 State Capitol, Hartford, June H. Posting of e $S,000 reward for in- formation leading to the arrest oi former Controller Daniel J.

Tho chief executive net- cd under the provisions of e stat- ute which the General Assembly adopted two weeks ago.
 Despite tho fact that he was un. der surveillance of state police Leary vanished somewhere In downtown Waterbury on the day that the State Supreme Court of Errors handed down Q decision upholeling the convictions of de- fendantS In the sensational Water. bury conspiracy case. Leary had been sentenced to serve from 10 to lS years in the state prison at WetherSfield. Other defendants in. cluding former Lieut-Gov. and Mayor Frank Hayes, who had been free pending settlement of their uDDGoAS WGkG bbRGAA Ahtp tNotVdy and are now serving their sen. tences.
 Many rumors of Leary's where- abouts have been heard since his escape, but there has been no defi- nite indication as to the location of his hideaway. He has been re- ported at various times In Mexico, Texas, Florida and South Amer ica.
 The act authorizing the gover- nor to offer Q reward of up to $3,- 900 in cases involving fugitive convicted of major crime was passed by both houses of the Gen. eral Assembly several weeks ago. Its adoption had been recommended, by States Attorney Hugh M. AL corn, who served as special prose- cutor in the lengthy conspiracy trial in the Brass City which re- suited in the conviction of Leary, Hayes and the others.
 Civil actions to recover city funds from the surety firm which bonded the former controller and from his personal estate are now in progress in the Waterbury supe- rlor court.

Defense Industry Boom Continues to Move Elm.
 ployment Figures Up
S3S MORE EMPLOYED IN
 MAY THAN IN APRIL
All Business lndices Rise With Employment; Bank
 Savings Show Sole Drop

The number of persons em- ployed in Waterbury scared well beyond the 45,000 mark as the defense boom contin- ued to send local industry and trade to new heights during May. The Chamber of Commerce business survey for last month, issued today, shows a total of 45,348 per- sons steadily employed, the figure representing a gain of s3S over the previous all-time rec ord of 44,5i0 set in April and repre- senting a gain of i0,b08 jobs over May of last year,
 Local employment Is now almost 100 per cent greater than during the low point of the depression, The 45,34s figure for last month compares with one Of 23,02i for April, 1883.
 All Indlces Rise
 Spurred on by the industrial up. surge, almost every other local bus. iness index rose sharply during May, The sole exception was bank Sav- ings, but a loss of $4li,000 in this item during the month is account cd for by the fact that May Is tax payment month and many with. drawals were made to pay city taxes Bank clearings and bank debits continued to increase.
 Despite the arrival Of daylight say. ing time, consumption of electricity increased by l,260 900 kilowatt hours over April and by 6,i0o,000 kilowatt hours over May, i940. Gas consump- ton was less than In April, but was, nevertheless over i5,000,000 cubic feet greater than in May of last year. Postal receipts were lower than in April, but higher than last year. The number of telephones In use reached a new high mark, the total climbing to 22,050 as 278 new stations were placed in service. Freight tonnage parked up another sizeable gain.

 Boats in HarbOr

London, June il-(UP)-The air ministry reported today that RAF' bombers heavily attacked Brest dur ing the night and officials said they may have hit the NaN 10000 ton cruiser, Prinz Eugen, believed to. have taken shelter in the har- Dor.
 The air ministry said that "a large weight of bombs" was drop ped upon the docks and anchorages at Brest where an admiral hipper class cruiser, believed to be the PrinX Eugen, had been spotted.
 The Prinz Eugen was the com- panion of the German dreadnaught, Bismarck, on her foray into the Atlantic, and slipped through the British searching parties which ran down and sank the Bismarck.
 Tn addition to the 10.OOO-ton cruiser, the German battleships, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, 26.OO0- tons, have been reported for many weeks to be lying at Brest and have repeatedly been attacked by the RAF.
 It was understood that the raid was of first importance and that big bombs, possibly including the super-bombs which had done so much damge to Hamburg and other German targets. were dropped on docks and anchorages throughout the area where the German ships had taken shelter.
 The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau had taken refuge at Brest late in March after raiding shipping in the Atlantic.

Washington, June ill., (UP)-A division of marines and q division of army infantry have been given equipment priorities to permit @ po- tential American expeditionary force to be created at top speed, 1t was learned from informed congressional sources today ...
 Informants explained, however, that these were no immediate plans for sending 6 force outside the United States. They said the two divisions were being prepared for such emergencies as may arise.
 This information coincided with inquiries from Portugal regarding President Roosevelt's intention to defend the Portuguese -owned Azores and Cape Verde Islands in the At- lantic against any Axis attack.
 The two priority divisions have first call on equipment and trained men, the United Press was informed. They would make up the foot soldier components of a task force" If MT. Roosevelt decided to awe over Frnch Martinique or the Portuguese islands. But the president told his congressional advisers last week that he had no immediate plans to seize Martinique and the sending of an expedition to the Azores and Cape Verde Islands depended on Nazi domination of Portugal.
 The first marines are now at Par ris Island, s. C.. their home base. They trained last summer and fall at the United States Caribbean strong hold at Guantanamo, Cuba. The first army division is training at Fort Devens, Mass.
 General George c. Marshall, chief of staff, disclosed to the House Ap- propriations Comimttee during re- cent hearings on the 1922 Army bill that the first division was a task force of first priority"
