Coroner Says Daily
 To Blame for Death

Already facing charges of assault and manslaughter in connection with the death July 3 of 58-year- old Michael McKenna of the State Hotel, Edward Daly, 46, of the same addres, was today found respon- sible for the death of McKenna in a finding handed down by Deputy Coroner William F. Jones, Jr.
 Said the Coroner's report: q find that the death of the deceased was approximately caused by the criminal act of said Daly."
 Daly, presently at liberty on bonds of $500, is scheduled for appear ance in City Court Tuesday.
 Coroner Jones finding states that On the night of the assault, Daly approached the entrance to the ho- tel and found his progress impeded by McKenna. The report contin- ues that McKenna. without ap- parent cause, assaulted the said Daly by kicking him, and inflicting a minor injury to his left outer calf" Daly, says the finding, then struck the deceased, walked away and returned about 10 minutes later to find McKenna again blocking the entrance.
 The Coroner's finding was based on the second approach of Daly to the hotel entrance when he, "ap- prehensive of further assault by the deceased, Daly struck the deceased a second time, causing him to fall to the sidewalk"
 McKenna's head struck the side walk, and the man sustained frac- tured skull. He died 10 days later on July at St. Mary's Hospital of "a fractured skull and intrac- ranial hemorrhage."
 From the physical facts then and there presented, concludes the finding" Daly's apprehension of second attack from the deceased was unwarranted and his subse- quent assault upon the deceased un- justified"

Attempt to Loot
 Post Office Seen

A possible attempt to loot the Waterbury Post Office was made night The Democrat learn ed today. An inventory has shown that nothing apparently was stolen but the case has been referred to postal inspectors for investigation.
 Soon after Watehman had re- ported seeing two prowlers in the spacious mail room of the Federal Building at Grand Street and Cot tage, a glass panel above the postal cashiers window was found broken.
 The Democrat learned that De- teetiVe Edward McElligott was as signed to make an Investigation for the police. Chief Inspector Jo- seph R. Bender of the Detective Bureau was unwilling to discuss the case today and said that no formal report on the possible attempted break has been filed.
 Police are said to incline to the theory that boys were responsible for the broken panel above the cash ier's window, which fronts on the main lobby. It is not known wheth- CT there is any direct connection be- tween the shattered glass and the watchman's report of the providers in the building.
 A ramp is now being erected from the rear yard into the building, and it is thought the pair seen by the watchman may have entered the Post Office by climbing the scaffold- ing now standing. there. ..-
 Postal officials are customarily unwilling to discuss any possible crimes involving the mails, and ad- ditional details of the possible burg lary attempt could not be obtained.

Warning Welfare Head To Wait Mayors Retur1,

Return of Mayor John s. Mona gan from his vacation in California is awaited before action is taken on the apointment of a new Superin- tendent of Public Welfare to suc- ceed the late Martin F. Hayden. The Mayor is expected back before the next meeting of the Board of Pub lie Welfare, scheduled for Tuesday night.
 One suggestion to be presented to the Mayor is that the post of assist ant superintendent be set up. Under this plan, the board could appoint a trained social worker as superin- tendent, then name an experienced member of the department as assist ant.
 This is in effect, the set-up rec commended by the survey staff of the Community Survey Associates, after lengthy study of local social and welfare agencies last year. The non- partisan survey group recommended

Stote Boord
 Under Probe

Hartford Aug. 8. CUP)-Gov Raymond E. Baldwin said today that he had ordered an inquiry into the practices and policies of the State Board of Natureopathic Ex- aminers and that he would per- sonally conduct a hearing to be held Aug. 19 at the Capitol.
 The investiga tion, he said, would center on the policies of the board in admitting out-of state natureo- pathic physicians to Connecticut practice
 Assisting the Governor will be Attorney General William H. Had den and State Health Commissioner Stanley H. Osborn.
 The inquiry is an outgrowth of Commissioner Osborn's refusal sev- eral weeks ago to grant licenses to two South Carolina natureo- pathic physicians to practice in this state under reciprocity agree ment. The superior court, however, directed him to grant the licenses on grounds that the regulations of the board permitted no other course.

Britons Put
 Up Blockade Of Palestine
Drastic Measures Adopted to Holt Illegal Entry

Washington, Aug. 8-(UP)-Great Britain has informed the United States that she has taken drastic steps to halt illegal entry of Jews into Palestine. Onformed sources reported today.
 According to these sources, the British government informed the State Department that all ships carrying Jews in excess of a 1,500 monthly quota will be diverted from Palestine harbors to the Island of Cyprus.
 Unofficial spokesmen did not in- terpret the British action as an at- tempt to influence the outcome of conferences here regarding the eX- plosive Palestine situation.
 Truman to Meet Group
 President Truman was scheduled to confer today with U. s. members of an Anglo-American committee in an effort to reach compromise on the British proposal to divide Pal estine into four federated states. Other matters related to the Pal estine crisis also will be discussed.
 Before the American delegation to the Anglo oAmerican Committee meets with the President, it will make final attempt to reconcile differences it has encountered with a special three-man committee headed by Dr. Henry F. Grady, for mer assistant secretary of state. Grady's group acts as deputies for a so-called cabinet committee ap- pointed by the President to study the Jewish problem.
 Differences between the deputies and the American delegation stem from varying recommendations they made for solution of the Pale stine situation.
 Ask Admittances First
 The American committee members some time ago recom- mended to their respective govern ments that 100000 Jews be admit ted to Palestine before other prob lens were considered. They Sug- gested that the Holy Land be brought under United Nations trusteeship and that admission be open to everyone, regardless Of race, creed or national origin.
 The deputies, on the other hand, joined the British in recommending that Palestine be divided into four states. They also agreed with the British that admission of the Jews

 Sources familiar with the long, detailed negotiations here attach some significance to the fact that the deputies are serving for the cab met committee, which is composed of Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Secretary of Treasury John w. Snyder and Secretary ot War Robert P. Patterson.

 Tn CT n i onal Representa- e Robert Hart and President Joseph Galasso of the local said that the union is ready to strike if the com- panies are unwilling to meet the union terms. Strikes against Con- tinental and General would cut the local bread supply by large per- centage.

strongly that college-trained ap. pointee be named.
 Candidates mentioned thus far for the S3,60O a year post of superin- tendent are Probation Officers Hen- " Begnal, who has had welfare training; Wallace Inglis, chief clerk of the department; and Nicholas Zappone, case worker for the de- partment. Others named in specula- tion are Attorney Catherine DeLeon and Miss Helen Driscoll, both of whom have had training in social work.
 With some members of the board ready to insist that the new super intendent be someone who has had intensive training in the social work field, it is considered likely that the Mayor also will adhere to this view. In this case, appointment of an as- sistant superintendent would find MT. Inglis and MT. Zappone as the leading candidates.

LiberoIized Ballot Rules Bitterly Hit
 Red Delegation
 Considers Plon
 Erroneous

Paris, Aug. S-(UP)--Sov. jet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov today renewed his fight against liberalized vot- ing rules by demanding that the peace conference reverse the hard-fought decision of it's Rules Commission.
 Molotov brought into the plenary session of the peace conference the same demand that he had repeatedly made in the Rules Commission-that delegates reject the proposal allow ing the conference to send recom- mendations to the Council Of Min isters by simple majority as well as by a two-thirds vote.
 Georges Bidault, Frence foreign minister, brought the plenary ses- sion to order and called for an inl- mediate vote on the rules. Molo- toy, however, asked for permission to speak
 Insists on Change
 The Soviet delegation" MoIotov said, considers the decision adopt ed in the procedural commission as erroneous and insists on the con- ference changing that erroneous decision.
 MolotoV,s attitude contrasted sharply with that of Herbert V. Evatt, Australian foreign minister and leader of the small nations fight for liberalization of voting rules.
 EVatt expressed satisfaction with the outcome of his battle despite "filibustering opposition"
 MolotoV said that Russia "can- not agree that the conference can adopt any recommendation by one vote--that Il nations can impose , their will On 21"
 Shoulders Blame
 He recognized that it was diffi- cult to achieve unanimity of all q nations but said the Soviet will not deviate from the principle of unanlmity'' because it is in the in- terest of both great and small na- tions and of the millions of con- mon people who led us to victory and now are waiting for a durable | peace"
 Molotov said the United States and Great Britain must bear the main responsibility for the ,'griev- ous error" by the Rules CommissSn in deciding to allow recommenda- tions to be adopted by simple majority as well as a two- thirds vote
 He reminded the delegates that conference recommendations would not be binding on the Big Four, even if they received two-thirds vote. In effect he was holding up to the little countries the fact that the Soviet Union. in the final anal ysis, has the power of veto over any decisions made here.
 He demanded that the conference reject the commissions proposal on voting procedure and return to the i original Big Four suggestion that all recommendations of the con- ference must receive a two-thirds vote.
 He said the British and Amer jeans were not forced at the Big Four meeting to agree with the "decision,'' but did so and at this conference both delegations re- pudiated the agreed decisions"
