Sullivan today launched a state- wide review of the needs of all WPA project personnel in Connecticut and at the same time announced that all administrative, supervisory and project personnel would be re- quired to file affidavlts of citizen ship on or before March s, 1889.

Ennis and Howard Ferguson of Griffenhagen & Associates. This was voted last night at a meeting Of the committee at city hall with Commissioner Major W.

 The tax collector, on a suggestion of the committee, will prepare a record of personal tax bills two years in arrears and If the finance board and the aldermen approve, these will be placed on the suspense list.

Italian Line Speeds Voyage
 For Cardinal

Comm. Italo verrando, gem
 eral manager of the Italian Line announced this morning
 that Cardinal O'Connell will
 now arrive In Rome on Febru-
 ary 2Sth, a day ahead of all
 previous estimates, as the re- suit of special changes made on his behalf by the management of the Italian Line.
 Ever since 1t became evident several days ago that the sail- ing of the "Saturnia" today from New York was the only suitable connection for His Eminence to Rome. Italian Line officials have been inarshalling the tremendous resources of their far.fiung organization In North and South America and Europe to expedite arrival In Italy to assure participation In the Conclave of the Sacred Col- lege of Cardinals from Its be-
 ginning by His Eminence and his attendants. Cable and radio have both been kept busy.
 Arrangem snts were first con-
 cluded for the "Saturnia" to
 meet the Italian South Amer ica Express liner ''Neptunia" at Gibraltar on February 26th.
 when the Cardinal and his party would transfer and arrive
 at Naples the morning of
 March 1st with the slender
 margin of about four hours to
 transmit the l35 miles to Rome
 for the opening of the Conclave
 at noon. Since unforeseen cir-
 cumstances might delay this
 schedule, further efforts have
 been made by the Italian Line
 management who have now or- dered the "Neptunia" to wait the Cardinals arrival at Gib-
 raltar, to cancel all interme- diate stops and immediately he
 embarks to proceed at full speed to Naples to arrive the
 afternoon of February 2Sth.

Regarding this huge job Administrator Sullivan said; T do not anticipate that this survey will reveal many in Connecticut who are urjustifiabiy on WPA rolls because no one is put on the lists unless he or she is certified by recognized well fare agencies on the basis of need. "
 Under the terms of the new law. this recertification must be com- pleted by March 25. To accomplish thig end 'the state division of in- take and certification will require the cooperation of the usual certi- flying agencies throughout Con- necticut.
 MT. Sullivan said that the new regulations concerning aliens will in. clude all who are not bona fide citizens of the U;iited States Those who have first papers will not be considered as citizens and will, therefore, be separated from their WPA employment. All aliens will be dropped from WPA rolls not later than March 5.

Gangster murders in the United States take back seat and are far outnumbered by killings fol- lowing petty quarerls, while crimes of passion rank second only to the trivial disputes in causing homi- cides, according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Out of 500 homicides occurring among a group of the company's policyholders, from a study of which the statisticians reach their general conclusions, 250 killings resulted from quarrels, and In l16 of these cases, either the slayer, the victim, or both, had been drinking.
 Beloved Dies
 Of homicides resulting from jealousy or thwarted love, the vic- tim of the "crime of passion was more often the beloved" than the rival. Homicides of this sort to- taled 88, and in 53 instances the victim was the beloved"
 In the list of killings arising from petty arguments about fam fly or domestic affairs, money or property usually of small value, and other minor matters, these cases are cited:
 An irate husband beats and kills his wife because his dinner is not ready on time:
 A man shoots a friend after an argument over being the last to be served a blass of beer;
 A lunchroom proprietor shoots a customer after an argument over the quality of a sandwich;
 A man is beaten and killed fol- lowing an argument with another, after one man had stepped on the others foot;
 A quarrel over who should be the first to play mechanical nickelodian causes another hon. icide.

The number of felons slain was 37, oi whom 8 were killed by law of. ficers and four by their intended victims Only two of the hom' icides involved sex offenses, while one man killed his wife in despair over financial troubles.
