will probably not be equalled at the coming session, it is believed the increase will noticeable.
 Naturalization bureaus through out the state have reported a rush of applicants for papers, in several classes making it necessary to cm- ploy extra examiners from the Bos- ton bureau.
 Besides the federal employ ment requisite, the reduction of the fee from $20 to $1O for fiyst and second papers has also been an in- ducement for many non-citizens to take out naturalization papers, which previously they had not done because of the prohibitive cost.
 The sentiment against the hiring of aliens is said to include the state government also, which last week discharged several employees in the highway department who were unable to furnish proof of citizenship.
 More Expected Later
 It is probable, according to MT Gillette, that there will be more marked increase in the applications as the time for the examinations approaches. In order not to in- convenience witnesses the Boston bureau now requires them to be present only at two hearings in- stead of three, and everything possible to make the entire proced- ure more rapid has been done. The actual date of the class is set fol- lowing the filing of the local appli cations at Hartford.

 With radio becoming more and more the medium through which thought, opinion, advertising and entertainment is being dissemin- ated, this course in radio comes at a time that is very advantageous.
