GARAGE FIRE
 SOON CHECKED
Good Work By Firemen Prevents Bridge Street
 Blaze Spreading

Naugatuck, July 27-Fast work by local flremen extinguished blaze in a garage off Bridge street, owned by Miss Rachel Dobkin, and an ad- joining garage shed, owned by An thony Laguna. The buildings were situated in back of Laguna's Hop Brook grill.
 Damage to the garage and shed and contents is estimated by Fire Chief John J. Sheridan at about $500. The east side of the garage and the south side of the storage shed were damaged by flames. Lum- Der piled near the garage was de- stroyed, and some of the contents of the storage shed, mostly supplies, were burned
 Chief Sheridan said that sparks from an open-top incinerator in which material had been burning, and located on the Lagura property, caused the fire. A box alarm, 61, was pulled and at the same time a telephone call on the same fire was received. Two lines of hose were laid and the fire was under control in 20 minutes.
 Bremen prevented spread of tise flames to the nearby Hop Brook Grill and also to several buildings in that vicinity owned by the East ern Malleable Iron company.

BRITES FUNERAL
 HERE WEDNESDAY
Suicide Verdict Is Given
 By Medical Examiner

Naugatuck, July 27-The funeral of Mrs. Louise Brites, 3l, of 139 Andrew avenue, who was found hanging from small treee in the rear of her home Sunday morning, will be held Wednesday morning at 8:3O from the Buckmiller Funeral Home, 22 Park Place, to St. Francis Church, at o'clock, where high Mass of requiem will be celebrated. Burial will be in St. James ceme- tery.
 Mrs. Brites committed suicide, &C., cording to Dr. William E. Hill, medi- cal examiner. It was said that her body was found by her father-in- law about 8 o'clock Sunday morn ing. Dr. Hill said Mrs. Brites had tied a belt around her neck and attached it to the tree, which was not strong enough to hold the weight of her body and she appar- ently sufficated. Her husband had left for work at ' a. m. She had been in i'll health for some time. Several weeks ago Mrs. Brites and one of her three children were taken to St. Marys hospital, Wa terbury after being overcome when gas jets were turned on at the home. Two other children were re- vived by police and f1remen then.
 Yesterday Patrolman James Fen ton was sent by Sergt. Richard Ostrom to the home after phone call was received at the local police station. Dr. Hill was notified and after his investigation, expressed the belief that death had occurred a few minutes before Mrs. Brites was found.
 Mrs. Brites was born in Portugal and had lived here for the past eight years. She leaves besides her husband, William, two sons, Joseph and Anthony. and daughter Marie Elizabeth.
 Friends may call at the funeral home after 2 o'clock tonight.

water commission on July to make an analysis of the water then. It was said that dead fish had been noted in the brook and it was feared that acid deposits might have killed them.
 The state water commission was asked to take samples and this was done. AS yet the Fish and Game association has not received any re- port on the analysis although it re- ceived letter last week which said if evidence of pollution is found that the commission will take steps to have it taken care of.
 MT. Wadhams did not stay today whether or not final analysis had been taken, but it was assumed from what he said that present findings indicate that no dangerous condi- tion prevails in Long Meadow brook
 It was learned from officials or the local association that since the investigation was requested, one local man swimming in the New Dam, complained of eye trouble as a result of swimming there. A local doctor informed The Democrat that such a condition is not an uncom- mon result from bathing in various swimming places in the state.

HuQem, auxiliary policeman ana JO- seph Ferrera, also an auxiliary po- liceman testified they had at diff ferent spots on the north end of High street got into the middle of the road with hand upraised, to bring Nichols car to stop, but they had to step aside quickly, they said, when he failed to halt.
 Each said they blew whistles and as the car was passing less than two feet away, Pudem called Black out to Nichols. Each of the four men who testified said they wore arm bands, badges, and carried night sticks. John Bona said he motioned Pudem to stop but did not get in the center of the road. He said that although he was considerably fur ther from Pudem than was Nichols he heard Pudem's whistle, although Nichols said he heard no whistles. Robert Messrer, auxiliary policeman testified he signaled Nichols to stop, from the side of the road, waving his nightstick, and then Nichols drew up to the side of the road. Mesner said Nichols observed to him that no civilian defense officials had stopped him, although he came here from Waterbury. His manner was somewhat boastful, Messner said.
 Didn't Slow Down
 Nichols statement was somewhat contradictory. He said he saw two men step into the road at different intervals but did not slow down, and ne could not identify Pudem and Ferrera as the two men. He said he did not realize tha tthere was blackout here until he came to Messner, and denied he was boast ing when he said he had not been stopped previously.
 He said he had been stopped be- fore in Waterbury by parade mar shals wearing arm bands similar to the local civilian defense arm bands, and he implied he first thought the local men were parade marshals. Under crosse examination, he admit ted that the Waterbury incident did not occur the same night but some weeks previously. He claimed he had his radio on moderately and that he didn't hear Pudem yell at him. but the two policemen whom he passed within a few feet testified they heard no radio and Messner said he did not hear any radio when Nichols stopped.
 Prosecuting Attorney Thomas Neary pointed out civilian defense officials give service for the people here without charge and failure to cooperate with them is a serious matter Judge Caine in finding Nichols said that some claim the American people are complacent, but he believes that the people as a whole are aware of the dangers but few fresh ones" like Nichols do not realize them, he said. He said the only reason he suspended jail sentence was because Nichols, an employe of the Waterbury Tool Company, was working in a defense plant. Nichols interjected, "Yes, I am losing man hours now" and this remark almost caused the judge to revoke suspension of the jail sen- tence.
 John Rodov, 19. of 40 Lines Hill street was fined $5 and costs of S on a charge of driving without license, and also an additional $l0 on charge of failing to stop at the
