SUPREME COURT 'UPHOLDS ACTION.
Priest Defendant in Auto
 Crash on WatertOwn !
 Ave. Player Injured 1

The Supreme Court of Errors yes- terday. sustained Superior Court Judge John Richards Booth in set- ting aside 8 Middlesex County jury's $1,400 verdict in favor of Mic chael Faraci of Middletown against Mrs. Mary Gibbons and her broth- CT, Rev. John J. Kelly, of Hartford, as a result of an automobile acci. dent in this city in December of 1884.
 Faraci, a passenger in Mrs. Gib- bons' car, which was being driven by her brother, was injured when 1t struck a trafflc signal post on Wa tertown Avenue. Father Kelly, now at St. Anthony's church in Hart. ford, was at that time at St. Se- bastian's church in Middletown and as coach of the parish basketball team was driving members of his team and Faraci to Middletown af- ter @ game in Watertown.
 The opinion of the court, which was per curiam, was that the speed the priest was driving could not reasonably have been found to cone stitute reckless misconduct within the meaning of the guest statute.

Many Waterbury Youths to Be Affected By l8-
 Month Eligibility Law

Quite @ humber of the 300 Wa terbury youths registered at pres- ent in eco camps throughout the state will be affected by the elig- ibility ruling of eighteen months service. Several more will be in- cluded in the nation wide reduction of 10000 ordered at national head quarters.
 Despite this news of the reduc- ton 1t was announced by Joseph Loughlin, executive secretary of the State Emergency Relief Commis- sion, that new enrolment period will be held during April. The new enrolment will be based on the new strength of the corps in the state and will be estimated on the number of enlistment aspirations. The new figure, following along the lines ordered by the reduction, will probably be much lower than pre- vious enrolment figures.
 The present strength of the CCC camps throughout the state is about 5,750. It is believed, with an even distribution of the reduction in all states, the next Connecticut figure will be about 1000 or 4,500.
 The exact number of local youth, who will have served an eighteer month period on April 1, is no known. officials believe young mer who are retired from the service will be able to benefit by Seasona employment.

wages, fix prices and control pro-
duction, was reported favorably
by the House Labor Committee

It provides for no wage or hour
