PLENTY OF LUCK
 BUT MOSTLY BAD
Fishing Season Opens With UnfavOrable
 Results

A repetition of yesterdays poor luck was expected by local fisher- man who started out today, the second day of the fishing season against a strong wind keeping the temperature down. The cold wealth. CT of the past week, accompanied by the unceasing rain, helped to keep the trout from biting for Wa terbury hooks yesterday.
 One seasoned fisherman, who Aas been going out every year for the past 25 years, reported yesterday was the poorest day he ever put in with the rod and reel. He des- cribed the brooks and streams as "roily," which is a condition unfit for fishing. He spent all day on popular fishing spots near Water bury, but failed to make a decent catch he said.
 When the high brooks come down to their natural state and the coldness leaves the water, the trout will begin to bite, the veteran Isaac Walton said. In other parts of the state, some sizeable catches were reported. The honors of the day went to R. B. O'Brien of Ches- ter, who nabbed a four pound six ounce rainbow. in the Salmon river according to the state warden.

Substantial increases in en1- plyoment over figures for the pre- ceding month are shown in a sur vey for March completed today at the office of the Connecticut State Employment Service on State street. According to Arthur J. Collins, manager of the local bu- reau, the improvement over Feb ruary is to be expected because of seasonal activities usually begin ing in March.
 Consistent with a trend noted in preceding months, Mir Collins states, there Is a steady demand for skilled workers in various lines of trade. In metal trades, tool and diemakers, set up men. screw threading and slotting ma chine operators are in demand. ~,
 Gradual Return
 Improvement in this line is be- lieved to indicate gradual return to normal business, conditions in the factories of the city.
 The end of March marked the resumption of PWA activities in road construction. Shovel oper- ators, roller operators, and iron workers are urged to register at the employment office.
 In the women's department, experienced clothing salesladies, waitresses, dictaphone and com tometer operators. power stitchers, bench hands, press operators, au- tomatic machine operators, laun- dry machine operators and quail flied domestic help are advised to register.
 State Figures
 A total of 2,541 placements were made in March by the Connecti- cut public employment offices as against 1887 in February and g. O03 in January. Most of this in- crease is attributable to renewed PWA activity, although private placements rose from 1879 in January and 1,01G ill February to 1,456 in March and represented 60 percents 73 percent, and 57 per. cent respectively of total place.

 Records introduced after Kum- pis pleaded guilty, showed he has spent 12 to 15 years of the last 20 in prison, jail, or reformatory.
