TRIAL BLACK0UTS
 IN CONN. CITIES

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 3.-(UP)- The State Defense Council today was instructed by U. s. army au- thorities and the office of civilian defense to conduct several trial blackouts in Connecticut cities and towns before Feb. IT.
 The test blackouts, it was said, will be similar to the one conducted last week at New Britain.
 Prof. Stanley R. McCandless of Yale University, chairman of the state blackout committee, said the tests will provide cross section of the entire state and the results will be an accurate key to what the entire state would be able to do upon the sounding of the air raid alarm"
 He said the army has asked for a report on the speed with which the blackouts were accomplished.

virtually everyone i'll the chamber wanting to speak Opponents of the ban were far in the majority and they cheered and applauded each critic of the new regulation. Alder manic President John $. Monagan had to rap for order numerous times.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully, address ing the meeting, held that the rule against all-night parking was needed for several important reasons. He cited the dangers that cars parked on streets would cause in the event of an air raid the hindrance which they are to the fire department, and the difficulty which they cause in snow removal. The inconvenience and sacrifice" which the ban may mean to some, he said, should be accepted as contribution to civil ian defense.
 Debate by the public and the aldermen followed, ending when the board voted to appoint itself a con- mitlee of the whole to confer with the board of police commissioners on the question.
 Seevral petitions and letters pro- testing against the new regulation were filed with the board.
 Lengthy Petition
 One of the longest petitions was offered by Mrs. Francis V. Byrnes, of PA Willow street. She asserted that the rule was causing "unneces- sary hardship to many persons.
 A. J. Hinkleman, another protest tant, took occasion to attack the street department for allegedly fail ing to remove snow from many streets after storms. "If adequate public services were provided" he said, I'd be willing to pay 8 tax of 40 mills"
 Alderman Martin F. Sullivan, a member of the police board, said that the ban had been under con- sideration since 1889. The public, he said, had been given adequate warn ing that the ban was to go into ef- feet. Several members of the crowd in the chamber sought to engage him in lengthy disputes over the need for the regulation.
 Opponents of the ban charged that it created worse fire hazard than cars parked on the streets. Drivers, they said, have to leave their cars in congested groups. It was also charged that it made pos sible profiteering on garage rents, that it marred the appearance of sections by forcing mo- torists to drive OH to their lawns, and that it worked an undue hard- ship on night shift workers in de- fense plants.
 Several speakers said they now had to pay as much as $4 month for the privilege of parking in va cant lots.
 All On Committee
 Alderman George L. Kingston (R) said that air raid instructions told drivers, in the event of raids, to pull thier cars over to the curb. He successfully opposed motion by Democratic Leader Patrick Shea to have the matter referred to a com- mittee of three. Instead, the boards IS members will serve on the com mittee.
 Minority Leader Burton H. Walker expressed surprise that open debate on the subject was being allowed. Last week, he said, the Democratic imposed the gag rule when he sought to bring up the question for discussion.
 The petitions received by the board were referred to a commit tee, as was request by the St. Margaret's church corporation to allow parishioners to park in its school yard.

January Job
 In City Are High
Record Best Since Jan. of 194l; 908 Jobs Found
 During Month

The best month for indus trial placements since Jan- uary of last year was an- nounced today by Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, manager of the Waterbury branch of the United States Employment service, in a report of the offices activities during the last thirty-day period. The 472 industrial placements re- corded last month constitute an improvement of about 100 over December, and a gain of 26 per cent. Total placements for the month were 903. 579 Of whom were female, 329 male. Placements for January, 1941, were 8l3.
 Other employ ment obtained for persons registered at the local serv- ice consisted of the following: con- struction and farm, 39: commercial and professional, 135; domestic, res taurant and hctel service, PA, and public placements, 13.
 Mrs. Dewey also announced that the employment office would again remain open late Thursday night to accommodate persons who are em- ployed in non- defense industries and wish to register for work in plants producing war goods.
 Automobile salesmen, thrown out of work by the freezing of car sales, have in many cases been placed in local factories, Mrs. Dewey said principally because they registered for other work before the ban be- came operative.
 Applications have also been re- ceived from domestic appliance dealers, confronted with the possi- bility that all sales of refrigerators will shortly be frozen.

Big Check Is Sent City By GOvernm ent
Sl25,0O0 Arrives Here as First Contribution To-
 wards Reservoir Cost

A check for $125,O ,OOO from the U. s. Government as the first installment of the fed eral contribution of $500,0OO toward the city's third dam and reservoir project was received today by Controller Thomas M. Conlon. The gov- ernment grant, made under the Lanham act, will reduce to about $2OO,0OO the cost to the city for the major project. Construction has already been started.
 The third dam and reservoir, to- gether with the second pipe line now being built from Morris at cost of $90O,000, will complete the Shepaug project.
 Originally the city mad asked for grant toward both projects but when long delay loomed, the pipe line was started with funds raised from bond issue authorized by the 1941 legislature. The federal grant, approved later, is in effect to be applied toward both pieces of work.
 To secure the government grant, city officials made numerous trips to Boston and Washington. They had the support of Judge J. Joseph Smith, then congressman from the fifth district. It was an amend ment to the Lanham act proposed by him that made Waterbury and other defense centers eligible for federal funds for major public inn provements.
 The grant will make the total cost of the water system expansion much less to the city than had been esti- mated.
