WASHINGTON, May 20 GNS)
Supreme Court Justice Frank
Murphy urged today the establish
ment Of a l.. S. free port for
refugees, which would permit the
temporary admission of refugees
from NaZi Europe regardless of
visa requirements and lmmigra-
ton quotas.
Murphy's associates indicated he
expected TO make a formal state
ment on the plan in a day or two.
The plan would be patterned
on the free port for commerce.
whereby goods may be imported
into the United States, in transit
TO other countries. without pay
ment of import duties.
lnternment camps for refugees,
il was explained. would be estab-
llshed in one or more ports or

81 MINUTE TEST
FIRST in MONTHS
Curtin Indicates Review
Meetings for Wardens
Il May Be Resumed

The shrill, throbbing cry of the
city's air raid sirens sounded last
night and Waterbury settled down
to q 81 minute blackout test called
by Army authorities. 1t was the
first test held here since Dec. 80
and while its general performance
was far from perfect the majority
of violations" were born of care
1essness and absent mindedness.
Chief Air Raid Warden James J.
Curtin said after the test that what
confusion existed was born Of resi-
dents forgetting how to distinguish
between the second blue signal and
the Nll-clear as to the turning on
of lights in the home. When the
second blue signal was sounded last
night which permits of street lights
being turned on again. many homse,
in violation of such rules, likewise
were illuminated. In addition signs
on stores such as a furiture store
near Exchange Place an East Main
street peanut shop and a sign on
church lawn on North Main street
were lit.
Mayor John S. Monagan, Deputy
Chief Fred Hickey and Fire
Comrs. Gordon Somers and Archie
Phillips accompanied the air raid
official on the tour.
Following the raid test last night
Mr.. Curtin issued the following
statement:
sHThe residents of the city APP
parently have forgotten the regula-
tons concerning these tests, parti-
cularly in the case of the second
blue signal and the all clear sig
nal.
ION the blue signals. both first
and second, motor traffic and ped
estrians, are permitted to move,
street lights are lighted. but all
lights in homes and business build
1ngs should be extinguished.
TO prevent any interruption to
war production, war plants black
out only during the red period. For
this reason, too, the rules permit
the traffic during the blue periods.
on the assupmtion that cars may
be carrying workers to plants at
this time.
There are four audible signals
in these tests. The first is the blue.
then the red. then the second blue,
followed by the all-clear, a short
single blast.
THE great majority of the people
are attempting to comply. believe,
but they abe getting out of the
habit Of blackouts. 1t appears some
civilians defense workers, too, are
confused in a number Of cases. he
concluded. indicating that review
meetings for wardens may be re-
sumed shortly"

and of recent years had large in
terests in realty. In his various
affiliations he made many contacts
and won the respect and con-
fidence Of hundreds.
To old time residents Of the north
end the deceased will be remem-
bered as Frank Tedor, the popular
proprietor of q fruit and grocery
store that for years was located at
692 North Main street, almost d.
rectly opposite the junction Of
North Main, Hill and Burton streets.
In the expansion of the Waterbury
Manufacturing company and the
Chase Rolling Mills the industries
obtained sections of land that
hedged in Mr.. Tedor's property on
three sides. Negotiations whereby
either division of the present Chase
Brass e. Copper company could OBJ
tain the property to extend its
building line on North Main street
were never successfully completed.
Mr.. Tedor's property still remains a
landmark in that particular rection
of the city.
Mr.. Daddario to return to the de-
ceaseds official name was friend
and advisor of scores Of his for
mer countrymen and advised them
on various business matters, particu-
larly in protecting their savings and
obtaining their own homes.
In this capacity he directed many
new arrivals in Waterbury to be-
come property owners and respon-
sible citizens.
Mr.. Daddario was a native OF
Italy. but came to this city at the
age of Is. He started in fruit and
grocery business as a young man
and developed a very substantial
trade.
About four years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Daddario observed their golden we'd

Who should take care of bus
stop - the city or the bus COM
pany? The question Is a matter
for the public utility commission to
decide it was ogreed upon by the
board of aldermen last night. On
motion of Alderman william v.
Gerard (R), the subject be for
warded to the utility commission.
The issue between the city au-
thoritieS and those Of the bus COM
pany relate to who is responsible for
keeping the bus stop areas as
marked off on the corners of vari-
Gus city streets free from snow and
debris. The transportation company
has maintained that that is the city's
duty while the latter's contention is
that it is up to the bus authorities to
take care Of the matter. Users of bus
transportation last year protested
the delay In clearing off many OF
these areas from the occasional
heavy snow we had at the time.
City owned property the greater
share Of which had been acquired
through tax foreclosures was sold
last night by authorization of the
board of aldermen after the latter
board at its meeting reviewed the
various bids presented for this
property.
A lot located on the northeast
corner Of Congress avenue and
Washington Avenue was authorized
to be sold to Stephen SAVING at the
price Of $1,000 as bid by the latter.
The mayor was authorized by the
board to execute the proper deeds
for the sale.
The property formerly was the
site of the original building of the
Third Congregational church which
now is located on Highland avenue
The board also accepted the bid
of Angelo Coviello Of $120 for Lot
48 and Bellevue street, also taken
over recently by the city for taxes. 1t
received and referred to the land
committee four other bids for city,
owned properties. One was of $160
from Nicholas Villano for Lots, 8,
~ and 10 on may Of Cedar Hill park.
Another was of $50 from Leonardo
Daddona for Lots 8, IL and Is on
Martone street. NJ. J. Sullivan Of
fered $500 for Lot IS on the Booth
and Welton survey of the Porter
estate, which is on the west side of
Riverside street. He also offered
$50 for the north half Of lots 456
and 457 on the may of Fairlawn
Man, at the corner Of Woodbine
and Monterey streets.
The board referred to the board
OF works for hearings the proposals
OF the city plan commission that
the corners of several streets be
widened. These are at the corner
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-05-02

Appearing IN Denalt OF Leopold OF
the hearing was Herbert s. Smith,
general secretary Of the Waterbury
Y. M. c. A., who said he has the
support of the following local resi-
dents: John A. Coe, Charles A.
Templeton, Frederick s. Chase, Will
liam T. Jebb, Frank Hess, Albie
Booth, Rev. John G. Walker, Rev.
S. w. Weller, Rabbi William p.
Greenfield, Joseph Manganaro, Leon
H. French, and Mrs. j. Wolf.
States Attorney william B. Fitz-
gerald represented the state, but no
opposition was given to the plea for
q pardon.
Leopold was accused of planning
the fire which destroyed Baldwin
street house Feb. 5, 1928 and took
the lives Of two children, Joseph
and John Moynihan, and an alleged
firebug, Samuel Weiss of New Hav-
en-. Maurice Shellman of New Haven
testified at the trial that he and
Weiss has been paid by Leopold to
set the fire.
The state board was told yester-
day that three Of Leopold's six chill
dren are in the service. His wife and
children have stood by him, Mr..
Smith said. Leopold had made sew
eral previous appearances before
the pardons board during the IA
and half years he has been a pris-
oner.
The states position at the hear
ing, which was conducted in the af-
ternoon, was one of answering ques-
lions placed by the board. Attor-
ney Fitzgerald stated that the state
did not approve the petition for
pardon, but it did not oppose it.
News of Leopold's pardon stirred
considerable comment in the city
today, and numerous observers re-
called incidents that occurred dur
ing the trial and on the numerous
occasions when Leopold sought par
don. At one time, several years
ago, the prisoner attempted to
commit suicide by jumping from
tier of cells, and was seriously
injured.
Details on the movement to sup
port Leopolds quest for q pardon
were not supplied, but it has been
known that for some time his fam
lily has been seeking hackers In
order to give strength to the petit
ton.
Leopold was tried on four counts,
and was found guilty on two. He
was given a double life sentence,
and considerable doubt was ex-
pressed then that he would be able
to obtain a communication or pardon
in view of the double" aspect OF
the sentence. However, the two
sentences were set to run concur
rently, and the effect on pardon
petitioning was no different than
in the case Of an ordinary life sem
tence. it has been pointed out.
Prosecution of the charges, which
aroused city-wide interest, was con-
Quoted by Attorney Lawrence L
Lewis, then states attorney here
while Attorney John H. Cassidy APP
peared for the accused.
Ten other men who were sentenc-
ed in the Waterbury superior court
appeared before the state board
yesterday but were unsuccessful in
their appeals. They are: Philip
Rousche, Baron j. Torkomian. Den
mis- Mccarthy, James Bubulas,
Michael Zimmaruck, John Saitkow-
ski, Arthur Daillancourt, Charles

in City Court this morning on
charges of violating the city ordi-
nance regarding outdoor fires.
Fire Captain Eugene Legge, aide
to Marshal Dennis j. Lahey, said
the match dropped by Gugdenis in
his yard on Saturday afternoon set
fire to the roof Of his neighbor's

Prosecuting Attorney Frederick

that the city had been put to much
expense from a large number Of
brush fires. He called attention to
city ordinances requiring that any
one desiring to light an outdoor
fire obtain permission from the fire
