 Latest Traffic Threat
Autoists Finding Travelling DifacuIt-l042-43 Sea- x sou Rated as One of Severest in Many Years

The reputation of the 1942-43 win ter as the worst in yearst won fur ther confirmation today as an old- fashioned sleet storm hit the city, making pavements slippery and en- dangering pedestrian safety. The weather bureaus prkdiction of light rain tonight brought fears that lower temperatures might make the situation even worse than it was early this afternoon.
 The sleet began falling at 10 a. m. today, with occasional hurries of rain and snow. By noon, however, it had settled down into a steady fall of sleet that glazed windshields and roadways and that whipped into the faces of pedestrians.
 The temperature remained com paratively' mild, compared to those of the cold spells of the winter but still hovered below the freezing mark of 32 degrees.
 Street department crews were busy sanding hills and intersections, while workmen of the 0. R. & L. Lines were also trying to kep pace with the storm.
 Early afternoon reports indicated that many side streets. and many streets in residential sections were in dangerous conditions. Reports of cars piling up on grades of main state highways were also being re- ceived at press hour.

SIMONAS TO BE
 RETURNED HERE
Bench Warrant Issued for Local Youth Under Ar-
 rest in New Orleans

Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens of the detective bureau, and Thonl- as F. Laden, acting county detective, were in New Orleans today with a bench warrant for the arrest of Jos- eph Simonas, alias Joe Simon, age 18, of New Haven, wanted here for forging a check and collecting $1,.750 from the Citizens & Manufacturers National bank.
 The two detectives will return Simonas to this city at the end of the week, and the youth will be ar- raigned in superior court, before Judge Frank P. McEvoy. Simonas is also wanted in LaSalle, Ind, on charges of theft of an automobile and sum of money.
 An official at the Waterbury Saw ings bank recalled today that Sim onas went to the bank in December. 1941, and presented a note request ing all the cash belonging to Daniel Zodorody of 1T Ia Wood street. When the cashier was reluctant, Simonas offered the excuse that Zodorody was building a house and was unable to call in person for the cash. Finally, the bank turned over a check which could not be- cashed without Zodorody's signature.
 When Simonas returned shortly afterward with Zodorodys signature, bank officials refused to turn over the cash, so the youth tried his luck at the Citizens & Manufacturers bank where he obtained $l,750.

 Candidate at Present

Executive Secretary John P. Fitz- maurice would not accept appoint ment to the board of aldermen ill the event that Mayor John s. Mon- agan decides to remain in office, The Democrat learned today from high city hall sources. His name has been frequently mentioned in connection with the filling of the vacancy created by the advance ment of MT. Monagan to the may orally from the presidency of the board of aldermen on the death of Mayor Vincent A. Scully.
 Should MT. Monagan decide to resign, howel CT, it is believed that MT. Fitzmaurice would be can didate for the board appointment, since the new president of the board of aldermen would succeed Mayor Monagan.
 Friends and associates of Mayor Monagan differ as to their views of his intentions. Some are positive that, liking his brief taste of the mayoralty with its salary of $7,5OO year, he will remain in office Others are equally certain that, taking a long-range view. Mayor Monagan will prefer to take the post offered him on the staff of the Alien Property Custodian, which will last for many years after the war.
 Party leaders will be faced with a delicate situation If MT. Monagan decides to stay in office. Normally the incumbent mayor would be the nominee for another term. but MT. Monagan Is politically vulnerable bee cause Of his close association with J. Francis Smith. former Demo- cratic state chairman, who ls per- soma non grata with many ole-time Democrats.
 MT, FltKmauTice would also be . target for lnlra -party attacks. many 0f his critics claiming that he would get Q severe rebuff at the polls ir Mles normally strongest Democratic sectors.
