 Miss Esther Mccarthy, sister of Rev. William R. Mccarthy, who has been interned in the Philippines since Dec. 19, 1942, said she was delighted to hear of today's an- nouncement by the War depart ment, and would send a message to the hdjutant General immedi- ately. The family of the Maryknoll missionary received the first mes sage in a year from their brother about two weeks ago, and have been attempting to contact him directly ever since.
 They are uncertain of the priests locality, but beleive he is in close proximity to Manila.
 Previously it was reported that Father Mccarthy was transferred in May, 1943, from Santo Tomas, the northern Manila internment camp, to the vicinity of Los Banos, about 40 miles farom the capital.
 T-Sgt Raymond Sterberg, son of Mrs. Mary Sternberg. 234 North Main street, is the only other Wa terbury serviceman known to be a prisoner of the Japs in the Philip pines. He was captured January, 1942, while stationed at Nichols Field. AS far as could be aScertained, Mrs. Sternberg has received no word from the soldier.
 The War department announced few days ago that the names civil ian internees released in Manila will be made known as soon as a con- prehensive list is available, and only after the next of kin have been so notified.

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 1UP)- The Weather Bureau reported to- day that an average three-inched snowfall blanketed the state during the night and would be followed by clearing skies, and colder tempera- lures.
 The storm caused most incOn- venience to northwestern sections of the state which were troubled all last week by high winds which whipped drifts onto the rural high ways. BulldOzers and power shOvels were necessary to Scrape the frozen drifts, some of them from five to eight feet high, from the roads.

Neus Of Connecticut

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 5-(UP)- With the General Assembly reluct- ant to give him blank-check pow CT of appointment, Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin was expected in radio broadcast tonight to set the date for special election to fill the vacancy in the U. s. senate.
 Because a set-up must be made for absentee ballots for overseas servicemen, the date probably will be sometime in June, it was un- derstood.
 The house has approved bill authorizing the direct appointment, and this will come before the senate tomorrow. The Demcratic-controlled senate reportedly will amend it., requiring that the appointment be confirmed by the legislature.
 Up to this time Democrats have insisted that the governor,if given direct appointive power,name a Democrat to the vacancy and sub- init his name for approval before hand. This the governor has stead fastly refused to do. He also has declined to consider the senator ship for himself because it would mean the automatic elevation of Democratic Liuet. Gov. Wilbert Snow to the governorship and give that party control of all the state elective offices.
