not yet possible to check thoroughly on snow removal figures for 194l, owing to the fact that the current figures were prepared as of February 28 and will not include expenditures made this month dur ing recent heavy snowstorms.
 However, the city appropriated for this year in the snow removal item of the Street Department budget $27 ,000 for labor and $l3000 for truck hire and equipment. Of the former item in January and Feb- ruary only $l5,336.24 was spent, while the city had to pay out $3,- 830.15 for truck hire in the same time.
 March expenditures will cut down the total appropriation considerably, but the city is expectel to have sufficient funds on hand to meet any demands made during November and December of this year for snow re- moval purposes.

A line was put aboard the Mary and Julie by the patrol boat which lowed her to Fins Ledge where she was turned over to a private tug.
