Waterbury was given divorce from
Ralph Ruocco, also Of Waterbury, In
judgments handed down today by
Superior Court Judge John A. Cor
nell. Both actions were heard dur.
Ing the fall term OF the court.
In @ memorandum Of decision In
the Lauer case, Judge Cornell sus-
tains tho plaintiffs claims OF in
tolerable cruelty, but denies her PEE
ton for alimony. Hec omments
Evidence shows her conduct toward
her husband and her martial respon-
sibilities formed potent factor In
the ultimate wreck of the marriage"
He adds the plaintiff Is young and
In good health and able TO support
herself.
Allegations Of intolerable cruelty
and misconduct made by the hus-
band IN cross-complaint were
over-ruled by the jurist who com.
mented, however, tina the "plain-
lifts conduct was at 3 so Indis.
Greet as 10 arouse slis. sionS In the
husband" He added there was no
basis In the evidence To Justify
conclusion that she was guilty OF the
particulra type OF misconduct
charged. The hearing In the action
was one Of the longest In divorce
trial In recent years.
A son Of the Lauers has been
adopted by the paternal grandpar-
ents and the custody OF a daughter

sion Is made for payment OF $3.50

Growing Desperate
General Warns
American Airmen

ROME. August / - tR -
Maj. Gen. Nathan F. Twining,
commander of the 18th Air
Force. warned American airmen
in the Mediterranean theater to-
day that the German airforce
was dangerously and must be
given no chance to recover from
their steady hammering.
In a message marking the 37th
anniversary of the founding of
the United States Army Air
Force, Twining told his men
they could nullify the enemy's
air power by relentless pound
centers.
Ing at the enemy's industrial

Pole Premier
May Get Place
in Mew Setup

MOSCOW, Aug. l. Up -
Premier Stanislaw Mikolajczyk
and Foreign Minister Tadeusz
Fomer of the Polish govern
ment-in-eXile, who have arrived
IN Moscow from London for
talks with Soviet officials, may
find some place in a new Pol
ish Set-up, il was believed today.
Observers saw in their trip
from London encouraging signs
concerning the entire Russian
Polish question. Upon their ar
rival yesterday the Poles con-
ferred with U. S. Ambassa-
dor w. Averell Hartman and
British Ambassador Sir Archi-
bald Clark Kerr.
Romer was the last Polish
ambassador to the Soviet Union
and when relations were sus-
pended it was known that the
Russians had nothing against
him personally. The Russians
never have expressed them
selves on Mikolajczyk.
Gin London there was specu-
lation that Mikolajczyk may
form a coalition with the Soviet
supported Polish committee of
national liberation and move di-
rectly to Poland TO administer
liberated territory.
(Such a strategy might mean
a decisive break with Gen. Kaz-
imierz Sosnkowski, the COM
mander-in-chief of exiled Polish
government forces. Sosnkowski,
recently dropped as president
designate in an effort TO mollify
the Russians, is regarded as a
spokesman for the landed class
es of Poland. Mikolajczyk is UNI
derstood to have fallen in with
a postwar plan for distribution
of large estates.
The Mikolajczyk government
is recognized by the United
States and Great Brittany.
