'NO MORE WPA
 LAYOFFS LOOM
Sullivan Denies RurmOf That Several Hundred
 More Will Be Dropped

No further layoffs of WPA per. sonnel are in prospect in Water bury, according to WPA officials at New Haven today. A report current over the week end that sev- eral hundred more would join. the $50 men dropped from the rolls a week ago was denied by State Ad- ninistrator Vincent J. Sullivan.
 Meanwhile, Henry Tierney, assist ant administrator, is studying com- plaints of some of the groups laid off that there was discrimination. MT. Tierney is expected to issue a statement shortly regarding the matter.
 The Waterbury WPA employees, numbering almost $2,O0O not count- ing those dropped, received their pay cheeks Friday and Saturday in td- vance of the usual date for pay to arrive from New Haven. The $50 laid off received smaller sums due them for the days they worked at the first of this month.

ANTE JEWISH
 DRIVE GAINS
Figures Support Charges of Racial Prejudice in
 Employment

New York, Dec. 27.-Prejudice against Jews in employment in the United States, reaching high never before attained and showing a marked advance since the advent of NaziSm, is revealed today by the American Jewish Congress in Q re- port on Jewish non unemployment based on a years investigation with particular reference to the Metro- politan area of New York.
 Prepared by J. X. Cohen, chair man of the commission on economic problems of the American Jewish Congress, the report, entitled ''To- wards Fair Play for Jewish Work CTS" presents a study of discrinina- tion as revealed in the classified ad- vertisements, survey of employ ment agencies, investigation of in- dividual complaints and an exam nation of the personnel records and practices of various industries, in- cluding public utilities, quasi-gov. ernmental agencies, banks, insur- ance companies, hotels. department stores.
 Classified "Ads''
 Studying the classified advertise mentS over six periods, 1917, 1921, 1928, 1892, 1884 and l937-3S, the study reveals that since the advent of Nazisrn the frequency of discriIn- inatory specifications has grown progressively higher, until in 1937- 1888, these frequencieS have reached heights far in excess of the preced- ing years. This finding, say the report, was substantiated through data obtained by 8 survey of the leading employment agencies in New York city. About half of the 90 major agencies interviewed stated definitely that discrimination is on the increase" They sense marked tendency to make Jews marginal workers, that is, to be the very last hired and the very first fired when entering the period of economic de- cline.
 TechnlcaI Fields
 In the technological field, the re- port says, upon inquiry of large list of American universities and college scientific schools, it was eli- cited that they have found more and more doors and many impor- tant industrial firms being closed to their technical graduates who are Jewish. A mid-western university, through 8 trustee, recently notified Jewish leaders of the community in which the university is located, that it was being forced to action which 1t did not wish to be interpreted as anti-Jewish. The university is plan- ming, most regretfully, to limit the enrolment of Jewish students in its technical schools, because the trustees had found their Jewish graduates very difficult to place."
 The daily broadsideS of columns of advertisements marked Chris tian," Christian firm," Anglo Saxon" and similar limitations "de- liver steady flow of serious anti Jewish propaganda penetrating millions of American homes," says the report.

RAIN TERMINATES
 SKATING PLEASURE
Community Club May Ob. tain Lights for Night
 Skating at Park
Washington Hill

Plenty of use for the Christmas gift skates was provided at Wash ington park during the weekend, but last nights storm eliminated this mode of activity at least for the present.
 Lack of lights at the park cur- tailed the night skating, however. Although the lights have been strung to the skating surface, lack of bulb makes illusination impos- sible. It has been suggested that the Community club take action to secure the proper Illumination for the skaters and avoid accidents which might result from skating in the dark.
 Party Tonight
 In belated celebration of the Christmas holiday, the Washington park fife and drum corps will hold party tonight at the Community house following their weekly meet ing and rehearsal. Refreshments will be served and music will be pro- vided for dancing. A large commit tee has been working for the past week on preparations for the party. Several guests will include members of the Washington Park Community club, sponsors of the corps. No Basketball Basketball games of the senior league of the Community house were cancelled in favor of the holiday last night. The next scheduled games will be played Friday night. Con- siderable interest centers about the action which is expected to be taken by the board of directors concerning the protest which St. Ann's have filed over their recent defeat by the Raymond HillieS.
 A definition of professional player will solve the problem which has been created. The St. Anns claim the Hillies used professional players. Should their protest prove valid, other protests will be filed by other teams, claiming the same al- legged violation of bylaws.
