 While Special Prosecutor Alcorn and his assistants, and several out of-town defense counsel are plan ming to reside here during the trial Judge Inglis will commute daily be- tween here and his home in Mid- dletown.
 Assisting Prosecutor
 Assisting MT. Alcorn will be As- sistant Special Prosecutors Hugh Meade Alcorn, Jr., and Harold E. Mitchell, County Detective Edward J. Hickey, John Sponzo, Lewis Cam non and several others.
 The special prosecutor was not certain as to the actual size his staff of assistants would be. Wheth- CT or not George L. Greer of Suffield would be included depends entirely upon his health. During the past few months he has been suffering from pneumonia, and is at present recovering slowly. Mir. Alcorn said that for the past three days Greer had not been so well. Greer was the constant companion of Hickey dur ing the jury's investigation.
 May Be Quick Selection
 One member of the defense corps ventured to predict today that 1t was not entirely improbable that the jury might be selected within a week. He pointed to the rapidity with which the Merritt Parkway jury to try G. LeRoy Kemp had been selected. That jury was se- lected in day and half.

 Snow will stay on the ground pretty well throughout the winter" !" he said, Central and northern New England now are all set. Southern New England probably will have some warm days that will cut into the present snow some be- fore Christmas, though I believe we have better than 50-50 chance for white Christmas.
 December probably will check up as a colder than normal month January, February and March will average normally cold to colder than normal There probably will be two periods of hard-freezing weather = early in January and again in the latter half of February.
 Precipitation will come mostly as snow except in southeastern New England where there will be some rain. Total snowfall probably will be about average, but it will stay on the ground from now on"
 Twenty Five Died
 Boston, Nov, 28-(UP)-The cam paign to make Massachusetts high ways the safest in the nation suf- fered a sharp setback last week when 25 persons died in motor ve- hicle accidents, according to Regis trar Frank A. Goodwin's report.
 This was Is more than in the pre- vious week and five more than in the corresponding week last year.
 Moreover, 22 of the victims were pedestrians, who have been objects of special attention during the cur rent safety drive.
 A severe snowstorm, heavy traf- fic to and from football games, sleet glazed windshields, and the care- lessness of pedestrians contributed to the extraordinary death toll, Goodwin said.

 Warm Springs, Ga, Nov. 28 (UP0 President Roosevelt renewed his con- Versations with the American Am- bassadors to Germany and Italy on the subject of European religious and racial prosecutions today. It was reported that the conferences might lead to an even more posi- tive policy in this regard. For more than four hours, the chief executive sat before an open fire in the living room of the little White House here, listening to Hugh Wilson. ambassador to Germany, and William Phillips, ambassador to Italy. When they finally left the isolated frame cottage oh the edge of Pine Mountain last night it was with instructions to return for further conference 8 little before noon.
 Ambassadors Silent Both ambassadors went to the home of will Moore, friend of the president, on Warm Springs Foun- dation, where they were put up for the night. To all questions they said that their conference was as yet incomplete but indicated that if any talking was to be done, Mir. Roosevelt would do it.
 Administrations attaches made it clear that the president was eg- ploring the question of religious persecution in complete detail. He was as much concerned with the plight of Catholics and Protes- tants in some countries as he was with that of Jews, it was said. Close friends of the White House speculated on the bearing of the present talks on a further delinea- ton of this governments policy to- wards those states drasticalIy re- stricting religious, racial and peli- tical rninorities.
 Ambassador Wilson was techni- eally recalled from Germany as a protest. He will remain in the United States away from his post for an indefinite period. Whether S4ll1lldE dDt1Uu Wuulu DG dppLSu u Italy inasmuch as Phillips was sum nnoned to Warm Springs, was not known. Phillips has been home for some time on leave.
 At the conclusion of his meeting with the arnbaSsad dors, the president planned to discuss business condi- tions with Jesse Jones, chairman of the Re-C Construction Finance Cor poration, who arrived in Warm Springs late last night. While Jones declined to discuss his visit, observers were of the opinion that it tied in with that of Mariner s, Eccles, chairman of the Board of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn who left here yesterday after two days of conferences with the president.
 MT. Roosevelt yesterday also said goodbye to Aubrey Williams, deputy WPA administrator, who discussed the relief situation with him.
 Meanwhile cold weather prevent ed the president from enjoying his rest to the fullest. He ventured out for only an hour and a half yester- day afternoon, driving his open car to his farm.

service. In addition, the court can excuse an unlimited number for cause.
 Juries May Go Home
 No definite ruling has been made, but Judge Inglis has indicated that the 12 jurors, when finally selected, will be allowed to go home each night. In trials of such sensation in other states, the juries have been locked up for weeks at time pending the conclusion of the trial.
 With the 26 defendants, their counsel, counsel for the state, the jury, court attaches and at least IS newspapermen in daily atten- dance at the trial, little space will be available in the courtroom for spectators. Eight deputy sheriffs will also be present under the supervision of Chief Deputy Calla- han of Naugatuck.
 Witnesses must also be in attend ance and this will further reduce the availability of seats for spectators, although the seating capacity of the courtroom has been almost doubled by rearranging the chairs.
 Purcell May be First
 Among the first of the witnesses to be called will be James F. Pur- cell, accountant in the employ of Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland. During the terms of office of former Controller Daniel J. Leary, who now stands accused of conspiracy, .Fur- cell also worked in the office of the controller. His testimony before the grand jury was major issue in the investigations of the alleged munich pal corruption.
 One New York banker who will be witness is Charles L. Doty of Hastings on Hudson, vice president of the Underwriters Trust company of New York. Until the jury is selected, however, the witnesses will be in the background.
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn has re- mained non-committal regarding witnesses.

 Many Witnesses Called
 Until the jury of 12 has been selected, no witnesses will be called to testify. Special Prosecutor Alcorn has already subpoened numerous wit witnesses from outside the state bounds, and among them will be bankers and brokers of repute in New York.
 Weeks Before Jury Is Picked
 Some experts have estimated that it will take at least three weeks for the selection of the jury. Others believe that the 12 essentials will not be available from the 172 pros- pectives now listed, and that arl- other group will have to be drawn. Between 20 and 25 will be examined daily, by the 16 defense counsel and the three counsel for the state.

OPINION DIVIDED
|ONARCHBISHOP'S
BLASTING OF D. C.
City's Morals Defended
By Civic Leaders

Several representative Washing
ton women were divided today in
their reactions to Archbishop
Michael j. Curley's statement that
st know of no city in the nation
which furnished more temptations
and dangers" than Washington.
Some shared the apparent alarm,
but others didn't.
"Crime among young people
today is rampant, and it is
largely due to older people who
haven't met their responsibility.
Washington being such a cosmo-
politan city, its young people
are surrounded by dangers on
all Sides" declared Mrs. Lloyd
w. Biddle past president Of the
Dirtrict Federation of Women's
Clubs.
CITES ADVANTAGES
Mrs. Ernest william Howard,
legislation chairman for the fed
Grafton, said:
''I believe Washington offers
so many fine advantages to off
set the other side of the picture.
Its schools, churches, music, art
and other fine things offer great
opportunity, and it lies with the
individual to make the choice"
Mrs. Walter B. Fry, Parent
Teacher Association president of
the District, declared that II don't
see why Washington should be
worse than other cities its size. We
have a lesser degree Of a certain
element than some other big cities
have"
HIGH RATE OF CRIME
Mrs. C. c. Calhoun, of Braemar
Lodge, Chevy Chase, declared that
"the temptations for youth In
Washington are dreadful" She re.
ferred to figures which, she said,
showed a high per capita crime
rate in Washington.
Capt. Rhoda Milliken, chief
of the Women's Bureau of the
D. c. Police Department, was in
clined to believe that the arch
bishop was referring to tempta
tions to worldliness which would
lead people away from spiritual
life, rather than another meaning
of temptations.
NOT EXTREME
But Captain Milliken added that
she did not consider Washington
to be extreme among cities Of its
size in the other sense Of the
words, temptations and dangers.
Archbishop Curley made the
statement about Washington yes
terday when he spoke at the an
nual communion mass Of the
Washington Retreat League at ST.
Matthews Catholic Church.
