 plaint Alleges

Claiming the death of Magdalena Yurksaitis of Waterbury was caused June by injuries sustained in a fall four months earlier at the junc- ton of a sidewalk and driveway on South Leonard street near Third street, Francis Yurksiatis, admin istrator of the estate, has filed Q $20,000 damage suit against the City of Waterbury and the Waterbury Paper Box Go.

 The plaintiff claims the injured woman suffered great pain from the fractured hip sustained, and that great expenses were incurred for medical treatment and care.

Sightless Citizens
 NowHear Stage Plays
New Venture Launched to Bring Theater to Blind People With Full Sound Effects, Incidental Music

purpose. The Talking Book, de- signed to bring the best in inkprint books within reach of blind people, consists of long-playing phono- graphic discs on which trained readers record the works of the chosen authors. The discs are played on an electric reading ma chine resembling e portable phono- graph.
 For several years the Library of Congress has been cooperating with the American Foundation for the Blind, and by using congressional appropriations, has met most of the cost of the majority of these re- corded works, and places them in 27 regional public libraries across the country which operate departments for the blind.
 Tn launching its new venture of bringing acted plays to the blind, the foundation found the Broadway theater eager to cooperate. A group of young players from contempor- ary successes formed the nucleus of @ repertory company to which guest stars from time to time come to contribute their services.
 Among those who work reaches the blind people of the country on the discs of the Taiking Book are Dame Sybil Thorndike, Eva LeGal- lienne, Mady Christians, Hilda Spong, Bert Lytell. Whitford Kane, Selena Royle, Wesley Addy, Brenda Forbes, Edith Taliaferro, Joseph Holland, House Jameson, Dorothy McGuire of Claudia" and Alfred Drake of oklahoma"
 To date no less than A plays have been acted onto the Talking Book discs solely for the use of the blind-an impressive list of classic and contemporary drama which in- cludes such plays as Elizabeth, the Queen, An Wilderness, Hedda Gab- Ter, King Richard II, Our Town, When Ladies Meet, The iSlver Box, The Rivals, and the Bat. The play ing time of all these productions corresponds with the time the blind listener would spend in an actual theater. The average modern play runs to four or five double-sided discs, or from two to two hours and half of playing time. The older plays, whicharegivenwithout give- plays, which are given without cut ting, run to almost double that number. Shakespeare's Anthony and Cleopatra" takes up seven double-sided discs, or three hours and half of playing time.
 Thanks to all that has been acc complished to date, the theater now comes in this way to the blind. It comes to them, moreover, free of all charge. The blind individual who wishes to enjoy what Broad- way has to offer without leaving his armchair has only to send @ list of the plays he wishes to hear to the public library nearest him, and one by one these plays reach him, each with its individual enchantment. These Talking Book plays even travel between library and reader postage free.

N1Y WNNNEM " ANN@l
 Relentless Allied attacks pounded Hitler's Europe from three sides to- day, sending German troops flouns dertng at their main Russian and Italian defense lines and adding Hanover to the list of ruined Reich cities.
 A summary of the Allied assaults in the past 2A hours showed:
 1. The British Eighth Army seized Foggia, greatest enemy air and transport base in southeast Italy, plunging forward % miles in single day while the American Fifth Army Slugged away at the Naz defenses below Naples.
 2. Russian troops drove the Ger mans in mass flight across tho Dneiper river, getting ready for at tempts to capture bridgeheads that would keep the Germans reeling back toward the Polish border.
 3. The Royal Air Force levelled new areas of Hanover In the second blockbuster attack in less better than 60 per cent of the city than a week and experts believed now was totally wrecked.
 In seco; diary, but important, de- velopment, the Germans claimed to have driven Jugoslavian patriot and Italian forces from the Dalmatian city of split and to have captured Corfu in an evident attempt to prevent an Allied landing up the Adriatic coast.
 As Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgom- ery's forces raced up to take the Foggia rail and highway hub, the Americans and British below Naples 30 miles westward edged forward through bitter Nazi resistance while U. s. warships worked up the coast to their aid.
 Reds Winning
 In Russia, the Red Army forced the Germans to give their east bank positions along the Dnieper with thunderous aerial attacks that killed thousands and spread out along 300 miles of shore preparatory to smash across the river.
 The Russian assault line ran along the east bank from threatened Kiev to Dnepropetrovsk.
 A powerful force of British bomb CTS dropped blockbusters on Han- mover last night in a renewal of the kind of raid in which the same city was hit with 200o tons of bombs in 30 minutes last Friday.
 At the same time, other bombers made diversionary raids on Bruns- wick and Emden. Thirty-eight bombers were lost but the RAP brought down seven enemy planes last night to bring their total so far this month to 135.
 Tn the Pacific war, Allied troops and planes increased pressure on Finschhafen today.
 An Allied column working up the Markham valley moved eight miles beyond Kiaipit in an advance that put them into position to clip off the Huon Peninsula. Finschhafen lies on the northeast edge of the peninsula.
 American Liberators hammered the Japanese rear bases up the New Guinea coast with 6l tons of bombs, concentrating on Hansa Bay and Wewak and shooting down or dam- aging nine enemy planes without loss.

NEWS OF CONNECTICUT

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 28-(UP)- John J. Graham, acting executive director of the State Employment Security Department warned today that Connecticut would be forced to pay jobless benefits to an estimated 300,000 if widespread unemployment developed after the war,
 Two-thirds of these beneficiaries, said Graham, would be out-of -state workers who came here to obtain war jobs. while the remaining 100,- 900 would be native workers and re- turning soldiers.
 '"The actual load" he said, twill depend not only upon the plans of the individual manufacturers with in the state, but also upon national and international economic develop ments we do not feel that any reliable predictions of postwar eco- homie conditions can be made at this time. For our purposes, 1t is assumed that employment will re- turn, with few exceptions, to the levels prevailing in September 1939."
 The unemployment compensation fund created to pay off benefits now totals SIS, 900, ,000 and is expected to reach $16o,0o0, 900 by March 1945.
