Mayors Absence to POst- p0ne RumOred Appoint
 ment of Five Privates

No action on the appointment of five new firemen needed to bring the department up to maximum strength will be taken at the meet ing of the board of fire commission CTS tomorrow afternoon, City Hal sources said today Absence from the city of Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who is in Washington attending the annual session of the U. s. Confer ence of Mayors, is the main reason for holding up the appointments.
 It is believed that the board may adjourn tomorrow's meeting to a date to be fixed by Chairman Fin ton Phelan. This would allow MT. Phelan to call q meeting for action on the appointments after board members had consulted with the mayor.
 A problem posed to the board has been that of appointing single men to the department. It has been pointed out that any such ap- pointees are liable to early selectiye service calls and their places could not, under the charter. he filled.
 The fire department had four va cancies in the ranks of privates un- til q short time ago, when the pro- motion of Private Timothy Horgan to the rank of lieutenant added an. other vacancy to the list.

 pr. Mark A. May, of the Yale University Institute of Human Re- lations, explained that The main object of the questionnaire which will be sent out is to find out who these people are who are responsible for the increase in crime figures"
 Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the supreme court of errors will supervise the research. He said an unwarranted increase in the number of crimes have been noted especial ly in crimes of the nature of vag- rancy and alcoholism"
 The survey here will include Naugatuck and the question forms sent out will provide for volunteer intervieWers, who will fill in the queries from police dossiers and with interviews personally con- ducted with criminals.
 The period of this survey will con- tinue will last about two months and persons who have been arrested in the towns where the study is to be made will be interviewed in order that complete information about their past and present history may be gathered.
 Justice Maltbie said the object of the study is to find out what the actual existing situation is and then take steps to clear it up if it needs it."
 pr. May believes the investigation may unearth the source of the in- crease in crime and may point out if it is the state bred criminals or those from outside of the state.
