 Colonel Thomas HeWes, newly ap- pointed state chairman of the War Finance Committee, announced that MT. Kilbourn has been appointed vice chairman of the state commit tee in charge of general sales and that Commissioner Hickey has been appointed chairman in charge of the community person-to- o-person sales canvass. Both assume their new duties immediately
 MT. Kilbourn and Commissioner Hickey, together with Norman B. Bertolette, president of the Hart ford Gas Company, who is serving as assistant to Colonel HeWes, will draft the state wide program for promotion of Series E War Bonds during the Submarine campaign. MT. Kilbourn will serve as general sales director with Commissioner Hickey organizing 8 vast person-to- person canvass of every home in every city, town and village in Con- necticut.

At a similar session conducted earlier this month approximately 80. appointments were conducted daily by the eight examiners. Since the staff has been cut in half, it is believed not more tahn 40 applica- tions will be held each day next week.
 Except for persons who were born in the enemy nations, all examined next week vii lbe eligible to take the oath by the next naturalization session, scheduled for September 28, but because of the long list of per- sons already eligible it is believed few, if any, will be notified to com- plete the citizenship procedure next month. Other naturalization ses- sions vii lbe held here January 19, and May 2.
 Persons who are enemy aliens must wait 90-days, according to reg ulations, after passing their final examination before they can become citizens. Many Italians who con- pleted examination at previous hear ings have already filled that require ment and are expected to be among those taking the oath of allegiance next month.
 All hearings conducted next week will be by appointment. Three of the officials will conduct the pre- liminary examination, while one other will be the designated officer for final questioning. All of the ap- plicants have been notified to bring witnesses.

plenty of it. There is no receipt involved, and no paper transaction, which makes the whole purchase set-up pretty easy"
 One grocer who hunted all over town for a bushel of onions went back to his establishment dejected, and short time later a wholesalers truck drew up and deposited a bushel of onions, he reported.
 The driver presented a bill which read tomatoes, $5," he continued. But those aren't tomatoes" he pro- tested. T know they're not the driver was reported to retort. Take them or leave them. That's your bill" The grocer said he needed the onions and took them at double the legal price, knowing that the wholesalers shrewdness in making the bill would free him of suspicion of violating the OPA regulations.
 A check-up at the price panel of the local ration board showed that few official complaints have been made and that most of those report ing violations have been rleuctant to give their names and appear as witnesses. Several cases have been heard by the price panel at formal hearings and adjustments have re- suited, but interest of the public in general is reported to be low.
 Only 25 retailers and wholesalers of women's apparel appeared at an OPA information meeting yesterday although about 150 of the area had been invited to attend. About 25 of 400 grocers of the city attended an OPA meeting held earlier in the week for the purpose of clarify- ing regulations and preventing over charging. The attitude and lack of interest here is accredited to the feeling that no one will investigate the price set-up and the public won't care if prices are higher than they be.
 The state OPA is believed to be unable to extend it's enforcement work widely because of the insuffi- cient staff of less than 40 workers who must cover all fields of com- modities and serve the whole state. Local price panels, although aiding in educational work and familiariz- ing the public with the ceiling prices, are not authorized to conduct en- forcement work, and in many cases the lack of authority stalemates any benefits that might be derived from their efforts, officials have pointed out.
