MILLER FACING
 THEFT CHARGE
Accused Arrested in New YOrk's Chinatown Selling
 Alleged Stolen Watches

Edward Miller, 20, of 433 West Main street, former employe O. the Waterbury Clock Company, has been returned to this city to stand trial on the charge of stealing i50 watches valued at $500.
 Miller, was picked up on suspicion in New York City's Chinatown five days ago when a New York detec- tive found him peddling the watches on the street for $50 apiece.
 Miller told the police that he had bought the watches at 75 cents apiece from a man he had met Il, cafeteria here. However, the New York police notified Detective Lieut.. William F. Pollard, acting chief ir- spector of the Waterbury detective bureau, who assigned Detective Lieut.. Henry Johnson to the case.
 Yesterday Lieut.. Johnson left for New York and confronted Miller with the evidence against him-a fingerprint on the wall in the room in the clock company in which the watches had been stored. and the fact that the serial numbers or the watches in Miller's possession matched with those reported stolen
 Miller then confessed that he had come across the watches while work ing as an electrician for the plant and had stolen l50 of them.
 The brand of wrist watches, made before the war, are now almost unobtainable.

LAW ENFORCEMENT PROBLEMS COMING
Special FBI Agent Roger F. Gleason Addresses
 Police Officials

Declaring that the wars end may bring greater law enforcement prob lemS than ever before, Roger F. Gleason, agent III charge of the New Haven FBI, speaking at the FBI sponsored law enforcement confer ence last night, warned against "a cock-sure attitude that the war is nearly over, that we're secure from saboteurs, and that postwar police work won't be so difficult"
 MT. Gleason urged that we do not get complaisant from military vic tories, but instead make every ef- fort to sustain morale and make necessary Investigations.
 Turning to the postwar period MT. Gleason pointed out that ter million servicemen will be returning and an economic readjustment looms. In addition juvenile and racial problems are likely to occur.
 More than 250 police officials of all ranks from Waterbury and throughout western Connecticut at- tended the conference. For the first time at a state FBI conference, auxiliary police attended, for as Mi Gleason asserted, their importance in the war effort cannot be over- looked.
 Major J. Peter Costigan, chair man of the national defense con- mitte of Corp. Coyle post, American Legion, spoke on the Legion's part in supporting national security, and warned that carelessness in produc ton work is as bad as sabotage.
 Motion pictures were shown de, picting the Bismarck Sea battle and the bombing of enemy territory, in- cluding the raid on Tokyo.

l2 AUTO DEATHS
 SINCE JANUARY 1
City's Mishap Figures De- crease; Personal Injuries
 on Increase

Captain William Duggan today released the November traffic &C., cident report as compiled and pre- pared by Officers William c. Dwyer and James Little of the Accident Prevention Bureau. The report shows decrease of 22 per cent in total accidents but an increase of 19 per cent in personal injury &C., cidents in comparison with Novem- Der of 1942.
 Traffic deaths to date are one less than for the same eleven month period in 1942. Twelve mo- tor vehicle deaths have occurred this year in comparison to 13 last year.
 November's traffic death was the "hit-and-run" fatality which oc- cured on November 18th when Francis Lynch, II, was struck and fatally injured. To date the oper- ator of the skip car" has not been apprehended but the police are chasing down every possible lead given them.
 Superintendent Daniel J. Carson states: With personal injuries in traffic accidents continuing to rise this month as in the previous three months, we again appeal to Water burians to give cooperation to the police departments safety program. We have one of the most difficult months before us, December. Haz- ards increased by winter conditions will tend toward an increase in &C., cidents, but it is the aim of the Waterbury Police Department to prevent any further traffic deaths from taking place.
 We must have your cooperation to make December a month without traffic fatalities. December with its holidays is a month of good will and rejoicing, so let us com bine our efforts to make 1t such by having Waterbury free of traffic accident fatalities"
