Hollywood, Jan. 18.-(UP)-The trial of Errol Flynn, charged by two teen-age girls with statutory rape, turned into an argument today about whether @ woman loses her right to talk when she becomes a juror.
 The prosecution wants 8 mistrial, selection of a new jury and re- peat of all the testimony of 17-year- old Betty Hansen about her night with movie hero Flynn because, it says, two jury-women talked too much.
 Lorene Boehm, handsome house. wife was charged with saying, in so many words, that she was all for Flynn. Elaine Forbes, svelte spin ster, secretary to broadcasting eX- ecutive, was accused in one aff1da- vit with wanting to send Flynn tc prison; in another with announcing her intention of voting for his ac- quittal. ...
 These accusations, contradictor as they were, came from three other women who failed to make the jury the Mesdame Harriet Ponder, Emily Blue and Gussie A. Rowe Judge Leslie E. Still called all the ladies in for an inquiry.
 The jury consists of nine women and three elderly men, plus two al- ternates. Whether the allegedly talkative ladies could be removed and the alternates. who have heard all the testimony to date, could re- place them was a possibility the judge was considering.

l942 INCOME TAX
 TO BE COLLECTED

Gabriel Price. senior zone warden at the local Internal Revenue office warned today that all taxpayers must pay at least one quarter of their total 1942 income tax by March IS, despite pending legislation which proposes to abolish 1942 payments. He stated the March IS deadline still holds and persons should not be confused by discussion on the ''pay-as-you-go" plan under con- sideration before Congress.
 Many returns have been filed al- ready and activity at the local of- flee is expected to increase greatly in the next few weeks. The head quarters will be moved next month to IT Leavenworth street and five additional workers will be sent here to assist the present stan of ten.

area, has been faclng unpreceuenteu demands on its labor reservoir.
 To met the situation, MT. Ennis said, local recruiting campaigns nave been started in many towns directed toward housewives and workers in non.wAr industries. A considerable number of these have registered during the past month, and 1t is obvious that many small proprietors of small businesses, gasoline station attendants and others who have felt the impact of gas rationing on their business are liquidating their affairs, at least temporarily, and signing up for war work.
 According to MT. Ennis, the per- liminary stage of transition from peace jobs to war industries has now been passed and an increasing number of people are reconciling themselves to an adaptation to a new kind of work for the duration. On the basis of these reports, how ever, even the increment of house. wives and peace time workers has not yet been sufficient to keep pace with the demand for workers. Tn some areas, shortages of women are already occurring and rnarufactur- CTS in all parts of the state, partic- ularly in Hartford and New Haven. are experimenting with the use of part-tim white collar workers.
 Housing continues to be a serious problem in areas such as Waterbury and Bridgeport making the irn- portation of workers on large scale impractical. Migration into the state has practically ceased.
 Some plants have reached the saturation point and are now hir- ing cnly for replacement of those taken by Selective Service. Some small layoffs have occurred, and several non-war textile plants have closed, but in every instance work CTS have been rapidly assimilated by other concerns.
 In general there is an acute awareness now in the minds of em- ployers that women must be the mairlstay of any further personnel expansion and even then most con- servative firms have now adapted themselves to this policy. Usual bar riers against employment such as sex, color, age or physical handicaps have long since disappeared and employers generally are taking a realistic view of the situation and using whatever labor is available.
 Waterbury
 The situation in Waterbury for the month of December, as far as labor supply is concerned, indicates no improvements. Actually the de- mands still far exceel the suply. New registrations were down only 6~ but great many of these new entrants into the labor market were available only for part-time work. While many of these people were placed on Sunday shift. this did not materially alleviate the short- age of regular full-time workers.
 The demand at the end of the month for male workers to do heavy mill work requiring certain physi- cal characteristics was particularly pressing.
 Local employers are still willing to accept large number of women for training on jobs formerly done by men. However, the reservoir of available women is becoming rapid-
