New Haven, Conn, Oct. 20-tUP) -The selection of minor court judges in Connecticut by the Gen. eral Assembly was assailed today by Supreme Court Chief Justice Will liam M. Maltbie. who suggested the governor alone should be responsible for such appointments. Justice Maltbie spoke to a meeting of the State Bar association in Yale Law school.
 "The exercise of the power of se- lection by a group of men such as compose the judiciary committee." :" Justice Maltbie said. ''goes far to destroy the sense of responsibility for the appointment which inheres In c selection by a single individual.
 Moreover, the selections are necessarily made in the great ma jority of instances by group. most Of the individuals of which do not belong in the community where the court sits .ards are therefore uli. familiar with local conditions arc in no real sense ansWegahle to tho

 Washington, Oct. 20 = (U.PJ - Manpower officials today were con- sidering a plan to require all em- ployers-probably those in civilian as well as in war production-to hire all workers through the U. s. Employment Service, ub-diviSion of the War Manpower Commission.
 A top-ranking official said such control over hiring workers-which would be exerted through a sys- tenn of labor would go far toward solving the manpower pro- lem for many months to come with out labor draft" law.
 He said it would be accomplished by executive order from President Roosevelt, but emphasized that the ide sill is in the study stage among officials of the War Manpower Com. mission, Selectvie Service, and the War Production Board. The pro- posed order would be made under the war powers acts.
 Under the plan being studied. the employment service would allow employers to hire workers only ii they had been assigned priority ratings for the specific type of work CTS needed. Principal aims of the program would be:
 1. To stop employers from "plr- ating" workers from other plants by offering higher wages. This is one of the most disruptive features oi the entire manpower problem.
 2. To stop employers iron "hoarding" workers in anticipation of future need by assigning highly skilled persons to low-skill jobs ana keeping others on full-time pay foI ! part-tiTne jobs.

NAzIS CONCERNED
 ABOUT AFRICA
Propaganda HulabalOO of Allied Attack DiSClOSeS
 Real Condition
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (Of the United Press War Desk

German concern over the Axis position in Africa IS manifest in the propaganda hulabaloo over the pos sibility of an Allied attack on Da- kar, French West Africa, and the in- cessant attacks on the island for tress of Malta, opposite Libya.
 The assault on Malta, which is a deadly menace to the Axis supply line to Libya and Egypt, is an almost certain indication of one of two things.
 The first would be that Berlin sees the opportunity to take Alex andria and Suez and open a back door to the middle east rapidly slip ping away and is planning a final all-out assault before the Allies get so strong that thee nance will be gone forever.
 The second and more probable is that Germany fears an Allied of- fensive which might sweep the Axis not only out of Egypt but out ot Libya and all North Africa.

 Moscow, Oct. 20.-(UP)-FTont- line dispatches reported today that radical deterioration" of weather conditions at Stalingrad, was sharp ly restricting Naz operations. and suggested the city's fate may hinge on the ability of the Red Army and Marines to keep supplies and achievements moving across the ivy Volga river.
 The Soviet reports said that tenn peratures had dropped sharply at Stalingrad and that cold rains and winds were sweeping over the open steppes which lea to the battered industrial center.
 The dispatches said the Naxl luftwaffe had been forced to ground many units because of the impossi- bility of carrying out missions in the bad weather, thus aftording the weary Stalingrad defenders some respite from the almost constant level and dive-b bombing they have undergone in the 57 days of battle.
 Some planes still were tn action. the reports said, and were being met by Red air fleet fighters, op- erating under most unfavorabls conditions.
 The reports said that the ap- proach of winter when the Stalin- grad area Is swept by biizzards and sub-zero temperatures is now plain ly seen at the front.

BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Cold winds and rain swept the long Russian front to- day, heralding the imminent arrival of winter weather and the expected cessation oi large-scale military opera. tions. Moscow reported that bad weather had closed down on the critical Stalingrad front where stubborn Soviet forces held their battered lines against incessant Nazi attacks, Ber- lin said that cold and rain had spread south to the Caucasus where - combined with stiff Russian re- sistance = 1t hampered Nazi efforts to push further south.
 Fighting from the ruins of Stall ingrad's big industrial plants. So- viet forces in the 57th day of the battle reported no further with drawals. Nazi air action was re- duced sharply by the bad weather and there were indications that the current big German attack might be drawing close to an end.
 A German hint that the capture of Stalingrad may not be effected in the present campaign was given by a military spokesman in Berlin who was quoted as saying that the high command did not regard the battle as concluded and consequently was busily engaged in building de- fensive positions at Stalingrad and strengthening the Nazi lines in obyi- ous anticipation of a Russian coun- ter-attack.
 German reports indicated that preparations for a counter-blow had been noted north of Stalingrad and London heard that the Russians were preparing to make another smash on the Rzhev salient north west of Moscow.
