NIGHT ACCIDENTS
 TAKE HEAVY TOLL
More Lives Lost This Year Than Last; 70 Killed So
 Far in l942

A bulletin of the Highway Safety Commission points out that night traffic accidents in Connecticut cities killed more people this year than last on the basis of figures compiled for the nine-month period, January to October. The statistics show that 79 lives were lost this year, 78 lives in l941.
 These figures run contrary to the statewide decrease of g per cent in fatal accidents, and offset the favorable day accident total in the states urban areas.
 Traffic fatality toll on Connecti- cuts rural highways was down 30 per cent, principally because war time conditions have decreased travel on these roads.
 The bulletin points out that the h. urs of extend, darkness in the late fall and winter months very often are responsible for fatal ac- cidents. To date, including the months of greatest daylight, more than 37 per cent of the states traf- fic fatalities have been the result of night accidents in city areas.

Over strenuous objections of Gov

davit of prejudice against the jurist,
District Court Justice T. Alan
Goldsborough this afternoon or
dered the hearing on motions to
proceed in the case of George Syl-
vester Viereck, Nazi agent, indicted
on a charge of failing to register
properly with the State Department.
A special appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals here Is
threatened by the Government.
William Power Maloney, special
assistant to the Attorney General,
told Justice Goldsborough that the
jurist is so biased in this case that
the Government cannot get q fair
trial against Mr.. Viereck. The trial
is scheduled to start Wednesday.
Mr.. Maloney filed the afndavit Of
prejudice as soon as Justice Colds
borough took the bench In Criminal
Court No. l this afternoon. After
reading the amdavit, Justice Colds
borough declared that it was not In
accordance with the facts, as known

Mr.. Maloney read from a Supreme

no further in the case, but certify
it another Judge.

the C. I. o. and A. F. L. resume
their peace talks will be consid-
cred by the c. l. o. Executive
Board at a meeting Saturday,

Mr.. Murray, according to an As

NIT the proposal to the board.
At the same time, William Green,

statement here denying that the
Executive Council of his organiza-
ton had agreed already on a peace
proposal or a slate of officers, as re-
ported today by the New York Times.
Mr.. Green said there was "abso-
lutely no truth" in the Times story.
Mr.. Murray pointed out in a let
ter to Mr.. Lewis, his predecessor as
head of the C. I. O., that all arrange
ments in behalf Of the c. I. o. with

He pointed out that it had been
more than two years since c. 1. o.
"A. F. L. representatives had con-
ferred on the problem of uniting
into single labor organization.
Mr.. Murray said that his prime
work at the moment "and for some
time to come will be with this wage

Little Steel" representatives. which
necessarily are Of more importance
than any other matters now pend

ondary consideration.

As to comment on a suggestion
