PERSONALITIES
 IN QUARANTINE
May Be Charged With Vio- lati0n of Federal Quar-
 antine Laws

Boston, July 22-(UP)-Four so- cially-prominent young women were quarantined in their families north shore homes today following their return from California where they were exposed to infantile paralysis
 Dr. Frederick J. Bailey, deputy Boston health commissioner. said they escaped supervision at Chicago on their trip home and might be charged with violating federal health regulations.
 Authorities declined to reveal the young women's names.
 Ordered by California authorities to remain isolated for IA days-the incubation period of the dread germ the girls finally gained permission to return here. They were provid- ed with private compartments on a transcontinental train and ordered to refrain from mingling with the public.
 Upon reaching Chicago, however, they left the train and were not seen again until they reached Bos- ton, according to Dr. Bailey. Mean time. nationwide search had been ordered.
 They immediately were placed un- der supervision of family physicians and public health officers, he said.
 The deputy health commissioner said their departure from the train might be deemed a violation of the federal quarantine laws.

Plants Getting Govern- ment Orders Are Being
 Surveyed
INSPECTION METHODS
 USED ARE CHECKED
Employment of Aliens Also Probed; Smith Backed
 Educational Orders

Officers of the U. s. Army have been in Waterbury for more than a week, making a survey of local factories which have received orders from the War Department, it was learned today. The group includes several off cers of high rank. One pur- pose of the visit is to check the inspection methods used at local plants which do work for the government. A standardized ir- spection system is being placed into effect.
 Another reported purpose is to check on the employment of aliens in. the factories. Such employees are not allowed to work on goods which is being manufactured for the gov- ernment.
 Orders Received Here
 A number of War Department orders have been received recently by local factories and more are expected. The orders cover many types of war materials and equip- ment, ranging from shell cases down to gas mask parts. Several other local plants do considerable work for the U. s. Navy.
 During the World War, Waterbury was one of the nations key cities in the manufacture of munitions and war materials, and the city would probably play an even more import ant role in the event of any future conflict.
 Sponsored By Smith
 The educational orders program of the War Department, sponsored originally by Congressman J. Joseph Smith of this city, is expected to do much to have industry prepared to manufacture the necessary supplies on a moments notice. The aim of the program is to have the factories ready to begin immediate manufac- ture of war goods if the occasion arises. To accomplish this, "edu- cational" orders are given to vari- ous factories, so that they will be familiar with manufacturing pro- cedure if called on for war mater ials and supplies.
