TOO MANY JOBS
 GOING OUTSIDE

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 3-(UP)- State Labor Commissioner Corrle- Illus J. Danaher declared today that "too many jobs in Connecticuts war industries are going to people from other states because of the failure of our own residents to register at state employment offices"
 A statewide recruiting campaign will be carried on, the commission = CT said, to register every available worker. He said there was a de- mand for workers between the ages of IS to 35 and for men with spe- cial mechanical skills, regardless of age.
 Files of the 18 employment offic- es throughout the state contain the names of more women than men for the first time in the his- tory of the service" he said. Many married women who seek to sup plement the family income have registered, but as the majority have not had recent work experience they are difficult to place"

Shirley Temple Goes Back Into Movies For $1OO,OOO

Hollywood, January 3. - (UP) - Shirley Temple found girls school "dull," so she was back in the movies today with $1Oo0oO annual salary and guaranteed top billing. Her re- tirement and regular attendance in the sixth grade school had lasted less than eight months. Negotia- tions to get her back, in pictures started last October. She signed contract with Metro-G Goldwyn-, Mayer December IS. Superior Court Judge Emmet H. Wilson ap- proved it yesterday.
 Shirley sat in a court chair, ad- jllsting her hat and smoothing her dress while her lawyers discussed the contract. It had several unusual clauses. The first was that her name shall be billed in type as large as that of Mickey Rooney, with whom she will work in the Andy Hardy pictures. Theater owners last week voted Rooney the most popular star in pictures. A1l- other was that she needn't join the Screen Actors Guild, because she

is too young. Shirley is II. She must not appear on more than eight raido broadcasts a year. The studio must provide reasonable lodging" for her and her mother. When she was working for 20th Century Fox she had private bungalow with pink elephants chasing each other around the living room wall, a de luxe kitchen.
 She reports to work February 15 at $2,500 a week, with 40 weeks work guaranteed. Shirley probably could get along without the money. When her old contract was cancelled last May 12, she had earned an esti- mated $3,000,0O0 half of which was in 8 trust fund. Twentieth Century Fox gave her a $300,OO0 bonus. It had been paying her $400,O00 year. Her mother said then that she wouldn't go back to work unless suitable roles were provided. Her last picture, 'The Bluebird,Y was a flop. But no matter how boring sine finds classes, she will have to attend her studios school, between takes. The court ordered that.
