Waterbury Commando
For Son Of Nippon
Restaurant Becomes Battlefield in Which Innocent
Victim Suffers Severe Reverses; Four Charges
Against “American Army”
His anxiety to “get” a Jap, who turned out to be
Charles Chin, a local Chinaman, led today to a 10-day
jail sentence and a $45 fine for John Hanley, 27, of Water
bury, who was reported to have had 27 previous entangle
ments with the law.

juries on the victim's face, back, and
legs
The accused then proceeded to
slap and knock down a waitress and
took a swing at a police officer who
was summoned, the prosecutor re
lated. It took two policemen to sub
due him, lie said.
Following a lengthy plea for leni
ency by Defense Counsel, Ralph
Coppeto, Judge McNlff inquired
about the jail record of the accused

COMIC OPERA IS
BOOKED FOR JAN. 9
‘The Merry Wives of Wind=
sor’ Next Concert in
Fine Arts Series
• The Merry Wives of Windsor"
presented by the 9 O’Cloch Opera
Company is the next concert in the
Fine Arts Series in tills city, the
event to take place Tuesday evening
January 9, at 8; 30 o'clock at the
Waterbury Women’s Club.
The Nicolai comedy adapted from
the famous Shakespeare play will be
sung by an all-American cast of well
trained American singers. As a
comic opera it lias always been a
favorite one- with its bright lines
and with its comic episodes. It was
first produced in 1849 at the Phila
delphia Academy of Music. The
often heard sparkling overture Is a
program favorite. The story, quite
familiar, deals with Mrs. Ford and
Mrs. Page and the rotund Knight
Falstafr and some love letters. The
plot lends itself admirably to the
musical setting.
The Mattatuck Musical Art So
ciety is sponsoring "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" which is the
third concert in the Fine Arts Series
in the 1944-45 season.

A hearing was held in the State

ing in the East End zoning appeal

Appeals of the City of Waterbury

when it permitted the Sycamore
concern to make an addition iO the
building which houses the First Na
tional Super-Market. The court up
held the claims of the plaintiffs,
and its decision in effect was an or
der for demolition ol the addition.
All action in regard to the building
was held up, however, by institu

‘FORTUNE-TELLER’
‘GYPPED’ BY CARDS
No Warning That Patrons
Were Cops; Fine Reduced
From $50 to $ 15
Unforeseen entrance of four state j
troopers before her fortune-telling i
cards flashed a warning signal led
to the arrest of Mrs. Elizabeth Cur
ry of Prospect, it was revealed in
common pleas court today when the
woman appeared to appeal a fine of
$50 and a suspended 30-day jail
sentence imposed in the Prospect
town court.
All went well In the illegal $l-a
fortune business of the accused
fortune-teller until a policeman ap
peared on the scene and had his
fortune told, Judge Miles P. McNiff
was told by Prosecuting Attorney
William J. Larkin.
The cop went out and came back
with three of his colleagues for an
other session before the "reveal
ing" cards, it seems. Then the fire
works came.
The prosecuting attorney, who
said the charge was not a very se
rious one, preferred instead to make
the mentality of fortune-tellers’ pa
trons the butt of his remarks. He
stated. "If anyone will be fool
enough to go to a fortune-teller ic
spend a dollar out of his well-earn
ed money to see how someone
should kid him then he should get
fooled once in a while ... he shows
a mentality which isn’t worth very
much."
Stating the town court's treat
ment of Mrs. Curry was too harsh,
the prosecutor hesitantly began to
say "The fine should be 15 or 25
dollars ... 1
"Make it 15, Your Honour", cut
in Attorney John F. Tobin, defense
counsel.
And $15 it was, as the jurist and
spectators looked on smilingly.
The unanswered question was
"What did she tell the cops."
R. I. Primary Bill
Faces Legislature
Providence, 11. 1, Jan. 2—'UPi
A Democratic - sponsored direct
primary bill which would abolish
the state's current caucus and con
vention system of nominating poli
tical candidates appeared to be the
most significant measure before the
Rhode Island legislature which
met today.
Democrats were optimistic over
passage of the bill which also has
the endorsement of several repub
Ucans In both the assembly wnere
the Democratlcs are in control and
in the Republican-dominated sen
ate.
Scheduled lor early debate is
the matter of appropriations to
various state departments. The
federal ban on horse racing which
last year net the state some $3,400,
000 is expected to put a decided
crimp in the legislature's budget
ary plans.
Another issue before the body is
Rhode Island's set-up for providing
cash sickness payments which re
cently lias been subjected to criti
cism. everul amendments which
would make collections more dif
ficult to obtain have been filed.

the end of the conflict still was far ■
Earlier in he year there had been
several interruptions to the rise
based mainly on "peace scares."
Wall Street would welcome peace
and resumption of civilian output,
but the trading element fears that
the transition period may be a diffi

of the war appeared in sight they
sold stocks as a precautionary meas
ure.
Experts are agreed that the new
year may have similar unsettling

selective trading.
The post-war era is expected to
find the United States swinging
more and more to an internation

Since the United State* entered

Bond valuation has increased con
