"Nervous?" l said.

lips move as he went over and over his first

The cue came and he walked into camera

his hand under the brim of his Stetson and
showed the hat back and scratched his head.

LACK OF QUORUM
 CANCELS FARLEY
Welfare Expenditures for First Quarter of Fiscal
 Year $6,946.33

Naugatuck, July IA The vel fare department has had an esti- mated net expenditure for the first quarter of the fiscal year of only $6,- 946.33, the report of Welfare Super intendent Leo Scully, showing ex- penditures up to July l, reveals. No meeting of the welfare board was held last night because several members could not attend and there was no quorum.
 Superintendent Scully listed ex- penditures for three months at $9,- 946.33 but there is an estimated state credit cue the borough for the quarter ending June 30, of $3,000, which would bring the net expense down to $6.946. As the appropriation for the fiscal year was $12,00O, this would leave $38,04367 for the re- maining nine months. If this were continued for the balance of the fiscal year, 1t would mean remark ably small expenditure. However, expenses during the winter are us ually heavier.
 The departments detailed ex- penses are: outside poor, $2,31956; labor, $2,055; hospitals, $l,094 AS; children in homes, $233.4'; Meadow brook home, $2.19455; administra- tion, $2,05929. There was miscel- laneous income credit of $10.
 Miss Katherine Brennan, social service worker, reported four new cases and three cases re-opened as against IS cases closed, reduction of eight in the case load. There were 178 cases at the end of June. A total of 25 office visit and 78 home visits were made and one old age assist ance application was received.
 A total of B cases with 80 per sons represented received federal fod during the month. Distribution was as follows: wheat flour, 366 3-4 pounds; dried lima beans, 76 pounds prunes, 104 pounds; milk, 112 pounds; butter. 192 pounds; corn meal, BIO pounds: eggs, 177 dozen; onions, 45O pounds.

lndustrialists Seek
 New Classifications
Barriers Affecting Aliens May Be Removed to Speed
 Up War Production in American Factories

New York, N. Y, July IA. Ernest Angell, president of the Council for Democracy, has announced that a delegation of prominent industrial ists labor leaders, and educators are meeting in Washington today with Solicitor General Charles Fahy, director of the War Division of the Department of Justice, to present a new plan for the reclassification of aliens of enemy nationality.
 MT. Angell stated that Ralph Flanders, president of Jones and Lamson Machine Company of Springfield, Vermont, Dr. William Allen Nelson, president emeritus of Smith College, Robert Watt, Inter national Representative of the American Federation of Labor, Pro- lessor Harlow Shapley, prominent astronomer of Harvard University, and Dr. Isaiah Bowman, president of Johns Hopkins University, are among those who will be members of the delegation.
 Growing Business
 EO1AIllS out that the present system of handling loyal aliens of enemy nationality has created a growing uneasiness among many of these individuals because of the threat of a possible mass evacua- ton, MT. Angel said that the situa- tion has been made more grave by the fact that such tension has spread among naturalized citizens and even many second generation Americans, who feel threatened with the break up of their families. and sudden removal from their homes and places of work.
 MT. Angel revealed that the cen tral feature of the plan which the delegation will submit to the De- partment of Justice on July 14th is the creation af a new category of certified" or friendly alien". A certified alien. he said, would be person of enemy nationality whose loyalty to the United States has been established by certain tests ard standards approved by the De- partment of Justice.

PUBLIC APATHETIC
 ON DEFENSE PLANS
Showing of Medical Aides Disappointing in Sum-
 days General Test

Steps to remedy defects in the medical defense division of the citys civilian defense organization were being started today by Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, director, who asserted that Sundays tests were "far less successful than we had hoped.' Putting it even more bluntly was Dr. J. Harold Root, who said: "The cooperation was terrible"
 Half Or more q the civilians who volunteered for duty with me- dical defense units failed to appear for the city-wide tests Sunday and there was not sufficient personnel on hand to take care of all the casualties" The communications system also begged down, resulting in long delays in the summoning of first aid workers and others to duty.
 The public is apathetic," said Dr. Root, adding that volunteers show interest at first but many oi them quickly lose it. Many more volunteers for the medical units are needed, he said, if Waterbury is to be prepared for any real attack.
 Bugs" which developed in other civilian defense units are also being corrected. Officials point out that tests such as Sundays are held to find out just where such bugs" are so that they can be eliminated in future tests.

term enemy alien has been partly responsible for the widespread un- willingness on the part of employ CTS to hire any but American citi- zens, MT. Tngell said "A confiden- tial survey made just before Pearl Harbor listed literally thousands of plants, including many of the larg est defense works, which refused to hire any aliens however loyal and excluding even citizens of the other United Nations. One of the largest tank manufacturers in the country included the printed phrase, We hire Amer:3an citizens only, on application blanks for employ ment. Office of the U. S. Employ ment Service are receiving a steady stream of applications for jobs from skilled and unskilled aliens who have been discharged by their em- ployers solely because of their alien status, in spite of the need for their services.
 "In the midst of developing labor crisis, we are failing to utilize that section of our labor force which con tains perhaps the highest percentage of skilled workers" continued Mir Angell. Statements by the Presi- dent the Attorney General, and high war production officials de- nouncing this tendency seem to have had little or no effect. When the Axis war machine continues to function only through the forced labor of millions of unwilling Frenchmen. Belgians, Dutch, and the workers of other conquered na- tions it is but common sense for the United States to use the willing labor of those laval aliens who are often more interested in. crushing the Axis than the average Ameri- can.
 "The Department of Justice has done excellent work during the past seven months in the apprehension of dangerous aliens ard it frankly believes 1t has done the job thor oughly Official vigilance. however, would certainly not be relaxed by the suggested method of reclassifi- cation. Under the present system, the mere classification of enemy alien is no protection. The safe guards, slight as they are, consist only of the restrictions against travel, the possession of firearms, and other restrictions of this type. If a super safe policy is desired then the restrictions themselves may be retained under the suggested plan"
 The plan for the reclassification of aliens of enemy nationalitics has been developed by the Council for Democracy, MT. Angell stated, and will be submitted to MT. Fahy on July IA.
