After he had informed the court that his client hadn't answered cor- respondence addressed to her and that efforts to locate her had ap- parently failed, Attorney Frank W.

New Police Shirts
 To Be Worn June 1
Cops Notified Today to Obtain Uniform Model Im'
 mediateIy-OnIy One Other State Town Using Them

that the shirts, if not already ob- tained, should be ordered irnmedi- ately, inasmuch as manufacturers are having difficulty filling a rush of orders.
 Correcting an impression enter tained by some that serge shirts were likely to prove warm for sum- mer wear, Superintendent of Police William J. Roach today explained that investigation conducted pre- liminary to the recommendation to the police board had proved that this was not the case.
 Light weight woolen garments are said by clothing authorities to act as insulation against heat. Blue serge shirts, even heavier than those ordered for local use, are worn by police of Galveston, Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio, according to Superintendent Roach. He points out that these cities are decidedly warmer than Waterbury.
 In Connecticut they have been or- dered by the town of Manchester and they are being given considera- ton by the Meriden police depart ment. They have been used throughout New York state and New Jersey for many years.
 Deputy Superintendent of Police Daniel J. Carson has been wearing one of the new shirts for the past week. Its neat, dressy appearance has attracted much favorable com- Inent.
