WATERBURY MEM TO ENTER PLEA
EmmOns, LOughlin and Teller Face Rockville
 Magistrate Tomorrow

Three Waterbury men, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses will be put to plea tomor- row so that they may elect whether they will be tried by court or jury in Holland county superior court iil Rockville.
 The men are former Supernumer- ary Policeman Joseph Emmons Thomas "Locko" Loughlin and Jo- seph Spot" Teller.
 It is alleged that the trio solicited advertising for the State Police Association program after it wa: printed. The police program was published in connection with the annual state convention which was held in this city August 3 and 4.
 The arrests were made during the closing hours of the convention by state and local police. After lengthy questioning, Emmons, according tc police, admitted taking part in the alleged fraud and implicated the other two men. Police said Emmons admitted using his badge and cre- dentials in the solicitation.
 The resignation of Emmons from the police department was submit ted following his arrest. and accept ed by Police Superintendent Will liam J. Roach.
 Investigation by state police be- gan after complaints by business men and liquor permittees in the northeastern part of the state. The investigators found that the men had paid for advertising which they were told would appear in the con- vention program. The program had already been printed at the time.
 The trail led to Waterbury and Emmons was called in for question: ing. Loughlin and Teller were ar- rested several hours later. A fourth man, Stanley Pannone, 20, was also arrested, but was later freed when police were convinced that he had no part in the alleged racket.
 Detective-Lieut. John Calvin and other local police officers have been summoned to appear at Rockville. Emmons, Teller and Loughlin will be put to plea tomorrow and, if they plead not guilty date for their trial will be fixed by Judge Els.

SLIGHT INCREASE
 IN EMPLOYMENT
European War Felt Here Stocks Boom; Embargo
 Effect Not Yet Known

Most of the principal factories in Waterbury have registered slight increases in employment and in or ders received since the outbreak of war in Europe, 1t was reported to- day The stock of Scovill Co.,, and of Anaconda and Kennecott, whose local subsidiaries arc the Ameri- can Brass Co.,, and the Chase Brass & Copper Co.,. respectively, has risen sharply within the last week, dur ing which hostilities have been go- ing on.
 It is not known as yet just what effect the present embargo on war materials will have on the local concerns, as there is still some un- certainty as to what constitutes war materials.
 Employment offices during the week have not seen as large crowds in many years, many being ap. parently hopeful of a real boom in local industry. The actual increase thus far registered Is far from the boom proportions of the one ex- perienced during the World War, but whether 1t will develop into some- thing similar will depend largely on the extent to which the embargo is construed to affect materials other than actual munitions.

John ~. Garner will leave the
capital for his Texas home II the

neutrality legislation, 1t was learn
ed today.
Friends Of Garner said he would
take his personal adjournment
as soon as congress completes sc-
ton on the administrations relief
and tax bills. He hopes to leave
for Uvalde, Texas, about July s
or :. it was said.
This was learned after the fol-
lowing developments indicated a
prolonged fight in both the house
and senate over neutrality:
Mime OF the 10 Republicans on
! the house foreign affairs COM
mlttee made public a minority re-
port asserting the administration
supported neutrality bill, intro
duced by Acting Chairman Sol
Bloom, D.. n. Y. would confer
too much wsr-msking power on
President Roosevelt and endanger
national security.
o-Bi-partisan group of Is sena-
4 tors pledged themselves to an
uncompromising fight" against re-
peal OF the present mandatory
arms embargo. Blooms bill would
repeal the embargo.
Gamers decision to go home
was understood to have been made,
despite earlier plans to stay until
the end. He had felt his leaving
before adjournment might be in
terrupted as a break with the
president. He believes now, 1t was
said, that If he stays until the
major portion Of the administra-
tons program Is enacted, he will
not be criticized for not staying
until neutrality is settled.
