HOUSES INSPECTED
 BY N. H. A. AGENTS
Recommendations on Ken. tai Basis to Be Given
 Consideration

Between IS to 20 large houses in various parts of the city were in- veStigated by representatives Of the National Housing Agency yesterday which will be considered for the seven.year renting plan, The agency plans to convert these houses to apartments to house war workers.
 The representatives of the MIA will first consider the availability Of the houses and then file Q report, However, there Is no indication of immediate plans to enter into rental arrangements with properly owners owners.
 D. T. Burlington, Inc, fee negotla- tor for the MIA, is attempting to locate enough large houses to pros vide 300 families with apartments, sized anywhere from one to four rooms. IL is expected that 100 large houses will solve this problem.
 The houses investigated yesterday are in building zones In which apartments are not barred. The pur- pose of this is not to delay the pro. ]ects should the houses be found suitable. Tn cases where houses are located in restricted areas, some ac. ton by the city government will be necessary to make these houses available for apartments.

POTATO SUPPLY
 HERE VERY LOW
Wholesalers Are Reported Placing Restriction on
 Pending Shipments

With purchases of potatoes re- stricted by lo3al wholesalers a fear of insufficient supplies of the staple product began to gain headway here today. One large wholesaler said difficulties in obtaining new stock from Maine had cut the amount of potatoes available here, and unless government restrictions on shipping are lifted a serious shortage may result in the near future. So far, however, housewives have had little difficulty in obtaining the com modity and with many families still possessing large supplies stored last fall, the prospective limitation of new supplies Is not expected to create Q critical condition.
 "Black market" activities are be- lieved to blame for the decrease in supplies in several states of the east. Shortage of cars for shipments has cerated priority rating system, 1t is reported and wholesalers in need of stocks have been unable to obtain truck deliveries because of higher cost involved.
 Seed potatoes are expected here soon, and 1t is believed if @ real shortage of table potatoes results the seed product may be used as food,

FUEL DELIVERIES
 CONFUSE DEALERS
Many Bound By Agree. ment Not to Deliver Less
 Than 25 Gallons

Although 0 spokesman for the OpA considered the 25-gallon de- livery action of Waterbury dealers Q fair trade practice, 1t was revealed that not all dealers were complying with the restriction voted Thursday night. one dealer said that the re. tailers are on the honor system and no one refused to take a 20-gallon delivery.
 The same dealer added that the emergency oil office shipped out 25 gallons providing conditions war ranted 1t. Another range oil spokes. man said that while all the dealers were not holding deliveries to at least 26 gallons, they would be soon
 City dealers declared that 1t was impossible to deliver 26-gallon quan- titles without increasing operating costs. Their vote to maintain de- liveries to that amount was taken after the state emergency oil ofiice requested 20-gallon home deposits aS means of spreading available supply. Kerosene retailers are not permitted, by OPA ruling, to leave more than 26 gallons ct Q home during the crisis.

find used, but serViceable replace. ment, Tenders and sheet metal parts of course, are out for the duration.
 Essential Repairs
 As for the plea of officials of the ofiice Of Defense Transportation in Washington that essential" repairs be given precedent over all others The Democrat's informant de: clnred that such c policy had been followed here even in normal times. We realize c truck owner needs his vehicle, and we have always taken them first, he said.
 Increased truck repair work here has been due not only to the de- terioration brought about by heavy loads and continuous service, but also to the fact that many of the trucks are handled by inexperienced drivers.
 "They don't stay long enough tc learn how to handle c truck prop erly," the local dealer said. They've no sooner become accustomed to It's, than they're called for service, and the owner Of the vehicle has to And a new driver"
 A number of commercial estnb. llshmentS in the city maintaining fleets of trucks have had to elim- mate or curtail their maintenance work because they have lost lnech- anicS to the service, and this has increased teh burden of repair work for regular garages. Transportation companies in tho main have been abel to maintain their service de- partments, and must continue to do SO, since few repair shops arc equipped to service buSseS.
 "Kccp 'Em Rolling"
 Although many Of the trucks now pounding along tho highways in and out of the city have seen years Of service and are frequently in need of repair work, there Is also . q considerable number Of recent vintage, The Democrat was told. Several Of the large industries here employing fleets of trucks for short haul work had replaced badly worn vehicles with new ones prior to the entry of this country into the war.
 The overall situation in regard to essential truck hauling in the city is not unfaVorable and tho general be- lief among repairmen is that they can continue to keep 'em rolling" for on indefinite period, But what will happen If the war Is of unex- pected duration Is "AnybodyS guess" The Democrat was told.

available today or tomorrow. Ever if additional supplies could be ob' tained by the wholesale concern to- day, he said, retailers most of whom have already obtained their weeks allowance, would not want 1t be- cause 1t would mean deduction ol a portion of next weeks ration.
 Prices Changed
 Housewives storrned about vege' table counters today, buying abun' dantly and apparently with no con- sideration of price. But retailers, i was discovered, in several cases hac removed the price signs dispalyet earlier in the week and were at. tempting to make up for meat short. age by receiving additional profit or vegetables.
 Tn one store visited Tuesday af- ternoon peas sold at the rate of 2; cents for two quarts. Today thu sign indicated Q price of l9 cent! for one quart. The OpA ceiling price on peas is IS cents per pound, anc Q quart measures only i3 ounces.
 One store boosted the cabbage price from 10 cents Tuesday to l. cents today, still within the ceiling price limits, however. Two other downtown stores, however, continued to obtain a penny Q pound over the OPA limit. One of these stores 6 few days ago sold spinach at 2t cents a peck and today for 10 cents & pound. Tomatoes were among the other vegetables selling above the OPA allowance, two stores charging 8 cents per pound when the maxi- mum allowed is 20 cents.
 OPA investigators were in Water bury earlier this week to conduct a survey of prices, and action to penal ize violators may be in store short- ly, 1t has been indicated
 Very little beef, lamb or veal was available today, most of the meat supplies consisting of pork. Supplies of sausage and sandwich meat were highest today, but 1t was evident from the rows and rows of conSum- CTS waiting that these would be in. sufficient to meet requirements.
 Larger Population
 One wholesaler manager said to. day that the shortage situation iI no worse than 1t was last week, but admitted the supplies are livery light" He credited increase in loca population As one cause for the dif- ficulty in meeting demands of loca consumers.
 RumorS which continued to spread about the city today on Q possible freezing" of meat sales pending ra- tioning arc believed responsible tc some extent for the rushing of meal stores. Although meat rationing ii due to start sometime next month no contemplated freezing of sales such as for canned goods has beer indicated, and 1t Is believed such measure would accomplish no good purpose.

Tales of the depth of the snow, the privation suffered as Q result of 1t and the narrow escapes from death through exposure of those caught out in 1t have lost nothing through the telling over the period of years, until the blizzard has as- sumed a legendary aura and mem- bers of the younger generation are inclined to be skeptical. But news paper accounts and photographs taken after the cessation of the storm showing snow piled high on the city's streets leave no doubt as to the epic quality of the big snow- fall.
 But those who experienced the "big freeze" of l943, when temper atures in the city and vicinity drop ped to phenomenal depths are con- vinced that the blizzard was not so much, by comparison. The record- smashing low marks of early last month, officially reported as 35 de- grees below and unofficially much lower, will live long in the memories of Waterburians, And when the elders recalled the blizzard today, children and grandchildren, some of
 hem still nursing frostbitten ears, countered with tales of their own, and only a month old, at that.
