THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 3. 1952 THE NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS. TRANSCRIPT FIVE First of Six Checks Stolen From Garage Handed to Police The first of six blank checks stolen from- the Braytonville garage last Surulajf night and allegedly filled in and" cashed by 21- year-old Joseph Cimonetti of Williamstown, has filtered back through the banks and has been turned over to police. Chief John F. Flaherty said this check was for $52.37 and was cashed at Jack Goldberg's Army and Navy store on Eagle street by Cimonetti.

Monday. It was made out to ''Jack Vernon," and signed by "Donald Cimonetto," both fictitious names. The chief quoted Cimonetti as admitting he told Goldberg he was "Jack Vernon," and was a mechanic employed at the Braytonv'lle garage. He used this name when ne endorsed the check, chief said. Cimonetti, his 18-year-old wife, Rose, her brother, Fred Larabee, 17, and another 15 year old brother admitted seven breaks when they appeared in district court yesterday.

The two men were bound over to the grand jury, Mrs. Cimonetti's case was continued for two weeks and the 15-year-old brother was turned over to the Youth Service board. The Braytonville garage was one of the places the group admitted entering. Chief Flaherty said today that Cimonetti allegedly told him they stole six blank checks from the place, filled them in for various amounts and cashed them here and in Adams on Monday. The six checks totaled more than $200, the chief said, but he added he can not be sure of the exact amount until the checks all filtered through the banks.

West Main Street Man Given 90-Day Suspended Term Armand Alves, 29, of 386 West Main street was given a 90-day suspended sentence to the house of correction by Judge John E. Magenis in district court this morning for assaulting his wife. The judge warned Alves that he would be committed to jail if he beat his wife again. Alves pleaded not guilty when arraigned but was found guilty.

Mrs. Alves said she is living with her parents in Adams but came to North Adams to visit her husband on New Year's day. She did not say what caused the assault nor how it occurred but showed Magenis where her face had been cut and bruised and accused her husband of doing it. She admitted that both she and her husband have been drinking heavily for the past year and estimated they had spent about $4,000 in the past six months. She blamed the drinking on grief over the death of a three-year-old son, but said that whenever her husband has a "few drinks he blacks out and liis fists swing right and left." Legislative Leaders Serious About Ending Session in 6 Months Boston leaders indicated yesterday they are serious in their announcement that efforts will be made to wind up the 1952 session of the legislature in six months.

The plan is to hold both morning and afternoon committee meetings to hear bills on a five- day-week basis for the first month, with house and senate in session only once a week to act on pending bills. House Speaker O'Neill served notice that the leadership is going to watoh the members' attendance at the two-a-day hearing sessions. "A rigid attendance sheet on committees will be kept," he said. Also, the senate yesterday approved a change the legislative rules which they hope will help shorten sessions. Under the past rules, when a committee reported against a' pending bill, the report had to be accepted by both branches to be final.

The change would allow killing of a bill by acceptance of an adverse report in only one branch. The proposed rules change now goes to the house for consideration.

In fact, Arthur J.

LaBlue, president of the International Union of Electrical Workers' local at the General Electric plants in Pittsfield, wi'ote to Rep. John W. Heselton to urge passage of an amendment designed to strengthen a portion of the act and announcing that he hopes to have the support of the 6,500 members of his local. Organized labor has been un compromising in its opposition to the Taft-Hartley law since its passage in 1947, and equally opposed to any amendments, insisting up on outright repeal. Mr.

LaBlue emphasized, how ever, that his dislike for other portions of the law has not changed, but that he approved of the amendment which would require union leaders to sign new on-Communist affidavits every 12 months. I think the time has come," Mr. LaBlue said, "when labor should admit that complete repeal of the act is impossible and should concentrate on amending as many of the anti-labor portions as possible."
