ITALIAN GROUPS
 MEET SUNDAY
Official Start of Citywide Canvass to Mark
 Session

Between 25 and 30 local Italian American societies will be represent ed tomorrow afternoon in Bucking- ham hall at 8 mass meeting spon- sored by the Italian Committee Pro Patria. The committee is conduct ing campaign in the city for funds for the Italian Red Cross.
 The meeting, to which the gen. eral public is invited, will get under way at o'clock, directly following the Armistice day parade. Speakers will include local and out-of-towr speakers who will discuss the Ital- ian Ethiopian situation and urged support of the drive for Red Gross funds.
 It is expected that Buckingham hall will be filled to capacity and that substantial amount will be collected during the gathering. The committee Pro Patria was named two weeks ago at meeting of the Federation of Italian-American clubs in Liberty hall.
 Since that time a drive for Red Cross funds for use with the Italian army in Africa has been underway. A house-to-house committee s also functioning and the fact that can- vassers can be expected to call at the homes of Italian people will be one of the things stressed at to- morrow afternoons mass meeting.
 The local committee was notified by telegram this morning that Dr. Vincenzo Comito, editor of one of the most influential Italian papers in the country, will be here as guest speaker at the mass meeting. Dr. Cornito needs no introduction to the Italians of Waterbury. He has spoken here on several occasions and is regarded as one of the fore- most leaders among Italian ex-serv- ice men.

Plenty Of Green z
 In Court Setting

It was an Irish setting in sn- periOr court yesterday when habeas corpus proceedings were instituted to defer the extradi- tion to Boston of 8 Waterbury woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Gomez Perry. The chief figure in the case was Miss Madeline Cahill probation officer of Boston whose rosy complexion, smile and blue eyes did not need . second glance to confirm her Irish ancestry.
 If her appearance was not enough to denote descendcy from fair Erin her demeanor in court especially her willingness to engage in . word battle with opposing counsel, Attorney Fred Bauby. would certainly tell the world she was Irish.
 For instance, while the dis- cussion was concerning the amount of bond to be fixed, Attorney Bauby and Miss Cahill deviated . bit as they shot question after question at each other. They came to . staIe- mate however, when Attorney Bauby refused to answer . question of Miss CahiIl's unless Miss Cahill would answer one of his. Judge Patrick B. O,Sul- livan who had been quietly smiling at the repartee before him finally stepped in and turned to Assistant States At- torney William B. Fitzgerald who also had been enjoying the scene.
 'What do you suggest for . bond?" queried the court
 Well" said MT. FitzgeraId, ssinasmuch< as Governor Cross has signed the extradition pa- pers and the charge appears serious, I would say 2 thousand dollar bond would be ad- equate."
 MT. Bauby objected pointing out that the accused c0uld be trusted for having appeared twice in city court when bonds of $500 only were posted.
 "Wh0 posted the bond?T queried the judge.
 "T did" answered Mir. Bauby. 'You see, I had confidence in her."
 'Well, if you had confidence in her in posting $500, you ought to have confidence in posting $lO00''. smiled the judge.
 MT. Bauby refused to post $1,OO0 but said he would post one for $500. This was finally agreed upon.
 So, Judge Sullivan continued the case to Nov. 26th to the satisfaction of Miss CahiIl, MT. Bauby and Mrs. Fitzgerald, while Deputy Sheriff Names OLeary adjourned court

Red Cross Chapter Experienced Busiest Period in Years
PAYLESS' DAYS
 FOR WPA STAFF
More Teachers Here VOl- unteer Their Services
 Without Salary

Following the lead of teachers at the Mattatuck college, most 0t the instructors in the adult education classes of the WPA have agreed to work without pay pending final approval of a grant sufficient to carry the educational program through, according to Miss Edna Harmon, assistant WPA supervisor. Miss Harmon said that all of the teachersw hom she had been able to reach had volunteered to carry on the work If the payless period is not too long,"
 More than 500 teachers in the state now employed on federal emergency projects will not be paid after Nov. 15 unless some provision is made for them by Washington and WPA headquarters. There IS at this time no plan for their con- tinuance on the WPA payroll.
 Volunteers
 When the situation became known here Thursday, the faculty at Mattatuck college volunteered to work without pay until such time as the necessary approval is re- ceiyed, so that the program might not be interrupted. The faculty of the college is also employed in the night extension courses, which have registration of approximately 260 persons.
 In the adult educational division, which gives instruction in both rec reational and educational pur- suits, registration has reached 468, Miss Harmon said.
 The delay in determining the fu- ture status of the emergency em- ployed teachers is due to the fact that the policy of the WPA nation ally, in regard to this type of un- employment relief, has not yet been decided. According to reports from national headquarters of the WPA, a countrywide educational pro- gram is awaiting presidential ap- proval.
 A federal college similar to that in Waterbury is in operation in Hartford, and plans for the estab- hshment of such institutions as are in progress in New Haven, Stam- ford and New London. Bristol last woke turned down the opportunity to have a college because the in- stitutions follow the new progress sive education" plan.
