Bombers Lash
 Reich Targets
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D four-engined bombers struck Co., logne during the night, blasting an- other big section of the doomed city and swelling the weight of ex- plosives dropped on that target in the past four days to 10,800 tons.
 Thus Cologne in the last 84 hours has been bombarded with 1,500 more tons of bombs than the Germans dropped on London during the en- tire 11-month blitz of 1940-41.
 Twin-engined Mosquito light obmbers opened last nights assault on burning Cologne with a light stab at 7:15 p. m., then the four engined Lancasters and Halifaxes followed through at p. m. with a 2,5O0-ton attack that left spreading conflagrations below.
 The raids were the seventh and eighth since Saturday on Cologne, Germany's fourth largest city, in- dustrial and railway capital of the Rhineland and next major obJec- tive of the American 1st Army III eastern Germany.
 Allied Intentions
 The air ministry already has an- nounced that the Allies intend to destroy Cologne to prevent its fur ther use as base for German armies.
 Heavy clouds obscured the target area last night, but Pathfinder planes placed markers over the ob- iectives and a communique de- scribed the bombing as "concen- trated."
 The mysterious. radio Atlantik said fires had been burning in Cologne since atSurday with fire brigades unable to cope with the situation. Entire streets were said to be impossible.
 Other Mosquito bombers last night bombed Hamburg, Germany's biggest port, while night fighters and intruder planes kept enemy planes on the ground with attacks on German arfields. Three RAT planes were lost in all operations.

JAMES LEWIS
 GIVEN S3,S3S
I 5-Year-OId Boy Awarded 5 Judgment Against l. M.
 Shapiro Co.

A judgment of $3,838.69 was ] handed down today by Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas J. Wall for 15-year-old James Lewis of Wa terbury against the I. M. Shapiro kCo., Inc, of Waterbury. Payment pf $380 had previously been made by the Brookside Diaries, Inc, of Waterbury, to the boy, who was in- iured when a wall on South Leon- ard street collapsed and fell on him. The Shapiro concern had been engaged by the dairy to tear down tho wall, and the work was partially done when the structure collapsed. The boy, who was on his way to his home on Lafayette street after at bending school had stopped of near the premises to collect pieces of old Humber to be used as firewood.
 Tn his memorandum, Judge Wall compares the position of the young colored boy to that of Lazarus who stood at the gate of the rich man watching for the crumbs that fall from his table" The jirist points out the Shapiro concern had invited residents of the section to remove the old pieces of unwanted lum- Der and that by doing so they les- ssened the work of the concern, which eventually would have had to take away the WOO ditSelf.
 to take away the wood itself.
 It is pointed out also in the mem sorandum that the boy was on prop aserty of the railroad at the other pside of the wall and not on the siairy premises, when he was buried Underneath the wall debris. The njuriSt states that residents of the lection had been accustomed to us- lng the railroad passway as short cut to their homes.
 The jurist found the contractor was negligent for the manner in which the partially demolished wall was allowed to remain, and said the platnif was exercising due care. About dozen other persons also had entered the premises to remove tho old wood, it was pointed out. Special damages of $1,218.69 were awarded to the boy and 5000 was listed by the jurist as payment for his pain and suffering. It was pointed out the sum of $380, which had already been paid by the dairy was deducted from the total sum Of $4,218.69 in damages.

 Eric Cala1nea, president of the Detail Tobacco Dealers of America confirmed the existence of the black market, but said it merely was causing an uneven distribution rather than contributing to the shortage.
 Basic Causes
 All manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers agreed that the basic causes of the shortage were, in or der of importance; 30 to 50 per cent of popular brand output going tc the armed forces; large but un- known quantities going to occupied and liberated countries; greatly in- creased civilian demand; a slight reduction in manufacturing output due to the manpoWer shortage uneven distribution.

 Quotas
 Manufacturers insisted that cfvil- ian quotas of the popular brands 40 to 70 per cent of total produc- tion--were entering trade channels. Jobbers and sub-j -jobbers said they were passing them along to retail CTS. Yet a leading Chicago retailer said he was getting only % per cent of the limited stocks he got last fall. Chicago merchants were getting one small shipment each a week.
 No popular brands entered the San Francisco retail trade for 10 daysin August, and for two weeks in September retailers got only one half of their quotas. Some 500 United Cigar Stores scattered across the country were being rationed by their management. Each. store may sell a specified number of packs tach day and most of them were selling their allotments before noon. A Chicago chain of tobacco stores was selling cigarets three hours a day, five days a week.

fifteen minutes.
 The Coesarian operation for the multiple birth was witnessed by approximately one dozen leading obstetricians, two of whom assisted Dr. Ullery.
 One of the witnessing obstetri- clans first told Mrs. Cirrninello she was the mother of the quads. He let the fact slip, and she smiled and said she thought something unusual was happening because of the in- terest in the case.
 She had known she was to have more than one baby, but was under the impression that she would have twins.
 Husband Nervous
 During the delivery, her husband, an analyst for the Securities and Exchange Commission, paced the floor in a corridor below the delivery room-just as any other expecting father.
 X-ray examinations prepared the the physicians last August for the multiple birth. When the plates re- vealed two or more babies would be born and the Caesarian operation would be necessary, leading obste- tricians were called into consulta- ton.
 Mrs. Cirminello entered the hos pital seven weeks ago, and was under constant observation. The couples first baby died Sev- eral hours after birth by Caesarian delivery about four years ago. Until today, they had no other children.
 Mrs. Cirminello, secretary to Se- curities and Exchange Commissioner Robert K. McConnaughey, is a na- tive of Okmulgee, Okla. Her hus- band comes from Brooklyn. They have been married six years.

 Increased Last Month
Sharp Upturn in October Notably Emphasized in Child
 Fatalities Causes State Police Concern

pervision of foot traf1c moving on state highways by means of warn- ings issued to violators, followed by arrest on repeated offense.
 During the first nine months of this year" states Commissioner Hickey, explaining his action "23 pedestrian fatalities caused on state highways, have been reported to the department of motor vehi- cles, as compared with IT during the same period last year. The current month of October has witt messed 8 sharp rise in pedestrian accidents. We seek to stem this trend before it vitally effects Con- necticut's traffic safety experience for 1944 as compared with previous years.
 Ten of those killed on state highways were walking with traffic as compared with four felled while moving against traffic. Experience shows that generally three pedes- trians are killed on highways walk ing with traffic to one moving against traffic. It is safer by far, therefore, for foot traffic on state highways to walk on the left side of the highway, against the on- coming vehicle.
 Starting in November, cooperat- ing with the Highway Safety Com missions Special Pedestrian Safety Campaign, the State Police will is- sue warnings to pedestrians violat- ing Sections 6191, 6190 and 1697C of the State Statutes relating to safe pedestrian movement, to soli- citing rides while standing on travel ed portion of the road, and stopping or approaching stopped cars to solicit sales. Repeated offenses will result in arrest and prosecution of violators."
