 PARLEYS TONIGHT
Probate and Town Con- ventiOns at Elton; Ches-
 < son in Race

Uncertainty over the action to be taken at the probate district con- vention tonight was evident in Re- publican circles today. Considerable sentiment still prevailed for 8 plan to leave the judge of probate noni- nation vacant on the ticket. How ever, a group within the party was seeking to build up support for Att torney Marcus WeiSman, while an- other group was insisting that lay- man be nominated. The group pro- posing that non-lawyer be named was backing Fred Chesson, vice. president and trust ofhcer of the Waterbury Trust Go.
 The Republican town convention, also to be held tonight, Is expected to name Mrs. Edwin H. Jones, wife of the assistant treasurer of the Waterbury Savings bank, and John ZubraS, of Joy road, q plumber, as the party,s candidates for state rep. resentatives. The name of Mrs. Jones was advanced when Mrs. Carl Heebner, who had been favored for the nomination, declined to run.
 The probate convention will be attended by delegates from Water bury, Wolcott and Middlebury. Both that convention and the town con. vention will be held at The Elton.
 Powerful party leaders were sup- porting the proposal that the judge of probate nomination be left va- cant, though they were opposed to an endorsement of Judge Patrick Healey (D). Failure to make . nomination would mean the auto. matic election of Judge Healey.
 MT. Weisman has some backing for the nomination, but opposition to his candidacy also was develop ing. There were likewise both sup- port and opposition to the proposal that a non-lawyer be nominated.

effect rental change if there is but slight difference between the rent in question ana other similar rentals in the neighborhood. A sub- stantial difference must be found before an adjustment is permitted, it was explained.
 Request Inspectors
 Many landlords have appeared at the local office saying their prop erty was worth more than recog- nized under the rental law and have asked for inspection of the premises to prove that the rent permitted is too low. The administrators reply that even if that is the case no change can be made unless capital improvements have been made or services have been increased or some other change recognized by the regulations has occurred.
 About 50 applications have been filed at the office by tenants who claim service has been decreased and therefore their rent should be lowered. Unless the service is of a major nature no adjustment is made. Mere discomfort because of minor change is not recognized as a sufficient reason to order de- crease of rent.
 About dozen landlords have asked the rent officials to allow decrease of service. In the cases where 1t has been allowed rent re- ductions has been ordered. Several have asked to cancel heat or hot water service, because of fuel difd.' culties.
 Eviction Notices
 Only six petitions for permission to evict are on file at the local office at the present time. The rental charge question is not in- volved in any of the cases. An il- lustration is the case of workeI of a local industrial plant who rented living quarters on the com- pany premises and then left his job but continued to live there. Since the concerns rules prohibit admis- sion of any person not connected with the company on the grounds, yet none of the regular legal req sons which permit eviction existed the case was brought to the rent office for disposition.

Petition For Increase
 A large number of landlords peti- tions filed at the office are for ir- creases Of rent based on capital improvements. If the claimed inl- provements were made before April l, 1941, no consideration is given to the petitions. Tn order to gain an adjustment for the reason of im- provement of property the landlord must prove that the change was made since the law took effect, and that 1t was of a major nature, and the office then determines whether the present rental charge is lower than that of similar property with similar improvements in the residen- tial district.
 Of HOO landlords petitions filed $50 have been acted on, with two out of three requests being de- nied, the rent official stated. Some of the landlords ask for an increase of rent because of special rela- tionship which existed at the time of the maximum rent level date.
 One owner of an eight tenement block showed that rental fees of seven tenants were identical and that the eighth tenant had been charged a substantially lower rent because of illness and unemploy- ment at the time of the maximum legal rent level date. An increase was allowed in the case after thor ougl1 investigation. However. the special relationship reason does not

 Congress had been accused of de- laying reduction of the draft age be- cause of its political implications and legislative leaders urged MT. Roosevelt to make it clear that he and the armed forces were not re- Questing such legislation.
 At his next press conference the president was asked whether he in- tended to propose the legislation to Congress and he replied that that step would not be taken until Janu. ary or February.
