RELEASED WPA
 MEN SEEK AID
Nearly All of Group Dis- charged Yesterday Apply
 For Relief

Approximately 150 of the WPA workers laid off Monday have ap- piled to the Welfare Department for reinstatement of relief, it was esti- mated today at the department.
 The applicants have been told that their cases will be investigated and some action taken on them within the two-week period which they would have had on WPA since the payday Saturday.
 About 50 persons a day from the approximate $50 WPA men dropped Monday have applied at the Well fare Department since that time which would indicate that an ap- proximate 200 will have applied by tonight, if the volume maintains in ratio to the rest of the week.
 No further cuts had been an- nounced from state headquarters at New Haven, although it was pre- dicted yesterday that about $50 New Haven WPA workers will be dropped, about 60 members of the admins trative staff, and 2,400 non-reliet workers throughout the state. It was deemed possible that few non- relief workers here may come under the nationwide order to diminish WPA personnel.
 Many of those dropped from the Southbury project had residence in Naugatuck and some from Water bury still are engaged in work on the State School for the Feeble Minded job.

"There should be no home work" for pupils in elementary schools-that remark last night by Dr. AlonzO G. Grace, state commissioner of education, should make him the idol of children everywhere.
 Children, said Dr. Grace in an address at a Hartford Par ent-Teacher association meet ing, declared that children should be given time to play when school is over.
 But in the next breath Dr. Grace killed it all, as far as youngsters are concerned. For he expressed himself in a favor of a longer school day, so that pupils might learn how to study lon the schools time."
