CHILDREN AIM TO BREAK WILL
Margaret, Alden AtchisOn to Carry Efforts to Su.
 preme Court of Errors

Margaret and Alden Atchison children of the late Lawrence Atch- ison of Middlebury, will carry their efforts to break their fathers will and gain his $29,o00 estate to the State Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford next Wednesday, 1t was disclosed by the assignment list re- leased today.
 The hearing on their appeal from a superior court Judgment has been set for l0:30 a. m. in the high court They will be represented by Attor- ney Michael V. Blansfield, while Att torney John H. Cassidy will appear for Lawrence Lewis, executor of the AtchiSon will.
 The two children, who were be- queathed $l00 each from the estate, won @ jury verdict a year ago in superior court in their appeal from probate, but last Nov. 6 Judge Frank P. McEvoy handed down a decision setting aside the verdict. He ruled the jury had been moved by prejud- ices and sympathy for the children. Another son, Lawrence, Jr., who also was left $l00, did not enter the pro- ceedings.

An unusual stipulation was ac- cepted by Judge Edward J. Quinlan In superior court yesterday after noon when counsel in a 5000 civil action on trial before & jury agreed to postpone their hearing and give precedence to another action.
 Five witnesses had already testi- fled yesterday afternoon in the &C., tion brought by Mrs. Carrie M. Scholar of Waterbury against the Connecticut Go. of New Haven, when it became evident the hearing would have to extend into next Tuesday. A special assignment had already been made for the $25,000 suit of Anthony Melillo against Frederick Imbimbo, and the court expressed anxiety in getting that case under way.
 Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, counsel for the plaintiff, and Attor- ney Edwin H. Hall, defense attor- ney, agreed to give way to the oth- CT action, and to resume presenta- ton of testimony in the Scholar case after the Melillo trial is over. Pressure of time, caused by the ex- piration of the current jury term on June IS, was the basis of the shuffling of cases.
 Legal observers stated that never before had a jury trial been halted before in Waterbury to permit hear ing of another jury action. Once recently a jury was impaneled and then excused until later date for the actual hearing. but presen- tation of testimony had not actual ly started Tn that case absence of . principal witness was the cause of the delay.
 Jurors chosen for the Scholar trial may also be impaneled for the Melillo case, 1t is has been indicated, and thereby several of the jurors may be in the unusual position of serving on two juries at the same time. The whole panel has been in- structed to report to the court Tues day when impaneling of the jury for the $25,0o0 action Is made.
 Mrs. Scholar is suing for injuries sustained Dec. 31, 1943 when she was struck by a trolley car from which she had alighted on Camp bell avenue in West Haven. She claims she crossed in front of the vehicle in accordance with usual procedure when the driver suddenly started up without warning. Her daughter, Mrs. Robert Martin, to whose home she was going, had fol-

 And any young man who wants AAF wings should keep this ideal of teamwoyk uppermost in his mind. It is the key to AAF successes in battle. It will be the key to his own success in the AAF.
 If you want to fly with the AAF, you may apply at any AAF Examining Board for enrolment in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve. Upon passing the preliminary qualifying physical and mental tests, you will become member of the U. s. Army Air Forces-on inAefiUe duty. This means that you will not be called for training until you have reached your 18th birth day. If you are at work you may remain on the job until you are IS. If you are in high school, you may elect to finish the semester you are in when you become IS. Ifyou are high school graduate, not over Y years and 9 months, you may elect to take advantage of the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program, which pro- vides sfree college training for men approach ing military age.
 When called, you will first be given basic" training. During this period, you Will take "aptitude" tests to determine whether you will be classified for training s Gunner, Bombardier, Navigator or Pilot.

E ENLISTMENT in theyAir Corps Enlisted T. Reserve is once more open to qualified young Americans ,. who want to win their wings on the greatest team in the world"-an AAF air combat crew.
 In April, thanks to the air-mindedness of Americas youth, the AAF's person. nel program was well ahead of schedule. More than enough men were in training, and in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve, to meet scheduled quotas for combat crews. At the same time, the need for men in other branches of the army was urgent. Therefore, opportunities to join the AAF including the l7-year-old Enlisted Re- serve-were suspended.
 As the Commanding General pointed out, the suspension of enlistments in the Reserve was intended only as temporary measure. Accordingly, effective June l, enlistments have again been opened in the l7-year-old Enlisted Reserve in order to insure sufficient number of qualified individuals for training this fall.

tude rating for particular position, you may be given an opportunity to compete for the classification that you prefer. But 1t is important to remember that aN jobs on the AAF team are vitally important .. that air combat crews not only are chosen from the very cream of the nations young men, but that each seat in every plane must be filled by the man 6est quail fled to fill it.
 Gunners go into actual combat as non- commissioned officers. In addition to being the worlds best aerial marksmen, gunners may qualify as trained technicians-in radio, armament or airplane mechanics. Pilots, Navigators, and Bombardiers are graduated from training as 2nd Lieuten- ants or Flight Officers.
 Your job, and your rank, in the AAF will depend upon your own demonstrated abilities. For full information as to quail lying for the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve, see your nearest AAF Examining Board or local Army Recruiting Station.
 For PresAViGtiON Training 5.
 Whether or not you have yet reached IT, you can begin nOw to prepare yourself to qualify for the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve. See your local Civil Air Patrol officers about CAP. Cadet Training .. also see your High School principal or adviser about recommended courses in the Air Service Division of the High School Vic tory Corps. Both offer excellent pre-avia- ton training .. and help point the way to AAF wings.

Today, the AAF is the largest, most powerful air force in the world. Fighting side by side with the planes of our Navy and our Allies, it has won control of the air in every theatre-and has carried the war to the military and industrial hearts of Germany and Japan. It is daring the enemy to "come up and fight" Yet its losses have been less than anyone had anticipated or even dared to hope.
 That ali this has been accomplished is due, iA large measure, to the fact that the
