tBY EDWARD J. RYAN)

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin has just selected an all Republican court in the city of Torrington. To- day he appointed as the new judges for the city court in Torrington Att torney John Casale and Attorney Henry Ellis.
 Each of the courts that the 1939 session of the general assembly have failed to agree on and which have fallen into the hands of the Gover- nor have been made into all-Repub- lican courts.
 This same condition is very likely to happen in the city of Waterbury where there is a bitter fight going on for the two juicy political plums.
 It appears definite today that Judge Edward J. Mascolo will not be reappointed.
 Up To Upson
 J. Warren Upson chairman of the Waterbury Republican Town com- mittee has been told that he should take a definite stand on the mat ter of the judgeShip slate. Thus far he has failed to take any definite stand.
 Judge Ted Conway seems to be as- sured of reappointment although 1t might be that Governor Baldwin will appoint two Republicans to the court and drop Conway, although this does not seem likely.
 The other judge, providing it is on an all Republican court basis. will most likely go to an Italian. At the moment the Italian racial queS- tion of patronage has developed into three corner fight between Mich

Crosby Seniors Score Hit in Presentation of
 "Jane Eyre"

An excellent production of "Jane Eyre was presented by the Mask and Wig of Crosby high school at the Women's club auditorium last night. The production, under the direction of Miss Marie G. Macdon- nell, was largely attended and heartily praised by all.
 Outstanding in the title role was June O'Neill, who gave an adroit in- depreciation of Charlotte Bronte's tragic young governess. Other roles were expertly handled by Edmund Wolkowski, as Edward Rochester, Stella Zornick, as Nora, the Irish maid, Jessie Harrison as Adele Var ems, and Walter Grimm, as Rev. John Rivers. Praise is extended also to the efforts of Jacqueline Yavecchia, as another maid, and Rosalie Mckee, in the role of Mrs. Fairfax. Robert Shumway, as Richard Mason, also won plaudits.
 The 9th century set was construct ed with a sensitive eye towards re- alism of, detail and atmosphere. Faithful also were the beautiful cos- tunes of the period.
 The Mask and Wig club is com- posed of students of Miss Macdon- nell who have been under her di- rection for four years. Their finished performance is a tribute to Miss Mcdonnell.

 SUES PHYSICIAN
Dr. COIney Alleged NegIi- gent in Physical Ther-
 apy Treatments

A verdict early this afternoon was anticipated in the $5,000 superior court litigation of Joseph J. Davies of Watertown against Dr. Matthew V, Colney of Waterbury, which came to trial before Judge Kenneth Wynne and jury yesterday.

A blister subsequently, formed on his forehead, he alleges, became infected and required medi- cal treatment. pr. Colney gave a demonstration of his treatment in court yesterday.
 Witnesses who have testified thus far are the plaintiff, Dr. Andrew J. Jackson, Eva Greenwood of Water town, Dr. Colney and Dr. James Clarence Welser of East Hartford. The plaintiff is represented by At torney William K. Lawlor, while At toreny Walter D. Terrence defends.

 ton at Hospital

ael Galullo, Frederick Palomba and Charles Summa.
 The position of Summa during the past twenty four hours has weak ened. This is quite noticeable among leaders of the G. O. P.
 Palomba on the other hand has increased his strength. Galullo is the man who is sitting quietly on the side lines. But he has a great amount of support from among leaders of the Republican Organ ization.
 The fact that Summa has become a weak candidate during the past few hours might be traced to the door step of J. Warren Upson.
 Lawlor Favored
 If the court is on 50-50 basis 1t might be that William Lawlor will be selected as the other Judge. Lawlor has considerable backing here and Senator George T. Gull hane is his chief sponsor.
 If and when the judges are se- lected this is the manner in which the personnel of the court will line up.
 The prosecutors might be Vincent Scully and Emil Hummel. Although Mitchell Myers is still in the running.
 The clerk of the court will be de- cided between Harry Krasow, one of the most popular young Republicans in the city of Waterbury and Philip Bernstein. Krasow is the former president of the New Haven County young Republican organization and only last week he was appointed to the Regional Board of the New Eng land Council of the Republican party.
 The assistant clerk will be Daniel Mahaney.
 The probation officers are likely to be changed. There are rumors here that Kathleen Crowley will be removed.
 In the event Hummel is appointed Prosecutor his place as Probation of- ficer might be filled by George Towle.

YMCA SECRETARY
 PRAISES FIREMEN
Sends Letter to Chief in Appreciation of Work
 at Fire

Herbert s. Smith, general secretary of the Y. M. c. A., today congrat- ulated the Waterbury Fire Depart ment for it's work in extinguishing a fire in the boiler-room which started shortly before 10 o'clock last night. The blaze, believed to have been started by a cigarette butt, smouldered for almost an hour, while large crowd gathered out side the building on West Main street to watch the firemen. The fire was confined to the boiler room.
 MT. Smiths letter to Fire Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh follows:
 l wish to congratulate the Wa terbury Fire Department on the promptness with which the de- pertinent responded to the call at tto Central Y. M. c. A. last night. was sitting in my office when the call went through our switch board. I immediately went out through the gymnasium and down into the boiler room, and located the fire as being in bales of waste payer, beyond the boiler room, in the machinery room. When l immediately returned, up the rear stairs, two companies of fire men were coming in the door.
 1nasmuch as the Central Y. M. c. A. is a fire-proof build- ing, there was no danger of con- flagration, but the point is that your men were Johnny on-the- spot and their speed was such that I could not believe my smoke filled eyes that the fire depart nent had arrived.
 Due to the fact that it was smoldering paper, located in the deep basement, the smoke was terrific, but the Fire Department members went down into the smoke filled engine room like a football team running out onto the field of play.
 On behalf of the Y. M. c. A. wish to thank the following men for the service rendered and their excellent spirit of cooperation: Deputy Chief Martin Campion; Driver Private Woods, Lieutenant Eugene Legge.
 Engine No. 10-Lieutenant Maurice Noonan, Privates O'Don- nell. Murphy. Earth, Sullivan, Droznick, Kelley and Carroll.
 Engine No. 2, Captain John Leary, Privates Fitzgerald, Smith, Bresnahan, Delaney, Crowley and Hanlon.
