FEDERAL JUDGE
 IS VERY CLOSE
Continued from Page D

an appointment, such as this would be, would be to turn down any name that did not meet with the approval of the two Connecticut senators, particularly that of Senator Francis T. Maloney.
 Lack of an appointment to the federal bench here in Connecticut is generally blamed on a deadlock shortly after the vacancy occurred. It is believed that the choice lay between Congressman Smith and John 0. FitzGerald of New Haven, who is the son of National Commit- teeman David E. FitzGerald.
 Several Changes
 There have been several changes since then in the office of U. 8. Attorney. General Homer s. Cum- mings resigned and was succeeded by Justice Frank Murphy. the latter giving way on his advancement to the Supreme Court to the present incumbent, Robert H. Jackson, all of which has had a distinct bear ing on the Connecticut appoint ment.
 There have been and still are a host of candidates for the judge ship. Every city in the state has a potential dozen or more available appointees. The prolonged delay in naming someone, though, has elim- mated a great many of those who weer originally mentioned or who were believed to be actively making an effort to receive the appoint ment.
 In addition to those mentioned above the names of Attorney Cyril Coleman of Hartford and Attorney Max epelke of Stamford are still heard. as well as several members of the faculty of the Yale Law School.
 It was also rumored at one time that the appointment had been offer- co to Judge P. B.. O'6ulliyan. but he is reported to have expressed q desire to remain on the Superior Court bench

Some reports said that Russia s position again was examined with particular reference to the Soviet statement of disapproval of Bull garia's action in allowing entry of German troops.
 In neutral diplomatic quarters, belief was hardening that Turkey would no longer remain entirely aloof from the diplomatic and nili- tary moves in the Balkans and that Premier Refik SaydaIn or Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu would make a speech in the next few days indicating the course Turkey could be expected to take.
 It was indicated here that British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, in his talk with Saracoglu at Nicosia, on the island of Cyprus, had found out exactly the extent to which Britain could depend on Turkish aid.
 Got All It Could
 It was indicated also that Ger. many now knew that 1t had ob- tained all 1t could from Jugoslavia without risking Jugoslav armed re. sistance and would make ready now for an attack on Greece.
 Political observers believed Rus. sia, motivated primarily by @ desire to keep out of the war but at the same time anxious lest Germany reach the Dardanelles, would inain- tain an attitude of benevolent neu- trality toward Turkey even if Tur- key received direct aid from Britain.
 The feeling here that military ac. ton was near was strengthened by reports that the Turkish and Greek governors of the Thrace area had held meeting.
 Well informed quarters believed that Germany had made 8 last, strong attempt to dissuade Turkey from cooperating with Britain. This attempt, informants reported, was made through Mire Mariassy, Hungarian minister to Turkey, in Q conference with President Ismet Inonu Tuesday while sarfacoglu was visiting Cyprus to talk to Eden.
 Some significance was attached to an editorial in the newspaper Yeni Sabah which said:
 "If the British can create c Salonilka front the Germans may find their position in the Balkans most unpleasant, because an Anglo Greek front would be supported on one side by Turkish territory and on the other by Jugoslav territory. A large British expeditionary force in the Balkans would give Jugoslavia courage at least to defend its terri tory. Our British and Greek allies on their part may be sure that Tur- key will not fail to do its duty"
 (The suggestion here is that Jugo- slavia while making what conces. sions 1t must to Germany will not concede Germany passage of troops across Jugoslavia to attack Greece

 The executive order establishing the board directed Miss Perkins to certify disputes which threaten to burden or obstruct the production or transportation of equipment or materials essential, to national de- fense" only after other conciliation efforts have failed.
 The new mediation board, and its personnel. generally was approved. although some regretted 1t will have no enforcement powers except the weapon of publicity.

 John steelman, conciliation ser- vice director, said he was glad the board has been named and we feel that no finer personnel could have been found"
 The conciliation service" he said, lis determined to assist labor and industry to the fullest extent in maintaining harmonious relations to assure free and uninterrupted flow of materials in the interest of national defense"
