Wilson Well-Balanced Team.
Wilson'S big line tore Central's
apart and the Vikings never were
able to get going, as the Tigers ex-
hibited balanced Combination of
ground and air attack plus a tight
defense that completely outclassed
last years champions. Pierce God
freys punting had lot to do with
keeping Central against its goal
while the Viking players still were
strong and fresh early in the game,
and after the Wilson line worked
on them awhile they were in no
shape to make a threat.
Three times in the first period
Godfrey punted Central back inside
It's 20, and to start the second pc
rlod he made a 10-yard runback of
Viking boot to put the ball on
Centrals 25 Bill Haycock passed
to Rusty Keith to reach the 5 and
Bob Henry bucked through the line
to score. Right after the kickoff
Central was pushed back inside
its 10, and Ed Crandall was tackled
behind the goal for a safety to give
Wilson an 80 halftime edge.
The third quarter was scoreless,
although Wilson moved into dan
gerous ground when Keith ran back
so yards with an intercepted pass
to the Central 30. Tom Sweeney of
Central inserted pass interception
here to end this bid
After that the Tigers rolled along.
A holding penalty gave Wilson q
first down on the Central 10 early in
the final period. and Henry pushed
through the line for his second
touchdown. Another score. fanciest
OF the day, was on Stu Browns AZ
yard dash through the Central team.
Although he passed five or six play
ers he was untouched. as perfect
blocking cleared a wide swath for
him down the middle. The final
score was on 38-yard pass from
Chuck Behrens to Dick Quinn.
Wilson's last two touchdowns prac-
tically were gifts, as the Vikings
elected to try desperate plays on
fourth down in midfeld instead of
kicking, and when these plays failed
it left Wilson in scoring position

SECOND CONTEMPT
 MOTION ON FILE
Court to Decide Whether Jail Sentence Cancels
 Previous Ruling

Does jail sentence imposed for noncompliance free the prisoner from obligations of a court sup port order? The question was raised in superior court today and taken under advisement by Judge John A. Cornell who stated, how ever, that in the past the court has always ruled that a penalty does not revoke the original order.
 The matter was brought out in hearing of second contempt mo- tion presented by Mrs. Anna Peli- gro, 8 divorcee, against her former husband, Salvatore Peligro, both residents of Naugatuck.
 Attorney George Crocicchia, counsel for the woman, pointed out that her ex-husband owed her $1,- 270 when he was sent to jail last April 1, and that the debt since he was freed amounts to $204. He said his client today refused to accept $204 in settlement on the ground that the other large sum was still owed.
 The defense asked the court if MT. Peligro could be sent to jail again for non-payment of the first sum and Judge Cornell commented there would be no double jeopardy involved in that the non-compli- ance still continues. He smilingly commented that in a similar case in Bridgeport recently a man went to Jail twice and finally paid up.
 No supreme court decision has made in Connecticut regarding such situation but that ruling in favor of the plaintiff have been made in several such instances in other states, it was pointed out. The case was continued for one week, and the jurist indicated he would study previous superior court decisions to determine the proper legal procedure.

Lang, loco- motive engineer and employ of the New Haven Railroad, as winner of the Safety Ace" award for the week of November 29, has just been announced by the National Safety Council. Above, left, Carroll E. Medley, Director of the Eastern Re- zion of the National Safety Coun- cil, formally makes the citation and presents the accompanying $100 War Bond to Engineer Lang. Three commendations for preventing maj or accidents, plus a 40-year per- sonal safe record with the New Ha- ven Railroad, were, the factors that led to MT. Lang's selection. En- gineer Lang's first commendation came in July, 1917, for the excel lent judgment he displayed at Fer " Street, Fall River, Mass. in protecting troops against railroad movements when the train on which they were riding was held up by an accident. In July, 1923, he was cited for observing a defect on an approaching locomotive and stop ping the engine in time to avert a possible derailment. In July, 1886,

Local Priest Popular
 In Japs' Prison Camp
Rev. William K. Mccarthy Sustaining Morale of Fel= low lnternees Reports Recent Philippine Repatriae

Details as to the actual where abouts and welfare of Rev. William R. Mccarthy, local priest of the Maryknoll order, have been revealed to his family by means of a per sonal contact with a recent repatri- ate from the Philippines who ar rived on the liner Gripsholm.
 Henry J. Mccarthy, brother of the local priest told The Democrat to- day that he has received detailed report concerning the priest from a c. F. Cress, Far Eastern sales manager of the Chrysler Corpora ton, who just returned to this country after 21 months in Jap- anese interment camps in the Philippines.
 Father Mccarthy, the repatriate relates, is in good health and Is now interned at Los Banos internment camp about 50 miles outside of Manila. The priest was transferred there last May after IT months in San Tomas camp in Manila proper, the site of the famous Philippine Catholic University.
 Camp Official
 Father Mccarthy is one of the internee officials of the camp, MT. Cress relates, which is self governed and is headed by an American as- sociate of the National City Bank of New York. The locaP priest holds daily religious instruction classes and speaks nightly oyer the camp loud speaker to all fellow internees as an aid to morale.
 Considered one of the most popu- lar men in the camp the local priest was described as being one of the most influential in maintaining the general morale of all confined.
 The camp is heavily guarded and is surrounded by double barbed wired fence, relatives of the priest were told, and conditions there, while primitive are sanitary and relatively liveable. Most of the food is grown by the internees and the

average daily meal made up of beans, cornmeal mush, vegetables, tropical fruit, and occasional meat is sufficient to sustain reasonable good health.
 Wheat, bread, potatoes are non- existent at the camp, while vege- tables and tropical fruits are plen- tiful.
 No stories of atrocities or horrors perpetrated by the Japs are related by the recent repatriate, and on the contrary he informed the family of the local priest that the Japanese personnel seldom enter within the camp proper.
 Father Mccarthy, as reported here, has never been officially ac- counted for since just after Pearl Harbor although unofficial word has been received by members of his family that he was interned in the Philippines at Cebu City. Another recent repatriate on the Gripsholm speaking from its first port of ar rival at South America spoke of Father Mccarthy having been in a camp at San Tomas, but nothing further was revealed. Although his family are in receipt of an address purported to relate to the priests location, it is not believed that letters have been getting through to him.
 Foreigners Rounded Up Manila was bombed by the Japs from December 8, 1941 to January 2, 1942, MT. Cress related, after which the enemy invaded the city and rounded up all foreigners" for internment. It was then that they were confined to the San Tomas 4,000 men, women and children were confined to four buildings. Re- maining there until last May at which time about 800 were trans ferred to Los Banos this was the last camp the repatriate was con- fined to before coming home.
 Since arrival in this country this latter person, it was stated today, has devoted his time to the writing of 119 letters to next of kin of in- ternees as well as to personal con- tacts.
 Members of Father McCarthy's immediate family are, Miss Esther Mccarthy of Johnson street, and John E. Mccarthy of Thomson street and John E. Mccarthy of
 street, both of Waterbury; Mrs Dennis Sullivan of Marion, Conn.,; and Henry J. Mccarthy of White Plains N. Y, formerly of Waterbury It was the latter who had the per- sonal interview with the recently returned repatriate from the Philip pines.

The new developments posed sev- eral novel technical considerations In that only one bid had been made at the first hearing and the decision was already pending. Likewise the original bid was not totally in cash but today the first bidder changed the terms to cash.
 Judge Cornell smilingl,- com- mented that an offer of $14,000 would relieve the court considerably. He said he would continue the case one Tcek to see if ottier bids n?ay not bt made.
 Attorney Frank Summa, who represented the second bidder at to- days hearing pointed out that the first prospective purchaser is for mer employe of the bank and should have known the value of the property when submitting his first bid. He claimed the raise in the offer she culd not be accepted.
 Attorney Michael Ciano, who ap- peared for the first bidder, stated the offer could have been in cash from the start but broker had ad- vised taking of mortgage from the bank rather than a private individ- ual.
 Speaking of the attitude of the bank receiver. Assistant Attorney General Robert Bowling stated the equity of the contending bidders is the same but that the receiver al- ways felt a first bidder should be given first consideration in that he is responsible for starting the sale negotiations. The court asked him If he thought the present offer is the highest he would get and the bank representative commented it was the highest ever made for the particular premises.
 Judge Cornell indicated that if further developments do not arise by next week he will base his de- rislon on the information submitted G today's hearing.
 The premises were acquired by he bank in 1883 by foreclosure involving a $16,000 debt. The banks motion states the property Is as- sessed at $29,500 but the value was set at $15,OO0 in g 1940 appraisal. The bank points out the 50-year-old building is in need of extensive re- pair work. Twelve apartments and ,wo stores comprise the rental.

No Suffering


 An investigation of five homes here reported without coal supplies showed no cases of suffering since the homes have other forms of heat, Harold w. Brown, said today.
 The investigation was conducted by MT. Brown at the request of State Fuel Adm. Seth Darley. MT. Darley submitted a list of 31 homes without coal here at one time and a check of these by MT. Brown mar rowed the total down to five.
 Thursday afternoon he visited these five. In two he found resi- dents had some coal, and others ei- ther had oil burners or wood sup plies, MT. Brown said "None was uncomfortable at present" he added. It was indicated those without coal would get syne later, probably before severely cold weather starts.
