Veterans of the city are today up in arms over the fact that the

to the state police force. The new list of appointments announced
at Hartford yesterday contains the name of only one Norwalker,

In several states it is necessary
that a man must have been an ex-

It is saidthat this matter will be
taken up at a meeting of the veterans
and that a. protest will be forwarded
to Superintendent Robert T. Hurley.
and also to Governor Templbtou.
A special meeting of the veterans
