Rasmussen  Decision
 Plans 10 Fight
 Ruling of
 Zoning Boord

An appeal was filed in Common Pleas Court today by Floyd H. Ras- mussen of Waterbury, who was de- nied permission by the city building inspector and the Board of Zoning Appeals to operate cinder block factory on Bradley Avenue.
 Rasmussen claims that the build ing in question was used for pro- duction of brass goods at the time the city building zone ordinance was adopted, and that it was used as a carpenter shop from 1883 tc last June.
 Rasmussen started to use the building for the cinder block manu- featuring last May, and was ordered during July to stop the activity. He then appealed to the zoning unit which upheld the building inspector in a decision Sept. 30.
 Pending the decision from the zoning unit, Rasmussen started 8 cinder block factory in another section of the city.
 In an appeal from the decision of the Board of zoning Appeals Rasmussen claims that the board acted "unreasonably, arbitrarily, ano illegally, and in abuse of the dis cretion imposed on it." He claim. the decision is contrary to the in- tent and purpose of the zoning or dinance and of the enabling act un. der which the zoning act was adopt. ed.

 Payments of
 AIimony Must
 Be "On Time"

Bernhard Wilhelm, local optome- trist. was warned by Superior Court Judge Thomas E. Troland today that any further failure to pay his wife alimony "on time" would lead to im- prisonment for contempt of court.
 Wilhelm was ordered to appear in court today and show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt for failing to pay an accumulated debt of $450 to his wife, Mrs. Ju- liette Vizetelly Wilhelm, whom he is suing for divorce.
 Attorney Harry Spellman, counsel for the optometrist, informed Judge Troland after the order was made that the sum had been paid.
 The jurist said today that he nevertheless ordered Wilhelm to come to court, SC he could be warn ed. "The court :elt there was some disposition on your part not to com- ply with the. order for payment" :" Judge Troland commented, after calling Wilhelm before the bench.
 The jurist said the court order was more than an order for pay ment of money. Tt was an order for payment of money at a certain definite time"
 Wilhelm was ordered Sept. 20 to pay his wife $75 weekly as tempor- ary alimony, and $500 as counsel fees, half of the counsel allowance within two weeks.

Sen. Murray Calls Price Plan Failure
 Brass Industry
 Of Waterbury Hit
 By Quoto Delays

Administration of the Premium Price Plan has broken down, U. S.. Senator James c. Murray of Mon- tana charged yesterday in tele- gram to James E. Webb, director of the Bureau of the Budget.
 Inefficient operation of the plan and conflict between agencies have resulted in heavy loss of metal and money to mine operators and con- suming industries, Senator Murray declared. Under the Premium Price Plan, subsidies are paid for mining of copper, zinc and lead.
 The brass industry in the Water bury area depends on steady flow of copper and zinc from the mines and refineries. The industry in gen. eral can be expected to support MT. Murray's protest, since there have been many complaints of delays in quota revisionS and on other counts.
 Senator Murray declared that ad- ministration of the Premium Price Plan has completely broken down due to lack of employees, complicat- ed organizations and involved rules" He said he had recommend ed reorganization more than a year ago, and has held recent confer ences with the OPA, CPA and OMWR, to no avail.
 Said the Democratic senator: "A substantial amount of our metal production depends on smooth op- eration of the plan and I cannot stress too strongly immediate need for reform"

Few Drivers Obeying Low
 Lack of Signals
 Cousinq Accidents

Too few motor vehicle operators today obey the Connecticut regula- tion requiring signals by drivers to warn following traffic of impending changes in direction of the vehicles they are operating, according to William M. Greene, Director of the Highway Safety Commission.
 This driving fault causes many accidents, he states, because in to- days crowded traffic vehicles are so close to one another that any sudden change in movement by a car generally finds the driver imme- diately behind unprepared and a rear end collision results:
 In survey just completed by the staff of the Highway Safety Com- mission it is reported 34 out of 3e states replying to the questionnaire require hand signals, not all of the same type, however. There are five different types of hand signals re- quired throughout the country al- though the variations are not so wide as to cause confusion if drivers are alert, according to the report.
 Compliance with the hand signal today is not satisfactory in any of the states, principally it Is believed because of the letdown in driving standards permitted during wartime years. With cool and indictment weather ahead the report states that use of hand signals will be even more desultory because of car win dows being closed.
 Twelve of the states contacted re- port arrest action when accidents result from failure of drivers to use hand signals. In New England hand signals are not required by law in Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

 Eyes of Crippled
 Mother BIockened
 By Her Son, 38

Peter Masnickes, 38, of White Rose Avenue, 8 graduate of Chesh- ire Reform School and, since 1929, constantly in and out of the tolls of the law, was assured today that he would not be arrested for at least a year. Masnickes, arraigned before Judge John L. Gaffney in City Court this morning, on charges of assault and breach of the peace, was committed to New Haven County Jail for one year.
 Officials, spectators and just plain hangers on were hushed this morn ing as Masnickes' mother, aged, crippled and in poor health, told through the court interpreter how, at the hands of her son, she re- ceived two blackened eyes that were in full view of the court.
 The woman, unable to remember her age, testified that she was in her late eos. She said that her son asked her for money yesterday and when she refused, because her husband was not working, he as- sautled her She said she fled to nearby neighbors who summoned police.
 When officers Vincent Begg and Peter Griffin arrived at the White Rose Avenue home they found the woman bruised-and the son asleep. Masnickes today denied his guilt but admitted that he had been drinking. He said he came home and found that his mother had been beaten, but said he was ignor- ant of how it happened.
 The accused, twice sentenced to the reform school and arrested on several other violations, was previ- ously sentenced to jail for one year in Superior Court after assaulting his mother. At that time he was charged iii City Court with assault with intent to rob.

Million Embryo Chicks Die for InfIuenza Vaccine

Pearl River, N. Y, Oct. 16-(UP) -One million embryo chicks will be sacrificed here during the next few months in cause designed to com- bat what is expected to be this country's worst influenza epidemic since 1918.
 Girls in white are handling the dangerous influenza virus, but are helping to produce powerful vac- cine which may save the lives of thousands of Americans.
 This is the same vaccine that the government used in vaccinating 100000 men and women of the armed forces during the World War. Tests have proved that about 75 percent of those inoculated with the egg culture vaccine were im- munized against influenza.
 This meant keeping our soldiers in fighting trim and on the front.
 Now this medical science discov- cry, developed during war time, is being applied for civilian benefit. All the large biological houses in the country are manufacturing the product.
 One of those houses is the Lederle Laboratories, subsidiary of the American Cyanamid Company Warned by epidemiologists that the country may expect widespread out breaks of the type A influenza in- fection-the worst type-during the coming Winter months, this labora- tory is working at great speed in preparing the vaccine.
 At the present time, about 5000 fertile eggs with 11-day incubation are being inoculated daily with the influenza virus and subsequently, tne vaccine thus created is being with drawn from these eggs, purified and prepared for human use.
