BORCNAES PROVES
 MODEL PRISONER
Principal in Fugitive Case to Have Term in Jail
 Reduced

Termed a model prisoner by off, cialS at New Haven county jail, Enoch Borgnaes, former accountant who was sentenced 10 a year in jail last November for his part in the city conspiracy, may be released Sept IT if he continues on good be- havior, it has been disclosed. Borg naes was arraigned in the local su- perior court more than four years after he received his first summons and a wide search for him was started.
 Although the former accountant was the last of the original men charged with conspiracy to be sen tenced, the grand jury in the case has not yet been dismissed and no indication has been by former States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, ST. or his successor as to what dis position will be made. Some observ- CTS have expressed the belief the case will remain open until the capture of fugitive ex-Controller Daniel J. Leary.

Thomas Kavanaugh Is the acting commissioner of Police of Boston; the chief of the Fire Department Of Waterbury also bears the name of Thomas Cavanaugh. The Boston commissioner uses A K whereas our good Chief spells his name with 6 c.
 Bostons police commissioner is about 10 appoint various police wo- men to office. They will tour the city al night in an effort to stop the loud noise and drinking habits Of some of the young women Of the town.
 The Commissioner would like to name women with social service background, but thinks they can not be obtained at Q rate of pay Of $500 per annum. He added that as far as the police were concerned, their duty was to enforce the law and not theorize about 1t. Discipline is what is needed, he said
 Our big problem isn't 70 much the IS and l6-year-olds,' he de- clared, but the IS and le-year- old girls who hang around bars and get drunk with soldiers and sailors. They are also the girls who are still roam- ing around the streets at and 2 in the morning. It will be the job of the new policewomen to bring them in."
 Commissioner Kavanaugh said that the new women "cops" would trabel unarmed, but in pairs. They can call on regular policemen If they run into trouble, he added.
 They will wear uniforms of navy blue, similar to what the WAVES

 There i8 some talk here that the police commissioners of Waterbury are considering the question of nam ing police women to office. There was talk of that as far baea as Pros hibition days, but none were ever named, Of course Waterbury has no drinking women, we think, and perhaps for that reason there is no need Of police women.
 But Just the same, 1t would not surprise us in the least If the board did appoint a few to the service. Some one has said the commission CTS lack such power, but the Board of Aldermen could grant such pro- cedure to the board, If 1t so desired,

Mussolini Blamed
 For Italy's Plight
Free Milan" Appeals to People to Fight Side By Side
 With Allies in Ousting Premier

abdication report seemed to be "a phoney.')
 Radio Morocco broadcast reports that:
 1. The king had abdicsted and that the Italian cabinet had offered its resignation to Premier Benito Mussolini, who refused 1t.
 2. Count Dino Grandi, former Italian ambassador to London, and Marshal Pietro Badoglio, noted for his anti-Fascist tendencies, would preside over the military council as result of differences within the kings privy council. Both in their capacity as cousins of the king, were said to have attended the meeting.
 3. Prince Humbert would suc- ceed to the throne and that Hum- bert recently had quarreled with his father and with Mussolini.
 4. Archbishop Francis J. Spell- man of New York, at present in Turkey.
 A dispatch from Bern, Switzer- land, said the abdication rumors had been heard for three days but that Swiss sources in telephone contact with Italy scoffered at them, say- ing that there would be little point in the king stepping down at a time when Mussolinl would more likely be blamed for Italian re- verses.
 There also were radio and press reports that opposition to Mussolini was increasing steadily.
 The London Daily Telegraph pointed out that a declaration by Italian Minister of Corporations Cianetti, reported by the Rome radio, suggested that Mussolini's prestige was waning. Cianetti was quoted as saying that the Italians were rallying around the royal house.
 (Mayor P. H. La Guardia of New York predicted in his regular Sun day broadcast that Mussolini soon would be forced to leave Italy and that the Italian people would "re- establish government of their own.")
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-17

Rumors said that the king had been replaced by his son, Prince Humbert, in an Italian internal crisis arising from the defeat in Africa and the danger of invasion.
 The broadcast urged Italians to arm themselves "in order to help the Allies in their task" The an- nouncer blamed Mussolini for 1taly's plight,
 There is only one way out-im- mediate peace with the Allies he said. "MuSsolini and his gang have plunged our country in utter misery. The people must not regard the en- emy as the enemy of Italy but the enemy of our own enemy--Mus- solini and his gangsters."
 The announcer said that discon- tent was deep rooted" in Italy and extended to the country's armed forces.
 The enemy Is powerful but VIC can prove to him our true belief in justice If we lend him a helping hand the day he appears on our shores and that day is approaching" he declared.
 Entirely unconArmed reports that Victor Emmanuel had stepped down from his throne after frequently turbulent reign of almost 43 years apparently originated in neutral Switzerland and were aired by the radio stations in Morocco, Algiers and Dakar.
 Diplomatic quarters in both Lon don and Washington doubted that the Italian monarch had abdicated. Italian circles in Stockholm and elsewhere likewise ridiculed the rumorB.
