MARINES take
MARRIED MEN
New Regulations Effective
Immediately; George
Reynolds Enlists

New regulations permitting the
enlistment of married men In the
U. 8. Marine Corps and the reserves
were received today by the local re-
cruiting staff in the post Office build
ing. Heretofore, the marines have
steadily refused to accept married
men under any circumstances.
According to information from
district headquarters at Springfield,
married men and those with de
pendents" other than wives may en-
list, provided they can produce GER
tificates that such persons are not
financially dependent upon them.
The age limits for married men are
30 years for original enlistments
and IS for re-enlistments, the same
as for single applicants.
A further order received today
states that ex-marines may now be
appointed to the rank held at the
time of their discharge from the
corps, provided they have been out
of the service less than four years.
The local recruiting staff report
ed today that only four OF the un-
precedented number of men sent to
Springfield in the past few days
were rejected at the induction CEN
ter. Among those enlisted have
been John L. Dwyer, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis Dwyer, 119 East Main
street; Robert w. Fox, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Fox, So Harvard
street; and George F. Reynolds Of
6A Sylvan avenue. Thirteen other
out-of-town men who applied
through the Waterbury station were
also enlisted yesterday.

ACCOUNTANTS SET
TO ATTEND FORUM
Armstrong Speaker To-
night at New Haven
YWCA Dinner

John Armstrong. past president
of the New Haven chapter, will
address Connecticut Cost Account
ants at dinner meeting this eve
ming at the Y. w. G. A. in New
Haven which will be attended by
several Waterbury members.
Most cost systems have been de-
signed for large concerns and are
therefore entirely unsuited for small
companies. Mr.. Armstrong; talk
will indicate how the small manu-
featuring concerns can obtain ade-
quate cost information for man
agement and for the many govern
nent reports required. The talk
will be followed by an open forum
discussion, which will get right
down to brass tacks on some of
the most perplexing problems that
cost accountants and management
is struggling with today.
Mr.. Ar, strong is a past president
of the New Haven chapter and was
for number of years a national
director. He is also past presi-
dent of the manufacturer divi-
sion of the New Haven Chamber
of Commerce.
The meeting will be preceded by
the dinner at $50.

ASK FORECLOSURE
FOR UNPAID NOTE
$4,000 Action Recorded
Against Cheshire Couple
Here; Auto Agency Sued

A 5000 foreclosure action was
filed In common pleas court today
by Angelina Lemieux of this city,
against william H. and Sadie r.
King, Of Cheshire. The local woman
contends that a $4,000 note, dated
November 7, 1921, and secured by
property In Cheshire, Is in default
for non-payment Of principal, in
terest, and taxes for the years 1898,
1899 and 1910.
Also lodged in common pleas court
today was a $500 suit brought by
Norman f. Blondin of Waterbury,
against Motors, Inc, also Of this
city. Blondin alleges that he pur-
chased an automobile from the To-
cal concern last March, costing
$94l.93 after trade-in allowance
had been deducted. Subsequently he
made payment OF $1,000, which
left a balance of $77l.93 owing.
On June l, 1941, the car dealers
replevied the vehicle because of the
plaintiffs failure to make continued
payments in accordance with the
terms Of the conditional sales con-
tract, and later resold it for $685.. 90.
Blondin then made demand upon
the concern for return of the differ
ence between the amount received
on the resale and the amount he
owed them when the car was re-
possessed. In addition, he requests
reimbursement for a $1,000 premium
on cancelled collision, fire and
theft Insurance policy, which he as
serts has not been returned.

TERMS OF LEASE
BASIS OF SUIT
Plymouth Residents In
YOlved in Action Filed in
Court Here

A dispute over the terms Of a
lease forms the basis of a $500 civil
action filed In common pleas court
today, In which Elmer Tata of Ply
mouth seeks temporary, permanent
and mandatory injunction restrain
ing Frederick Sierra Of Plymouth
from prosecuting a summary process
brought against him, and a judg-
ment requiring him to renew the
lease entered into by the two.
The plaintiff contends that the
two agreed to contract for the
lease Of property in Plymouth, Sep
TENDER rs. 1889. which contained OPP
lions for renewal totalling five years,
at the end of which time Tata was
to purchase the premises from the
defendant.
Last October 10, the plaintiff as
sertS, he informed Sierra of his in
tention to renew the lease. Less
than month later, the defendant
served Tata with a writ OF sum
mary process, maintaining that the
lease had expired because of abuse"
and waste" committed on the
premises. Sierra further asked a judg
ment for possession Of the property
and costs of prosecution.
In the present action, Tata re-
quests an Interpretation of the terms
Of the lease to ascertain whether he
violated it. In addition, he points
out that the defendant accepted
$4,000 as a rental payment last
October !, thereby acknowledging
renewal Of the contract, and that
one years payment Of taxes on the
property, not required Of him by
the lease, Is owing him.

Mr.. Rowland, whose stopped Shout

this same informant said that while
the Church street property was Ger
tainly desirable in many respects
and was valuable site 1t was not
exactly what the members had in
mind and probably would require an
immense amount of money to recon-
struct 1t and perhaps place . bust
ness front on 1t.
AS announced exclusively by The
Democrat in December the Notre
Dame Academy expects to sell It's
present property and acquire the
Truman Lewis estate on Woodlawn
Terrace. It is understood that traffic
congestion In and around Church
street Is in some part causing such a
change to be made. Also need for
additional room for pupils has been
expressed during recent months as
the enrolment taxed the present
quarters to the utmost.
1t is not believed that the trans
action involving the sale of the
Lewis property, one of Waterbury's
show places and probably the larg-
est centrauy-developed estate in the
city, will be completed until the
Church street home has been sold.

representation will be confined to
British and American members. The
White House said the board mem
beers would confer with representa-
tives of the Soviet Union, China
and such others Of the 26 united
nations as necessary ITO attain
common purposes"
The White House description of
the three boards indicated that the
munitions unit would be the most
important.
1.-THE entire munition resources
of Great Britain and the United
States will be deemed to be in a
common pool, about which the full
est information will be inter
changed" the announcement said.
Munitions committees will be
formed in Washington and London
under the combined chiefs of staff
In a manner similar to the south
west Pacific agreement" in which
Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, British
commander In the Far East, was
made supreme commander with Adj
miral Thomas G. Hart of the U. s..
navy as commander OF all naval
forces In the Pacific theater Of
war.
VIII Give Advice
These committees will advice on
all assignments" OF munitions "borh
in quantity and priority, whether
to Great Britain and the United
States or other of the united Ia
tons In accordance with strategic
needs" Thus with the munitions
committees would rest the task of
deciding to which war front or ma
tion preparing to defend itself
should munitinos produced either
by this country or Great Britain
be sent.
The President and the prime min
lister will appoint civilian chair
men OF their respective munitions
committee "in order that these
committees may be fully apprised
of the policy of their respective
governments"
The statements said the civilian
chairmen could Invite representa-
tives of the State department, the
foreign office or production min
istries or agencies" to join In their
deliberations.
In principle, the shipping re-
sources of the two countries will
be deemed to be pooled" the an
nouncement said in describing the
board set up for joint control of
marine transport facilities. Because,
however, Of the military and ply
steal facts of the situation around
the British Isles," the movement of
shipping now under British control
will continue that way.
Direct Own Vessels
The United States will continue
TO direct her own vessels "or Ship
ping of other powers under United
States control"
To adjust and concert in one
harmonious policy" the work of
British and American shipping
authorities, however, there will be
established in Washington q COM
bined shipping adjustment board
with one American and one Brit
ish representative. A similar adj
1ustment board will be set up in
London.
The raw materials board was
created to obtain va planned and
expeditions utilization Of our raw
material resources in the most ef-
ftcient and Speediest possible man
r1er."
The raw materials board will con-
slst OF a British representative and
an American. The British member
Will represent and act for the min
lister Of supply, Lord Beaverbrook.
The White House did not say so,
but 1t was probable that the Amer
lean member would function under
War Production Chief Donald NJ.
Nelson and his board.
