DELINQUENCY DUE
TO CRIME FILMS
Rev. John F. Kennedy
Scores Influence of
Gangster "MOvies"

Speaking on Juvenile delinquency
in a sermon at Palm Sunday Mass
at St. Thomas church yesterday
morning, Rev. John Kennedy I'M
leashed a blistering attack on
crime movies as a contributing fac
tor.
Children have told me-" the
priest declared, "that they got ideas
for behavior which got them into
trouble from movies they had at
tended. 1t is time for parents to
demand that such pictures be
stopped.
A letter to the parishioners from
Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe,
bishop Of Hartford, related juvenile
delinquency problems to the absence
of parents from the home.
The message from Bishop McAul-
life was as follows: 1.-THE home suf-
fers much from the absence Of
father and mother and the strange
schedule of working shifts in the
factories. Children are in many
cases left alone to wander subject
to maddening influences. Hence,
come disheartening problems which
we are striving to solve through
many activities of our Diocesan
Bureau"

FLYING KITE
William Chapman, l6,
Winsted Fatality in I'M
usual EIeCtrOCutiOn

In the kite flying fatality Sunday,
William Chapman, 16. of 1853 Main
street, Winsted, was using a thin
wire in place of kite string. The
kite was high in the air when it
went into dip causing the thin
wire to come into contact with high
tension electric wires north of the
freight station on Willow street.
The electric wires carried 27,600
volts, it was later reported. When
the kite wire touched the high vol
tage one there was quick cracking
and Chapman fell to the ground, un-
conscious. A neighbor ran to him.
felt his pulse, thought she detected
slight throb and he was taken to
Litchfield County Hospital There
he was found to be dead.
The thin wire was burned and
parted where it came in contact
with the high voltage wires, but the
current running back to the boy
was enough to kill him and also
charrred the piece of wood he was
using for a reel. Running the other
way along the thin wire, the cur
rent reached and burned a hole in
the kite.

The option was granted by Judge
John A. Cornell last September II
when the present lease Of the con-
Germ was extended from April 80,
1914 to April 80, 1945. The 10000
offer was made March 16 by Atty.
William B. Fitzgerald for an un-
identified company, and on March
"a counsel for all parties concerned
appeared in court to argue the is
sues. The hearing was based
on a formed request made by Atty.
Alfred L. Finklestein, receiver of
the Industrial Properties, Inc, for
instructions.
Quoting the maxim "1indsight Is
oft better than foresight" Judge Nc
Evoy in his memorandum states the
motion of the receiver for instruc-
ton involves a question of good
faith on the part of the court.
He continues, while the newer
offer would result in an increase
of the assets of the estate, never
theless the court should abide In
it's order, even at the risk of loss"
The jurist points out that when the
court approved the extension of the
lease at a monthly rental of ST.
600 and granted an option 1t seemed
then to be to the best interests Of
the estate to do SO.
According to the terms of the orig
inal court order the Watertown I'm
dergarment Corporation, which Is
now controlled by the newly Or
ganized Brascs City Enlargement
corporation, the property may be
purchased for $74,00O before May l.,
1945, but it will not be legally bound
to do so. The rent under the I'M
expired lease is $3.50.
Attorney Herman Weisman, who
represented the undergarment con-
Germ at the hearing last month,
stated the option would be exercised
if circumstances warrant a pur-
chase. He said the concern has set
up machinery at the premises and
has made a large investment in the
manufacturing plant, and wished to
continue its business there. He
pointed out that in normal times
as many as 300 persons are employed
by the concern.
Corporation Counsel Maurice T.
Healey at the time of the hearing
asked for an early sale Of the
property in view Of the tax debt to
the CITY. II was also pointed out
then that if the property should
be sold now the receWership pro-
ceedings might be brought to an
end shortly.
In the memorandum Judge Nc
Evoy instructs the receiver to recog-
nize the order of Sept. II and to
abide by it.

The Civic orchestra of Waterbury
played their final concert of the
1934-44 season last night at Buck
ingham before completely sold out
house. The performance which eli
NAKED many seasons of successful
affairs of this kind in our city
showed very definitely that Water
bury is music minded That the
Civic orchestra is partially respon-
sihie for this attitude of our peo-
pie in Waterbury towards music
goes without saying. Last night as
usual the audience was responsive
from the playing of our National
Anthem to the final stirring Fin
landia" of Sibelius. Assisting solo,
lists were Herta Simon and Urico
RoSsi.
Mario DiCecco, who has steered
the course of the orchestra from
year to year, spoke last night Of
his appreciation of the listeners
appreciation. He called attention
also last night to two musical per-
sonages in the audience, Madame
Henriette Wakefield of New York
city, well known voice instructor,
whose pupil, Miss Herta Simon, was
heard last night, and Greek Evans,
husband of Madame Wakefield, we'll
known singer in the light opera
field and vocal coach.
Miss Simon of this city, drama
tic soprano of considerable talent,
showed ability which characterized
her as musician. She has ire
mendous voice which has been care
fully trained and which was re-
sponsive to her handling of Tchai-
koWsky's "Adieu, forets (Jean d'Arc)
and "Ritorna Vincitotr from Verdi's
Aida, which were well adapted to
her vocal equipment. She respond
ed with two encoreS after big ova-
ton by her listeners, "Homing," and
Il Love Life" Her program and
encore pieces all had excellent sup
port by the orchestra.
Also on last nights program was
the orcheStra's former concert mas
ter, Urico Rossi, violinist, who is
now associated with the u. S. Navy
band in Washington, D. G. Mr.
RosSi has previously played as solo,
list with the local orchestra and has
given Town Hall, New York con-
certs. His playing last night in
the Concerto No. 3, in B minor by
| Sa1nt-SaenS, was of excellent quail
ity. The beautiful concerto was CIV
en- fine performance by Mr.. Rossi
and the orchestra afforded him
distinguished support. In the
three movements Mr.. Rossi played
as he always does with intelligence
and aWareness of the musical text
The Saint-SaenS work has a plen-
tltude of lovely melody, and in his
phraSing of the graceful music. Mr.
Rossi gave an agreeable perform
ance. His playing of the An
dantino quasi allegretto movement
was exceptionally well done, and as
a matter of fact the entire Concerto
was a pleasureable experience for
the audience.
In the orchestral numbers last
night Mr.. Di Cecco as usual select
ed with his usual knack of pleasing
the tastes of all concerned. Bee
thoven'S Symphony No. 3 in E flat
(FirSt Movement) was the first Of
fering on the program. He followed
this with two pieces by Mendelssohn
which rate high praise for the work
