 T-Sgt. John P. Astyk, AAF radio operator who has been in- termed at Stalag Luft for the past 19 months, will be taken directly to Halloran General Hospital, Staten Island upon his arrival. He will be given an early furlough unless his condition necessitates continued hos IJIldllLd,LlOIl, IIlG w dL ACPdA O1AlCAlb explaine din a telegram to his par ents, MT. and Mrs. John Astyk, 45 Walnut street.

U. s. Time Corporation F FavorableAction
Explains Position in Asking Middlebury ZOning Board
 to Reverse Recent Decisions; No Protest

tors denial of the company's petit tion (exhibit D.
 Purpose Explained
 As reported here previously the company plans to utilize the pro- posed second story addition for pur- poses of office space, space for its research department. additional space for cafeteria and space for its labor relations department. II is expected that some 225 member employees of these departments would be provided working space by this addition. The cafeteria ano kitchen shall be completely equipped to handle 200 meals per shift with 100 at each sitting.
 The U. s. Time Corporation re- gently sold it's original buildings, on Cherry Avenue, (still occupieO to the Benrus Mfg. Go. Its post war plans call for the major share of it's production being conceived at the Middlebury plant with assembly work to be undertaken in great share in a factory site in Little Rock, Ark, now already leased by the plant Eventually upon moving from it's Cherry Avenue quarters + will relinquish full title to the lat ter site.
 Formerly the Waterbury Clock Company, famed makers of the "1n- gersoll", the company has under gone many changes of hands during the past 15 years and now is con- trolled by interests who came to this country at the start of the war. Since that time 1t has been engaged in the manufacture of highly pre- cisioned irishments and parts TOT the armed services and is the recipi- ent of the wartime Army-Navy 'E" award
 It has been learned from various sources that the majority of the res- idents of Middlebury do not object to construction of the addition and that opposition is being shown by a strong minority group. rms minority is said to oppose the pro- pcsal holding the fear that the company will permit the construc- tion of cheap sterotyped company houses" on its land surrounding the plant. This the officials of the con- cern have denied planning.
 Pays 26 Per Cent of Taxes
 The company's appeal to the board cites the fact, noted here before that since erection of it's present modern plant 1t pays tWenty-siX percent of all taxes collected by the Town of Middlebury, resulting, since the erection, of reduction of 3 mills in the tax rate there, from 17 to IA mills If permitted to add, officials state, they likely will be paying 35 percent of the taxes on an assess ment of $2,700,000
 Also noted is the fact that 1t employs approximately 2,25O em- ployes in the plant there of whom 125 are residents of the town, ana carries a monthly payroll Gin these times) of $6OO0,O00

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-02-16

The dissenting attorney, dean of the Connecticut Bar, pulled a sur prise on the court when he called Attorney Alfred L. Finkelstein, re- ceiver of the concern, to the stand to testify.
 Attorney Finkelstein last week was instructed by the court to draw up a quit claim to the city, which holds a tax bill of more than $4,0O0 against the land. The receiver at that time stated efforts to sell the undevelop- ed land had failed, that he was anxious to close the receivership, anc, that the city was interested in owing the land which is adjacent to the Municipal Stadium and BrookSide Hom
 When the quit claim deed was presented to the court today, Attor- ney Bronson, who also spoke at last weeks session. ftated he wished to be heard, and called a land sur- veyor, Harry Schmidt of Watertow1. to the stand. His interest in the property stemmed from his status as an adjacent property owner, the lawyer disclosed.
 MT. Schmidt testified on the lay out of the land md on the possibility of breaking 1t up into lots. On brief cross by Attorney Fin kelstein he admitted there were no water connections, no gas or cleo tricity outlets and that the land was undeveloped. He also said he did not know of anyone who ished to buy the land.
 Calling the receiver to the stand Atty. Bronson asked him what ef- forts he had made to sell the land Atty. F1nkleStein reiterated his previous statements, that he had talked to countless numbers of prospective purchasesr that he had advertised in papers, that he had done all ne knew to get purchase offer greater than the amount owed the city in taxes.
 The receiver commented from the stand. "Ill sell 1t to you or to any body
 Later he commented to the court T don't make a habit of giving any thing away for a song but l also don't want to hold onto a dead horse"
 Atty. Bronson replied he did not think the receviership had exhaust ed its userulneSs, and that 1t would not be desirable to give the land away for $4,000 when it is assessed at $500.
 Judge McEvoy referred to state ments made by the receiver on tho citys intention to keep the land anc not sell 1t to anyone. He stated thai in view of that information some oi tine prospective purchasers who hat been waiting for the city to acquire it and resell at bargain rates nigh reconsider the matter. He stated ht would continue the matter for an other week to await further de velopments.
 The quit claim deed was left witt the court, which also granted the receiver permission to continue business for four months more. At torney Finklestein stated it ap- peared the continuance would Dc the last he would request.
