privilege of comforting with his
client, Attornel Mascolo said today
he would file an application for writ
Of habeas corpus the first thing to-
morrow unless officials change their
stand.
'T am drawing up the papers this
afternoon and they will be fled in
superior court unless I am advised
that the incommunicado order has

II feel that Daddona Is entitled
to consult counsel and there is no
legal right to hold him iricommuni-

Police are working on the theory
that Caruso was killed in q fight
which started in Pals restaurant
and continued later on South Elm
street.
Way Fight Started
Several Of the il material wit
neSSes who were taken into custody
during the investigation OF the
murder Friday night and Saturday
morning said that Caruso and Dad
dona started to fight over the Sc.
lection Of q record on a luke box.
Daddona was put out Of the tavern
and Caruso was told to remain IS
minutes in order to give Dad dona
time to leave the neighborhood and
avoid further trouble.
It is understood, however, that
Daddona was waiting for Caruso
when the latter left the tavern later
and the fight continued on the
other side Of the street. Palermo Is
said to have been one of the wit
nesses to the latter phases Of the
fight which resulted in the stabbing.
The only other material witness
who has not been released Is Ruth
Carter, IS, who gave her address as
Peoli, Pa. She Is held at New Ha-
ven County jail in lieu Of $500
bond. PatrOlman August RinaIdi
acted as interpreter during the
questioning Of Palermo and Dad
dona today.
Caruso is survived by a wife and
three children. Daddona Is said to
have o wife and son residing In
italy.

The fatal knife wound was said
to have pierced Caruso's heart. He
died at st. Mary's hospital at 1888

Joel Dean, OPA gasoline rationing
chief, said present plans for the east
viii allow "A" (non- essentiaD book
holders to average slightly less than
four gallons of gasoline week If
rationing is not made nationwide.
That would be slight increase over
what they are getting nova little
more than three gallons a week.
But II the rationing program is
extended to all states, Dean said
everyone in the country holding the
basic "a" ration book would get a
little more than four gallons week.
Thus, fasteners stand to gain If
the presidnt decides that the rub
her situation is serious enough to
rurtail driving even in states with
plentiful supplies.
Statement Coming
Archibald MacLeish, director Of
the once Of Facts and Figures who
was present at last Tuesdays meet
ing Of the War Production Board
and at a White House conference
last Friday-both sessions about
gasoline-is preparing a statement
on the general rubber-gasoline stu
alton. This material, 1t wa" said,
may be issued from the White
House this week.
The next WPB meeting. pnStpon-
ed from Tuesday to Wednesday be-
cause Of Chairman Donald M. Nell
sons absence, may make final plans
20 carry out nationwide rationing If
the president gives the go ahead
signal.
Meanwhile, Dean explained that
An order to obtain gasoline above
the basic "A" ration under the new
system for the east, motorists would
have to establish the following:
!. That the amount of gasoline
permitted under his "a" card was
Insufficient for necessary driving.
2. That the motorist used his car
IN connection with his work, includ-
ing going from his residence to his
JOB.
3. That the owner was a member
Of car pool carrying at least three
Others going in his general direction.
4. That bus services or other pub
&c conveyance6 were unavailable.
He said that In forming car pools
preference would be given to the
larger capacity automobiles carry
ing four or more passengers. The

have difaculty in obtaining supple

Pearl Harbor, June 8.-(UP)-
United States forces are seeking to
! regain contact with the crippled
japanese main fleet as 1t limpS
westward toward Japan while other
units are battling Japanese naval
forces in the Hawaii-Du harbor
area, it was understood today.
Well informed quarters said that
behind the carefully restricted COM
muniques on the Japanese fleet de-
feat in an attack on Midway islands
was a story of unsurpassed hero
ism and narrowing experiences by
the American victors which would
thrill and inspire every American.
An announcement that the United
States forces had lost contact with
the enemy fleet, hurled back at
Midway, did not necessarily mean
the battle had ended.
American forces were believed
marrying the enemy, seeking to sink
its many damaged ships and to
knock out tohers and that the chase
would end only when the japanese
fleet neared the range limit Of
American land-based planes.
In the 1858 mile stretch OF the
Pacific extending north-northwest-
ward to Dutch Harbor, another
battle was in progress, with the
result interminate because Of bad
weather and lack Of detailed reports.
Admiral Chester w. NimitZ, COM
handing the Pacific fleet, announced
the apparent withdrawal Of the
enemy fleet from the Midway zone
after losing an additional destroyer
sunk and perhaps two additional
cruisers damaged.
Admiral Ernest J. King, COM
mander in chief Of the United States
fleet, announced at Washington that
action in the Aleutian Islands zone,
started when the japanese raided
Dutch Harbor Wednesday, continued.
Nimitz, in his latest communicate
issued at his Pacific fleet head
quarters here, disclosed minor sub
marine activity in the vicinity Of
the Hawaiian islands.
He announced that United

This made the total United States
losses as so far announced one
destroyer sunk and one aircraft
carrier damaged.
What japanese Lost
The Japanese lost, in a blaz-
ing four-day aerial-naval battle:
Sunk
Aircraft Carriers-Two sure, three
probably, with all their planes, to-
falling anywhere from so to 100.
Destroyer-One.
Damaged
Battleships-Three, at least one
badly.
Aircraft CarrierS-One, or two
probably, both seriously; most of
their aircraft, numbering anywhere
from 80 to 80 each, destroyed.
Cruisers-Four to six, at least two
heavily.

There is more than one agency in the United States soliciting funds for the various countries and the com mittee is to determine the best way to get the relief to the needy Ma t!onals of these four countries and to be absolutely sure that it does not fall into the hands of the en- emy.

COASTAL CITIES BUY HEAVILY IN WAR INSURANCE
Ry CHRIsTTNE soUIRE.mLL


 Chicago. Aug. 25. Federal against losses by enemy action Is finding a ready market among the cities which stand to lose most from such action, survey of the Muni- cipal Finance Oficers Association reveals.
 All but three of 21 major coastal cities are taking out extensive war risk coverage for possible damage to city buildings and their contents, municipally owned bridges and res ervoirs; automotive equipment, and police and fire alarm systems. Of g major inland cities only six are tnsuring their properties against bombing.
 War risk insurance has been available since July 1. Public and private property owners may buy it locally from agencies co-operat- ing with the Federal government, at the following rates: 10 cents per $100 value of fireproof construction; IS cents for ordinary construction. 30 cents if public utilities. The in- surance companies pay 10 per cent of losses up to maximum of $20,- 100000 in excess of net premiums collected; the government stands good for the rest
 Los Angeles, Baltimore, Seattle, and Hartford, Conn, head the most extensive-coverage list, with re- spective amounts of $114000, 900, STA, ,229, 900, $30,000,OO0 and $21 ,638,- GOO.
 Los Angeles coverage includes municipal buildings, harbor facili- ties, water and power equipment and school properties, the latter &C., counting for around $84,00O000 of the total Hartford has insured all public buildings and their contents, automotive equipment, street light Ing systems, bridges, and swimming pools.
 New York, biggest of all coastal cities, has notified the association that 1t probably will not buy gov- ernment-underwr1tt insurance. h. stead, 1t will self-insure.
 Among the inland cities, Detroit Is insuring most heavily, with pre- miums on $59,0O0,000 worth of in- surance which does not include municipal properties with indivi- dual valuations of less than $500,- 900. The street railway system, and properties of the board of educa- tion, and the municipal housing authority will be covered separately
 Cities which apparently regard their geographical location as par tial insurance against WIT dmageS include Fort Worth, Tex, Allentown, F., and Wheeling, w. Va. Their coverage averages approximately s2,OO0, 900. Other cities carrying the insurance are Alameda, San Bern ardano, San Diego, and Stockton, Cal: Brunswick, Ga.; Yonkers, N. Y.; Charleston, s. S.; Newton, Mass; Clifton, N. J.: and Canton, O.
 Major interior cities which have indicated they probably will not buy the new insurance are Chicago, Cincinnati and Denver.
