|l39 APPLICANTS FOR CITIZENSHIP
IOO Qualified in Recent Examinations; Hearing
 Scheduled Jan. 20

Names of 1S9 residents of Water bury and surrounding towns appear on the citizenship list for the nat uralization session which will take place in superior court Wednesday, Jan. 20. Of that number 109 have already been definitely accepted, while the other 30 are special cases which will be called for final ex- animation.
 D. L. Longo, inspector in charge of the Hartford oft1ce of naturaliza- tion, will conduct examinations, as- sisted by Judge Frank P. McEvoy who will preside at the session.
 The Italian nationality, which be- fore Pearl Harbor was represented by large numbers of prospective citi- zens at naturalization hearings, again will be off the list next week. Since the regulation regarding citi- zenship eligibility of aliens of enemy countries took effect, less than a dozen Italians have been given their citizenship oath and these have been persons who applied many years ago under the old law.
 No notification has been received at the superior court clerks office regarding the standing of Italian applicants or aliens of other enemy countries. Because of the waiting period required between examination and taking of oath it's believed local Italians may not be placed on the citizenship list until later in the year,

RULES NOW GOVERN
 CHANGING OF JOBS
Complete Severance of Contacts Necessary Be.
 fore Filing Application

Unless @ person employed at de- fense work quits his job he can not be considered for employment in another industrial plant under the present hiring set-up, 1t was reveal ed at the U. s. Employment office today. The only exception to the rule against accepting applications from defense workers Is in cases where special skills may be placed to better use in new jobs.
 William R. Nolan, manager of the local employment service. stated that factory laborers can not move from one plant to another, without first freeing themselves completely from the employment field. If an employed person feels he has spe- cial skill which is not applied in his job the employer is consulted and efforts are made to transfer him to @ more suitable position in the same concern, and that failing the agen- cy may undertake to place him in another plant where the special ca pabilities would be of more service.
 The consent of the employer is necessary before any job-changing is attempted. the employment man. ager emphasized. If. however, a per- son leaves his employment he is con- sidered a free agent and then may follow the regular procedure of ap- plying for job through the office.
 The rule applies not only to em- ployes of factories but also to per- sonnel of other essential services such as public utilities, communica- tions, and transportation, it was dis closed.
 However, despite the attempts at job stabilization and against enl- ployment pirating. workers here have been known to be shifting jobs. most of them through the method resigning and then apply ing. With employment opportun- ities at a continuous high, there have been no regulations to prevent such action.

 COrrespondent

Hollywood, Jan. I6. (Up)-Three housewives who found themselves elected as prospective jurors in the statutory rape trial of Errol Flynn left him biting his fingernails to- day and wondering how much longer he'll have to sit in court listening to two teen-age girls tell unprint- able tales about him.
 The women charged two others who were selected as jurors, with deceit and perjury in their anxiety to hear the case of Movie Hero Flynn. The judge will consider their accusations Monday and decide whether @ new jury will have to be chosen and the testimony repeated,
 While l7-year-old Betty Hansen was telling of an evening with Flynn in a Bel Air bedroom, the Mesdames Emily Blue, Gussie Rowe and Har- riet Ponder were sitting in @ nearby office talking over the trial and the reasons of the opposing attorneys for eXcusing them from service What they couldn't understand was why two other women were acc cepted. They put on their bonnets, dropped to the district attorneys of- flee and filed affldavits charging perjury against Miss Elaine Forbes and Mrs. Lorene Boehm.
 The only trouble seemed to be that the three couldn't get their stories to agree about Miss Forbes, the

 No confirmation was available today on the reports that Alder man Patrick F. Shea, floor lead- CT, and Alderman Daniel T. Dris- coll would be candidates for the presidency of the board when changes are made. The report al- so that Chairman Maurice Tang ney of the Democratic town com mlttee Is In @ receptive mood for the nomination remained uncon- firmed today,
 Tn the meanwhile the Rnpubli- can members who are conscious Of the fact that they hold the ball. aEce of power In any election of president are watching develop ments with interest, However, City hall anticipates no opposition no fight and no rival candidates The Democrats also appreciate the fact that one or two Republican aldermen have Democratic" in- clinations.

Unprintable Tales
 Stud Flynn's Trial
Three Housewives Elected as Possible Jurors in
 Statutory Rape Allegations Against Movie Star

smartly dressed secretary to a radio executive.
 Mrs. Rowe said Miss Forbes wanted to acquit Flynn and said so before she was made a juror: Mrs. Ponder said she wanted to convict him.
 T just must get on that jury" Mrs. Rowe quoted Miss Forbes, add ing that she'd reported illness to keep from being a juror in other cases pending and that she'd said she could not stand 1t if Flynn were sent to prison.
 Mrs. Blues statement agreed in every detail with that of Mrs. Rowe, but Mrs. Ponder heard something entirely different.
 Miss Forbes said to me several times," she said, "'If we get on the Flynn jury, we will fix him good, won't we Mrs. Ponder9'"
 Mrs. Ponder added that young Mrs. Boehm had seemed excited about the prospect of seeing Flynn kbCG~lO@LhCG uklu Llhu AlNAbSu AIGk " go downstairs for a look.
 T went along to the floor below" Mrs. Ponder continued. But I didn't 30 all the way. Mrs. Boehm joined the crowd around Mir. Flynn and when she came back, she said:
 CT am for Errol Flynn in a big way"
 Having filled these charges the three housewives went on home. Hymns trial was droning along with testimony concerning what Flynn and Miss Hansen the blonde waitress, were doing behind a locked bathroom door. Prosecutor Thomas Cochran received the affidavitis, glanced through them and asked for nnistrial. Judge Leslie E. still ad- journed court at once and Flynn asked: "What does this mean?" His attorneys explained and he cracked: ::
 q don't mind rooters in the jury box, but they ought to keep their mouths shut"
 Jerry Giesler, his lawyer, called the development @ blow and an in- justice to Flynn.
 "Of course we do not want to pro- ceed if there are any prejudiced jurors on the panel" he said, but 1t is very unfair of them to have forced him to go half way through the trial and then make him go through 1t all over again."

Boston. Jan. 16 -(UP)- State Public Works Commissioner Her man A. Macdonald says the Massa- chusetts motoriSt is 'the prize sap of the century"
 Protesting alleged discrimination against this section of the nation, Macdonald said in a statement last night.
 If the federal government does not want any passenger motor ve- hicles on the highways, and desires gasoline for empty army trucks running all over the commonwealth why doesn't 1t say so, and the poor motorist can save a lot of money so he will be able to help pay the enormous federal income taxes as- sessed."
 After the Massachusetts motorist has paid all the taxes necessary to put his car on the road. Macdonald said. "snoopers along the highways want to know why he is driving his car"
 Macdonald was referring to the current OPA drive against pleasure drivers.
