Bill On Alternate
 Jurors To Be Adopted
Very Little Opposition Expected When Public Hearings Take Place - Local Trial Cited
 New Probation System Proposed

porters all agreed in favor of the establishment of a statewide ju- venile court system but disagreed on details of the proposals.
 Speaking on the probation bill Miss Crowley said on behalf of the Connecticut Probation association:
 "When we come to face the problem of delinquency and crime honestly fact it. we discover the all important part played by the Probation Officer.
 "No Court-with all Its officials can perform mircles. But the right kind of Probation Officer-can render the most important type of public service by revealing the needs of those who come into Court, by skill in being helpful in coordinating the efforts of every agency which may have @ part in educating the offender and re- storing him to useful citizenship; with good educational background in environmental factors and with common sense and personality that can and will work with others.
 "Because this Bill proposes to try to give us more Probation Off, ficers who are capable of carrying on under the provisions this bill, because Connecticut is a great State which should lead and not follow in legislation of this type, and, last of all because this bill recognizes that we have in our Courts Probation officers who can meet these qualifications and does not propose to legislate them out of office. wish to register our approval"
 FulI-Time Judges
 The juvenile court bills under consideration differ in regard to many provisions, among them salaries of judges, full-time or judges, jurisdiction of the courts number of the courts, number Of probation officers, and so on.
 Approving the juvenile court plan were Mrs. Edith Valet Cook, of New Haven, executive secretary of the Connecticut Child Welfare associa- ton; Mrs. Frances B. Roth of New Haven, Judge William Harney of Hartford, and Mrs. Herbert c. Fish, CT of Hartford
 It is expected that the committed will bring to the floor of the as' sembly q bill embodying features oi several of the juvenile court bills under study.

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. l0-- The bill authorizing the use of al- ternate jurors in civil and criminal trials in the courts of the state will be given a hearing before the ju- diciary committee March 2. Little opposition to the measure is ex- pected to develop.
 The need for alternate jurors dur ing protracted trials has come into prominence since the start of the Waterbury conspiracy trial in No- vember. Lawyers agreed that mis- trial caused by the death or seri- ous illness of a juror should be avoided If possible.
 Local Trial
 In the Waterbury trial, two al- ternate jurors are serving, but only by virtue of stipulation agree ment signed by attorneys for the state and the defense. The present statutes make no provision for the use of alternates in Connecticut trials.
 Under the plan, the alternates would serve as members of the reg ular jury If any of the regular jur- ors should die or become incapaci- tated.
 Both Republican and Democratic leaders of the senate and house are supporting the alternate juror bill. It was originally planned to rush the measure through early in the session so that 1t would be ef- fective for the Waterbury trial but the stipulation agreement made this action unnecessary.
 Establishment of state probation system was strongly advocated be- fore the judiciary committee yes- terday afternoon by Miss Kathleen Crowley, of Waterbury, president Of the Connecticut Probation associa- ton. Miss Crowley, who is juvenile probation officer of the Waterbury city court, declared that the state and Its citizens would benefit by the setting-up of a state board of probation and a statewide proba- ton system.
 Possible Appointee
 Miss Crowley, who has been mem toned as @ possible appointee to the juvenile court bench. did not speak during the hearing on bills which would set up state system of juvenile courts. Strong backing to the bills, however, was given by number of speakers. The sup-
