Girl Sees Mother Stranded,
Escapes Death by AssuiIunt

That clue, together with a de-
scription furnished by a taxicab
driver who, Sergt. Monahan re-
ported, had taken Mrs. Cronin and
a man to the Cronin home, gave
police a lead in their search for
the stranger, the sergeant said.
When first questioned, Sergt.
Monahan asserted Eleanor was
nearly hysterical and led officers
to believe the killer had gained
entrance through a window and
that he first tried to attack her,
bringing her mother to her aid.
Later, he added, Eleanor was able
to give coherent account of the
Staying.
Although scores of heavily armed
police surrounded the district within
minutes after receiving a report
of the killing, the slayer was not

Corporal Punishment
Suggested 10 Cut High
Army Disease Rate
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, July 13.-American
Army officers expressed the belief to-
day that corporal punishment was
the only way to stem sharp rise iE
venereal disease among American
troops in Europe, which the ONCE of
the theater's chief surgeon said was
probably the highest in American
military history"
The officers revealed unofficially
that recommendations for severe
punishment of soldiers who contract
such diseases had been sent to
Washington, including confinement
in stockades.
But" they said, cit probably
would take an act of Congress to
impose corporal punishment, which
now appears to be the only way to
stop the increase"
The chief surgeons report said
that the trend still was upward, de-
spite disciplinary breakdown or
dered three months ago by Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney, theater COM
mander.
On June Is the average rate of
infection in Europe was ZIG per cent
over years time. This was an in
crease of So over the figure an
nounced April Is, when Gen. Nc
Narney ordered a strict return to
garrison life.
But in some areas the figure is
more than twice the average" a
medical officer said. He added that
more than half the troops in some
areas were infected in the course of
year.
The Army attributes the rising
rate to the decreasing number of
troops in relation to the number of
promiscuous women: the youth and
relative responsibility of troop re-
placements; the high disease rate
among German civilians because of
State sponsored promiscuity under
the Nezi regime. food shortages
causing girls to trade themselves for
chocolate bars. and the faulty but
widespread faith of soldiers in peni-
cillin as a cure for venereal diseases.

1t was Mr.. Baruch who made the
broadest hint that the atomic con-
ferees might seek new means of
overcoming Russia's opposition to
yielding the veto and that the U. N
might be shaken up to conform with
the developments of the atomic age.
Mr.. Baruch first reiterated that
he was concerned with the veto
power only as it affects atomic
energy, and added:
II digress here to remind all of
us that when the United Nations
was founded the atomic bomb was
unknown. Therefore, it is apparent
that the processes set up in the
Charter did not-could not-deal
with this pregnant subject.
1T is obvious that an offender
should be debarred from sitting in
Judgment in his own guilt"
DIR. Evatts Position.
DR.. Evatt said fatty that the
United States "alone possesses
atomic weapons" and added that q
mere convention providing atomic
disarmament as proposed by Russia
would apply in fact only against the
United States.
He added his opinion that II
would be legally and practically i'm
possible for the Security Council S
functions to be enlarged in order
to include the multifarious and de-
tailed executive decisions involved
in the administration of a treaty
for the control and development OF
atomic energy. =" If, however
the control system of the interna.
tional agency were shown in.
adequate or ineffective, the ma.
chinery Of the Security Council
would be invoked"
DR.. Evatt strongly supported tn,

BY BE4TY BLANCHARD

AS every style-conscious Water bury woman knows, La Belle Spring ot ls4e is ushering in a new "era of
 curves" and hips which seemed all but extinct during the lean war years.
 Every wise woman also knows that the designers always assist na- ture and their beloved patrons in emphasizing the latest decrees of Dame Fashion. And they have not Tailed this year. Shirrings and folds are not only used on dress bodices ana Jackets, now being shown for spring, but also generously on the skirt to give the illusion of the larger bust and hips, which also tends to produce that much-desired erect of the fashionable wasp waits. @
 Prettier than mother
 But underneath the can1ouflage are wornen's figures really changing? Local StylStS, who remember tog- gtng out mother when she was Q "girl", say yes-but definitely.
 And they alsN declare-with no waver1ng-that her daughter is far more beautiful. Not that the ladies' ot the golden era of the hobble- skirt and fishtail formal gowns didn't cut'a figure. But it is a fact that the present crop of lassieS, reared on an abundance of cod liver otl, vitamins, and a well-balanced diet have more lustrious hair, bet- ter teeth, and a far more beautiful complexion than their mothers.
 But to get back to figures, local ShopkeeperS and Salesgirls, who have been fitting frocks to figures for many year. report that the present crop of beauties boast a much simmer and taller figure than the ladies' of the '20's or earl Ter and furthermore they retain that slim silhouette longer. Size IA IS as popular today as the. perfect 50" was in former years. Fifty per cent of the patterns sold in local stores are also in 14's and l6's and there iS no age limit to those who buy them.
 Simmer and taller
 The ideal figure today meets the following measurements: 34-inch bust, A inch waist, and hips about 34 inches.
 It Is also noted that modern Wa- terbury girl is several inches taller than the ladies' of yesteryears. She also has broader shoulders, narrow CT haps-and sad to contemplate--a thicker waistline and much larger feet. One shoe store manager de- clared the belle of a quarter of . century ago would have crammed her pedal extremitieS into footwear

Figures Of Local Women
 Changing, Notes StvLiSt

two or. three sizes too small before she would be seen in a size 01k. The popular range of sizes in shoes prior to World War I was sizes four to six.
 What has produced this change in the figures of Waterbury women? Some stylists admitted candidly they didn't know Others declared the transformation has been SO in- teresting they have made a study of 1t.
 Here is the theory of the erst- while students and experts on the subject of feminin, figures.
 Women today are much more athletic than their. mothers. A woman of yesteTyear would have Swooned on her pallowed couch could she had viewed her female progeny whacking tennis ball, ping.pong ball, or agof ball. Water sports for most women Up to the early twen- ties comprised dipping 8 toe in the surf while completed covered with fabric.
 Add to the slImming effects of year-round exercise the fact that reducing salons have substantially aided and abetted the modern wom- an to retain her willowy silhouette.
 Pain Fer Beauty
 Riding an iron horse, which pulls, stretches, and whacks the anatomy in different directions, all at the, same time, produces a multitude of agonies that only the modern female Spartan can endure, but 1t gets desired results.
 It has also been said that if the modern woman took the beating from her, spouse that she suffers under the strong hand of today's masSeuses she would immediately sue for divorce. Hence 1t may be concluded that today's. wom- an cherishes that slim figure far beyond the joys of connubial bliss.
 Also tending to slenderi1e the feminine figure, point out the local sages, is the fact that a great num- Der of women are working and all are far more active than their mothers or grandmothers. Long hours of leasure pile on the pound- age. r.<
 Furthermore, working women, away from home and their Kitchens throughout the day, are not tempt ed as their mothers were to taste and sample and indulge in snackS at odd hours.
 Tn short, both by the decree of accident and design, women have at the A milestone where many of the tendencies toward ex- pansion no longer exist.
 As one local shopkeeper put it so ably, Its all a part of a chang ing world.
