The local federal employment sit- uation took a surprising turn to- day with the announcement by Ar thur J. Collins of the Waterbury of flee of the Connecticut state employ meat service that a scarcity of ap- plicants for laborers' jobs on the WPA was making 1t difficult to fill the quota here.
 Cards have been sent to all for- mer EZRA workers and to others eligible under government regula- tions within the past week notify ing them to appear at the employ ment office on North Main street but the response has fallen far short of expectations, according to MT. Collins. While he did not specify the number of jobs available, he said that men could be placed im- mediately. Employment is open only for manual laborers.
 Certification
 Any person certified by relief au- thorities may apply for a job, MT. Collins said. Besides former EZRA workers, those receiving aid from the department of public welfare are considered eligible. Mutual Aid workers, unless they have been acc cepted by the DPW, will not be giv- en employment on the works re- lief projects.
 l.r. Collins said check was be- ire made at the local agency today to determine the number of persons actually employed by the WPA in Waterbury. It had not been complet- ed this morning. According to tig- ,iires released last week by the state ofiice in New Haven, more than 1,- 900 Waterburians were at work here, and with the addition of other projects almost daily, 1t is believed the number will have shown a con- siderable increase when the tabula- ton is finished.

 Tract

Gales Ferry, Conn.,, Nov. 25- Plans are now underway here to erect . home on a piece of prop erty which has been owned by one family and has remained vacant for almost 300 years. The decision to>build was 8 direct result of the Single Mortgage System" of the Federal Housing Administration.

WASHINGTON, Oct. sl-F-The
fact that the Roosevelt administra-
ton Is bearing down harder than
ever In It's efforts 10 discourage"
trade with Italy and Ethsopla caused
informed observers TO wonder
Thursday whether some new action
may not be under consideration.
This speculation was aroused by
President RooseveltS statement OF
Wednesday, IN which he hit az war

earlier, Secretary Hull had said
bluntly the United states Is seeking
to discourage dealings with the
b~elligerents.
What the government might 90
70 implement this campaign OF
moral pressure" II the war should
stimulate a boom In American ex-
ports destined for the warning
countries was a question officials
did not answer.
Informed circles. however, specu-
lated as 10 whether the admlnlS-
tration would broaden its present
arms embargo TO include q ban on
other commodities useful IN the
manufacture Of war materials or m
the conduct OF war.
Officials have said they are study
ing the problem Of whether the
embargo should include such key"
war materials as copper, oil, cot
ton, and scrap iron. There has been
no indication however, that such
q step would be taken.
The idea OF a broadened embargo
involves the question of what the

steel regions. the oil districts. ETC.,
would say about such a move ana
what effect their reaction would
have on congress and the admins
tration.
