YOU'RE kidding about this
Barnard said.
With glance toward Ewald,
Bowling retorted:
well. he wasn't kidding
about the $1,000"
The money may have merely
been paid" Barnard said. "If 10
can he construed az an innocent
acceptance. he can't be con-
victed. Ewald was for concrete
at the outset and felt the same
at the end. Therefore there
never was any competent evil
dence 10 hold him for trial"
Judge Skillman denied his mo-
tion 10 quaSh the charges. Bar
nard then objected TO the Jury
panel. which he said was not COM
plete because II persons had been

COP ASSESSOR APPOINTMENT
 STILL PENDING
Rasnlussen's Name Added 10 List; May Not Be
 Named for Week

Likelihood of the appoint ment of a Republican Inern- Der of the Board of Tax Com missioners and Apportion- Inent, familiarity known as the Assessors, within the next few days was not apparent in City Hall circles as Mayor Vincent A. Seully prepared to be absent from the city over the weekend and it was announced from his office that thered be no appointment this week and perhaps not for at least ten more days.
 The mayor will leave late today for Staten Island, N. Y. where he will attend the annual Mt. Manresa retreat for Catholic laymen spoIl- sored by the Naugatuck Valley band.
 The name of Floyd H. Rasmussen, well-known Republican Party worker and leader, was injected into the competition today. MT. Rasmussen is 8 member of the COP Town Committee and the acknowledged leader in the Town Plot District. Up to now his name had not been linked to the job, which pays $3,100 a year,
 However, there are many other names definitely linked to the ap- potntment, which must be made to fill the vacancy caused by the res- ignation of Attorney Frederick w. Palomba who resigned the first of July to accept the post of city court prosecutor.
 The list is an imposing one, even including at one time the name of Ex-Mayor Perriello, although The Democrat was assured at the outset of the assessorship race that iie was not interested in any such ape pointment.
 With no attempt to list the can didates in order of likelihood Of ap- pointment they include: Harold V. Boyce, prominent in Young Repub- hcan circles; Addison Ashborn, former member of the Board of Aldermen: Alderman William Ger ardi; John w. McGurk, well-known labor leader; Fenton w. Niver, member of the Board of Public Works; Angelo Possemato, promi- nent in Italian World War veteran circles; Anthony PetriIlo, candidate on the COP city ticket; Robert F. Stone. former city sheriff and we'll known in sporting circles through out the state; Charles Schmidt former alderman; and Albert Schia- vone. who very probably has more backing among Italian Republicans than any of the other candidates.
 Vernon Hall, Republican Town Chairman, was also mentioned for the post when names were first voiced, but promptly announced that he would not consider it. It is believed, though, that the uiti- mate choice of the mayor will be made from . list of possibly three names to be submitted to him by MT. Hall.

l2,OOO PLANES
 FOR FIRST YEAR
That Is Record Made in Aircraft Factories of
 United States

Los Angeles, Aug. 1-(UP)-Amer- ican aircraft factories produced nearly 12,0oo military planes in the first year of intensified national de- fense effort, a survey by the Aero nautical Chamber of Commerce re- vealed today.
 Aircraft plants, now manufactur- ing military planes three times as fast as they were 8 year ago, com- pleted 11,647 craft during the l2 months which began in June, 194O, when the government began placing large-volume orders.
 Last June, production reached an all-time high of 1,476, two planes every hour, around the clock.
 The Chamber said production for the first six months of 194l was T.. 423 bombers, troop transports, fight CTS and trainers.
 CThe entire output for 1940 was 5000 planes)
 Official government quarters esti- mate, the Chamber said, that be- tween 18,00o and 10000 planes will be produced this year.

Continued from Page D authorities, in London, Moscow and here. The plan is believed to have been an important topic in Presi- dent Rooseyelt's meeting with the Russian military mission and Soviet Ambassador Constantine OumanSky yesterday.
 The Russians were warm in their praise of MT. Roosevelt. Lieut.. Gen F. M. Golikov and Engineer Gen Alexander Respin said they were im- pressed by his grasp of international developments and the technical as- poets of war.
 The Russian-aid plan would pro- vide that when the British or the U. S. armed forces waive prior de- livery on materials for the Soviet, they would immediately place new contracts and thus receive the muni- tionS at a later date.
 Ohicials said the amount of aid to be allotted Russia has not yet been determined. The major factor is how much equipment can be spared by American and British forces.
 The Russians. 1t was said, have considerable cash with which to pay for immediate needs and there was no indication that the Russian aid plan would become a part of the Lend-Lease program at present. The administration is preparing to ask congress for additional funds esti. mated at $7.000. .000. 900, principally fair aid to Britain and China.
 Details Must Walt
 Ofiicials believed that details of the Rlsslan.aid program will not be formulated pending a report from Lend.Lease CooFdinator Harry l., Hopkins, who is In Moscow confer ring with Premier Josef 6talin. Hop klns had conferred with British and Russian ofiieials in London,

 Charges of advanced rent rates have been made repeatedly in this city against private landlords, and against banks. While the latter have consistently denied that high CT monthly rates have been applied evidence in support of these con- tentions continues to crop up.
 Planned Raises
 The Colonial Trust Co. was re- gently named together with other local banking concerns, as having raised or were planning to raise the rents of tenants occupying dwellings owned or managed by them.
 Claude T. Wilson, assistant secre- tary of the Colonial Trust Co. in re- sponse to a query by the Democrat, yesterday. fiatly denied that the bank contemplated raising rents. He asserted that the runor concerning the possible increase was an idle one, in spite Of the fact that tenants on property belonging to the Colonial Trust Go. had received letters earlier in the day notifying them of the proposed increases.
 Letters sent out by the bank, and signed by the assistsnt-SecretaFy, read as follows;
