PROSPECT DRIVER
 ARRAICNED HERE
Evidence in Alleged Tipsy Driving Case Partly
 Heard Today

Thomas Mcclure. 45, of Terry road, Prospect, was given two weeks continuance today in order that his wife and Patrolman John Moore would be in court to testify when he is arraigned in municipal court before Judge John L. Calf ney on the charge of operating an automobile while under the in- fluence of liquor.
 McGuire's case was partly heard this morning before Judge Gaffney who ordered the participants to proceed with the teS imony of the witnesses who were available and that at a later date he would hear the remainder of the testimony.
 McGuire was arrested Dec. 20 after an acident on South Main and East Liberty street by Motor Patrolman Matthew Guarini after the accused's car collided with one driven by Edmund J. Landinskas, 26. of 229 Alder street.
 Motor Patrolman Guarini said McGuire's car was operating south on South Main, street while the car operated by Landinskas was travelling west on East Liberty street, the latter having the green light ill his favor, when the crash occurred.
 Joseph J. Laudinskas of A Cot tage Place, a brother of Edmund who was driving the car, was the first witness to testify in the trial. He said that after the first shock of the two cars colliding wore off, he went to McGuire's automobile.
 He said that when McGuire got out of the car, he noticed that the man was "wobbly to say the least"
 Defense Attorney John r. Tobin at this point seized or this explan- ation of the accused condition and asked for a clarified ton.
 Charles Hine, 34, of 1778 East Main street, was given a two weeks continuance when arraigned on charge of drunkenness and breach of the peace.
 The accused who entered q plea Of nolo contendere told the court that he was to leave the city for Pearl Harbor where he had &C., cepied work in the area which was t/lbed by Japanese.
 Judge Gaffney deferred his case for two weeks in order that the ac- cused could serve his country by his work there.
 When the case comes up before court on Jan. p, and if Hine has left for Pearl Harbor, it will probably be nolled.

'FARREN ENDORSES
 ATTORNEY TALBOT
Urges Ex=Servicemen to Vote for Republican Con=
 gressiOnal Nominee

Naugatuck, January 8. = James Farren, one of the leaders of the leaders of the local Talbot-For- Congress Club, today issued the following endorsement of Attorney Joseph E. Talbott.
 MT. Farren's statement is: To the Voters Or the Borough
 of Nangatuck:
 I believe every citizen of the Bor- ough of Naugatuck Should support Joe 100 per cent. I believe it is time for someone from this town was given tse chance to be something in our National Government Joe is a very capable fellow and I am sure that if allowed to, that he will go a great ways in our national affairs.
 Being a person who participated in the last World War, I am well aware of the fact of what it means to have a man of Joe's type in Congress, one whom any man in the service, whether he be a Democrat or a Re- publican or whatever his political belief may approach, and receive a fair deal. I believe every Veteran of the last World War and this World War should do all he can to see that Joe is elected.
 During this war a great many men will lose their lives, a great many will be disabled and we have every reaso-l to expect that the same condition will confront them as what cor fronted the men of the last World War in seeking consideration from our government. hope that every body of the borough will do all they can to see that Joe is placed in Con- gress.
 This is not meant as Republican or a Democratic communication, it is just meant to see that man who we are sure will be credit to the people of Naugatuck and the Fifth Congressional District is placed in a position where he can do some thing.
 Respectfully,
 James Farren.

MUNICIPAL PIER
 IN N. Y. BURNED
Pier 83 on Hudson River Was Burned Down to
 Waters Edge

New York, Jan. 8. - (UP)-Fire burned municipally Pier 83 on the Hudson river to the waters edge today. and damaged the 7,516- ton freighter Lancaster.
 Federal Bureau of Investigation agents were seeking evidence of sa- botage.
 It took firemen, using almost every piece of land equipment in Manhattan borough and three fire boats, two and half hours in the bitter cold to bring the flames un- der control.
 A high wind threatened for while to sweep them to adjoining piers.
 The pier and it's contents, authori- ties said, were total loss."
 The Lancaster was unloading a cargo of copra (dried cocoanut meat) It caught fire, but tugs showed it into the middle of the river and the flames were extin- guished with slight damage.
 Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia sped to the pier after the fourth alarm to direct firemen. His right cheek was frost-bitten. the fire department surgeon treated him and he soon left for home.
 Four firemen were treated for burns and smoke inhalation.
 It was the third disastrous water front ire in recent months. Last Aug. 18, the New York and Cuba mail line freighter Panuco burned at Its pier on East River in Brooklyn

the British expedition to Norway and the Japanese attack on Malaya, and said that whereas in Norway the British were unable to make good the ground they gained, large ly because the Germans had air superiority and commanded the available railroads, converse condi- tions were applied when the Jap aneSe invaded Malaya.
 Airdr0me Taken Easily
 Yet a valuable airdrome seemed to be taken from us quite easily he said. We had possession of the only railroad line which could be used by teh invaders. Yet nothing effective in the way of resistance seemed to have been attempted.
 The Japanese are now in occu- patton to large extent of the most important tin and rubber areas of the peninsula"
 He said he hoped the government would inquire who was responsible for the management of the defenses of Penang Island, off the west coast of Malaga, where, he suggested, a large amount of valuable stores and even shipping were left behind un- damaged.
 Tt is difficult to parallel this series of misfortunes," he said.
 He recalled that Brooke -Popham was quoted as having said more than a year ago that any idea Hong Kong could be captured in a few days or weeks was erroneous.
 Four months ago this commander stated that in the Far East we are fully prepared come what may
 The same day Japan struck at the United States fleet at Hawaii he is reported to have said that we had had plenty of warning and that our preparations had been made and tested.
 T hope the government will in- quire how 1t came about that this officer in responsible position could make statements so grievous- ly out of accord with the actual fact"
 It was then he said that "S1y only comfort" was that "a nincompoop of that kind" bad been removed.

Y U R Income Tax
...". No. 4 .M....... HOW TO AVOID COMMON
 ERRORS

TWenty-two million person firms, and corporations, 1t is esti- mated, will probably file income tax returns this year. These re- firms, and corporations, 1t is esti- January l. Every return for the calendar year 194l must be in by midnight of March 16. In order to handle the enormous volume of work alone entailed of receiving these returns, the Bureau of Inter- nal Revenue has greatly increased it's staff in its several district of- fees. The experience of former years shows that the bureau is al- ways swamped with late returns. If taxpayers will file their returns early, they will find that this will be mutually beneficial to them and to the government.
 A large number of these returns contain errors which, if not cor rected by the audit, would result to the disadvantage of the tax payer. Many persons pay in more than the amount of the tax due; others fail to take advantage of the personal exemption, the credit allowed for dependents, or deduc- tions from gross income to which they are entitled.
 In making out your income tax return, read carefully and study the instructions that accompany the forms on which the tax is computed. If you need more infor- nation, it may be obtained at the office of the collector of internal revenue, deputy collector, or an tn- ternal-revenue agent in charge. When you visit an internal-revenue office to get assis~ance in making out your return, take a copy of your 1940 return with you.

MINE PLANTER IS
 GONE TO BOTTOM
Eight Civilians Went Down With Boat; Only Master
 of Ship Saved

Portsmouth, N. H., Jan. 8-(UP)-- Eight civilians were reported to have perished and only the master was rescued when the junior mine plant CT Arnold sank suddenly in gale early today while being lowed to Portsmouth.
 The army, in disclosing the trag- edy, said that the mine planter Baird, which had the Arnold and another disabled mine planter in tow, would arrive here late this afternoon with the lone survivor, Captain William H. Chasteen of Waterford, Conn.
 The Arnold, a 98-foot craft, went down in heavy seas and a snow storm about 50 miles off Fort Consti- tuition, which guards the entrance to Portsmouth harbor.
 Yesterday noon the Arnold left the fort to go to the aid of an L. boat. a small army mine planter which had become disabled in heavy seas enroute from Boston to Ports mouth.
 The Arnold contacted the L-boat, but while towing it to port, the Ar hold also became disabled and sent out an S O s.
 The Baird, a 150-foot mine plant CT, sped to the scene and took both vessels in tow, with the Arnold di- rectly astern and the L-boat in the rear.
 At 1850 a. m. today the Arnold foundered so suddenly that an army spokesman said it seemed almost as though "the bottom dropped out"
 He said that the L-boat was all most drawn under by the towline attached to the Arnold
 Names of the victims, the spokes- man said, would not be available until the Baird arrived here. He said the Baird was making slow progress because she was forced to stop periodically to pump out the leaking L-boat.
 All the vessels involved are at tached to the coast artillery.
