Conneetleut's womanpower, whicl la tho months ahead will have ( vital part to play in the winning Of the war on the production front will be inventoried during the week of May (, when the first statewide voluntary registration of women foi possible war work will be carried on In this state, Leonard J. Ma loney, director of the United States Employment Service for Conneeti. out, announced today,
 With the cooperation Of thG Women's Employment Mobilization committee, 0 State Defense Council unit, under Mrs. Ralph O, Lasbury Jr, the Employment Service will call upon women of all ages and backgrounds to illl out registration blanks which are to Do distributed through special machinery to be set up in each city and town In the state.
 Eligible
 These registrations, Mir. Maloney emphasized, will not constitute ape plicNtions for employment, but rath- pr will only indicate whether regis trans are willing to accept paid work for which they are fitted If and when they are needed,
 This inventory, he asserted, will enable the U, s, Employment Serv- lee to learn which women are will- tng to take paid work in industry, agriculture O. other occupations, and what their ages, educational background, training and eXpsN- ene0 are, what type of work they are willing to do, whether they can work full or part time and whether they can work only in their own communities or in other towns or possibly outside the state
 Later, as the need for women Co replace men in war production jobs becomes more acute, those who have indicated c willingness to work will be called Into U, S, Employment Service offices, located throughout the state, for employment inter- views. Such women will then Ge offered positions for which they are most fitted in technical, Industrial or farm work. Some may be rG- ferred to speeia draining courses,
 There will be no obligation on the part Of any woman to take any work she does not want because she has registered, MT. Maloney made 1t clear.
 Experimental Plan
 The womens registration plan 10 oelnR tried out this week in Bristol, with air raid wardens taking charge of the distribution Of cards. Bristol was selected because Of JtS com paetnesS and the expected need tor several thousand women to work In industries there during the next lew months. On the basis Of experience ,alned in this test registration, pro- 'edureS and machinery to be used m the statewide inventory will be devised Under Mrs, LaSbury's tli. .eetlon, and with the cooperation ,f local defense council ehairmon, yomen's employment registration
