CASSIDY'S SUIT
 LABELED JOKE
Defendant Makes Refer- ence During Testimony
 Which Ended Yesterday

Testimony ended in common pleas court yesterday afternoon in the action brought by Atty. John H, Cassidy against the city of Water bury and its parking meters. Judge Thomas J. Wall ordered both par ties in the suit to file briefs, giving the plaintiff two weeks to file its briefs, one week to the defendant to answer, and one more week for the plaintiffs answer making total of one month. The decision on the case, in which Atty. Cassidy seeks $5,000 damages and an injunction restraining the city from operating parking meters, will be made after the briefs are studied.
 Numerous city officials were call- ed to the witness stand in the col- orful action referred to as a "joke" by the defense. The hearing used up four days of the courts time.
 The plaintiff claimed through his attorney, Lawrence Lewis, that the value of his property on Leaven- worth street and West Main street has decreased since the meters were installed. He further charged the city with maintaining nuisance pointing out alleged hazards meter posts create for pedestrians. Claim ing the meters were illegal because no specific appropriation had been made for their installation and be- cause no contract for renting them was signed, MT. Cassidy also asked rent for the meters in front of his property in the event the court finds them to be illegal.
 One of the chief arguments pre- sented by the plaintiff regarding the illegality of the meters was that they were a revenue source which has not been authorized.

MACARTHUS HAS
 HIT HARD BLOW
(Continued from Page D

Guinea south coast.
 Macarthur announced in his com munique that the Allies came through the big series of engage ments without loss.
 Four Planes Hit
 Four Allied planes were hit by zero machine gun bullets in the savage Port Moresby dog fight but none was damaged seriously, and at least five zeros staggered ott with serious damage, probably to crash in the mountainous New Guinea interior.
 No doubt was held here that the Allied raids on Dill, Rabaul and Salamaua opened finish fight, on a scale never seen in the Antlpodes, for supremacy of the air.
 Both sides had been organizing for 1t. For four days, Allied and Japanese planes had been conduct ing aerial reconnaissance marking the final preparation, and Mac Arthur then hit first and hard.
 Seizing the initiative in the dark early hours of this morning, one great fleet of allied planes, prob- ably including Boeing Flying Fort resses and great Consolidated B-24 bombers, set out for the 800 miles flights to Dill and Rabaul from tneir secret bases.
 At Dill, on the Portuguese end ot Dutch-Portuguese Timor, the Allied planes roared in at low altitude and scored direct hits with their biggest bombs on enemy occupied buildings Great fires blazed as they smashed bomb after bomb on their targets.
 In a similar night attack, Allied planes concentrated on the enemy airdrome runway, plane dispersal areas and building areas of the great Rabaul base.
 Waited For Enemy
 They bombed at will, waiting vainly for the whine of enemy fighter plane motors, and returned with their bomb racks empty, look ing back 60 miles at fires they hao started.
 At Salamaua, smaller unit woke up those Japanese 1t did not kill by plastering the trop barracks witr bombs and machine gun bullets.
 Their remaining ammunition wal used on scattered supply points 1T the area.
 It was understood that the Allie: had used a number of new secret bases just built.
 Apparently, from the lack O. Ienemy fighter planes challenge, thu Japanese were caught unaware. be- lieving that the Allies were not ye ready to make their challenge.
 There seemed no doubt from re- ports here that the Japanese has Isuffered greater damage than in an. lprevious single day operation sinc' AGacArthur took over.

"Last night very large forces of our aircraft drawn from all home and operational commands of the Royal Air Force were in operation.
 "The bombing force consisted of more than 1000 aircraft and its main objective was Bremen, the enemy's second largest port and one of its principal centerS of subma- rine production.
 Large fires were seen but con- siderable amount of heavy cloud made accurate observation of re- suits very difficult.
 ITO disorganize the enemy's de- lenses many air fields in the Low Countries were subjected to inten- S!ve harassing attacks by a second force of bombers and fighters.
 "In course of these introducer operations. and in many combats which took place between our bonb- CTS and enemy fighters, some enemy aircraft were damaged or destroyed.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. %.
CONFRONTED by increasing

shortages OF male stars and
materials, Hollywood has con-
cluded its first year Of war with
the conviction real genius can
triumph over any obstacle.
Going into a new year, the

effect of the new $4,000 net
salary limitation. This might,
in effect, expect a star accus-
toned TO being paid $150,000 a

the highest paid performers
showed their willingness TO
gladly give all their income over

but a disinclination 10 permit

A satisfactory solution was
expected. however. by every one.

other handicaps overcome.

up TO S250,000. There was the
shortage of vital materials, such

Election Likely
To Alter Fate
OF 1919 Draft

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 tUP) i.
The major immediate problem
facing Congress as il returns from
an informal election recess is the
bill allowing conscription of Is
and 19-year-old youths.
Both the Senate and House
have passed a bill lowering the
draft age 10 1S. but the Senate
added an amendment which would
prohibit the use of teen-aged SOL
diers- in combat until they have
had a year of training. The House
defeated an attempt TO place such
a stipulation in the bill.
There was no indication Set
whether the strong Republican
gains in the elections would have
any effect on the final version.

VETO Is POSSIBLE

Some congressional sources, how
ever, said they had heard that the
army might ask President RooSe-
Welt to veto the bill if it carries
the training amendment. They
pointed out that the army would
prefer TO continue voluntary en-
lstment of Is and 19-year-oldS
than 10 be restricted in the use of
youths under the selective service
system.
Gen. George G. Marshall. army
chief of staff. told congressional
committees during hearings on the
bill that such a training amend
'ment would seriously hamper the
work of the army.
The House is scheduled TO vote
