HURLEY'S VETO.
 ACCLAIMED HERE.
Restaurants, Hotels Now Now In Position To Ob.
 tain Mattresses

Gov. Robert A. Hurley's issuance of an executive order allowing the employment of women entertainers and waitress after 10 p. in. was hailed today as "a boon to the res- taurarts and hotels" of the state by Harmon A. Genlot, executive sec- retary of the Connecticut Restau- rant Owners and Retail Liquor Dealers Board of Trade. MT. Genlot said that the waiving of present restrictions against the employment of women would enable restaurants and hotels to make up for the loss of walters who have taken jobs in defense industries.
 The governors order was issued simultaneously with veto of a bill which would write a similar waiver into law. The chief executive held that the bill was too broadly drawn and would affect present laws against the employment of minors.
 "Our organization is greatly pleas- ed with Gov. Hurley's action" said MT. Genlot. Tt will be boon to restaurants and hotels, which have been facing a grave employment problem because of the fact that many of their male employees have been leaving to take jobs in fac- tories. The governors executive or. der grants the industry what 1t sought even though he saw fit to veto the bill"
 The restaurant organization off, cial said that praise was due Sena- tors Edward P. Egan and Michael V. Blansfield and Reps Daniel J. Ma nancy and John A. Membrino for their support of the bill.
 When the bill was given hearing before a General Assembly commit tee, a principal spokesman on it's behalf was Patsy Brown, local res- taurant owner. He tod the com- mittee that restaurants faced a grave emergency unless allowed to employ women until closing time.

"The author is compelled TO

"Such instruction and the aid
given by those officials TO such
wives tends gravely to encourage
arrogance and contempt on the

"Unless tne activities of this
bureau of social workers are so
restricted (strictly to criminal
prosecutions) there is no limit
TO abuse that II may not eventu-
