Eric's eyes We're no longer anx-

They were proud. He whispered,
That's a god-aWful dress, honey,
but you've got stuff"
Eric Was proud of her. He must
be proud of her on Sunday. She
dressed carefully, wearing her light
green tweed suit, and the soft
sweater and little riding felt that
were the same shade. Her chamois
gloves were spotless and her alli-
gator brogues smartly polished

husband, saying, Will I do?'

There were at least 40 people at

JAPANESE SHIP
 LANDED AT LAST
Disembarked 247 Pas sengers, But $3,0OO,OOO
 Cargo of Silk Goes Back

San Francisco, July 31.-(UP)- The Japanese luxury liner Tatuta Maru waited in San Francisco har- bor today for the fuel and supplies that will permit her to return to Japan. She had finally ventured into American waters to disembark PAT passengers.
 The NIX Lines expected her to sail at noon tomorrow, if the treas- ury department promptly issues the permits. It was believed that her $3,O000O0 cargo, mostly raw silk would be taken back to Japan, at a heavy loss.
 Insurance premiums on the silk are $500 day, and 1t probably has lost weight and value during the voyage from Japan and the six days the liner hovered of the coast afraid to come in. Moreover, no car go was being loaded, and no pas sengers will be carried on the return trip.
 Because President Roosevelt has frozen Japanese credits, the pro- ceeds of her cargo could not be transferred to Japan.
 The liner tied up late yesterday and the passengers, about 150 of whom are Americans, rushed down the gangplank. None resented hav- ing had to spend six days 100 miles short of their destination, but all were travel weary.

DIRECTOR MARSH
 CALLED FOR CUTS
State Department Heads Advised to Slash Their
 Personnel

Hartford, Conn.,, July 21-(UP)- State Personnel Director Harry w. Marsh today advised all heads of state departments and institutions that "every possible attempt will have to be made to cut the volume" of the personnel departments work. Marsh said the reduction in work was necessary because the General Assembly sliced the depart ment's budget by $60OO0 for the current biennium. Marsh said that among the work to be eliminated were routine ratification of hirings, departures and leaves of absence.
 At the same time, the personnel director directed another communi- cation to institutional heads. He said he understood it is impossible to secure the services of competent men and women in certain positions at the minimum rates of pay in- cluded in the compensation plan."
 Marsh authorized the institutioI5 heads to raise the level of pay Tor certain classifications in the low salaried positions to attract job seekers.

Philadelphia, July 3i-(UP)-The Gotham Silk Hosiery company closed its Courtland mill today, throwing 40 hosiery knitters out of work.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-31

The settlement called for an ln- crease in wages of eight cents an hour, to be paid as of June 4, and over the subsequent period each enlp p1oye of the company netted basic pay of $22.40, according to John J. Driscoll, international representa- tive of the union.
 Other firms which distributed ac- cumulated retroactive pay today were the Waterbury Clock Go. and the A. H. Wells Go. The Mattatuck Mfg. co. and the Bristol Brass Go. of Bristol, both of which recently granted eight-cent-an-hour in- creases to employees, have already disburged the back pay to their workers. MT. Driscoll said, and the Oakyille Co., branch of the Scoyill Mfg. co. made its payments yeSter- day.
 Each of the 140 workers at the A. H. Wells CO, received retroactive pay for nine weeks, amounting to $28.80, and some got higher amounts for overtime, paid at the rate of time and half.
 Clock Co. Benefits
 Payments to the 2,300 employees of the Waterbury Clock Co, amount inc to eight weeks of back wages, were ,$i9.2O plus overtime. The agreement of the union with the Oakyille co. called for the same in- crease of eight cents an hour, dat ing back to May IS. Thus each of the 750 employees of the company received at least $25.60 in retroactive pay.
 All the companies which made the recent agreements providing for back pay to their employees delayed the paymentS until today because of the difficulty involved for their ac- counting departments, particularly in the case of as large an organiza' tion as the American Brass Co.
 John DriScoll, representative of the union which negotiated with the various companies for the wage tn- crease, left today to attend the na- tional convention of the union in yoplsn, Mo. Others who accompanied him were John E. Mirfaeld, Thomas P. HeAley, Richard LeRoy and Wil- tam Moriarty.
 The main topic at the convention is expected to be the continuation and extension of the present pro- gram of organization of all brass workers, which has proved so ef- fecttve here in the Naugatuck Val- icy.

assessment, alleging that the amount was excessive. On Septem- Der 13, 1940, the superior court en- tered a judgment reducing the as- sessed valuation of the buildings to $120, ,000, making a total of $149,350. Six days later, according to the complaint, taxes were paid on the basis of the courts ruling.
 On May 6, 1941, the realtor learned that the correction had not been made on the 1889 grand list when it received a tax bill based on $209,- $50, instead of on $149,35o, the amount set by the court. This was done, it was charged, without the container concern receiving any mo- tice from the board regarding an increase of valuation.
 This action, the relator coatended deprived 1t of its right to appea be- fore the board of relief of the city, as provided by city statutes.
 The complainant concern request ed court order correcting the as- sessed valuation by reducing the taxable amount; also that Tax Col lector Mangini prepare 8 new tax bill, and issue the proper receipts; and that he receive payment accord ing to the corrected figures.
 In ruling that the container com- pany was entitled unded the provi- sions of Sec. 1l41 of the General Statutes to notice of any increase in the valuation of the property, Judge Wynne declared: "The relator having elected to stand on its tech nical rights, and the court agreeing with its claims of law, judgment must be entered for the realtor."
 Mentioned as co-defendantS in the action were the following mem- bers of the board of tax commits sioners and apportionment: John J. Kilduff, John Jenusaitis, Frederick w. Palomba, Jane Kilduff and Jo- seph H. McGinnis.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald represented the realtor, and Corp. Counse1 J. Gregory Lynch ar1- swered for the respondents.
 Although Corp. Counsel Lynch could not be reached at press time today, 1t was thought that an ap- peal might conceivably be taken to the state supreme court of errors in Hartford.

 The accused said he then went with his friends somewhere and later entered the hotel bar again, and said that the detective watch- ed him and came to him.
 He said he had a glass in his hand and while being escorted to the door the motion which the of- ficer's tug created smashed his glass against the frame of the door. Prosecuting Atty. William K. LaWlor asked Redican if it couldn't pos- sibly be that he threw the glass against the door. The accused at- tributed the broken glass to a mo- tion of the body while being bundled off from the premises.
 Defense Atty. John F. Tobin oh- jected to part of the questioning, adding that it did not bear on the facts in question. VI

 Redican told the court that he had worked at Las Vegas, Nevada, but that he had not worked for many months. Pros. Atty.

NAMES FOR TWO HOUSING SITES
 BEING SOUGHT
New Project Manager Re- quests RecOmmenda-
 tiOns From City

David T. McGrath, housing manager for the local defense project, today asked for sug- gestions from Waterburians as to names for the two sites on which federal authorities are now at work building homes for defense workers. The principal restriction, he said, is a federal regulation which prevents their being named after living persons. Otherwise, any name which is req sonably appropriate and moderately euphonious merits consideration.
 Work on the two sites continues to progress, and MT. McGrath an- ticipates that the dedicatory cere- monies for the first lot of houses will take place about Sept. 15. A special program will be arranged for the occasion, in which Mayor Scully and other civic dignitaries will participate.
 MT. McGrath expects to move out to one of the sites sometime next week, and to set up permanent headquarters on the spot. He will discuss the housing situation there with prospective tenants, and will let the houses to needy defense workers in lots, as soon as they are completed, and the various utilities arranged for.
 The two sites on Hamilton avenue and on Long Hill road together comprise just under sixty acres, the former being the larger of the two federal authorities are making every effort to make the locations attractive, with recreation fields conveniently situated nearby. Every attempt will also be made to allow as much diversity as possible among the houses, which will be of various rolors and sizes,
