INSPECTION LANES
CLOSED TOMORROW
Cars in Waterbury
Area Remain Unchecked
in Present Period

Commissioner John r. Mccarthy
Of the Department Of Motor Vehi-
cles announced today that all au-
tomobile inspection lanes and Of
fees of the department will be
closed tomorrow in observance Of
Memorial Day.
With approximately $4,000 cars
In this area expected to be checked
in the present period, inspectors at
the Thomaston avenue lane have
relaxed their rules in certain cases
in order to assist motorists ii the
conservation at gasoline and tires.
Cars which previously would have
have been rejected for minor de-
fects are now passed on condition
that the necessary repairs will be
made Immediately. In this way mo-
florists are spared the task of maxi
ing a second trip.
So far $4,000 cars have passed
through the inspection lane and an
additional $4,000 are expected to go
through before the end Of the pc
Rod. This total would, however,
still be 5000 short Of the $4,000 cars
checked the last period.
Attaches of the lane said yester-
day that 5,187 cars had been reject
ed so far this period Of which 4,083
returned for reinspection. OF those
rejected 1904 were for brakes,
1880 for lights, BOT for wheel align
ment, S14 for steering operation,
and 81 for tires. There were 2.947
cars on which miscellaneous de-
fectS were discovered.

Manpower Inventory
Nearing Completion
Selective Service Boards Hope to Complete Task OF
Sending QuestiOnnares to All Registrars in Month

Quoted into the armed forces. And
by the first part of June, the direc-
tor said, the men between As and 65
years of age, who registered on April
81, 1912 will be receiving their oc-
cupational missionaries.
The nation will have pressing
need by late autumn for around
l0,500,00O additional war workers,
Director Averill said. 1t is from the
men beyond the military age, he
pointed out, that the war manpower
commission expects to obtain most
Of the male recruits for this work.
However, he asserted, many war
workers also will be obtained from
classes deferred for physical defects
as many men who are unfit for
military service are well qualified
for civilian activities.
The occupational missionaries
are being sent to all selectjve serv-
ice registrants who have not been,
or cannot be, indicted into the
armed forces, Director Averill point
ed out, and are not to be confused
with the regular selective service
QUESTIONABLE upon which classical
ton for military service is based.
at is especially important" he
said, "that registrants in military
age groups who may receive an oc-
cupational QUESTIONABLE before they
receive the regular QUESTIONABLE
keep this distinction carefully In
mind. The two questionnaires are
entirely separated in purpose. The
occupational QUESTIONABLE is sent
to registrant of military age only
because of the possibility that he
may not be qualified for military
service. He then, however, will be
available for civilian war effort. He
must fill out and return both ques-
tionnaires."
When the occupational question
naires are returned to local boards
the director said, they are checked
for completeness and accuracy, and
then are separated into the several
sections of which they are COM
posed. One section Is sent to the
Bureau of the Census, Washington
d. c., for the attention of its pop
ulation division which is calculating
this data for the selective service
system Another section is forward
ed to the proper United States En-
ployment Service office in the area
in which the local board has juris.

State Board to Intervene

The state board Of mediation ana
arbitration will be asked to enter
