Barry Trial
Opens Today
BY VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, April 4.—(UP)—Th
second trial of Joan Barry's charg
es that Charlie Chaplin Is the fathe
of her 18-months old daughter be
gan today with the selection of ;
Judge and jury to hear a rehasi
of the comedian’s romance with hi
one-time protege.
This will be the third time thi
Intimate details of their love af
fair has been given a public heal
ing. They made headlines a yea:
ago when Chaplin won an acquitta
on charges that he violated th(
Mann Act by taking the red-halrec
Miss Barry to New York.
The story was repeatd last Janu
ary In the first trail of her pa
ternity case. The jury failed t<
agree and a second trial was or
dered.
The stories to be told by both side;
were expected to be much the same
as in the previous trial. The onij
unknown factor was whether *
deposition had been obtained from
Hans Reusch, a writer and one ol
the men the defense says also hac
relations with Miss Barry.
Joseph Scott, attorney for Mis;
Barry’s child, in whose name the
suit was brought, said Reusch had
“dropped out of sight.” Charles E
<Pat) Millikan, Chaplin’s counsel
who recently obtained court per
mission to obtain a deposition from
Reusch, said he understood the
writer was in New York, but did
not know whteher he had made the
deposition.
jThe second trial was expected to
get off to a slow start. Selection ol
• Jury probably will take the rest
of the week, with testimony start
ing early next week.
Scott hinted he may spring a few
surprises in his fight to prove
Chaplin should support the baby,
Carol Ann, "as befitting the daugh
8tate OPA Director Stanley Crut%
declared war on black market op
erations two weeks ago.
The opening gun of the drive "to
protect Connecticut's food supplies
from profiteering marauders” was
aimed at 25 retailers who, according
to OPA, possessed more than 600,
000 counterfeit meat rationing
stamps and were summoned to sus
pension hearings in Hartford.
These hearings are now in prog
ress, Crute said.
The latest development in the of
fensive against illegal food opera
tions stems from consumer com
plaints and from regular retail sur
veys made by the price panels of
Connecticut's 180 War Price and
Rationing boards.
“Once we have evidence of over
charging in our hands," the OPA
chief asserted, “we are in a position
to institute treble damage actions
against the price violators if the
overcharged consumer does not do
so. In the 17 cases recently closed,
settlements were reached out of
court and the money has already
been turned over to the U. S. Treas
ury.”
Dozens of other suits are pend
ing, he added.
In all cases, the settlements are
followed up with the issuance of a
license warning notice which, in
effect informs the retailer that fur
their violations of price regulations
will be deemed sufficient cause to
take him to court for the purpose
of revoking his license to do busi
ness, Crute explained.
The settlements ranged from $25
to $350 and covered over-charges
as high as 100 per cent above the
dollars-and-cents ceilings estab
lished on most foodstuffs by OPA.
Sample overcharges listed by
Crute were...60 cents for a pound
of Orade B steak whose top legal
price is 39 cents, 39 cents for mut
ton chops with a ceallng of 24 cents, ]
45 cents for bacon whose ceiling is 1
42 cents.
“Looking at the overcharges
singly,” Crute pointed out, “the av
erage person may consider them in
significant. A few cents above ceil
ing on a small sale may seem hardly
worth worrying about.
“But multiply a two-cent over
charge on bacon by the number of
customers who buy bacon from a
fairly busy store in the course of a
week and you have a surprisingly
large amount of money. It's this
accumulation of pennies that keeps
the black market going.
“If every housewife would re
member this, it would be a big help
the to Insure a fair
distribution of the available food
supply, especially the acutely short
supply of meat.”

Presentation Ceremonies; Mayor Joins in Tribute
Impressive ceremonies were con
ducted In the Waterbury District

when the Unico Club presented an
American flag to the court in recog

to the “splendid work done by this
court and its humane attempts to
understand the problems brought
before it . . . and also to the splen
did work done by Miss Crowley.”
In accepting the flag. Judge

assistance rendered by various
groups of the city in establishing
the court here. He stated the city
and school officials, service clubs i
and various welfare units have co- :
operated in getting the Juvenile :

Pointing out that the court is
concerned with men in the service
and with children of men in the
service. Judge Faulkner added the

EVIDENCE START
IN DAMAGE SUITS
Four Plaintiffs Seek Dam=
ages Totaling $47,500;
Auto Crash Blamed
Trial of two companion suits, in
which four plaintiffs seeks a total
of $47,500 damages from Eileen
McDonald and Rocco LeoGrande,
both of Waterbury, opened in su
perior court early this afternoon be
fore Judge John A. Cornell and a
Jury of five women and seven men.
The litigation is based on a col
lision between cars of the two de- *
fendants last December 3 on Plank 1
road, also referred to as Hamilton c
Park road. i
One of the suits 1s brought by f
Nicholas Catapano, who seeks $15,- 1
000, Carmella Catapano, who also ,
asks for $15,000, and Theresa Leo- }
Grande, who seeks $10,000. All J
were passengers in the car driven I
by LeoGrande. J
The other action, in which dam- ■
ages of $7,500 are sought, is brought I
by Marguerite E. Atkinson of Wa
terbury, a passenger in the Mc
Donald car.
Two other suits resulted from
the same accident. One of them, *
in which, Miss McDonald sought 1
$2,500 from LeoGrande, ended in *
common pleas court last week, and *
decision was reserved. Another r
me, brought by Mary O’Rourke of J
Waterbury against Miss McDon
ald, is pendnlg in the common pleas C
:ourt. Damages of $2,500 are sought 1
also in that case. e
Negligence is charged against 1
both drivers in the suits which c
apened today. Extensive injuries
are listed by the four plaintiffs.
Mrs. Theresa LeoGrande, wife ol
he driver and plaintiff in one ol
he actions, was the first witness to
.ake the stand.
Attorney William B. Fitzgerald
appears for Miss Atkinson, whilt
Mtomey Edward Mascolo and At
orney Francis B. Feeley represent
he other plaintiffs. Appearing fa
he defendants are Attorney Ml
:hael A. Ciano, Attorney j. War
en Upson, and Attorney Walter X
donag^n.
are doing such a fine job.”
Mayor John S. Monagan, who
witnessed the ceremonies, stated the
Unlco club was unique not only be
cause it presented the flag but be
cause “it has turned its attention
to one of the most fundamental
concepts of citizenship—the welfare
of the children of the community.'’
He stated the flag was “a badge
of distinction for the work which
Judge Faulkner and Miss Crowley
have done.”
Miss Crowley expressed gratitude
for the tribute rendered her by the
organization, and cited the names
of several persons who have aided
the juvenile court in its work. Men
tioned were the late Judge John F.
McGrath, former City Court Judge
Edward Mascolo, Judge T. E. Con
way, former City .Court Judge John
L. Gaffney, and Edward Rlccuiti,
former probation officer and now
the city school psychologist. Praise
for the office workers also was
voiced.
Brief remarks also were made by
rax Collector Humbert Mangini
snd Small Claims Court Clerk Pas
luale DeCicco.
Mr. Mangini recalled the set-up
)f the old Juvenile court, which was
stationed near the police headquar
ters. He stated it was commend
ible that the present quarters bear
10 resemblance to a court, and that
oungsters who appear do not see
ail bars or have the feeling they
ire being arrested.
