The effects of c slump after the war boom on the oindividual, was the chief subject for discussion at the round table forum held last night at the Bronson Library under the sponsorship of the Society for the Advancement of Management. Mrs. William Davison acted as moderator.
 Suggestions ranged from seasonal shifts in vacations to education in budgeting. However, arguments begged down when the problem of post war shut downs was reached. It was indicated that some indus tries might be converted to peace time production, but the question of how this might be done was still the topic for discussion when the meeting was adjourned.

Russo Wins Freedom
 As Liquor Violator
Meadow Street Pool-Room Proprietor Charged With
 Selling Coffee Royals"; Jars, Bottles As Evidence

A discharge was granted when evidence in city court today failed to prove that Joseph Russo, 53, ot SIS South Main street, charged with keeping liquor with intent to sell was guilty. However, Judge John L. Gaffney issued 6 severe warning to Russo that he should exercise great care in dispensing drinks and added: Patrons may come for beverages and may receive some- thing that may be fatal to them."
 Judge Gaffney had reference to the pool-room and restaurant the accused runs on 10 Meadow street when he made the statement and then ordered that Q discharge be entered after he said that no evil dence was shown that Russo sold liquor and that a reasonable doubt existed as to his guilt:
 The court table was cluttered with exhibits ranging from two empty gallon bottles, five glasses on a tray which Pros. Atty. Michael J Galullo said were whiskey glasses and g soda pop bottle, all taken ir the raid.
 Lieut.. Patrick Moylan testified he and Patrolfnan Edward Sullivan en. tered the restaurant March 30, ir plain clothes. Three men were seated at the table enjoying "cof. fee royaw, which he said was coffee with whiskey in 1t. Lieut.. Moylar said when Russo saw them enter he snatched two of the glasses from the customers and ran to the rear and flung them downstairs. He said he recovered one of the glasses ct the foot of the stairs.
 Atty. Frederick Bauby, represent ing the accused, prominently dis played the glass container of cof- fee, which he claimed the proprie- tor served his patrons when the of- tlcers raided 1t.
 Lieut.. Moylan was asked to dis tinguish between the contents in the soda pop bottle and the glass jar which contained "Caffe Anise", Q brand with the flavor of alcohol. Lieut.. Moylan said @ difference ex- isted between the two bottles and that the soda pop bottle contained alcohol and not coffee with the flay- ored anise.
 Atty. Bauby then proceeded to the bench and Judge Gaffney inhaled from the jar. Then the container made its rounds among others con- nected with the case.
 When Atty. Galullo smelled the coffee, he said Q difference was evi- dent between the two. ,.
 During the admittance of the two empty gallon jars, Atty. Bauby ob- jected to it's introduction, saying the bottles were empty despite the labels which Atty. Galullo told the court were containers for alcohol. The court overruled the objection of Atty. Bauby.
 MT. Bauby, in presenting his ar- gument, stated the bottles and glasses were cloudy and dirty and indicated they have not been in use recently. Atty. Galullo maintained this could happen to any glass which has not been in use for "A

 PASS ARMY TESTS
" Other Connecticut Men Inducted at Hartford
 Center

Ralph A. Laudati, George W. Plati and Peter Gromoshak, sent from draft board 32 in Watertown, were among the 30 Connecticut boys &C., cepted for the army under the Se- lective Service Act at the Hartford induction center yesterday. Four teen others were rejected. The boys accepted were immediately sent tc the recruit reception center at Fort Devens, Mass.

Wood ruff, commanding officer of the First Corps area, will be the last until after July 1.
 One man was rejected Tuesday because of flat feet. Another had cataracts end a third @ large turnor on his neck.
 Twenty-four local boys who have been stationed at Fort Devens have been transferred to Camp Wheeler, Macon, Georgia, to continue their milbtary basi training. They will probably be later transferred to Camp Blanding, Fla, to join the 43rd division.
 The men are: Thomas J. Acas, Franklin B. Andrews, Vincenzo Av- gavo, Leon E. Charbonneau, George T. Clark, Joseph G. Dessereau, Ray- mond J. Deschene, John F. Egan, John J. Faby, Jr., Arthur L.
