"There were clothes all over the place and they had their shoes and stockings of"
 It was Patrick Frank McCann telling about a party he attended early this morning at PAT North Main street, not as an invited guest, however.
 Seems there a.z:1d been parties in the same apartment before a1:u ti1e grape, or a substitute thereof, had been sprinkled freely. Neighbors awoke and complained of noise which swept over the area like a blast of steam on the cold night air.
 Five in Party
 Two women and three men faced Judge Mascolo in city court today and Prosecutor Frank T. Healey called Officer McCann to the stand.
 In the prisoners cage Steven Shea, 50, occupant of the apartment, dis played one really black eye, another just tinged with similar hue.
 All five admitted to drinking but Shea, hearing the charges against him, "intoxication and keeping a disorderly house." muttered to the attending officer: "It was no disor- derly house."

He pointed out, more over, that every venireman who had signed for jury duty on this special panel had declared himself then to be able to reach an impartial ver- dict, based on testimony as pre- sented. Any one now having "a change of heart he said, would have his name stricken from the blue ribbon panel and placed on the general jury list.
 Reads Novels
 In the ensuing questioning of talesmen the court found one who said he had not read the newspa- pers last autumn about the Hines case. He was Frederick Van Pat ten, of 75 West Forty-Sixth street who said he was "a contact man for the Board of Education, working with radio stations.
 MT. Van Patten explained he had been too busy reading novels last autumn to bother with the news papers, and when asked by MT. Stryker what novels, he mentioned The Citadel, and "The Yearling". MT. Stryker used one of his peremp- tory challenges upon him.

 The work is being highly endorsed by members of the medical and legal profession. Priests and minis ters have also joined in praising the o.Jectives and commenting on the splendid work accomplished to-date with meagre funds.
 Mrs. Mark Sperry, Jr., is chair man of the finance committee and Richard Hunt, treasurer.
 Among the prominent community leaders who endorsed the campaign is Rev. Dr. Eugene Cryne of the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service His statement follows:
 Tt is with great pleasure that the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service publicly acknowledges the splendid cooperation the Water bury Mental Hygiene Society give through the services of Dr. Chris tina Leonard, psychiatrist who spends one half day each week with clients of the Diocesan Bureau who are referred to her by social workers. The result has been most beneficial to both the client and the social worker.

WALTHAM WIVES
 TO GET 2 KISSES

Waltham, Mass, Jan. 24-(UP)-- Waltham wives whose husbands be- long to the newly-organized "Grat- itude Club" are assured of at least two kisses daily.
 The club was formed by the mar ried men of Lakeview Union Evangelical church after the Rev. Walter Schoepfer preached ser mon What Is the Most Horrible Sin?"
 The M. H. S., according to Parson Schoepfer, is ingratitude. At his suggestion the club was organized. Besides pledging a minimum of two kisses daily, the husbands promise to express appreciation after each meal prepared by their wives.

 Shea, informing the judge that his black eyes were the result of a fight two weeks ago which had cost him his job at local manufacturing con- cern, had his sentence suspended and was placed on six months pro- bation.
 Nigh Caps!
 All of the defendants admitted tt drinking. But Shea told the court the party was about to break up when Officer McCann and other police in plain clothes arrived just after the turn of midnight.
 It was just one of those things, everybody trying to get possession of the bottle for a last drink, the court was told.

That Waterburians are interested in the success of the appeal made by the Waterbury Mental Hygiene society and its campaign for $5,000 to carry on its program here, has been made evident by inquiries and donations.
 Prominent citizens appreciating the value of the society's efforts to cure mental illnesses and avert pos- sible insanity in the most extreme cases, as well as to reduce juvenile delinquency here are contributing to the fund.

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERTLL

Raleigh, June 7-Dudley Bagley,
State REA head and a University
trustee board member, tells this one
about the election of DR.. Ralph Nc
Donald to a U. N. c. post at the board
session Monday
When the recommendation of the
Mcdonald appointment was put to
a vote, there was chorus Of ap-
proval and no distinctly audible dis
sent. However, there was some
thing suspiciously like collective
sigh or grunt and one of the mem
bers sitting near Mr.. Bagley re-
marked:
Il wonder if those were signs of
relief at getting Mcdonald out of
politics or if they were votes cast
against him just from habit
All accounts of the trustee meet
ing indicate that Marvin Ritch, erst-
while firebrand and political stormy
petrol, was just as docile as during
the General Assembly.
