NO ACTION TAKEN
 |. IN MURDER CASE
Defense Counsel Reported Preparing Formal Appeal
 Papers for Presentation

No notice has been filed aS yet in the Francis Zukauskas murder caSe, but defense counsel are report ed to be drawing up the appeal pa pers and working on the reasons of appeal.
 Filing of the notice will automat- ically set off the death penalty un- til the high court of the state acts. However, a hearing on expenses of the appeal will have to take place before the supreme court gets the case.
 Zukauskas, who was sentenced Thursday to die on April 20 for the staying of Mrs. Stephanie Plungis, was represented by Police Defender Edward T. Carmody and Attorney W. w. Gager, the latter appointed specially by the state to assist in the case. Any expenses on the ap peal likewise will have to be paid by the state, and special court or der from the three judges who pre- sided at the trial will be necessary.
 Whether or not the mentality of Jtle dCCuSeu VIII I)ldy LldJOI lSSuc in the appeal was 8 subject of spec ulation today. A psychiatrist found zukauskas to have mental age of 12 years, defense counsel have re- vealed. Observers state that fact may have had bearing on some of the answers Zukauskas gave from the witness stand, and that the de- fense may try to show the defendant did not understand some of the cruc- ial questions he answered unfavor- ably.

relate to these individuals.
 Only time can institute such changes as a fair and equitable ad- justment. If supporters of such methods insist that progress must be harsh to be practical let us add that the self-knowledge of closing years of long time service because of the march of time is much harsher. HarSher certainly to the individuals who are aware that they are so ear-marked, by time. There is mo- thing as harsh as nature and it's ways. And nothing, we might add, as practical
 Again relative to this department, what have been the actual results of these changes, which, as we have been given to understand, have cre- ated a great deal of ill-feeling throughout the department? Have they proven of such value, that they must, by the very nature of such assumed value, be sustained over and above the interests of those employees to whom they have proven detrimental so far as pride, content mnt, and perhaps among the older men, health, are concerned?
 We don't censure the proponents of these measures for attempting to benefit the city but perhaps fault does exist in the radical haste being shown in adopting reforms which apparently discard the presence of faithful VparS of SerUice shown hv eo many, and in so many instances shown, too, to be advantageous to the city.

FLESCH IN
 Il TROvATORE'
Popular Dramatic Soprano of Metropolitan Opera Co.
 in Role of LenOra

It has been announced today by the Connecticut Opera Association that the role of Lenora in the opera Il Trovatore which comes to Loew's Poli theater on February 21 will be sung by the sensational dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan, Ella Flesch.
 The other leading roles will be sung by Giovanni Martinelli, Metro politan tenor and Anna Kaskas Metropolitan contralto. A large sym phony orchestra and brilliant chorus will provide Waterbury opera lovers with one of the finest operas ever presented in this city. Tickets for the performance are available at Kay Jewelry store, Is East Main street.
 Miss Flesch has won her laurels at the Metropolitan in many operas. She is considered one of the best dramatic sopranos in America and has received the plauditS of critics wherever she has appeared. In the role of Lenora Miss Flesch has an important role and that she will do justice to Verdi's intent is the opinion of opera followers here.
 Reports of sales in the first week since the news of the opera has been published indicates a sellout performance. Officials of the Con- necticut Opera Association, who have presented opera in Bushnell Memorial in Hartford for the past four seasons and in Worcester, Providence, Albany and Richmond are enthusiastic about the Poli thea ter in Waterbury for the presenta- ton of opera. After an inspection of the spacious theater, which seats close to $500 the management have declared that every seat in this theater" is like a front row seat Even seats in the so-called second balcony are far ahead of similar seats in other theaters so that per. sons who cannot pay top prices arc assured that they can see and heal all the action.
