John B. Drew Among l6 EnIisting Today at New <, -f
 Haven Headquarters

New Haven, July 2.-The old ad- monition, Don't take any wooden nickels," apparently didn't feaze Chief Quartermaster Bernard Os- tens of the Navy Recruiting Service the least bit, for today among the sixteen enligtmerts chalked up for Connecticut area, he took credit for recruiting Wood and Nichols of Am sonia.
 William H. Wood, 3rd. the son of MT. and Mrs. William H. Wood, Jr., of 179 Wakelee avenue and Howard J. Nichols, the son of Mrs. Anna Nichols, and the. ward of Walter L. Lique of 76 WeStfield avenue are the Wood and Nichols in question.
 The other fourteen enlisted are: Frank D. Stanhewicz, 42 Allyn ave nue, Anthony J. Przekop, 18th Eighth street, John T. Buchanan, 35 Thirteenth s street, Patrick L. Tedesco, 274 Broad street, and Jo- seph L. M. Vincent. 27 Grosvenor place of Norwich; George R. Ed wards, A White, strett, Stratford: Carmen J.

There are four men in this cate- gory from the local group, and the order is in effect immediately and applies to any going after July 1.
 one other scheduled to leave to- morrow recently enlisted in the U. s. aviation corps and won't go tomorrow.
 As the selective service laws re- uuire 1O-days-notice be given all registrants chosen for service, 1t would be impossible now to replace the five immediately. It was indi- cated today that the five may be added to another local group which will go from here July IA.
 The new ruling states, according to q telegram received today; that congressmen are in agreement on 6 measure which would defer all men 28 or more years old and this bill, now awaiting approval by Con- gress, is retroactive to July l, so If any men 28 years of age or more were irducted after July 1, they would be discharged on passage of the bill.
 It Is therefore ordered that a 30- day deferment be given pending the action on the bill. If it is passed the men in this category will be de- ferred for some time: if it fails to pass, they can be inducted after the 90 days, in normal routine.
 The men from the quota of 22 scheduled for tomorrow who are affected by this ruling and who were notified today that they will not nave to go tomorrow are Thomas M. Purcell of Church street, Vernon Anderson of Park avenue, Franklin w. Wilson of Phoenix ave-

For all we know, those who saw the new comedy, "The Lady Eve", which opened this afternoon at the Warner Bros. State theater, are still laughing, for they saw one of the merriest farces in many 8 sea- son.
 Starring Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda, the new film arrival hits a new high in hilarity. h. cluded in the great comedy cast are such veteran favorites as Charles Coburn, Eugene Palette William Demarest, Eric Blore, Mar tha O'Driscoll and Luis Alberni. Led by Miss Stanwyck and Fonda, playing his first comedy role after series of heavy dramas, the en- tire cast performs brilliantly, play ing their roles right up to the corn- edy hilt.
 The story presents Fonda as the scion of a wealthy family, who falls into the hands of a gang of slick cardsharps, headed by Miss Stan wyck. He also falls in love with her, but his blissful bubble bursts when he learns she's 8 cardsharp. Later, he falls in love with her all over again, this time when she poses as titled Britisher, "The Lady Eve" She looks familiar, but she convinces him he has never seen her before. From there the picture moves on to a series of riotous situa- tions that left todays audiences breathless from laughing.
 You really owe 1t to yourself to see this hilarious hit. It's the fun niest laugh and love story of 1941 :. every second laugh and every scene riot.
 On the same big show is "The Lone Wolf Takes Chance, fea- turing Warren William and June Storey.
 Don't forget the States Early Bird show Friday morning. Doors of the theater will open at 9:30 and according to reports large audience is anticipated. The States regular two big features will be included on this program with regular matinee prices prevailing as of last week.
 Five big-time acts and first-run Hollywood hit have been engaged for the mammoth stage and screen show to be held at the Loew Poli theater, Saturday, March 29th, al midnight, for the benefit of the Greek War Relief Fund. All local theater managers are cooperating with the Amusement Division of the Greek War Relief Drive. Tickets may be purchased at the State box-office or any local theater.
