It trails and reports upon the

WASHINGTON, Aug. l7-(P)
Proposals for a sort of region
allied responsibility for peace
on the part of the Big Four ma
tons were heard today, along
with reports that Secretary of
State Hull is ready with a reply
to Gov. Thomas E. DeWey's ex-
pressed worries about the post
war place for small nations.
Hull on previous occasions
has emphasized an American in

Hull Prepared to Answer
Dewey's Expressed Worry

tention to see TO il that small ma
tons have their interests pro-
tected and indications were that
he would follow the same line
in any comment on the Republi-
can Presidential nominees pro-
tests.
While saying lit is good" that
representatives of the Ameri-
can, British, Russian and Chin
csc governments are getting to-
gether for peace-maintenance
talks beginning here next Mon
day, Dewey emphasized in a
statement yesterday that he is
disturbed by the possibility of a
permanent four-power alliance
to dominate the world through
cynical power politics"
TIMELY WARNING
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) called
this "a timely warning" Sena-
tor Hill DALAI labeled it
"cheap political talk" Rep.
Fish (R-NY), whose renomina-
ton Dewey opposed, said he
was Gin entire accord with Dew
ey's stand for the rights of small
nations"
The talk of a regionalized-
peace security arrangement,
gaining favor in military circles
of the capital, is on the basis of
sharing primary responsibility
roughly along these lines:
United States-Western hemi-
sphere and Pacific.
Soviet Union - Eastern Eur
ope and, jointly with China,
Eastern Asia.
China-The Orient, in con-
junction with Russia in East
Asia and the United States in
the area of the Pacific around
Japan.
Britain-Western Europe, in
Guiding the Mediterranean area,
with joint responsibility with
Russia in the Middle East.
Under this arrangement
France, Brazil, Australia and
other nations would be counted
in on the decisions involving
their areas of primary interest,
and, as rapidly as they were
able, would be expected to help
out in any cases involving use
of force.
LIMIT ACTION
The Big-Four would be limit
ed to using their forces only in
accordance with the decisions of
the world security agency which
the Dumbarton Oaks meeting, is
expected to design to the ex-
tent that the governments of
Britain, Russia, China and the
United States will know tenta-
lively what they can agree on.
The United States government
along with its leadership in ad-
vocating collective security on a
world scale has been an out
spoken promoter of regional col
laboration also, citing the Pan
American system as a working
example of what can be done
along regional lines.
Military authorities say they
like the idea as applied to the
use of arms to suppress aggres-
sion because they say it you'd
do away with any need for an
international force, simplify
strategical planning and fit the
realistic requirements of plan
ming action in relation to where
forces are based.
These ideas are believed to be
very close to Russian postwar
security plans.

It stated in it's request for the $1,0O0 that to formulate a practical pension sys- tenn more funds would be needed in the near future.
 City Controller Neil Maloney to ala ythe apprehension of board members stated that it was intent of the commission to be as econom- ical as possible and that the board would be in a position at all times to question any voucher.
 The commission plans to employe to engage an actuary to assist in the work of setting up pension system.

ACTION FILED IN
 FATAL ACCIDENT
Early Morning Auto Trag- edy on East Main Street
 to Be Reviewed

Fatal injuries sustained by Alex ander Duval of Waterbury last Oct. 28 are the basis of a $15,00O civil action filed in superior court today by Raymond w. Duval, administra- tor of his estate, against Joseph Antonelli of Watertown, owner of the car which caused the injuries.
 The accident occurred at 1:30 in the morning when the victim was crossing East Main street near the intersection of Spring street. The complaint states the driver. Pas quale Antonelli, a brother of the defendant, placed the injured man in the car and instead of summon ing medical assistance or conveying him directly to a hospital drove him to the defendants home in Water town. Then, it is related, with his condition growing progressively worse, the victim was taken to St. Mary's hospital where he died at 5:25 a. m.
 Death was caused by 8 fractured skull and compound fractures of both legs, according to information contained in the complaint.
 It is alleged the car operator turned his eyes from the highway as he conversed with a passenger in the front seat of the car, and lost control of the vehicle. It is claim- ed he did not keep proper look out and failed to give any signal to the pedestrian.

CORONER FREES
 TRUCK DRIVER Finds No Evidence of Neg
 Iigence in Death of $ Child

A finding by Coroner Stephen A. Momick today dissolved Anthony Perazella, Pollen aveffue, Oakville, of negligence in the death of five year r.old John CarSerino who was crushed beneath the wheels of Pera- Zella's Mack truck on Wolcott street Jan. Il.
 The finding states that the child, with a ten-year old companion, had been sliding down the yard at 58l Wolcott street, on the westerly side, stopping before reaching a steep em- bankment leading to the road.
 After each boy had taken five or six rides, "it appears that the Gar serino) child, because of his tender years and because of the speed of the sled, was unable to control the direction or movement of said sled. !"
 The sled went over the embark ment, which is 10 to 12 feet high, and a 75 degree grade, and shot beneath the rear half of PeraZella's truck, which was moving south at about 30 miles an hour. The child was immediately removed to St. Mary's hospital where he was pro- nounced dead on arrival.
 Perazella first saw the child ac- cording to the finding, ten feet di- rectly east of the trucks front wheels, as the sled came down the yard at rapid rate.
 The finding concludes, there was nothing on the roadway immediately preceding the scene of the accident to warn the operator that any chil- dren would be sliding in that vicin- ity. Nor does testimony disclose

I Ierryville Man Wins
 Appeal For Benefits
James Glavickas Awarded Decision for Leaving Job
 Without Sufficient Cause

Hartford, Feb. 18.-Unemployment benefits will be granted to James Glavickas of Terryville and Mat hew Barend of New York city even they left their respective places of employment without sufficient cause" because the War Manpower Commissions controlled hiring plan have prevented both men from getting desired employment through no fault of their own." it was or dered in decisions on two appeals handed doown Wednesday by Dis trict Commissioner Cornelius A. Moylan.
 In the interstate case of the New York man, who left his job as ma chine operator at the New Britain Machine company to rejoin his family for which he had not been able to obtain living quarters in New Britain, it was emphasized that had the controlled hiring plan been in effect, Barend would prob- ably have been able to obtain work in New York at once.
 Satisfied with his wages. which averaged between $90 and $115 for a 70-hour week, the hours and other conditions connected with his work, Barend had statutory limitations imposed on his award by an exam iner at previous hearing which were upheld because the reasons for quitting "did not have good cause connected with the employment"
 However, in his decision, the com missioner drew attention to the reasons which had been responsible for the machine operators return to New York where he hoped to obtain work at far lower salary.

Mess Attendont Gives His Life

Boston, Feb. 18-(UP)-A New York Negro mess attendant of a coast guard cutter gave his life to save his executive officer and others during dramatic rescue op- erations in the sinking of trans port in the North Atlantic last year.
 Coast guard officials revealed last night that Charles D. David, Jr., 26 of (1324 Prospect avenue) New York city, repeatedly dived into icy waters in total darkness to rescue survivors.
 At one point, he saved Lieut.. Langford, Anderson of Wellesley, his executive officer who had gone overside to set an example for his rescue crew. David died of pneu- monia following his exposure and exertions.
 Lieut.. Anderson said that due to David's extreme strength he "facili- tated the task of getting survivors aboard who were frozen to such a degree they were like logs" He added that four or five enemy sub marines were shadowing the convoy at the time the transport was hit
 and sunk.

The meeting was held ill the as- sembly hall of Crosby High School, with Miss Fennessey Canty, off ciating as chairman, and M :. Hell en McNiff, as secretary. The pur- pose of the session was two-fold: discussion of several new phases of the movement to obtain an equal ization of salaries for women high school teachers and course of fu- ture action.
 It was clearly evident throughout the meeting that many of the teachers present were keenly dis appointed in the actions of certain members of the board of education in voting to adopt a committee rec ommendation not to make any changes which would equalize the salaries paid men and women teachers for equal work and equal responsibilities. In personal inter views preceding the regular meeting of the board the members admitted that they were in sympathy with the move and expressed personal opinions that the women teachers deserved equal pay. When it came to vote-they forgot to remember!
 Listed as favoring equal pay are Commissioners Joseph DeLuca, Har- old J. Parkinson and Dorothy A. c. Budde.
 Those opposed, as indicated by their vote Monday evening: Com mlsSioners Harry c. Post (R) and Raymond Stone, Perry Graicerstein, Anna Hadden, Thomas c. Driscon and Edward D. Bergin, (Demo- crats). An interesting report of their conference with Mayor John s. Monagan was also incorporated into the minutes of the meeting. Little or no encouragement was gleaned from the interview.
 However, after 8 general discus sion it was voted to have the spe- cial committee remain active in gathering data and being prepared to answer all inquiries as their ob- jective. No decision was reached as to the next course of action.
 The committee includes Miss Canty and Miss Natalie Altieri of Wilby High School; Misses Jane Given and Kathryn Hayes of Cros- by High School; Misses Helen Ho- gan and Florence Battle of Leav- enworth and Miss Mae McKenna of the physical education teachers.
 The resolution of appreciation for endorsements of their campaign was adopted for 13 different wo- mems organizations who have gone on record favoring equalization of pay, to local ministers, to CIO Local No. 21 and to the Greater Council, 0. I. O.
 There was no comment made at yesterdays meeting as to the sug- gestion that the question of equal salaries be referred to the general electorate of the city for a vote. The proposed referendum remains only "just an idea.

The plaintiff had claimed he was severely beaten by James w. Horan, an employe of the concern, last Sept. after midnight while Horan was on patrol duty. Shortly after the trial opened Judge McDonough ordered the jury to return 8 verdict for the defendant, pointing out that Horan was not furthering his duties when he ran across the street from his patrol beat and assaulted the plaintiff, and the concern was not responsible.
 In his memorandum of decision the jurist states, '"The master can- not be answerable for injuries re- sulting from sudden, strange im- pulses of the servant when the lat ter departs from his duty to in- flict such injuries" He states fur ther, '"To allow this matter to be considered by the jury would be idle as no facts appeared for their consideration upon which a verdict could be found."
 Attorney William K. Lawlor, who represents the plaintiff, said today he would file an appeal to the State Supreme Court of Errors. on the de- nial of his motion to set aside the verdict. The plaintiff claims the court erred in stopping the trial and instructing the jury to return a verdict without hearing the remain der of the testimony.
 The judges decision points out that Horan had applied for his pa trol job only week before the inci- dent occurred and that on the night of the assault he was still receiv- ing instructinos from an exper- fenced watchman. He points out certain behavior of Horan, stating that at one of the banks the two men visited Horan broke a mirror and later hurled brass name plate through framed picture on desk. Horan then ran from the building shouting Stop those presses" and blowing a whistle, it was related.
 The elderly watchman could not catch the other worker, the judge continues, and Horan ran to the Americana Republican building on Leavenworth street, where the plaintiff was employed. It is pointed out the plaintiff was struck and beaten when he left his lunch to see what was creating the commo- tion outside.
 Horan was said to have left the First Federal Savings and Loan as- sociation building on Leavenworth street just before the incident oc- cured. The judge points out that his next stop would have been the Git izens and Manufacturers National bank, and there was no reason for him to cross the street to the news paper office in the course of his em- ployment.
 The plaintiff testified during the trial that he did not strike back when Horan grabbed him because he thought Horan was policeman. In his patrol work Horan wore a uniform similar to those of police men. The plaintiff claimed he sus- tained severe injuries to his neck, head, shoulders and thighs.
 Attorney William J. Larkin repre- sented the defendant concern.
