 as to It's general expansion rights under the Middlebury zoning or- dinance.
 Permission to withdraw the suit was granted, after Attorney J. Warren UpSon, counsel for the Mid dlebury zoning unit, agreed that there was no objection.
 The withdrawal came less than 24 hours after the Town of Mid- dlebury increased its tax rate from IA to % mills and announced that its Grand List had dropped by $600,000 as the result of a cut in assessments, including 8 $567 900 cut for the U. s. Time.
 Attorney Edward T. Carmody, an officer of the corporation and It's counsel, said that the drop in as. sessment was due to curtailment or production and decrease in equip" ment and materials. -....
 It was indicated at last nights meeting, at which the tax rate was set, that the drop in assessment for the corporation was the chief factor in causing the necessity of an in- crease in taxes.
 Indications that the firm wishes to continue with its expansion pro- gram were given when Carmody said counsel were preparing to press the Superior Court action. The case is not yet ready for a hearing, however.
 Superior court will be asked to issue a declaratory judgment set-' ting forth the general rights of the firm to develop its property in Mid- dlebury "in accordance with its reasonable industrial needs and in accordance with the laws of the state" according to the statement made in court today by Gager. The second-Story issue will be covered in Superior Court.
 The counsel pointed out at the brief hearing that in withdrawing the appeal action it did not waive its rights to file further petitions on the matter.
 The Common Pleas Court case was an appeal from the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals, un- der which the company was denied permission to construct the second story. The zoning board had sus- tained a previous ruling by the towns zoning commission and the building inspector, who had refused to approve the permit.
 The firm claimed that the new zoning ordinance was not in effect when it first acquired the Middle bury property in December, 194l. It claimed that it did not build a larger plant earlier because of the shortage of materials. The ordin- ance was adopted october 8. l042.
 According to the expansion plans, the second story would house of- 1ices. a research department. . cafeteria. end a labor-relations de- partment.
 The Common Pleas Court action had been scheduled for special trial next Tuesdays

Burlington

(Continued from Page D
 The three cars forward of the rear car of the SAdvance were smashed hopelessly, and dead were strewn along the twisted tracks. Wreckage and bodies were soaked with diesel oil.
 The Advance, which left Chicago slightly ahead of the Exposition, made the unscheduled stop here after Conductor Jack Aue, Rock ford, H., noticed something" fly out from beneath one of the coaches. He did not know what the something" was, but stopped the train and the crew got out to in- vestigate. It may have been hot box, or only a rock, authorities said.
 Witness Describe Action
 The Advances flagman, James Tangney, Aurora, Ill, raced through the train to the rear platform and jumped down. Survivors in the rear car saw him run down the tracks waving his flags. Then they saw him bolt and run off to one side.
 Witnesses said the flagman was standing seven or eight car lengths from the rear of the Advance. It was a clear, bright day and visibil- ity was unrestricted. The bend in the track was not enough to ob- struct the engineers vision at that point, they said.
 At 2:06 D. m. (EST), exactly 90 seconds after the Advance had stopped, the Exposition, her breakes screeching, rounded a gradual bend in the track and crashed with thunderous impact.
 Just before the crash, the fireman of the exposition, G. H. Crayton, Galesburg, IL, shouted to the en- gineer, "Bill you're going to hit" Then he leaped from the cab-to his death. Most of the other dead were aboard the last car of the Advance, and most of the injured were in the three cars forward.
 Priest Administers Rites
 The screams of passengers min gled with the grinding smash ot the rear car, which crumped like the wood of a cigar box.
 The Rev. F. R. Stenger, Catholic priest who administered last rites to the dying alongside the wreck, made his way into the last car and found "decapitated bodies - dismembered mutilated and crushed beyond hu- man shape"
 A passenger told of seeing sol- dier carrying a baby in his arms When the crash came, the baby was hurled from its fathers grasp into the arms of sailor, who carried 1t from the train unhamed. The sol- dier father lost leg.
 Police, ambulances and volunteers were summoned from Naperville and neighboring communities, The bodies were taken to mortuaries here and at Aurora.

Peruvian
 Rops Reds

New York, April 26-(PU-Man- uel Seoane, vice-president of the Peruvian Senate, charged today that Soviet Russia is melting workers in Latin American countries to strike and thereby delay production ot maerials that would be needed by the American nations in event of another war
 Seoane, arriving here by plane to attend meetings of the United Ma tions Social Welfare Committee, de- scribed the strikes as part of ga widespread plot connected with Russias desire for world domina- tion."
 He said the main materials Rus sia sought to block were new oil findings in ePru, copper in Chile, and other minerals in Central South America, as well as such foodstuffs as sugar.
 He charged that greatly dispro- portionate numbers" of Russian dip- lomatic personnel were arriving in practically all Latin American countries.
 "The implication of this is obvi- ous," Seoane said. Soviet Russia has attained the initial objectives of its revolution and is now embarking on an imperialist plan of domination" "

 located a block and a half from Mrs. Chipman's home, is among those who were listed as benefici- aries, but later crossed out. The probate court ruled that there was no information as to who made the cross-marls why they were made, and refused to recognize them.
 Attorney Walter Torrance, who represents Mrs. Lulu Beere of 4S Country Club Road, second cousin of Mrs. Chipnian and main ben- eficiary, said today that the mat ter has been fully discussed by the parties involved and that fin all likelihood 1t will be settled and the appeal will be withdrawn within the next few weeks"
 Mrs. Beere Only One Named
 Attorney Beach represents Mill dred Bird of Bristol, one of the sev- eral persons who were to share the residue of the estate following is- suance of specific bequests. Mrs. Beere was another of those named to share in the residue.
 Others named in that category were Mary Elizabeth Kellogg of Cornwall, Louise Chipman of Nor- walk, and Ella s. Chipman of Mid- dlefield, Mass. If the cross-rnardks had been recognized, however, only Mrs. Beere would have received the residue of the estate.
 The counsel for Mrs. Beere said today that no public disclosure of the settlement terms will be given. He said the settlement terms will be given. He said the settlement was a matter among the parties involved and that no adjustment record would be filed or otherwise made public.
 MT. Gager appears for the Colon- ial Trust Company, the executor, while Probate Judge William Man. gan of New Britain appears for the two first cousins, who were not mentioned in the will.
 The two first cousins claimed that as nearest kin they should receive the estate. They claimed that Mrs. Chipman did not have testamen- tory capacity when the will was ex- ecuted in 1928, and that the docu- ment was revoked by cancellation" "
 Requests Announced
 Under terms of the will, as ap- proved by probate court, trust fund of $150000 was set up for St. Johns Church, the Third Church, and the Southmayd Home, St. Johns Church to receive one-third, the Third Church, one-fourth, and the home, five-twelfths.

Continued from Page D nounced an appeal to its members to "give generously" to the support of the units on strike against A,B.C. Unit Chairman James Galullo made public the appeal, following con- ference with International President Robinson. Said the U. s. Time cor1- mittee:
 By refusing to make a decent settlement the American Brass Company is inflicting dire hardship upon thousands of people and at the same time is threatening the gains of all organized labor. We are 100 percent behind the A.B.C. rank and file. Their cause is our cause, and we want to help them win"
 Ready to Resume
 The negotiating committee Is ready to resume bargaining with the company at any time, State CI.O. Secretary John J. Driscon said today. The committee will meet with the company whenever management asks for resumption of collective bargaining, or a1- nounces acceptance of our arbitra- ton offer"
 MT. Driscoll said the company had rejected arbitration of any issues m the dispute. Through Commission CT Maggiolo on Tuesday, he said, the company had given word that 1t wanted no outsiders" having a hand in writing company union contract.
 John J. MankowSki, member Of the unions international executive board, repeated a statement that the next move" is up to the cmopany,
 Commissioner Maggiolo has been at his office in New York since leaving the city Wednesday. Before departing he talked with company officials.
 He plans to be back in Waterbury Monday, if possible, for separate talks with the disputants toward further settlement moves.
 The company negotiators Tuesday afternoon rejected 8 union proposal that an 181a -cent hourly increase be granted to end the strike at once, with negotiation of other contract issues to be continued for IS more days after the return to work, Should there be full agreement lack ing at the end of IS days. the union proposed, the unsettled issues would be turned over for arbitration to an impartial person. If the company and the union were unable to agree on an arbitrator, the unions plan provided for selection of one by Sec- retary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellen- bach.
 The last company offer rejected by the union would grant an 1S1a- cent increase only if agreement was reached on other contract terms suitable to the company" accord ing to Mir. Mankowski.
 The breakdown in settlement parleys Tuesday was the third time this had happened since the start of the A.B.C. strike Feb. 4. Com missioner Maggiolo had brought the parties together twice previously without success.
