TALBOT-PAPE
 BATTLE LOOMS
COP. Circles View POssi- biIity in Race for Lieu-
 tenant. Governor

A battle between Congressman Jo- seph E. Talbot of Naugatuck and William J. Pape, local publisher whose home is in Woodbury, for the Republican nomination for Neuten- ant-governor was viewed as a pos- sibility in high c. o. P. circles to- day. Observers believe that thet state organization would back MT. Tal- bot in any such contest.
 Friends say that the congressman is anxious to give up his duties at Washington and run for state office this fall, thereby being able to re- sume his law practice. He has been generally believed cycling the nom- ination for state treasurer. He held this post during 1030-40.
 MT. Pape lost out to Raymond E. Baldwin of Stratford in contest for the gubernator1al nomination in 1888 but has been regarded as a leading candidate for lieutenant governor this year on ticket head ed by MT. Baldwin.
 The lieutenant-governo pays only $l, 500 year, compared to the sal- ary of 5000 attached to the treas urer's post, but 1t calls for only part time work, and that mainly during six months of the two-year term.

ally curtailed or eliminated will be special conuseling units and the ad- ministTation of aptitude tests, ex- cept in instances where specific training is to be given or where re- forral is to be made on the basis of aptitude rather than on the basis of demonstrated ability to perform in a given occupation.
 The gaSic reason for streamlin- ing the Employment Service is not because of inadequate finances.
 "Even if virtually unlimited fin- ancial resources were made avail able to the Employment Service, MT. Ennis said, 1t would still be necessary to establish priority in service because of the limitations in the availability of trained, com petent workers to do the Employ ment Service job. Further, the United States Employment Service shares the common obligation to avoid using manpower except as is necessary to the performance of essential activities"

NEW DOMESTIC
 LAWS RECEIVED
Court Regulations, EffeC. tive August 1, Sent Local
 Officials Today

Regulations regarding the new domestic relations session of supe- rior court created by the supreme court in Hartford were received at the superior court clerks office to- day. The rules which take effect August 1 require special hearings for juvenile court appeals, all ape peals from probate concerning adoption or custody of minor chil- dren, C. appointment of guardians, habeas corpus proceedings involving custody or support of minors, and all uncontested divorce actions where the parties have children under 16 years old.
 Appeals from juvenile court must be filed within ten days of decision according to the new rules. Hear ings will be held in court cham bers, with special emphasis placed on informahty. Records and papers in juvenile cases will not be open to anyone other than the child con- cerned, his parents, guardians, or counsel except by special court or der. It is further provided that no costs or fees shall be imposed in juvenile appeal cases.
 All uncontested divorce actions in- volving minor children under 16 will be heard at domestic relations sessions. Petitioners for divorce will be required to state the date of birth of each child and whether or not custody is desired. In regard to contested divorces, judges are given authority to transfer cases from the general court docket to the domestic sessions if they feel the actions are not really being contest ed. Actions involving alimony or support likewise may be transferred to the new sessions. Hearings in any cases involving welfare of children may be ordered for chamber ses- sions, and records may be closed for inspection.
 The regular superior court judges will preside at domestic relations sessions, but the supreme court will have authority to appont additional judges if 1t is found necessary. All domestic relations sessions cases ex- cept juvenile appeals will be claimed as short calendar matters.

registrants with minor physical de- fects. They will be sworn in as reg ular soldiers but will probably be assigned to non-combat duty.
 Steady declines in the number of IA men available, resulting from increasingly large draft calls, will make it necessary for the board to call in a large number of men in the 36-45 age group. Reclassifica- tion of others who are now in de- ferred classifications will also prob ably be necessary.
 Three more inductees left the city for the army this morning, supplementing large groups which departed last week.
 One of those going today was An- thony Sacco, of Board 16-A, voca- list, musician and composer of sev- eral popular songs. He has been with several famous orchestras.
 From Board 16-B went Eugene Wheeler, of 152 East Main street, and John Ritucci, of Rawley ave- nue.

Hartford, Conn, July 6 The Unifed States Employment Service for Connecticut will immediately curtail all non-essential job place. naeut activities and concentrate the work of local offices on war indus tries William e. Ennis, Acting Director, stated today. Dedication og the Employment Service prim- nFiiy to the war effort through es- tablishment of priority in service to essential employers and further Elimination of non-essential activ- ftfes will not result in any curtail- naent of the Employment Service staff, since the demands upon the Employment Service by war indus tries require an increasing amount of interviewers' time, MT. Ennis stated. Employment Service inter viewers who have been spending all or much of their time in plac- ing domestic and service employees will be transferred to industrial placement activity, and to the func- tons essential to the recruitment of workers incidental to the war production effort.
 Priority List
 'gThe Employment Service will direct It's entire efforts toward the placement of workers in the follow Ing categories," MT. Ennis said. Establishments holding war con- tracts or sub-contracts; establish ments providing equipment and phases of agriculture; necessary governmental activities; and, fin- nll1, to essential civilian activities including public utilities, transport ation, and public health service"
 MT. Ennis stated that the deter mination of what is essential will be made by the manager of each local employment office, within certain general limitations.
 Tt is impossible to be dogmatic about what is essential at this time, because of the interdependency of of industry and mercantile trades, and we do not propose to set up Q rigid standard that will interfere with efficient operation; however, we know that a job order for but Ter would be difficult to classify as a war essential. On the other hand, a request for cook by restaurant that is patronized by war workers might well be considered essential. Also, providing 8 domestic worker in order to free the services of a housewife with an essential skill to be used in a war industry could very well be considered essential to the war effort. The rule of reason will, as far as possible, be applied but the first claim on all employ ment offices will be held by those who are actually engaged in war production"

STATE GARDENS
 BEING CHECKED
Supply of Food in COnneCe ticut of Vital Concern to
 War Board

Storrs, Conn, July 6-An inven- tory of farm and backyard gardenA throughout the rural and village areas of Connecticut will be taken during the next three weeks as the first job of the Connecticut volun- teers.
 The Volunteers, being organized by the Connecticut USDA WaK Board and the University of Con- necticut Extension Service, hays been asked to check up on the num- Der of gardens planted in each rural neighborhood and intentiona of their neighbors for caning and storing food for winter.
 Connecticut has, at all times, a very limited supply of food for it's population, it is pointed out in an explanation of the inventory plan prepared by the Extension Service. Now, with population of industrial centers continually increasing, and the possibility of transportation difficulties developing, it is import ant for rural families to can and store increased quantities of the foods they will need next winter.
 The questionnaire, to be distrib- uted by 5000 neighborhood volun- teers, asked for quantities of the vegetables that are most commonly canned or stored for winter use. such as tomatoes, potatoes, winter squash, cabbage aid dry beans. It also asks for estimates of the num- Der of quarts of fruit, of all kinds, to be canned bysrural families, and the number of bushels of apples to be stored.
 Not only farm families, but all families living outside the urban areas of the state, are included in the inventory. The dividing line be- tween rural and urban area is be- ing determined in each town by the local committee of volunteers.
