Indiana state police during the first I half of the present year have patroled j the highways for a total of 989,715 miles, state patrolman Roy Newgent

ROCHESTER. N. Y. (UP)-A feud that started seven years ago during an argument over who won the World war was ended here recently when Qiyf man was stablied fatally and the other infested and charged with first d«grc. murder. Th' lain man was Caesar Straccomore 40- Vittorio Russitti was charg'd with his murder. Both served In the World war, Straceomore with th«Italian army, and Russitti with thmA merican. 'Wii feud, police said, started in 1925 when the two men engaged in a heated aigument as to whether Italy or An ciica had more to do with winning the war. Russitti was stabbed but not critically injured in the fight which followed the argument. •Ti e seven year feud was ended, ver, when Straceomore was stabfatally while playing hall in a )et here. Russitti vanished but he arrested when he reappeared on Chester street. blice said Russitti had gone into Big. but became cuiious as to how py Straixoinoie had been injured, appeared in public again, only to rested.

the nine months since the start of the present fiscal year, the local policeman said, stolen autos worth, on a conservative estimate, $189,500. That is $29,500 more, he pointed out, than the cost of the entire department during the last fiscal ye.ir to the motoiists of the state, who pay all state police bills. In addition, the department’s work on autombile titles, licenses and transfers has brought into the state treasury several thousands of dollars. During the present year. Mr. Garrett’s report continues, state police have had mechanical defects on automobiles and title and license improprieties corrected in 24.487 cases. They have made 277 arrest-, covered 431 accidents and investigated 38 automobile fatalities. Major work now under way in the department includes preparation for a second all-state safety campaign this month, similar to that in June; enforcement of the new tiuck law, in which 363 trucks were checked and 47 arrests made in six days; warring on the Hitch-hiker menace, a campaign to require broken down truck--to be pulled off the highways for repairs and a check on gasoline tax evasion at the request of the attorney
general.
State police, the report adds, helped woik out the Sheriff Ira Barton bank conspiracy case, captured Barton when he tried to flqe at his trial at Portland, broke up recently a gang of eigiit horse, harness and gas thieves operating in eight counties, disrupted several large chicken thief gangs, captured several bank and auto bandits and helped solve the Lawrence Elliott murder at Salem, among much outstanding work. The department has just revamped its patrol plan, inaugurated in July last year. Other notable advances, enumerated in the report, included an improved plan for protecting children on the highways, particularly those using school busses, new p&ttrol regulating virtually eliminating fatal accidents on the Dunes highway a^d co operation in gathering crime statistics for the U. S. department of
justice.
