Never before has high school art student been given the oppor- Stunity for such extensive publicizing eof an art work.
 N The talent for Self-expression in art is not confined to any one lo- cality or section of the country. This . is the finding of the jury of award m the Ingersoll Award Art Competi- tion recently held in 28,700 public, parochial, private junior and senior high schools in the United States.
 Every one of the 48 states as well as Hawaii and Cuba were repre- sented in the entries and 30 states and Hawaii and Cuba are represent ed among the PIP prize winners clearly indicating that there are as m0ny talented boys and girls in small villages and outlying districts Df the country as there are in larger communities and big cities.
 The Jury of Award agreed that the future of art in America is in extremely capable hands and evenly divided between the East, West, North and South.
 The Ingersoll Award Art Compe- tition, sponsored by the Women's National Institute of New York be- gan last May and ended September 30, 1944. Thousands of entries were received and the Jury of Award had e terrific time judging this contest because of the excellence of the art works submitted.

 Sgt. De Rosa said that Szymano- wicz signed the following confes- sion:
 T met the girl by the name Of Marie at the show and made a date with her to see her the same night. (Marie atetnded a Salem movie on the afternoon preceding her death Sunday night)
 Tt was about 8 or o'clock I met her the next time. It was this side of Boston was all I remember
 The confession" described inti- mate details of the supposed rem deZvouS, then continued:
 T hit with what I do not know. When this took place cannot re- member. then got scared and went to Utica, N. r., where I have rela- tives. l hitch-hiked all the way.
 Signed by me because it is true and correct"
 Police said Szymanowicz apparent ly was off his course if he arrived in Putnam, as he claimed, while hitch-hiking from Utica to Brook lyn.
 Visiting Relatives
 He told questionerS that his meet ing with Miss Lacombe occurred while he was visiting relatives at 52 Orchard street, Lynn, which is adjacent to Salem.
 Szymanowicz was described as feet 8 inches tall, 140 pounds, blond hair and blue eyes. Police said Szymanowicz made no mention of wrist watch and a bracelet which were missing from the girls body.
 A solemn high requiem Mass was sung at St. Joseph's (Catholic) church here this morning and burial followed in St. Mary's cemetery with eight schoolmates of the slain girl serving as pallbearerS. Marie's mother, Mrs. Joseph La- combe, was near complete break down after collapsing twice yester- day when she accompanied her hus- band and sons, Louis, 15, and Paul, 12, to the funeral parlor where her daughter lay in sealed casket.
 Aroused by the second sex-slay- ing in the area within three years, more than 2,Oo0 Salem residents yes- terday and last night visited Ma ! rie's white bier, decorated only by a plain bouquet of red roses.
 A bus driver and two schoolmates of Marie told investigators they saw her in the company of youth about 16 years old, whom they de- scribed as "tall and good-looking" and wearing a fingertip length coat.
 Jack Vetro, 34, an eastern Massa- chusets street railway company bus driver, said he discharged two pas sengers resembling the slain girl and the tall youth near the Salem high school shortly after 8:30 Sum day evening.

mission and the location of limited access highway through the City should be so designed that substant- ial relief will be given to the East Main street situation. Traffic counts also show that the great bulk of traffic is moving in and out of Wa terbury from communities adjacent to or within the metropolitan area while through-traffic constitutes a relatively minor part of the traffic movement"
 Metropolitan planning as con- sidered yb the commission is 8 need becoming more apparent each year," it is stated within the an nual report.
 'The need for planning on a metropolitan basis is becoming more apparent each year. Problems com mon to all communities in our met ropolitan region should be consid- cred from the standpoint of region al desires and requirements and the final solution of them should result in mutual benefits. Theoreti- cal township lnies must be crossed if such long-range planning is to accomplish such aims. The question of highway locations, the Subdivi- sion of land when such land is partly within the bounds of two or more sof the communities, compre- hensive zoning plans, water supply, sewage disposal, and garbage in- cineration are ocme of the main problems that sohuld be consid- cred"
 Relative to airport considerations it was noted that a recent decision by the Civil Aeronautics Board has been granted to the Northeast Air line to include Waterbury on it's flights from New York to Boston. The All American Aviation Inc. has also made similar application.
 On traffic planning the commits sion in cooperation with the police department has arranged for maps showing locations of four type ac- cidents: 1-Fatalities; D. motor vehicle with no injuries; 3-motor vehicle versus pedestrian; 4-motor vehicle with personal injury.
 Teh report also submits data on such matters as street widening, and recommends in particular wid- ening of that section of South Main street between Grand and Meadow streets to be effected by OF cfIaIxYolEc
 A study of expansion for school playgrounds and the draiwng up of numerous maps haev been accom- plished by the office of the plan ming commission under MT. Scott Smiths direction. He is assisted, part time by MT. Charles Wood lock.

Site No. two which has been located in the Southington Mountain Valley, sec ond best choice, handicaps possibili- ties because it "precludes any pos sibility of constructing an east-west runway as the minimum glide -an- gle when approaching from the west cannot be obtained"
 Further soil examination of Site No. one is now being made to pro- vide basis for an approximate cost of draining, cutting and filling of the land.

 According lo the report:
 Continuous studies are being made as to it's location by the Blu reau of Highway Planning in cooper ation with the City Plan Commis sion. Several locations of the East West route have been studied in re- lation to possible connections with the North-South route.
