In addition to this possible ap- pointment 1t is expected that An- thony Stango former regular on the local force will be reinstated as a supernumerary. Stango was dis missed from the force two years ago following the disclosure that he was listed as an enemy alien. The board is holding a special meet ing at 5 p. m. following yesterdays adjourned meeting when Chairman William Bannon was unable to ap- pear because of press of private business.
 Sources today stated that Mrs. Mary Norgren, 1138 West Main street 8 qualified trained nurse and now guard at the Scovill Co.,, seemed the most likely prospect for today'S appointment. However, seven other applications for the position have been filed with the board the latest, which was filed yesterday, being that of Miss Mary Horan, g Vermont street, private nurse and graduate of St. Mary's nursing school.
 In the case of Stango it was not revealed today why he was being reinstated as a Supernumerary in view of the fact that he had been regular when forced from the de- partment. Since his case first came to light two years ago he has been adamant in his contention that he was born in this country but that no birth records ever were avail- able.
 His case was revealed when he registered as an enemy alien at the time all persons of Italian extrac- tion in this country unable to prove American birth were required to do so. The board then asked for his resignation whereupon he insisted that he should be given time to prove that he had been born here, before he was forced to take such action. Unable to clarify the mat ter. and consistently refusing to resign Stango was ruled out of the department by vote of the board.
 Through the influence of the lo- cal Italian American club and Will liam K. Lawlor, Stango's attorney the matter was brought to the at- tention of U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney and other national lead- CTS. Through the latters influence bill was introduced in Congress, and subsequently, adopted, whereby it was ruled that anyone who had served in the U. s. Army would be classified as citizens. As Stango had served in the Mexican border incidents this law abolished the question of his citizenship status.
 Following this, his attorney ap- peared before the state legislature and presented a bill which was adopted permitting the Waterbury board of police commissioners, in the case of Anthony Stango, to re- instate him to the local police force, the city charter and ordinance, notwithstanding.
 It is only because of this latter bill that it would be possible to re- instate the man as he is over the 40 year age limit for appointments or reappointments. Stango has been employed by a local war industry since leaving the local force.
 It did not seem likely that any other appointments would be made at todays special meeting.
