MANY WOMEN TO
ATTEND HEARING
CONTINUED from Page u

-
the states chief executive Is In favor
OF allowing women to serve on jur-
les.
One Of the bills was introduced
by Senator Rabbett Of Windsor. The
other was introduced In the house
by Representative Hurley Of Wind
ham. They are identical and en-
body the principles which the league
has long been seeking. Leaders OF
the League Of Women Voters from
here and other parts Of the state
will attend the hearing to urge the
judiciary TO return a favorable re-
port on the measures.
Opposition Leads
Representative John D. Thoms OF
this city Is a member Of the judi
ciary committee. It Is understood
that the majority Of the committee
at the present time, at least, Is OPP
posed to granting women the right
to serve on juries. In several past
sessions Of the legislature bills per-
hitting jury service for women
were introduced but they failed 10
pass.
The main argument against the
bill In the past has been the fact
that there would be only one class
OF women able TO give up their time
for Jury service. These women are
those who have domestic help In
their homes. Therefore, 1t is claim
ed, a group Of professional jury
women would be created. This ar
gument has been hotiy denied by
the League Of Women Voters in the
past.

derstood. According to reports the
judiciary group has practically de.
cided that hearings In Torrington

Another report coming out Of the
committee Is that a favorable re-
port granting a $1,000 raise to COM
missioner Lynch and the other four
commissioners in the state will be
given. The bill now pending be-
fore the committee provides for a

raise would be sufficient at this
time. II and when the salary raise
bill is reported fayorably 1t will then
have to 20 before the appropriations
