 Patrolman Jeremiah Hunihan then testified that he was called to 59 Abbott avenue last night by the previous witness, who is the &C., cused's brother. But he was not in that condition last night Officer Hunihan said
 Officer Hunihan said Santos had been threatening his brother and a sister with pen knife, which was introduced as evidence. He said he found 1t opened in Santos pocket. The sister, who was i'll, and could not appear in court, had locked her. self in her room until police came, OfficOg Hunihan said.
 On the way to the station, San- tos told the officer, T was in jail last night, and no blankety-blank cop is going to lock me up again" Santos had received a suspended sentence yesterday morning on charges of intoXication.
 After Officer Hunihan had testi- fled, Judge Summa asked Defense Ralph c. Coppeto if his client could talk intelligibly in his own defense. "I doubt it, your honor" replied Attorney Coppeto. T think this man needs psychiatric eXamina- tion."
 Well we'll send him some place where he'll get it." said Judge Summa, and imposed the 60 day sentence. Attorney Coppeto them appealed the sentence and Judge Summa set bonds of $l,000 for a hearing in Common Pleas Court.
 Santos was removed to New Haven County jail to await retria' as he could not furnish bond

Falls in Private Homes Again Listed as Largest Single
 Cause of City Fatalities

The Coun- cil's records further show that falls in the home, and in public, com prised the largest single cause of fatalities. Some 1,l46 were killed as the result of falls at home, 30l after falls in public.
 Absorption of poisonous gases caused 32l home fatalities. Conflag- rations, burns, and explosions in homes killed 205. Largest number of industrial fatalities ascribed to any one cause were no deaths in trans portation.
 Fatalities resulting from motor vehicle operation, 7l8, showed an II per cent decline over l943. Collisions with pedestrians comprised the larg- est single cause of motor vehicle fatalities, 620. Accidental deaths on subwayS and elevated trains totalled 85. Street car fatalities, 30, repre- sented a large increase.

At present local industries by means of their manning table sched- ule list the names and qualifica- tions of their employees whom they believe to be essential to meet pro- duction schedules, and these list- ings are then submitted to the state selective authorities. The latter then make a review of each case and after consultation with the manu. lecturers return report on the in divisual employees to the locai boards. The local boards then mus adhere to the ruling as passed dowk by state authorities.
 Local authorities when questiones4 today stated that it seemed likely that under any new ruling they would have final say on deferments of this nature in meeting monthl, quotas. It does not seem likely tha 1t will be possible to withhold any lnductions of pre-Pearl Harbol fathers within this month, on the basis of filling quotas from potential draftees in the industrial deferment class officials stated because of the length of time that will be required to review these cases. Local fathers are expected to leave around the 18th of March with induction mo- tices now being forwarded to those listed for call.
 Draft authorities here expressed little likelihood that reclassification of these deferred workers will re- suit in any lengthy delay in the drafting of more fathers as the lat ter will undoubtedly be called Ii Washington authorities continue t. call for them. Relative to other de. ferments and 4-F's authorities herl stated that such classifications have been screened over constantly dur ing the past year and the possiblli- ties of any becoming available are slight.
