CIO TO REVIVE HOUSING PLAN
Shortage to Be Considered at Special Meeting of
 Local Units

The housing situation in Water- bury promised to become an issue in the city election campaign today as John U. Driscoll, executive sec retary of the Waterbury Brass Workers union, charged that Mayor Vincent A. Scully has been duck ing the issue" by falling to rees- tabllsh the Waterbury Housing Authority. He made the charge in announcing 6 meeting of all local c. I. o. units tomorrow night at union headquarters to consider the housing shortage and to adopt Q plan to- seek federal aid for CO., operative home-building project here.
 MT. Driscoll Is the only remaining member of the original five-man Housing Authority, set up several years ago by Mayor Frank Hayes. The other four members have either resigned, become disqualified or died. The o. I. o. has several times asked the mayor to fill the vacan- cies and allow the authoriyt to begin functioning again.
 Responsibility for the housing shortage and for increases in rents can be laid at the feet of municipal authorities who passed up an oppor- tunity to obtain decent housing for Waterbury when federal funds were available" (T'his reference Is to the board of aldermen's rejection of a $l 100000 fderal housing grant of- fered before Mayor Scully took of fice).
 The defense housing units being built by the government here are only "makeshifts," said MT. Dris- coll.

Washington, Sept. 22-Even on a large-scale map of the vast Pa cific Ocean, Palmyra Island is less than a flyspeck, but that tiny dot figures highly in Uncle Sam's de- fense set-up. That Is why the law machinery of the department of justice is fighting to prove that Palmyra Island belongs entirely to the United States government.
