BURKE GIVEN JAIL
 SENTENCE TODAY
Prosecutor Refers to Case as Fragrant Disregard
 of Courts Orders

Henry Burke, 43, of 203 Orange street, whose real name was re- vealed in city court as James Black, was brought before Judge John l.. Gaffney on charges of assault, breach of peace, and norI-support.
 Judge Gaffney ordered @ sus- pended sentence on the first two counts but sent the accused to jail for 30 days on the non-support charge.
 Mrs. Burke said that her husband had not contributed any money to the family since he was brought before the court on the same charge on April 3, and received contin- uance to this date.
 While Mrs. Burke was testifying that her husband told some of his friends that he did not want to work, the accused, in a raised voice, shouted: "It's @ lie."
 Judge Gaffney called the accused who has only one arm to the wit ness stand and demanded an apol. ogy and followed with a severe rep- rimand that "this court or any court demands respect" He said that he was liable for contempt of court as @ result of his outburst.
 Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Galullo in referring to the accused's previous record when testimony was finished, remarked that his atten- ton was drawn to the great many cases of non-support which have come up recently on the city court docket. He was apparently without any, explanation to the cause but observed that times now are much better than ever before.
 Then he proceeded to tell the court that the Burke case was the most fragrant" he ever had and that 1t had continually cropped up before him since July 1, 1889. He said that the accused was trading on symphathy from the court be- cause of his physical defect.
 After the accused stepped from the witness stand after receiving sentence, he muttered something to his wife who sat near the stand. and Prosecutor Galullo called the man back to charge him with con- tempt of court.
 The accused said that he was talking to himself and the prose- cutor then questioned his wife as to what her husband mumbled but she too said that she was unable to catch what he said, and Prosecutor 0alullo decided to drop the charge when no witnesses were eble to interpret what Che accused said.

There Were!

The Department of Commerce reported at Washington yesterday that there were 573 vacant dwell ling units in Waterbury, but the figures lost their significance when 1t was explained that they were for April 1, 1940, before the start of the defense boom that has resulted in an acute housing shortage here.
 As of a year ago, the city had 26,00l dwelling units, with 25,396 of them occupied. The city's pop ulation was s9,314, a decrease of 583 since 1880.
 The government has already announced plans for construction of 300 dwelling units here as 6 defense project. The city has never taken advantage of federal grants for housing projects.

Belief was expressed by city hall circles today that the board of fire commissioners will fill the three vacancies now existing on the permanent force but no con- frnation could be secured from the fire commissioners on the prospective appointments.
 The death of two firemen and the recent promotion of Lieut.. Walter J. Joy have created the vacancies. Chairman Finton J. Phelan announced at the last meeting when 1t was adjourned to meet Friday that the board would consider the cost on re- pairs to the aerial truck and also study the revision of fire preven- ton regulations.
