Pair Fined For Bottle With SoIMry
Sewage, McGuire Guilty; Former
 Also Given Term

John Savage, 18, Denny street, and John Mcclure, g, IA Aver street, were arraigned this morning before Judge John Gaffney in City Court, on charges of assault and breach of the peace.
 Savage was fined $50 and received a three months jail sentence on the first count and $25 fine on the second. He is appealing the former fine and sentence. McGuire received a $50 fine on the assault charge and $25 fine on the breach of the peace charge.
 The charges arose when Ralph Solury, 140 Wolcott street, received a fractured ankle in a fight in a parking lot on Phoenix avenue April 8.
 Solury had been drinking at the bar in The Anchor Grill on East Main street with a friend, James OLeary, 35t Grove street, when a man standing close to him. McGuire, began to use abusive language. So- loury attempted, because of the presence in the restaurant of lady customers, to quiet the man. Me- Guire then increased his obscene talk and invited Solury to 'step out side"
 The two men went out of the grill to East Main street and OTeary followed in an attempt to stop the ensuing fight. O'Leary stepped be- tween the two and was making progress in his attempts at peace making, when John Doc" Savage. coming from the grill, pushed Solury and demanded that Mcclure be left alone.
 The four men then agreed to walk to the nearby parking lot with the intention in mind of having Solury and Savage settle the newer argument.
 In the parking lot, while Solury and Savage were engaged in eX- changing blows, Mcclure stepped into the fracus and swung his foot at Solury, fracturing his right ankle and amid the protests by Solury that "my ankle is broken,p Savage continued to rain blows upon the injured man, rendering him uncon- scious.
 Mcclure ran from the scene, fol- lowed by OLeary, who returned later with taxi to take Solury to St. Mary's hospital, where he re- mained, confined to bed in plaster cast, for two weeks. After being dis charged from the institution he was then confined for three months at his home, and as yet retains slight limp.
 Savage and McGuire were ar rested by It. William Foley.

2 Local Men Ask Decrees

Two Waterbury men filed divorce actions in Superior Court today. Both writs will be returnable to the court Sept. A.
 Felix Mocicchio seeks divorce from Antonette Bocicchio, also of this city, on the ground of desertion. The marriage was performed Jan. 9, 1909 at Baregono, Italy, and the plaintiff claims he was deserted in April, 1881.
 A charge of intolerable cruelty is the basis of the suit filed by Paul J. Rosselot against Martha Rrapratin Rosselot, also of this city. The cou- pie married March 29, 1888 at Mil- lerton, N. Y., and the cruelty is al- legged to have started the following month. The plaintiff seeks custody of their four children.

NeuU Sugar Stamp
 Valid Sept. I

Washington, Aug. 23-(UP) Sugar stamp 3S in ration book four will become valid Sept. 1, Office of Price Admin istration announced today.
 It will be good for five pounds of sugar until Dec. S1, 1945.
 Sugar stamp g, originally scheduled to be usable on Sept. 1, was invalidated because many housewives had used this stamp last summer, mis- takenly, when they applied for extra canning sugar.
 The current sugar stamp, No. 36, becomes invalid Aug. S1.
 OPA Is continuing the cur- rent ration rate of five pounds of sugar every four months because of a shortage of sup plies. No improvement for civilians is expected this year, since stocks are lower now than they have been for ten years.

an expanded disciplinary program and call in for hearings persons involved in pedestrian accidents and the apparently deliberate trafflc signal Violators.
 There were 995 pedestrians injured for the first seven months of l945. This is IA more than for the same period last year. The incomplete record for the first three weeks in August indicates a still further up- ward trend. All accidents for July were twenty-five per cent higher than for July last year and incom- plete records for August indicate that the increase for this month will be over thirty per cent.
 Commissioner Watson has, there fore, issued the following memoran- dunn:
 Memorandum to Francis W. Hogan, director, Division of Opera tor Control:
 1. From this date and until fur- ther notice, you will call in for Motor Vehicle Department hearing all persons who are involved in ac- cidents with pedestrians while op- erating motor vehicles.
 g.. From this date and until fur ther notice you will call in for Motor Vehicle Department hearings all persons who are convicted of passing through red light or boulevard stop sign.
 3. The purpose of these instruc- tions is not necessarily to suspend operators licenses but to warn op- orators of the seriousness of these types of entries on their driving records and to determine whether or not calling these operators in for hearings can reduce the fre- quency of these types of violations and accidents.

Benefits of the Sulfa Drugs

Colonel Holbrook is quoted \.
saying, at is difficult to guard
ones enthusiasm in the face of
such results"
Just how the method is to be ap-
piled to a general civilian popula-
ton, it is not easy to say. To advise
people not under medical super
vision to use drugs daily has GER
tainly not been the habit Of the
profession.
Some are liable to think if a
little is good, a lot will be better.
And the sulfa drugs have definite
dangers. The newer ones are less
so than those first used. And pos
sibly one will be found that has no
dangers whatever. We have lar
aged to make diphtheria immuni-
cation practically universal under
Public Health Service. Perhaps
we will be able to do the same with
this.
