Wilhelm Case BeforeJ Judge
 Justice Must
 Decide Problem

Judge Thomas E. Troland was presented the problem in Superior Court today of deciding whether the Wilhelm support action should be tried by court or jury.
 Attorney Irving W. Pasternak, counsel for the socially prominent Mrs. Juliette 'vizetelly Wilhelm, asked to have the litigation heard by jury, while Attorney Harry Spellman, who represents Bernhard Wilhelm. her husband and a local optician, asked for a trial by court.
 Judge Troland reserved decision, after referring to the numerous questions of law which the court must decide in the case and com- menting that some of the issues were factual and could be tried by a jury. The defendant's lawyer claimed that it was a discretionary matter up to the jurist to decide whether plaintiff should have his request for a jury trial granted.
 The Wilhelms also are parties in a divorce action. It was brought by the optician, who charges intolera- ble cruelty.

 agency budget was studied by the committee dn the light. of how 1t fitted in with the amount of money raised and how its services affected the community as a whole. Some oi the agencies have not been cut at all from their revised budgets, he stated.
 One cut of $500 was made from the budget for campaign and ad- ministrative expenses of the Com munity Chest itself. The chest had asked for $27,3 $40 and will actually receive $26,s4O for l947 expenses.
 Northrup emphasized that al- though the agencies are receiving Si9, ,992 more than they did for l946, they will still not be able to expand their services next year. The in- creases in food, supplies and sal aries brought on by the general rise in the cost of living at present. will expend this additional sum.
 The l046 campaign actually raised $346, ,899.77. Subtracted from this is $l5.OOO for shrinkage in col- lections and a $30.000 general con- tingency fund. However, in l046 SIS, 100 was saved on authorized op- erations which could not be pro- vided because of a manpower short age An additional $l0.033 remained from the l946 contingency fund and $34.656 in accumulated surplus Is being used to make up the budget for next year.

Judges Lecture to Youth Rebuke to DiUOrce Seekers

Judge Thomas E. Troland made an indirect attack against divorce in a courtroom packed with divorce litigants today, when he sentenced the son of divorced parents to the Cheshire Reformatory.
 T don tdoubt that if your mother and father had continued to live together you would not be as you are and ,wou would not be here today" he told l7-year-old Arthur Larrivee, formerly of A Willow Street. who pleaded guilty to a charge Of theft of a car.
 In the courtroom, waiting im- patiently to be heard. were parties, witnesses and lawyers in % uncon- tested divorce actions. Even stand ing room was at a premium. as parties in numerous other types of cases also waited for hearings.
 Paid Visit tO Father
 Larrivee. a clean-cut youth. was charged with taking a car owned by Harold Aldrich from a Nauga- tuck Parking lot Nov. 27 to make a Thanksgiving Day trip to Man chester, N H., to visit his father.
 The youth just 6 few days before had been given chance by the court to make good. He had been brought in for a hearing as to whether or not a suspension of a reformatory sentence imposed last January should continue. The court decided at that time to keep the youth on probation.
 Said Judge Troland today: You let me down. But you not only let me down, but you let down every young man who comes before the court where the problem is what to do to him."
 The other you I thought you were just a little boy. You looked frightened. I didn't like to see a young man be that way. I wanted to help you"
 Then the jurist commented that he didn't doubt that if the boys parents had continued their mar riage and he had continued to live with them he would not have got- ten into trouble.
 keep Your Chin Up"
 T know there are circumstances in your case which require atten- tion," the judge said. adding. how ever. that punishment finally was in order.
 "They may not keep you long in the reformatory. It is up to you. Keep your chin up when you get out. and don't do this again" Judge Troland concluded. :,
 Larrivee last Jan. 8 had pleaded guilty to five counts of taking a motor vehicle without permission. He drew the probationary term ana a suspended sentence. The suspen- sion was revoked today.
 Larrivee was picked up by Man chester police shortly after he ar rived at his fathers home. Both his father and mother are remar- ried.

Judge O.K.s S2OOO,Aword

Judge John T. Dwyer today de- nied a motion to set aside a aerdict of 5000 returned by a Common Pleas Court jury Oct. 3l for Dr. Louis J. Thibault, Waterbury den- tist, against Mrs. Neva Wilson and her son, Robert, both of this city.
 The judged ruled that the amount was not excessive. He said, however, that 1t, twas liberal and generous in view of the brief period of partial incapacity." He added that if the jury believed that the dentist still suffers from his original injury then it could not be said that the verdict twas so clearly excessive as to war rnat interference by the court"
 The suit resulted from an acci- dent Feb. IT, 1941 on East Main Street, near Hendricken School. The dentists car was struck from the rear by one operated by Robert Will son, and 1t in turn struck a parked bus. The bus company was eXoner- ated of liability by the jury.

 Rattling Was No Different
 Attorney Michael Blansfield who represented Kudulus, based his de- fense on the assumption that the mans vehicle, so old and rattling, made too much noise for the man to have heard when he struck the stan- dard.
