 FINED IN COURT
Created Disturbance in Vicinity of Hospital;
 Assessed $25, Costs

A fine of $25 and costs was levied against Charles Derovage, 26, of AS North Main street, booked last night at police headquarters on charges of drunkenness, breach of the peace, and resistance, following a disturbance in front of St. Mary's hospital.
 Patrolman John Carmody, on duty nightly at the hospital during visiting hours, testified before Judge Conway in municipal court that Derovage was boisterous and would not remain in line at the hospital. When he attempted to place him in line the officer said, Derovage tried to punch him.
 In imposing the fine, Judge Con- way pointed out that any disturb ance at the hospital is a most seri- ouS offense now, because of the im- portant public works which is be- ing done there. Derovage, native of Pennsylvania, is employed in a local defense plant, and is classified 4F, being the so:e support of aged parents.
 Disposition in other court cases this morning were as follows: Le- Grand Saunders, 49, of 251 Frost road, charged with intoxication and non-support, order to Brookside for 15 days; Allen Klein, 17, of 56 Knoll street, charged with reckless driv- ing and operating a motor vehicle while his license was under suspen- sion, was fined $1O0 and costs, sen- tence to be suspended if he enters army service within two weeks.
