J. Pay For Policemen Warden Leo J. Brophy was non- committal today as to his stand in the event he receives request from the Naugatuck Police Association or their representatives for a change of a borough police ordinance to permit granting of pay to policemen off duty because of illness. It was learned through reliable source Tuesday that the policemen will go directly to the board of War den and Burgesses and request that they continue to be granted pay during the periods they are ill. Policemen said that for several years they have received pay while absent because of illness. However, Warden Leo J. Brophy said Tues 1 day that a recent check of borough records did not disclose that any Borough Board in the past changed the police ordinance so as to per- init pay for sickness. Recently Police Chief John J. Gormley posted a notice on the po- lice bulletin board to the effect that in the future Clause 21 of the police department manual would be follow ed.
 This clause reads: Absence from duty with or without leave, shall be followed by loss of pay. Policemen wounded or otherwise disabled while in the faithful performance of their official duty shall be entitled to full pay during the time necessarily lost in recovering. No allowance will be made for absence in case of ordin- ary sickness"
 Many policemen contend. however, that they have at times suffered from illness contracted in the course of their duty.
 They are all out in all kinds of weather and it is not unlikely that they would be taken ill occasionally as a result. They claim it is difficult to prove that this illness comes from their work and consequently under the present ruling they would not be paid.
