BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

Although traffic is still far
above normal and hitchhiking the

lion. the traffic situation is some
what improved today" ID. Grant
Mickle. city traffic engineer. said
Mickle said he is considering
changes in one-way streets TO
speed traffic and his men are now
studying the problem. No changes
have been made yet but some
probably will be If the DSR strike
continues very long.
The traffic engineer eaid his
men made a check last evening at
Woodward avenue and Grand
boulevard and found that traffic
there has increased % per cent.
This II really tremendous
increase" Mickle said. because
traffic at that point Is always
at near capacity"
Mickle said the traffic decrease
today is due 10 the fact that many
car owners. who used their cars
yesterday. made arrangements 10
ride down with neighbors today.
Thus Detroit quite unconsciouSly
worked out its own good neighbor
policy and. incidentally. a unan-
imous contempt for the driver who

.RENT-GOUCHING
 REPORT DENIED
No Complaints Filed at Mayors Office; Agencies
 May Be Named

Inquiry at the office of Mayor Vincent Scully today brought the information that to date no com- plaints have been registered with him on rent-qouging or evidences of rent profiteering within the City of Waterbury. In some of the larger cities of the state, particularly Bridgeport, complaints have been registered about rents soaring.
 This week at Hartford there were hearings on bills calling for ap- pointment of agencies that would investigate such complaints and pre- vent any further alleged abuses by landlords. Organized groups of prop erty owners and real estate men, however, opposed such legislative act on the ground that 1t might work hardship on many who were guiltless. It was also called bureau- cratic and a bar to capital invest ments in the field of property own- ership.
 Bristol was referred to at the hearing as a city where rents had become so scarce that defense pro- ject workers were living in automo- piles and @ trailer camp had been created outside of Hartford.
 Conditions such as these are not believed to exist in Waterbury, &C., cording to information given out by the mayors office.

BISHOP ST. HOME
 DAMAGED BY FIRE
Mother, 2 Children Made Homeless - Oil Stove
 Cause of Blaze

Mrs. Sarah Mazone, colored, and her two young children, were given shelter by neighbors after a fire ruined her home at 52 Bishop street late yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Mazone had arrived home from work and had lighted the stove in her home before going out to a neighbor's house to get her two children.
 The fire started from flooded oil stove, Lieut.. Eugene Legge of the fire marshal's office reported. It ignited the woodwork and the blaze spread throughout the first floor and climbed up the rear porches of the three-story brick building.
 An upper floor occupant, Morris Ganezer, Jr., whose father owns the building, noticed the fire and made an effort to extinguish it. A pedestrian turned in the alarm at Box PA and five companies of fire men responded. When the firemen arrived the fire had made consid- erable headway but the blaze was controlled before the upper apart- ments were destroyed. Damage to the structure was considerable. In addition to the downstairs apart ment, there is a clothing store and small restaurant. The clothing store is owned by Morris Ganezer, ST.
 Other occupants of the building are Mrs. Carrie Norflet, MT. and Mrs. Alexander Lett. and MT. and Mrs. Thomas Harrison and their six children. The other fami- lies were able, to go back into their tenement.
