TWO ARRESTED AT
 SCENE OF CRASH
Army Sergeant Prefers Charges--Richards Fined
 -KiriakO FOrfeits Bond

Albert Richards, 24, of i Grove court, Waterbury, was fined $25 and costs of $40 in Wolcott court last night on charges of breach of the peace and trespassing preferred by an Army sergeant in charge of the detail guarding the P-40 pursuit plane which crashed Thursday night in the front yard of the home of William F. Kleckner.
 Richards, 8 former soldier, was charged with refusing to leave the scene of the plane crash.
 Another Waterbury man, Alex ander Kiriako, 21, of 2o94 East Main street forfeited bond of $25 by failing to appear in court on a charge of breach of peace lodged by the same Army sergeant. Ac- cording to Sergeant Aldo R. Giovan- nini, the complainant, Kiriako stop ped to look at the plane and was ordered to move along. Kiriako became obscene in the presence of young girls" and made some sar- castle remarks about the sergeant's occupation, according to the testi- mony.
 State Trooper Edward J. Dooling of Bethany barracks arrested both men.
 Tn connection with the Richards case Sergt. .Giovannini said:
 T ordered the man out of woods through which the plane ripped when it crashed. He began argu- ing with me and refused to leave. Finally drew my service auto matic on him and odrered him of the property once more.
 He didn't move, just stood there and dared me to shoot him. Just about that time another guard came up with his pistol also drawn. We decided not to waste any more time on the man and called for the state policeman"
 The sergeant said that after Richards had been arrested by the trooper the accused threatened to trace him through his company, find him when he was out of uni form and "beat him up"

Eight Pedestrians Killed On Local Streets Since Jan.
JURY'S VERDICT
 SUSTAINS WILL
Long, Bitter Legal Dispute Decided by Six Men, Six
 Women Yesterday

After one hour of deliberation { superior court jury composed of sin men and six women late yesterday afternoon returned a verdict sus. taining the will of the late Mrs, Anna Buck Robinson in which her husband, Stephen Robinson, is named sole beneficiary. Trial in the case opened June IT and lasted for six days. A superior court jury which heard the appeal in December, l040, returned the same verdict but the case was ordered to be retried after the supreme court ruled an error had. been made in the first trial.
 The action was instituted by Mrs. Robinson's father, Lorerz Buck, but since his death the litigation has been continued by daughter, Miss Minerva Buck of Cheshire, who is administratrix of her fathers estate. The appellant claimed that Mrs. Robinson has been unduly influ- enced by her husband when she signed the will November 26, 1930. MT. Robinson is a former local school teacher and former owner of the Palace Cleaners and Dyers. The estate of Mrs. Robinson amounts to about $30,000.
 The jury returned its verdict at 5:10 yesterday. The case was the last one for the sprig session of the court which has adjourned for 2 summer recess. Judge Edward J. Daly who presided completed his as- signment here and will be replaced by another jurist in the Fall.

months of February, March and May. There were no automobile fatalities here in April and thus far in June one automobile passen- ger and a pedestrian have stlc- cumbed to traf1c accident injuries.
 WaterbuYy's record jlstihes a statement contained in the current issue of 'TrafElc Topics" issued by the state department of motor ve- hivles: Police department execu- tives generally anticipate that the expected reduction in motor vehicle movement developed through gaso- line rationing will so affect the traffic problem that traflc divisions and bureaus can be curtailed if not eliminated.
 '"The assumption is not justified b ysuch trafflc accident experience as has been recorded during the first four months in Connecticut" !" the article continues.
 During the first three months of l942 about 6,400 trafflc accidents were recorded, approximately the same total as year ago. Current figures being provisional, no set comparison can be made at this time but if any difference exists 1t will be few cases more for this year, rather than less.
 "Yet the motor vehicle movement each month, with the exception of January, has been substantially less than a year ago. Theoretically, the traffic accident experience should fluctute in the same degree as mo- tor vehicle use. Actually such is not the case, indicating that re- duced use of motor vehicles is one thing, but safer motor vehicle op- eration Is still another" the article states.
 Aged Victims
 An interesting feature of the fatalities here involving seven pe- destrians here since January ] Is that all were advanced in years.
 The three killed in January were aged 55, 5s and 60; February's fatality was 60; March's, 54, and June's 68.
 For the first five months of the year, January through May, traffic fatalities in Connecticut numbered 126 as compared with one less-127 at the same time last year. As of June IS, however, Connecticut's traffic fatalities for 1922 were 16 cases less than on the correspond ing date a year ago, a reduction of almost il per cent, which in the opinion of state motor vehicle de- partment officials is "the most encouraging development in our 1e42 trafflc fatality experience this year."

qualified endorsement of Colnmis- sioner Mclaughlin, who is resigning to become a member of the supe- rior court bench.
 The Waterbury man is one of three leading candidates mentioned for the post. The others are At torney Dennis O'Connor, of Hart ford, a member of the staff of U. s. District Attorney Robert F. Butler, and Attorney Edward Lon- ergan, of Hartford, nephew of for- mer U. S. Senator Augustine Lonergan.
 MT. Dauch, a former law asso- ciate of Judge Edward Mascolo and Attorney James Mcknight, has never been active in politics. He has won many commentators for his work as deputy state tax con- missioner. If not promoted to the commissionership he will retain his present post.
 Appointment of MT. Dauch would be the principal piece of patronage given Waterbury since Governor Hurley's administration began. The local Democratic organization has received little recognition from the state administration.

Late Supreme Court
 Jurist Given Tribute
Senator BansfieId Lauds Farsightedness of Louis D.
 Brandeis at Mutual Savings Banks Dinner

and stated that applications to dae in Connecticut amounted to more than $9O0,000 and the amount ot Savings Bank Life Insrance in force is now over $700,00O. He stated that seventeen savings banks out of total of seventy-two in Connecti- cut have already entered the sys- tenn and many more are considering taking on this added service.
 Tribute was also paid during Sen- ator Rlansfield's talk to the late Supreme Court Jurist Louis D. Brandeis, father, of Savings Bank Life Insurance in the United States when he said Judge Brandeis was farsighted and convinced that the battle for economic liberty is as important for the future of man. kind as the battle for the preserva- tion of our home and the liberty and freedom, political and otherwise, of all the peoples of the world".
 Senator Blansfield in his remarks brought out the fact that in Mas sachusetts over a quarter of a billion of life insurance is now in force and New York which has had the system for three years has over twenty-five million dollars in force showing that there is place for this particular service and it has proved to be a real asset to the bank in providing for new contacts with their communities. He further added "Connecticut is proud of its mutual savings bankers who by their vision and foresight and now by their intensive cooperation have car- ried into greater effect the under lying purpose of promoting the saf- ety of thrift savings in a way that has never heretofore been accom- plished and is proceeding at faster pace in Connecticut than the gover- nor or the sponsors of this legis- lation have ever hoped for.

NEW CAR-SHARINC
 CLUBS ORGANIZED
Idea Will Save Tires, Gas and AutOs-COOpera-
 ton Urged

Formation of Sharing clubs to save tires, gasoline and cars will soon be proposed to the public of Waterbury by the Waterbury De- fense Council. Citizens will be asked to arrange with friends and fellow workers for sharing of automobiles to get to and from work.
 The Defense Councils proposal will be made on recommendation of the Office of Civilian Defense. A letter urging that such clubs be formed is being sent out from Washington over the signatures of Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, Secretary Of the Navy Frank Knox, Secretary of the Interior Harold l.. Tckes. Chairman Donald Nelson of the War Production Board, Price Administrator Leon Henderson and Director Joseph B. Eastman of the Office of Defense Transportation.
 Under the government program, the city Defense Council will ask employers to cooperate in the car sharing drive. Civic and communi- ty organizations will also be asked to give their assistance. It is prob- able that neighborhood centers will be set up for the registration of Car Sharing clubs and members in the various parts of the city.
 Under the new gasoline ration ing regulations for the eastern states, which become effective July p, car owners will not be eligible gas unless they can prove that they are members of pooling groups. Otherwise they will receive only the basic "A" card.
 Registration for the new gas ra- tioning program will be held July g, 10 and Il. Car-Sharingy clubs should be formed by that time.

cases,
 Other equipment carried by the car as specified by Constable Scott who has experienced more than 100 air raids in England, includes 8 fifty gallon wated tank with stirrup pump attached, ten bags of sand, each weighing 20 pounds, two fire extin- guishers, five water pails, an official fire axe, long handled shovel, a hoe, and Sledge hammer.
 The stretcher carrier has been tested and approved by the medical division of the United States Army and meets the requirements of the Offlce of Civilian Defense. It was developed by MT. Ruxton in the in- terest of civilian defense when 1t became evident that the number of ambulances needed in the United States to protect danger zones could not be supplied due to priorities.
 The carrier weighs only 75 pounds, and is ruggedly constructed of wood and strap steel, using a minimum of priority materials. It's seven by two feet collapsible framework has two upper and lower trasks to hold reg ulation stretchers. Four small metal planes, screwed to the floor of a truck or station wagon, hold the car- rier in place, and tests have shown it is possible to unpack the carrier and have it in position in less than one minute. When not in use, it may be folded compactly and stored in garages or other convenient places. A unique feature of the carrier is that the upper track tits at one end to the level of the floor. Thus, when loading stretcher case into the up- per level, the weight of the body causes the track to swing back into place. Two people are thereby able to load the upper level, whereas, if the tilting device was not included, four people would be required,
