 President R oosevelt t designated Secretary of Treasury Henry Mor- genthau. Jr., to serve as temporary president of the conference until 1t elects a permanent one, but the conference was expected to choose Morgenthau for the permanent of flee.

A $l5,00O verdict was returned by a superior court jury of eight men and four women yesterday after noon in the SIS, ,000 civil action based on fatal injuries sustained by Louis Deschenes, 34, c. R. & L. bus driver, in the Cheshire road bus truck collision of last Sept. 13 The amount set by the jury is the maxi mum allowed by Connecticut stat- ute in a fatality case.
 Recipient of the damages will bo Mrs. Cecile Deschenes, 29, mother of two small children. She was plaintiff in the case as administra. trix of the estate of her husband.
 The verdict of the jury was for damages against the Elm City FillS ing Stations of New Haven, only. The second defendant in the case, the Colonial Beacon Oil Company of Massachusetts, was freed of lia- bility by the jury which ruled the Elm City concern was an inde- pendent carrier of oil and was not serving as an agent of the Colonial company at the time of the acci- dent.
 The Elm City Filling Stations, Inc. today filed 8 motion requesting Judge Edward J. Quinlan to set aside the jury verdict. Arguments on the motion, which calls the ver- dict excessive and contrary to evil dence, will be conducted during the summer by arrangement with the court.
 Deliberations of the jury lasted slightly more than two and a half hours on issues which were present. ed in the court in a three-week trial. In addition to returning a verdict the jury was required to an- swer two questions on the relation ship of the two defendants. It was asked to state in writing whether the Elm City concern was an agent of the other or whether it was m independent carrier when it de- livered oil to the Chase Brass & Copper Co. in Waterbury at the time of the accident.
 Counsel for the Elm City concern yesterday stated they would appeal the case to the State Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford. Although there is a two-week limitation on filing appeals, the notice of appeal will not have to be entered until September, since the court today went into It's summer recess and the two-week period is for actual court days.
 Present in the courtroom when the jury returned its verdict at 2:28 was the young widow. who quietly wept when sine heard the 12 men and women allow her the largest sum possible under law, and one of the largest verdicts returned here in recent years. The plaintiff was present during 6 large part of the court hearing and had testified briefly in the case. Opposing coun- sel in the case and jurors alike ex- pressed their best wishes to the plaintiff after the verdict was re- ported and the court was adjourned.
 The disastrous collNion, which also took the life of the truck driver, Harry Hemstock of New Ha- ven. occurred at 2:30 p. m. when a tire of the truck blew out and

 August will bring his term to slightly under five years.
 The accused heard his sentence on Aug. l5, 1889, and went to prison many months before the other ac- cused, who appealed to the high court from the superior court sen- tenceS.
 Dismissal of Olson fro mprison will leave only two of the conspira- tors in confinement, former Mayor Frank Hayes, and his former exec- utive secretary, Thomas P. Kelly. Kelly, who also was sentence dto serve 2 to 12 years, will be eligible for release within the year, 1t was believed. The former chief execu- tive has approximately three more years to serve, taking into account time of for good behavior.
 The three men have been serving their sentences at the prison Farm, and they are allowed four months of per year for good behavior.
 Last of the sentenced men to be released were Philip Coppetto ana! Frank Burns" Santalucia, who were freed last January after serv- ing time on terms of { to 8 years.

 and women alike. Sixteen states al- ready have established some kind of control over hiring of women.
 In less acute situations private employment agencies, union hiring halls, college and vocational school placement bureaus and individuals may be permitted to handle hiring.
 Some areas may offer workers a wider choice of jobs than others; some may allow unlimited hiring of women and war veterans by em- ployers; some may allow unrestrict- ed use of classified advertising and some may require that all help wanted publicity be carried out by USES.
 Local newspapers and local WING offices will be the best sources of information as to how the new con- trols will be applied in a given area
 Manpower officials, who have out lined the program in past weeks, have emphasized that it is based on voluntary, locally administered pro- cedureS which have been success full in many labor shortage areas.
 Three-FOld Purpose
 Its three-fold purpose is:-
 1. To convince job-seekers that they should enter industries accord- ing to the importance of those in- dustries to the war effort. This procedure. called priority referraI, lis designed to send workers to critical jobs for which they are qualified and in which wages are comparable to those they have been getting. It will be supplemented by employment ceilings" limiting hir- ing by employers. and "manpower priority committees" which will de- eide which industries shall have first call on available labor.
 2. To check what officials re- gard as a dangerous decline in ern- ployment in munitions and war; supporting civilian activities.
 3. To recruit workers-over long distances if advisable--for industries which are plagued by labor short- ages. These include numbering, mining. foundries. forge shops and ball bearings.
 Bureau of Labor Statistics re- veaIed that the industrial labor force lost 100000 workers in the first quarter of the year and that munitions industries-despite in- creased production requirements in several heavy items--dropped l00,- 900 workers per month during this period. Moreover, preliminary stu- dies indicate an intensification of the trend in April and May.
 Public acceptance of the new hiring plan, is not assured. al- though 1t has been endorsed by Ia. bor, management and government leaders and had been reported by WING to be well set up all over the nation. A recent public opinion sur vey revealed that a majority of people interviewed did not approve of WING Chairman Paul V. Mo. Nuts new controls.
 As the program went into effect, the WING made several minor shifts in it's classification of various areas according to their labor needs.
 It deIeted entirely from any list- ing the areas of Framinghan-Marl- b0ro, Taunton and HayeThiil. all In Massachusetts and all of which now are considered to have no serious labor problems.

In spite of Q last minute radio appeal by Colonel J. Monroe John son, director of the Oface of Defense Transportation, large crowds were evide, !. in the local railway station and bus terminals at an early hour this morning, and local transporta. ton officials predicted that the holi- day rush would be one of the largest in history.
 J. H. Greer, assistant superin. tendent of the New Haven Railroad office, said trafflc was considerably worse than on last 4th of July. be. cause of the extended weekend. He said extra coaches were being run wherever possible, but could not say whether accommodations would be sufficient for all. Heaviest travel was reported on the New York run.
 Peak of the outgoing trafflc is ex- pected to be reached this afternoon, and peak of incoming trafflc Tues- day night. Some slackening of is expected over Monday and possibly Sunday.
 Estimating that 20 per cent of rail travel today is non-essential, Col- onel Johnson declared last night, There is no room today on the country's trains or inter -city bus lines for holiday travellers" and that "only those on essential business have the right to travel in these cru cial days"
 If you fail to heed our request" he said, T must warn you that your 1lon-essential pleasure trip may turn out to be rather unpleas. ant. You may be left stranded and unable to return when you wish.
