DENTAL BILLINGS
 CLUES IN MURDER
State Police Certain WOm-
 an Shot, Body Buried Last September

Danbury, Conn, June 2-(UP)- State police today had only meager clues of a few dental filings to help them solve the identify of a young woman murdered last fall and her body buried in a shallow grave in the cellar of a Lake Candlewood cottage which was set afire to hide the crime.
 From articles of clothing, invest igators were able to piece together a description of the victim, who, they said, was white, about five feet five inches tall, slim waisted. and who wore her dark brown hair in a long bob. She had been wearing a pinafore type sunback dress with quarter inch blue and white stripes, with a hand-sewn three-inch hem. She wore white canvas wedgies with blue trim. They believed she was under 30 years of age.
 There were silver filings in sev- eral of the teeth, and police were hopeful they could be traced and her identity established from the records of a dentist who did the work.
 State police said they were cer- tain the woman had been shot in the head and her body buried before the cottage was fired last Sept. 21. The body was not discovered until Memorial day when the owner of the property. Nicholas J. Noce. East 50th St), New York. and his wife came to the lake to clean up the debris. They said they had clos- ed the place about three weeks be- fore the fire, and had visited the place several times since then to clear away the debris. The body was uneartbed after a pair of woman's s shoes and several bones were foppd in the cellar. The cottage was To- cated in an isolated section of the lake region.

These six were the only Democrats on the board. The Republicans had the distinguished Edward o. Goss, as president, with Ralph N. Blakeslee Jim Filling, Fred Stan- ley, Fred Chesson, ST., Robt. Walk CT, George M. Beach Louey Gates and Walter D. Ford. The city It. self was in charge of the Demo- crats, but the Republicans always had the whip hand in the Board of Aldermen. Wards were so split up by the General Assembly that the Republicans carried these dis tricts, as a general rule.
 During his term, Steve expressed a wish for none of the appointive boards. He was an alderman, he said at the time, and while alder men were eligible, he felt the nom- inee should be 8 Republican, and the other appointments given to deserving Democrats. In plain words, he recognized the need of harmony in the party ranks, by his insistence that other so-called "plums" go to recognized party workers.
 There was always the change for oratory in the Board of Aldermen in older days. But Steve was a quiet, observing fellow, and left what had to be said to the others, like the party leader, Jim Murray. He was loyal and trustworthy to the party of his choice. and while some others were willing to go with the majority, Steve never went that way, unless 1t was at the request of the Democratic mayor.
 Of late years, Steve just rambled around, meeting occasionally old friends and acquaintances of t,ss years before. He was friendly, fair, just, and honorable in all of his dealings. and had the goodwill and support of the many he knew during his long residence in Waterbury.
 The last time we saw him was at a "wake-house," He gave us a pleas. ant nod as he had done for long time. He looked upon the dead then. He didn't suppose he him. self would soon occupy the same space allotted to the person dead in the front room.
 But then, none of us know; we who look upon the dead today, may be the front room occupant" to- morrow.
 My, but how the old stock is go- ing out.
 Sometimes we wonder if there will be grave left for us.

Stephen L O,Brier,
Leading Light of Brooklyn Athletic Club Served Old Fourth Ward as Democratic Alderman in 1902 and 1903 - Friendly, Fair, Just and Honorable in All
 His Dealings -D Death
 Mourned

stephen J. O'Brien of 33l Grove street died and was buried during the week. Many saw him in death before the funeral at the Mulville mortuary.
 Times have changed in Water bury during the past 70 years, and naturally people known at that time, lived on to become unknown to many of the present day resi- dents.
 But we knew Steve O'Brien, and so did a lot of other Waterbury people. We didn't know him so well, but we knew who he was, and connected him with all sorts of &C., tivity in the Brooklyn district when he was the leading light in the af- fairs of the well known Brooklyn Athletic club. In the days we speak of, 1t was the custom of the Brooklyn club to hold Its annual dance at the old auditorium, gen. orally on New Years night, we think, and although we were never present, the newspapers always car ried lengthy stories of the affair the following night. Newspapers Oi that time were apt to detail "cuh reporters" to such affairs, and to play up" as much as was possible the names of all persons present There were all kinds of committees appointed and their names ap- peared on the good looking pro- gram prepared for the occasion. If 1t wasn't Bergins orchestra that played the dance music, 1t was eith- CT Adolph Lalliers musicians, or a set of American band players.
 This was at a period in Water bury life when all of the dancers were mostly young factory girls and young men. But, gee. how they "fussed" for the good time ahead. Factory pay, then, was not so large, but just the same every girl and young man present appeared in evening dress, not rented either for the occasion. but owned completely by the wearer. And what 8 happy and contented lot of young people they were. Innocence in all of its glory; a soda room. wherein only soda pop was served, and occasion ally a supper later at the rooms of the club. And bright and early the next morning, each and every one present was at his allotted bench in the factory. Little time was ever lost by any of the par ticipants in these old time good natured and pleasant "soirees'.
 Steve O'Brien's death made us think of this time and day. He was around then, younger, of course, and full of energy and ambition. If we are right. he held a responsible job with the old Randolph & Cloves copper manufacturers on lower Bank street, where he was a fore- man, liked and loved not only by the ones under him, but by all em- ployes of the old plant. We used to hear the late Franklyn L. Tay- Tor, probably the best dressed man in Waterbury then. speak of Steve, because MT. Taylor was the general manager and big man of the insti- tuition.
 Tn politics, Steve, like all of Old Brooklyn, was a Democrat. Dur ing the years of 1902 and 1903, he served as an alderman from the old Fourth ward, along. with the late Jim Murray and John Brophy. The fifth ward had Daniel Foley, Eddie Pagan and Martin Keefe.

LITTLE STEEL
FORMULA DEFINED

When the WLB accepted the formula
las its measuring rod for wage increases,
.it assumed that the cost of living would
he held firmly and no additional in
.creases in prices Of food, clothing, shsel-
ter, etc, would be permitted.
The Little Steel formula accepted on
Jan. 1, 1941, as the date representing
the peace-time standard of living Of
American workers.
Next it picked up the u S. Depart
ment Of Labors Bureau Of Labor statis-
tics cost-of-nwng index for the period
between Jan. 1, 194l, and May 1912. and
found that there had been an increase
on BIS figures of Is per cent.
Then the formula provided that the
WLB would grant wage increases up to
IS per cent to groups of workers who
had not received that much in pay
boosts since Jan. /, 194l.
The trouble arose when landlords
food manufacturers, retailers and others
couldn't be kept in line and prices
scared while wages remained frozen.

line with present living costs
