FORMER LOCAL DOCTOR ALIVE
Latest Reports Indicate Dr. Devenis in Custody of
 Russian Authorities

New rumors received by Mrs. Michael Devenis, of Elmwood ave- nue, a Lithuanian refugee, that her husband, a former well known Lith- uanion physician of Waterbury, had been killed have been branded as false. Last spring the local woman who has three children, all of whom are citizens of this country, received word from her mother in Lithuania that her husband was a prisoner in Russian concentration camp. These reports were confirmed at the time.
 Dr. Devenis was detained by the Russians shortly after the Russian occupation of Lithuania, his wife and three children escaping to Ger many and then making their way here. Reports have arisen from time to time that the well-known physi- clan had been put to death because of activities previous to the Russian occupation.
 The local woman is employed at the Scovill Mfg. company iii the foreign department. The last an- nouncement of the falsity of the re- ports was received by Rev. Frank Tishkins, pastor of the First Con- gregational church in Bethel and a former resident of Waterbury, who is close friend of the Devenis family.

MORE CITY HALL
 CHANGES LIKELY.
Lounge for Women Em- plOyes Planned By Re-
 mOvaI of Payroll Office

Further changes in the location of city hall offices are being con- sidered by city officials in an effort. to centraliZe departmental activi- ties and to make it more convenient for taxpayers.
 In addition to changes now un-. derway at the tax collectors office, 1t is now planned to move the ofice of the payroll clerk, now on the top floor, to the office of the city clerk on the first floor. The vacated office will, it is expected, be made oyer into lounge for women employees at the city hall.
 Further changes are also being considered, since more convenient quarters will have to be found for the health department. The de- pertinent, now located on the third floor, has since last year been in charge of vital statistics and needs a more convenient location. One suggestion that has been made is that the health department be given building or rented quarters of its own, which would house not only the administrative and clerical staffs but the city laboratory as we'll
 The tax office alterations will make several more windows avail able for taxpayers. The old age as- sistance tax office is being moved to the main tax office, and its for mer quarters, on the second floor, are being taken over by the park department.

FOUR FIRES HIT
 WORCESTER, MASS.
Hotel, Church, Two Houses Burned in Different
 Parts of City

Worcester, Mass, April ? = U. P) - Four fires, two of them null tiple alarms, swept hotel, a church and two houses in different sections of the city early today with an esti- mated $l00,oO0 total damage.
 Police said no incendiarism was suspected in the blazes, chief 0f which ruined the tWo-story 4O- room Hotel Mayfair in the business district with $75,000 damage.
 Tho 69-year-old unused Piedmont Congregational church was des- troyed with about $23,000 damage in 8 two alarm fire which started in the front of the 60-foot high structure and swept back, causing its slate roof to collapse. Situated in the South End of the city, the brick church had been va- cant for the past several years after three Congregational churches con- solidated.
 Bremen also fought two minor house fires which caused damage estimated at S1,000 each.
 At the three-alarm Mayfair fire, two persons were hurt and several firemen were treated for minor in- juries on the scene as 70 residents, mostly theatrical people and enter tainers, fled. The blaze was believed to have started in basement radio supply shop.
 George Cortello, 45, and his wife Mildred, 40, both of Los Angeles, who have been appearing at the Ply mouth theater here with trained dog act, were hospitalized.
