Worked at Night

Relentlessly the police of
Paris traced DR.. Petiot's pat
tern of life. Every evening. they
said, he left his wife and son
in the apartment on the Rue
Caumartin and bicycled away
into the dusk.
But the reception room in No.
81 had nothing to do with
dalliance. even though it was
lined with mirrors and brilliant

Another Bluebeard

That was the story rushed to
the world by the Vichy and Ger
man radios in enthusiastic col
liberation with DNB, the Of
fetal German news agency.
Here, the radio blared, was
the greatest mass murderer since
Bluebeard Landru went to The

Saw Death Struggle

Into an adjoining room sped
DR.. Marcel Petiot, and there,
through a periscope with an
enlarged lens, he watched the
victim writhe in torture. For
how long no one knows, but all
expert inflicters of pain pride
themselves on not letting their
prisoners die too quickly.
The Vichy radio told in cory
detail how DR.. Petiot carried on
his study of human agony un-
til the last convulsion was over,
and then dissected the twisted
corpse. One more woman lost
to the haunts of Partisan vice,
lost again in the quiet streets

Doctor Disappears

Thirty pairs of shoes were
discovered in a closet, and after
a check of the labels in a huge
pile of clothing, the gendarmes
believed that the killer had
committed his crimes in the two
years since he rented the villa.
A few days later they apollo
getically revealed that there
had been some overlapping of
limbs. which somewhat reduced
the total of those destroyed. AS
for DR.. Petiot. he had diSap-
peared from his apartment at
IS Rue Caumartin, Ia miles
away in the heart of Paris,
where he lived with his wife and
son. and also maintained an
office.

SoiIorSIoin Hn Boston

Boston, Feb. 9-(UP)-A verdict of murder has been returned by a medical-eXaminer in connection with the fatal slugging of Carpen- ter's Mate 3-C John Calvin Cruth- CTS. 20, of (12o5 Washington avenue) Bronx, N. r., son of church sexton, whose body was found on North End street early yesterday.
 Medical Examiner Willia m J.. Bricsley said last night that an autopsy revealed that the sailor had been definitely murdered" and that his body had been carried from the scene of the crime to the place where it was found. There was no apparent motive.
 Dr. Brickley said that Cruthers, who was stationed at the Fargo barracks in South Boston, apparent ly had been slugged at least once from behind. Bruises also were found on the youths face and skull.
 Meanwhile, navy board of in quiry joined police in their investi- gation of the staying.
 In his Bronx home, George Cruth- CTS, the boys father, was stunned by the news. T can't believe it." he said brokenly. Why, I got a letter from John yesterday telling me to stand by, that he would call me sometime this week.

Moscow, Feb. 9-(UP)-The anni- hilation of the German bridgehead across the Dnieper river from Niko- pol will rank as one of the bloodiest massacres in history, Soviet military accounts said today.
 Thousands of German corpses choked the ravines, roads and streets when Gen. Fedor Tolbuhkin ordered his gunners to cease fire and grounded his low-level attack planes.
 The approaches to the banks of the Dnieper were filtered with the bodies of Germans who had reached the area only to be slaughtered by assault planes and artillery fire.
 Clusters of bodies hoated down the Dnieper like a log jam broken by dynamite. These were the Ger mans who reached the river ahead of their comrades, but perished url- der machine gun fire which sank their barges and rafts.
 Front dispatches said that when LIle SCVCI1 ScIlldll uAVAoAOllo III oAA| bridgehead realized Tolbukhin'S forces had broken through, they fled in wild confusion, every man for himself, with the despairing hope of crossing the Dnieper-ignorant that their comrades beyond the stream were being wiped out by other Soviet forces.
 Into the mad, scrambling mass of panicky Germans, the Soviet ar tillery poured masses of hot steel. Essault planes sprayed the swirling mass with machine gun fire like hedge-hoppers spraying a Texas cotton field

JUDGE MAY SAVE.
 FOR ARMY.
Directs Police to Probe Charges; Extenuating
 Circumstances Sought

Charges of breaking and entry against Louis Wood, 26, 507 North Main street were continued one day after he entered plea of guilty in city court this morning.
 Judge T. E. Conway ordered the continuance for further investiga- tion after being informed that the accused had IA draft status and did not have police record of any consequence.
 If there are any mitigating cir cumstances in this case" Judge Conway said, it seems to me it would best serve society if this man were allowed to enter the army, which would be impossible if the case is bound over to superior court
 Wood was arrested last night by Detective Sergeant Joseph Petit and Detective George Flavin after
 a woman occupant of a Center street apartment complained that he had entered her apartment Sum- day and taken ring valued at S49 and $10 in cash from a household bank.
 Detective Flavin said Wood ad- mitted entering her apartment by removing a pane of glass from the door. He said Wood had come to get some clothes he had left in the apartment and had become angry when he found no one home.
 Wood claimed the woman owed him some money, and said he had had some other difficulties with her.

COMPENSATION !. SITE CHANGED
Office to Be Moved From Courthouse to Leayn-
 worth St. Tomorrow

Headquarters of the worlman's Compensation office of the Fifth Congressional district win be moved tomorrow from. the county court house building on Kendrick avenue to the First Federal Savings and Loan Association building on Leav- enworth street, with the, present quarters to be occupied starting Friday by 8 new naturalization div- iSion of superior court.
 With removal of the compenSa- ton office from the courthouse, the building will be used exclusively for business of the state judicial de- partment. The compensation work stemmed from the executive branch of the state government.
 The naturalization office will be a branch of the superior court clerks office located on the second floor of the building. All citizen ship files will be transferred to the new office and applications will be received and all other business per- taining to naturalization work will be conducted there instead of at the main superior court headquarters.
 Renovation work has been start ed, in several rooms of the court house and will cover the states attorneys office, the new natural ization quarters, the third floor courtroom, the third floor judges chambers and a waiting room, it was reported by Ira w. Stevens, superintendent of the building. Painting of the state prosecutors office was started this week and the remainder of the renovation work is expected to be conducted over a period of many weeks.
 Functioning of the compensation office will be conducted tomorrow despite the moving task, with per- sonnel to be stationed during the day both at the courthouse rooms and at the new quarters.

Veto Of ox
 Bill Asked

Washington, Feb. 9.-(UP)-De- mands for a presidential veto of the newly-passed $2,315, 10000 tax bill mounted today while Republican members of the house ways and means committee sought committee endorsement of their own plan to simplify income tax returns.
 The 10 minority members agreed unanimously to wait no longer for tax Simpli1cation recommendations from either the Treasury or from congressional tax experts. Instead, they asked the full committee to approve measure already intro duced by Rep. Frank Carlson, R., KanS.
 Carlson's plan-which wouldn't prevent this years tax headaches but would provide relief by next year-consists of these principal points:
 l. Combine income and victory taxes so that "only one tax on incomes would be imposed, with a single base and a single set of rates and exemptions"
 2. Persons whose income tax is substantially paid at the source through withholding deductions would be excused from filing returns unless they wanted to. This would benefit an estimated 3O,000,00 per- sons.
 3. The use of the so-called short form would be permitted up to S, ,OOO gross income, instead of 5000 as at present. Both long and short forms would be sinplified.
 4. Taxpayers would be given un- til January 15 after the close of the taxable year to file amended declarations of current tax liabil- ity, thus eliminating all guesswork." !"

Yonks Kind To Jap CaDtiveS

With the Seventh Division at Fawajalein, February 4 - (U. PD = En route to Kwajalein, members of the Seventh Infantry division heard the news of the tor ture and mistreatment of the American heroes of Bataan by the Japanese. The story enraged them and produced ominous predictions of the fate of any Japanese cap tured at Kwajalein.
 But today, found that Amer acan soldiers, while magnificent and relentless fighters, do not have the Inmate cruelty necessary to pay back the Japanese in their own style.
 I trailed a group of 30 prisoners from within few minutes of their capture. until they were delivered aboard a transport, and the worst thing that happened to them was to be called names in a language they did not understand.
 The prisoners were brought in by a group of privates who dug them out of tunnel. Private Raymond O. Ledford told me one appeared with a white flag after lombard ment by tanks. and the others fol- lowed when the first was not harm ed.
 Ledford searched the prisoners to make sure they were not con- cealing grenades. Then they were herded to the rear.
 An interpreter learned that the prisoners had not eaten for four days, and the battle-hardened troops opened up their own K ra- tions and gave them biscuits and water.
 A half dozen wounded Japanese were hurried to aid stations, where they got plasma, bandages and the same hre an American would re- eetve.
 The rest were placed in Higgins boat and taken to another island lo he outhtted in blue prisoner ot eaar uniforms better # more ietlos

tune amount or SOI1l6 D1A,UUU.
 The original federal grant to the city as directed by the Lanham .Act called for a contribution of $8,- ES97 for operation of its child care facilities from April l to Dec. 31, ,1e43 but which now has been in- Icreased to $39,594 to carry these puhlic war service projects through Dec. S1, 1944. The latter figure as lreleaSed today by the regional di- rector is $13,000 more than the amount stated to the city on Feb. 5.
 Further confusion has resulted from the wide disparagement re- Nealed between figures released for publication relative to total cooper 'ational costs and similar figures previously drawn up by the cliJ land approved by the federal author dies. The city authorities were mo- stified in the contract submitted by the EVA as of Feb. that the share of the federal grant was computed on a basis of an overall total oper- ation budget for Waterbury for the aforementioned period of $52,964. However, at the time the city pre- pared it's 1944 budget it set up a to- tal estimated appropriation of $65,- l704, which met with federal ap- ,rroval. However, in the press re- Iease the total estimated costs are set-up at $62,S44.
 The contract as received by the ~s4-, ~,a U7ek nolliT1n for. tho fnd- eral grant is to be submitted by the Mayor to the board of aldermen at their next meeting for approval and adoption thus authorizing the May or to execute all necessary forms. lit is expected now that local au- thorities will contact the regional director in an attempt to straight en out the resultant confusion.
 According to a report submitted by Miss Marion Hunt chairman of the local child-care committee at the latter's monthly meeting held yesterday the taxpayers of Water bury have had to pay-out $l,47.3 ill operational costs for the Kings sbury Child Care center during the five month period ending Dec. 31, f1943.
 An appropriation of $12,514 was set up by the city controllers of- flee as a maximum budget for oper- a,ion of the center from July 1, 1S43 to Jan. 1. 1944. Total expend- itures from August to the close of ! the year amounted to $8,756.47, it was reported.
 Receipts for operation of the cen- , ter totaled $7,289.12 of which the federal government contributed $4,- 9f4.72 and fees collected from par ents amounted to $2,374.40, leaving the remaining cost of $1 .467.35 to be borne by the city taxpayers, Miss Hunt explained.
 The total of $8,756.47 included an iritial investment in equipment and supplies amounting to $2,318.15 with an actual operating cost of $6,43832.
 A total of 57 children have receiv- ed care under the local program Miss Hunt revealed which iS far be- low the capacity abilities of the cen- ter. Despite a reduction in daily fees from $1 to $50 which went into effect Feb. 1 there has been little increase in enrolment.
 The Kingsbury center is but one of three which originally were planned for Waterbury. The other two to be set up at the Hamilton Heights and Warner Gardens hous- ing projects have not yet been opened because of building restric- tioQS and delays,
