 SavOy's Program
 Savoy's program, with Jimmy Wellington as the announcer and straight man and Benay Venuta as the singing star, is rapidly paced against the musical background of Peter Van Steeden's music. The comedian, despite his years as a theater, night club and radio enter tainer, is stil feeling his way and seeking improvement because it al- ways takes several broadcasts to shake down any new show built around a comedian.

Inadequate Brake
 Caused Gouze Death
No Criminal Negligence in Ledgeside Avenue Accident
 Last September Says Coroner

A finding of no criminal negli- gence in the death of George A. Gouze, 27, who was crushed against tree in a Ledgeside avenue drive way on Sept. 9, when he tried to stop a car which was rolling down the incline, was returned by Coroner Stephen A. Homick today.
 The finding states that the cars handbrake was inadequate to hold the car stationary, and it is believed the failure of this brake caused the car to roll forward as Gouze, who had been driving, rounded the car to assist his companion, Miss Eleanor O. Derench, 103 Ledgeside avenue, to alight.
 As neither occupant of the car was aware of the condition of the emergency brake, and the evidence indicates that Miss Derench was not operating the car prior to and at the time of the accident, no criminal negligence can be attribut- ed to either person the finding states.
 Text of the finding follows:
 In the early morning of Septem- Der 9, 1914, the deceased and one Eleanor O. Derench, after spend- ing part of the previous evening at Hartford, left Hartford for Wa terbury in a 1889 Buick coach owned by the latter and opereated by the deceased. Arriving in Waterbury shortly before 300 a. m, the de- ceased drove directly to the home of Miss Derench at No. 103 Ledge side avenue where he entered the driveway. This is a dirt driveway located on the easterly side of said house and it has a southerly down. grade. The deceased stopped the car about midway on the grade within the driveway where it had been customary for, the owner to park it for the night. The gear shift was placed into neutral, the engine was stopped and the car lights were ex- tinguished. The deceased then left the car from the operators side, intending to go to the opposite side to open the door in order that his companion might alight. When he reached the left rear of the car, the car commenced to roll forward. While the car was so rolling, the deceased ran back to the left door, leaped upon the running board, opened the door and reached for the emergency brake. Before the movement of the car could be con- trolled, the left front wheel of the car went off the driveway and over a four foot retaining wall and the car came to stop with its left door wedged against tree on the

4 Yeors Of Unrest Seen

Wellesley, Mass, Nov. 10-(UP)- Economist Roger w. BabSon, who accurately predicted the 1929 stock market crash when the bull market was at its peak, today warned of great market fluctuations during the next four years"
 In a prepared statement, the 1940 Prohibition candidate for president said, we are entering a period of great surprises, revolutionary changes and wide market fuctua- tions." He added that No normalcy will be seen before 1948."
 Babson predicted that the stock market soon would witness both communistic scareS and speculative booms."
 "The commodity markets will be threatened with deflation in con- nection with raw materials" he said. but they also will be threatened with imitation in the case of man. ufactured articles"
 Though peace will surely come during these four years" Babson said "the fact that Mir. Roosevelt will not run again will make him reckless without regard Of the po- litical consequences"
 Due to the wide market ductua- tions," Babson advised that stocks bonds and commodities should be neither purchased nor sold with out most careful previous study"

4 BOYS TURN IN
 FALSE ALARM NABBED

Four boys of IA years and under were turned over to juvenile author ities last night after being caught by Motor Patrolmen Christopher Delaney and Joseph Phelan who said they turned in a false alarm at South Main street and Lounsbury street at 8:03 p. m.
 Deputy Superintendent of Police Frederick S. Hickey summoned the parents of the boys to police head quarters after the arrest last night, and impressed on them the unneces- sary risk faced by firemen and the unnecessary expense to the city in false alarms.
