LAW ENFORCEMENT
NEEDED LOCALLY
Observance OF DimOut
Regulation Becoming
Joke; Neon Signs Lit

Martin O'Rourke, chairman of the
War Councils blackout committee,
revealed yesterday that violations of
the wartime dimout regulations have
increased to such great extent,
that while he's travelling through
the city at night he wonders some
times whether Waterbury is dimmed
out or not.
With summer around the corner,
the condition Is bound to grow worse,
he added, because the hot, sultry
months of June, July, August and
part of September when people
won't like drawing their shades
three-quarters of the way down.
Frank ]. Green, secretary of the
council, said that If the public is
reminded of the penalties that are
as high as $500 and year in prison
for violations of these restrictions
1t may do the trick. The regula-
tons are effective today for Connec-
ticut, but Waterbury hasn't received
any copies of them, he said.
Supt. Daniel j. Carson again
promised Mr.. O'Rourke that the po-
lice department will continue to keeI
its eyes open for violations.
Mr.. O'Rourke also revealed thai
neon lights are being lighted in the
business center after the hour o!
dimout, according to the Army'S
regulations.

WOMAN HELD ON
Theft CHARGE
$5,770 in Cash Taken
From Safe in Bank st.
Residence

The case Of Sophie Radzewich, 46,
Of 1893 Bank street. charged with
theft of $5,77O which she allegedly
stole by ordering a safe door re-
moved in an apartment, was con-
tinued to May 10, in the municipal
court by Judge John Gaffney.
August Obernier made the COM
plant that the money was missing
from his apartment. Detective Lieut..
Joseph r. Bender arrested her soon
afterward and found $500 Of the
total amount, he said.
Lieut.. Bender said that the wom-
an admitted that she had the safe
door removed and then took the
$5,770. She has SO far refused to say
where the rest of the money is To-
Gated.
The cases of James Brown, 25, 33
Spark street and Frank Foy, 30, Of
Middlebury, both colored, were con-
tinued to May 10 in the municipal
court. The men were arrested yes
terday by Sergt. John Murphy and
Officer Vincent Begg of the motor
patrol after the latter reported they
had offered stiff resistance, one of
them assaulted him and both threat
ened him with weapons they hastily
picked up from the street.

OFFICIALS STUDY
PENSION SYSTEM
Uniformity in Providing
Security for Veteran En-
plOyes Object of Plan

The finance board will make a
careful study of proposals that have
been made to provide Waterbury
with pension system that will take
care of all municipal departments,
said Commissioner Edward P. Egan
at special meeting Of the board
yesterday.
He pointed out that Waterbury's
pension system is not what it is
supposed to be and that a sub-com-
mittee (of which he is a member)
is studying a retirement schedule
which will give the city complete
authorization to make pension
awards.
Mayor John S. Monagan said that
he is satisfied with what the COM
mittee is accomplishing, since it
conforms with plans he originally
had when he was given the mayor
ship in January. He praised the
committee for its efforts and in
formed them that they'll receive the
full cooperation of the city govern
ment in compiling their reports.
ANtA. Ge1 GA AlINlcl1 INt JllciO
ton of the Subcommittee recon-
mendations will take a great deal of
time because the problem necessi-
tates an investigation from all
angles. I'VE are desirious of formu-
lating and seeing adopted a pension
system that will be acceptable and
agreeable to city employees and the
taxpayers who have to finance a
good part of it," said Mr.. Egan.
The present charter provisions
covering pensions for employees of
the fire department and bureau of
streets and water are considered by
Commissioner Egan as pretty good.
The provisions state that an en-
