The exact method of procedure liag not been announced as yet, but it is understood here in Waterbury, all qualification will be done directly through the department of welfare office.
 m the past, after certification and modification of worker, the men had to report to the Connecticut State Employment office, at which point his name was placed on file until such time aS there was call for WPA workers. This three-corn- cred method of certifying men, with the necessity of the man being put through the state employment of- fec, tended to make the situation more complicated.
 With relief status being investi- gated and certification being made directly from the department of wel- fare, the placement of men will be expediated. The burden of the state employment office will also be lessened, for the names Of all relief members on the WPA roles will be cleared from the files.
 Thomas I. Shea, head of the state employment office, stated this morn ing that the only WPA names which would be handled would be those Of persons who are not listed as re- lief cases and persons who are listed as skilled workers.
