Enumerators Appointed

Warden John J. Sheridan said to- day that he has appointed four old age assistance tax enumerators. These are: Burgess George Fellows, Joseph Smith, Edward Hennessey and Stanley Levandauskas.
 Mr. Hennessey is the only one of this group who did not take the enumeration last year but he has had experience in such work, doing it two years ago.
 Each will be assigned certain section of the town and will start work immediately. Their work must be completed by Dec 1. They are to secure the names of those persons living here who are between the ages of 21 and 60 inclusive.
 This includes persons q and SO years old. All enumerated will have to pay the $3 old age assistance tax which is due in February.
 Tax Collector James F. Fitzger- ald urges cooperation with the enlmerators by local residents. He says occasionally enumerators have encountered persons who refuse to divulge the names of boarders or roomers in their homes, who would fall under the classification.
 MT. Fitzgerald points out that a state law requires that such in- formation be given the enumerators ard carries with it maximum pen- alty of $200 fine or six months in- prisonment or both for failure tC give such names. Occasionally the enumerators have had to go back again in the past when the house owner refused to give the names of the boarders. Steps against such persons will be taken this year if trouble is encountered, the collector said.
 The tax goes to the state, although paid here, and the state gives assis- tasice to needy persons 65 years old or more.

Correspondent: .Wm ] Baxter-Phone NausAtuck asl5

Naugatuck, Oct. 20-Twenty local persons were re-assigned to the WPA today, it was learned from Welfare Supt. Leo Scully. These are among the 100 let go during August when their 18-month period with the WPA expired. They are to start work immediately.
 Supt. Scully believes other groups will be added to the WPA here il the future but has no definite word when the next assignments will take place.
 It is believed the hiring of the 20 today will relieve the welfare de- pertinent somewhat as it has had to assist many of tn 100 who were laid off.
 However from time to time, few more have been let go as they reached the end of the IS months of WPA service and some of these have also been added to the welfare department case list.

D.A.V. ABANDONS
 CONSCRIPT DRIVE

Boston, Aug. = (UP) = The dis abled American veterans of the World War today discontinued their campaign for enactment of a uni versal conscription law under which money and labor would be mobilized in event of war.
 The 5000 delegates yesterday adopted recommendation of Ma tional Director Thomas Kirby that instead of pressing for immediate legislation, the organization CO., operate with the war department which believed a more practical plan could be adopted when an emer- gency arose.
 Kirby said that the war depart ment had drafted measures antici- pating any eventuality but was of the opinion that 'the better hand- ing of conscription in the next war would be to permit the enactment of adequate legislation immediately upon declaration of hostilities, rath- CT than be confronted by loss of time in removing obsolete laws and enacting' legislation fitted for the time." at
 Correlated with the D. A. V. con- cention were the national sessions of the orders auxiliary and the trench rats. members of the fun- loving organization.

Text or Proceedings As
 State Asks For Conuictions

Judge: First, with reference tc the motions to dismiss made last Tuesday, I have concluded that l will have to deny all those motions and those motions according to the testimony. With reference to MT CasSels motion to strike out MT. Hickey's testimony insofar as 1t re- lates to conversations with Ralph Coppeto, those conversations hav- ing reference to the whereabouts of Philip Coppeto at the time, l de- cided that I ought to grant that motion and that that testimony be stricken out. With reference to the procedure, gentlemen, think that I should advise the jury before arg uments start that the motions have been denied and also to rely simply on the records made here.
 Cassel I think that instructions ought to be given to the jury with reference to that effect and also to dismiss that conversation with ref- erence to Philip Coppeto.
 Murray: Your honor, I would like to have noted an exception on be- half of MT. Hayes that your honor has denied motions to direct acquit- tai.
 Jury called in.
 Judge: Just before the arggu- ments, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, there is one matter that I ought to speak to you about. have granted the motion to strike out 50 much of MT. Hickey's testimony as related to two conversations which he had with Ralph Coppeto. Those two conversations you probably will recall relate to the whereabouts of Philip Coppeto at the time of the conversation, and that evidence of MT. Hickey's on that one point and on those two conversations is strick- en out. So that in your corsidera- tion of this case, you will lay out of your mind MT. Hickey's testimony insofar and only so far as it relates to those two conversations with Ralph Coppeto.

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 1.-(UP)- Connecticut's first double electric chair execution was set for Dec. Il today when Gov. Raymond E. Bald- win reprieved two men found guilty of staying a Middletown storekeeper in a $6 holdup.

 But supreme court appeals by the defendants necessitated postpone ment of the executive date.
 The gubernatorial reprieve reliev- ed State Prison Warden Ralph H Walker of the immediate necessity of securing an executioner to re- place Robert Elliott, Connecticut's official executioner, who is i'll.
 Walker said undoubtedly someone will be taking his place, but I don't know who"
 Someone might pop up for the job," the warden said. Elliott has offlciated at the two executions held since the electric chair was installed in Connecticut two years ago.
