GETS HALF-DRUNK
 ON GLASS OF ALE

Naugatuck, June 3---John Kirdzik, 42. of 30 Locust street, q war veter- an, was given another chance today in borough court when he appeared to answer charges of intoxication and breach of the peace.
 Judge Joseph Talbot continued his case to June 30 and warned him to avoid trouble with his wife. Despite the fact he had trouble he said he wished to remain with his wife, un- less she desired otherwise.
 Kirdzik admitted he got half drunk, but stoutly insisted he only had one class of beer. He explained beer affected his nervous system considerably. He denied that he had taken whiskey, although other witnesses said he had.
 Prosecuting Attorney James Sweeney said that some provision should be made whereby Kirdzik who deceives about $50 a month for injuries should provide for his child.
 Kirdzik apparently was not very disturbed by being in court and many of his replies caused sup pressed merriment among the spec tators.
 The cases of Donald McNanee of the New Haven Y. M. 0. A. and Raymond Fl. Wahlberg of l2 Voise street. Ansonia. government work CTS, were continued until June 20.
 McNanee pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving an auto while under the influence of liquor. but admitted he had no operators li- cense. Wahlherg pleaded not guilty to counts of operating vehicle while under the influence of liquor rsld intoxlcation.

JAIL SENTENCE
 ON PAIR METED
Steamer and Mertz Guilty of Taking Car With-
 out Permission

Jail sentences were imposed on Frank Stemmer, 26, and Frederick Mertz, 2e, when they pleaded guilty to a charge of using an automobile without permission, when arraigned before Judge Edwin Q. Dickinson at the criminal session of superior court this morning. Mertz changed his plea today, having previously pleaded not guilty and elected trial by jury.
 stemmer was given nine months in the county jail, and Mertz was sentenced to four months. The lighter sentence was imposed on Mertz when the court was informed that he did not know the car had been taken without permission until after he had been riding with Stem Iner for some time.
 On May 1, a car owned by Joseph Danaher was taken from Green street. Tn Naugatuck some time later, the car struck another ma chine, but failed to stop after the accident. The other driver gave chase, and forced the car to halt and was questioning it's two occu- pants when they drove away again. He complained to Naugatuck police and the two accused were picked up. They were booked under fic- titious names, and were positively identified by the driver who had pursued them.
 States Attorney Lawrence Lewis read the records of the two accused to the court, both having been ar- rested numerous times since boy- hood, mainly on minor charges.
 Leniency for Mertz was asked by Attorney Edward Sweeney on the grounds that his client did not know the car was stolen until after Stenn- med had brought him to Naugatuck. Attorney William W. Gager repre- scented Stemmer.

Social Justice Article on
 Local Wages Shows Lack of Authenticity

An article appearing in the cur- rent issue of Social Justice" na- tionaI publication of the N. U. s. J.. purporting to expose Q low wage situation in Waterbury was secuted as Q fragrant misrepresentation of true conditions today. A statement that more than half the entire working population of the Brass City earns less than $20 indlvidu- ally" was called an outright false- hood in informed quarters.
 A paragraph in the story to the effect that Information concerning what working people are earning is difficult to get from official sources" was cited as evidence that the en- tire article was sketchy and lack- ing authenticity. Labor leaders could not be reached to comment on the story.

INTERESTS CLASH
ON j. S. HOUSING
Chamber of Commerce
Urges Abandoning Of
Flow to Subsidies.
BY the Associated Press.

By the ASSociatedPreSs.
An argument on the Governments
housing program was in full swing to-
day, with widely varying opinions
expressed on the wisdom of con-
tinued Federal participation in home
financing.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States urged that the Govern
ment halt the flow Of subsidies in the
housing field. The Peoples Lobby,
headed by Prof. c. E. Warne of Am
herst, urged President Roosevelt mot
to abandon your earlier announced
plan for a general and thorough
going Federal housing program, in
favor of private exploitation"
The administration was reported to
be planning a shift in policy to one
which. would place greater emphasis
on privately financed construction.
Increasing the percentage Of mort
gage loans which the F. H. A. may
insure from 80 to 80 per cent would
be one of the changes.
The chamber report, prepared by
COml0lLlGc IltdUeu ny .. L NldUdusll,
insurance man of Birmingham, Ala,
said:
Mortgage financing facilities in the
home field are ample and mortgage
funds are becoming increasingly
available.
"A forced stimulation Of building
will not achieve the ends which are
sought. 1t is more likely TO result in
wastes and increased costs. The build
ing industry is expanding its organiza-
tion under the stimulus of new activity
and can be counted upon to undertake
the work of making up the deficit in
housing facilities. Progress which Is
being made to this end will continue
unless broken down by the overload of
forced building"

housing be built by private enterprise

serted:
"Borah let us down when we asked

that he will not do it again if we

he may make?
I'VE asked him several weeks ago
to speak in Cleveland early in jan

advertised his speech. A week before
1t was scheduled, he wrote that he did
not feel it was the proper time. We
believe he could have told us that

him.
