to wonder whether their comrades
have been drowned, blown TO bits

The Nays silence has a more
practical effect, too. Submarines are
assigned TO operate IN certain areas.
The enemy will not know when they
have been cleaned out, and. conse-

In municipal court this morning,
Judge John l.. Gaffney fined Maltz-
man $50 without costs after the ac-
cused pleaded nolo contendere, on
recommendation of Prosecutor At
torney Frederick w. Palomba.
Inspector Courtney and Meni-
chino said that when they visited
the South Main street market last
Saturday, they took specimen from
the meat counter and sent 1t to the
New Haven experiment laboratory
for an anlysis. A report from the
laboratory showed that the ground
beef contained sulphite, the inspec-
tor said.
A warrant was then made out by
Prosecutor Attorney Palomba for
the arrest of the Dollar Market
manager Of the meat market.
The meat taken out of the Dol
lar Market simulated rich blood
appearance which tended to give the
semblance Of being fresh and had
been artificially colored, the inspec-
tors said The warrant was served
by Motor Patrolman Joseph Lovallo
Inspectors Courtney and Meni-
chino said that they had the Dollar
Market under surveillance for some
time after 1t came to their attention
that the adulterated meat was sold
to customers They also said that
they will conduct an intensive in
vestigation Of other meat markets
in the city who are suspected of
using this method OF freshening up
meat with this chemical in order to
give 1t the semblance OF being fresh.
