Tn acting controllers statement was directed obviously at Miss Kath- leen Crowley, local juvenile probation officer. MT. Purcell, in his "econ- omy" recommendations last week suggested that the same stenogra- pher could serve both; the juvenile probation officer and the clerk of the city court. Miss Crowley count cred by reporting to the finance board that her secretary is over- worked and asking for additional clerical help.
 Recently Learned"
 F1qued, the acting controller told the finance board he had recently learned" that only one other com- r1unity in Connecticut has a woman probatio officer.
 4 list issued by William D. Barnes, general supervisor, at Hart ford, includes 16 women among the states adult-probation officers.
 A list issued by F. c. Walcott. chief juvenile officer of the state, at Hartford, includes 20 women among the juvenile-probation offi- cers of the state.
 Serves Dual Role
 It might be pointed out that in many cases the woman serving as adult-probation officer also acts as juvenile-probation officer. This is true in Miss Crowley's case.
 Observers will await with great interest MT. Purcell's next step. Since he has submitted a number of lengthy communications to the fi- nance board in the absence of his superior, Controller Sherwood Row. land, who has been i'll for the past several weeks, it may be that he will file a similarly lengthy state ment informing the board that since last week he has learned that Con- necticut has more than two women probation officers.

 It also followed a night during which 46 men were jailed because Carter said they had exchanged gum fire with guardsmen on a wooded mountainside near Louellen, Ky, and a mine company truck driver who allegedly shot union picket, sur rendered to arrest.

JAP POLICY TO BE SYMPATHETIC
No Definite Commitments to Support R0me=Ber-

BY H. o. THOMPSON United Press Staff COrrespondent)

 Tokyo, May 20.-(UP) Cabinet leaders reached a final decision on Japan's European policy today af- ter months of sometimes heated dis cussion. It was understood that the policy called for sympathetic neu- trality" toward Germany and Italy, without definite commitments to support the axis" powers.
 Five key ministers of the cabinet made the decision. Immediately af- terward, Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma, premier, called the entire cabinet session and, before the meeting, wis., ited Emperor Hirohito to inform him and obtain the imperial assent.
 Details of the decision were with held pending formal announcement. But it was reported that, under the policy agreed on, Japan would of- fer moral and other support to the "axis" with, however, pledging itself to full support or joining Germany and Italy in their new military al- liance.
 It was understood that to make a decision possible, the army and navy leaders compromised The army had been for alliance; the navy against it.
 The question of Japan's policy to- ward Europe, which necessarily takes account of the fact that Rus sia extends to the Pacific, had been considered for many months. In re- cent weeks discussion had intensi- fled, and army and navy men were particularly active in it.
 Baron Hiranuma, Hachiro Arita foreign minister; Gen. Seishiro Itagaki, war minister; Admiral Nit simasa Yonai, navy minister, and Sotaro Ishiwata, finance minister. attended today's meeting.
 It was reported May 3. on au- thority of government sources, that the cabinet had obtained the em- peror's agreement to a Japanese alliance with Germany and Italy against Russian aggression" alone. That, the sources said, constituted in fact refusal by Japan to ally herself fully with the "axis" pow CTS against the British-French anti aggression bloc.
