OPINION ASKED ON
 MARSH SUCCESSOR

An opinion as to whether suc- cessor to State Personnel Director Harry w. Marsh may be selected from outside Connecticut may be asked of Attorney General Francis A. Pallotti by Governor Baldwin.
 The advisory Personnel Commit tee, in announcing qualifications for applicants for the $75OO-a-year post which MT. Marsh will vacate about May 1, said Wednesday that appli- cations will be received without residence restrictions but that Con- necticut citizens will be given pref erence. The committee set April 6 as the final date for filling applica- tions.
 The merit system act states that the personnel director shall be in the classified service, and that classified service employees must have resided in Connecticut for two years prior to their appointment, with exemptions provided when qualified persons cannot be found in Connecticut. It was recalled, however, that in 1887 the appoint ment of MT. Marsh, a New York resident, came after an opinion by the then attorney general Edward J. Daly, that the residence require- lnent did not apply to the personnel director.

NUN ELENA AGAIN AMAzES PEOPLE
Blood Streams From Fore- head for Sixteenth COn=
 secutive Good Friday

Cosenza, Italy, March 22-(UP)- The Nun Elena Aiello today puzzled physicians and priests as blood streamed from her forehead for the 16th consecutive Good Friday. She lay in religious ecstasy on small iron bed in the CoSenZa orphanage.
 During the manifestation, which many regard as a, miracle, the crowds of faithful who yearly make pilgrimage to Cosenza knelt in adoration and prayer outside the humble stone edifice in which Sister Elena Aiello lives.
 Priests and physicians at the Nuns bedside made no effort to stem the flow of blood, which stain ed one pillow after another. For 16 years the phenomenon never has failed to occur on the saddest day of Holy week, the day marking the crucifixion of Christ:
 In previous occasions the bleed- ing usually has stopped about mid- night, leaving Sister Elena's face chalk white.
 Catholics, awed by the manifes- tation, said that most of the blood flowed from the nuns forehead ill much the same manner as did that of Christ when a crown of thorns was pressed on his brow.
 Physicians said that Sister Elena did not appear to suffer and that her lips wer- opened in a faint smile during most of the day.
 Over her head was an image of Saint Theresa, Sister Elena's pro- tectress.

Tainted EcLairs Caused Illness
 Among Workers

Dr. Charles E. Mcfarland, West Hartford health director and former Waterbury physi- milan, conducted the inveStiga- ton into recent food poisoning cases reported at the NiIes-Be- men-POnd small tools factory, a division of the Pratt and Whitney company. 50 employees of the concern were stricken Thursday with illness since traced to eating chocolate ecIairS.
 "The ecIairs are the food un- der suspicion" said Dr. Part land, "since a ajOrity of the employees seem to blame their sickness on this food. It cannot be said they are the cause un- til 8 report from the state laboratory is completed" Dr. Partland, a native of New Haven, interned at St. Mary's Hospital here number of years ago and maintained offices here for number of years, specializing in urOlogy. He was well-known in the local medical profession and was a member of the Waterbury Med ical Society.
 Before accepting the office of health officer in West Hartford Dr. McPartland had removed his practice from Waterbury to New Haven.

present substantial proof of having paid. The question of having to pre- sent the receipts is rather masto- donic proviso as few persons saved dime receipts. ~.
 Difficult Task
 The question of proving that you paid certain number of dimes if you haven't got the receipts, it is generally predicted, by those who know their Westchester county will be sort of a tough one.
 If you are member of the local AA.A. you won't have to go down to WeStchester to collect your dimes. The local branch of that organiza- ton located at the Chamber of Commerce building on Field street will colelct your dimes for you If you present your proof that y:u paid. The local office is preparing for a big rursh and win handle all claims of its members as expedi- tiously as possible. It is the aim of the associa ..on to prevent falsifica- ton of receipts. The A. A. A., pro- viding you are member will save you the trouble of driving down to New York and asking the Westches- ter brothers if they can spare a dime.
 AS result of the New York state Supreme Court ruling that the col lection of tolls was illegal from the time that it started several months ago Westchester County is prepared to start paying back the quarter of million dollars in dimes 1t collec- ted, which any way you look at 1t is a lot of dimes.
 By rlail or In Person
 Payments will begin at the office of Finance Commissioner Gerlach at White Plains. Appli- cations may be made personally or by mail until Oct. 1 the court ruicd.
 Requests must be accompanied by receipt or declaration that the tolls were paid. The validity of each application will be passed on by the commissioner.
 Westchester knew it would have to make refund when the Court of Appeals recently outlawed the toll, but a formal order was de- manded by J. Francis Hayden, counsel for Edmond H. Henderson and Martin Colodny, taxpayers, who satrted the litigation.
 Westchester authorities recently announced they had been informed that several persons had "specu- lated" in the toll receipts and had collected considerable quantities at a substantial discount. They will now be able to leash in."
