Gov. McConaughy Os Connecticut! Dies Dies Suddenly Os Influenza Sunday Hartford, Conn., Mar. B—(UP) — Lt. Gov. James Coughlin Shannon will be sworn in as Connecticut’s chief executive today, succeeding Gov. James, L. McConaughy, 60, who died yesterday of influenza. Shannon, a 51-year-old Republican labor attorney of Bridgeport, will be administered the oath of office at the capitol by chief justice William M. Maltbie. McConaughy, who began his first term as Republican governor in January, 1946, entered Hartford hospital Saturday with what his secretary described as a “slight touch of flu.” He had planned to leave Friday for a Florida vacation. He died unexpectedly at 2:45 p. m. McConaughy was survived by his wife, Elizabeth Townsend Rogers McConaughy and three children, James L. McConaughy, Jr.f Pierce and Phoebe. Private funeral services were planned for Thursday in the chapel of Wesleyan university at Middletown, Conn. McConaughy had served as president of the university. McConaughy’s death was attributed by doctors to “acute coronary thrombosis, with slight artei iosclerosis after complications set in from the influenza. No fears about his condition had been expressed until shortly before his death. At 1:30 p. m. his wife left his bedside after hearing a report that he was doing nicely. An hour later she rushed back when told his condition, had turned critical, but before she reached his bedside he died. The last public appearance oT the governor, who also was nationally known as an educator and war-time administrator, was Wednesday night. He attended a testimonial dinner, and left early after complaining that he was not feeling well. No state funeral is planned. A memorial service will be held Wednesday at the state capitol.

Lady, where have you been? Used fate are needed now more than ever, because the shortage of fats and oils today is the greatest in the world’s history. Our government warns us that the supply cannot meet today's industrial needs. You can help prevent this supply from getting too low by continuing to turn in used fats. You say you re-use them for cooking? Fine! But even the drops left after that are worth salvaging. How about melting down fat trimmings, skimming gravies? Those tricks yield plenty! And come to think of it, what other kitchen waste can you convert into good hard cash? It’s a point to remember, these days of high food costal Butchers pay for used fats. So please... don’t throw your fats away. Turn ’em in!

S. provost marshal reported that a Russian guard knocked an American soldier down with his gun butt early today and shot him in the back as he lay prostrate. The provost marshal, Col. Bernard Hurless, said the soldier was wounded seriously, and that the incident was “deliberately provoked j by the Russians.” "Without doubt the Russians are clearly at fault in this one," Hurless said. The name of the soldier was withheld pending notification of kin. Hurless said the soldier probably would lose an arm as a result of the shooting, but was expected to recover. Hurless said the American soldier, with two colleagues and three Austrian girls, was walking ; along the paved parkway in the middle of the Ringstrasse in front of the Russian Grand hotel in the international quarter shortly after midnight. A Russian soldier came out of a hotel entrance and accosted the group, Hurless said. According to one of the Austrian girls, the Russian said in a foreign language that the Americans should “get off the pavement and into the gutter where you belong.” Hurless said the Russian pushed the soldier, and the soldier pushed back. Thereupon the Russian called for help. An armed Russian guard stationed permanently at the hotel
