CHARGE INJUSTICE
IN JURY'S RULING
Attorney Cassidy Wants
Verdict in Will Case
Be Set Aside

In q motion asking Superior Court
Judge Frank p. McFcvoy TO set aside
the appellants verdict returned by
o jury Thursday In the Atchison will
appeal case, Attorney John II. Cas-.
sldy, defense counsel, states "mani-
fest injustice" has been done and
that the wrong Is so clear that II
denotes the Jury was mistaken IN
applying legal principles or that 1t
justifies suspicious that the Jurors
may have been influenced by preju-
diees, suggestions or partially.
The appellants were two children
Of the late Lawrence Atchison OF
Middlebury who left them and an
other son only 800 each from an es-
tate valued at nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Cassidy states In his motion
that the jury may have been UNI
duly influenced by the appellants
counsel's claims that the two chill
dren cannot support themselves
and would become town charges UNI
less the will were overruled.
II Is further claimed that the jury
verdict violated the courts charge
that under law q person could dis
pose Of his property by will as he
wished and the mere fact that he
dislnherited his children did not
invalidate the document. The de-
Tense claims the jurors substituted
their own ideas for those Of the
testator as to how the will should
be made.
The verdict was based on the APP
pellant's claim that father who dis
inheyiUS his children Is Of uilsound
mind, the motion states, adding that
81 witnesses testified as to the
soundness Of Mr.. Atchison's mind
and memory.

HOUSING PROJECT
ONLY TEMPORARY
Government Expects TO
Raze 0S@to OF War
Homes in Near Future

More than % per cent of the wal
housing units assigned for develop
ment to the Federal Public Housing
Authority during recent months
represent temporary construction
scheduled for dismantllng after the
end OF the war, Commissioner Her
bert Emmerich said today.
Between October !, 1912 ana
March Is, i943, approximately i6S,.
900 units of all types were pro.
grammed by the National Housing
Agency for construction with gov
renment funds. OF these, i60,S00 arc
OF temporary construction and only
1000 represent permanent conStruc-
don. Most OF the permanent units
are Federally -aided low rent pro-
JectS converted to war housing for
the duration Of the emergency,
The shift 10 temporary construc-
ton as wartime measure has been
rapid since the establishment Of tho
FpHA In 1912, Mr.. Elnmerich said.
Three important detectives are
served by this policy; conservation
Of critical materials, protection
against overbuildlng IN communities
unable permanently to Absorb, addi-
tional housing, and lower costs,
The saving IN materials, lac point
ed out is from 80 to 40 per cent.
while temporary construction Is %
to Is per cent lower in cost than
permanent building. Thus, the
funds required to construct 10 per-
manent family units will finance
about II temporary units,
Whenever possible, Mr.. Emmerich
said, the temporary projects are
placed on leased sites rather than
on purchased land. This policy Is
pursued In the interest Of economy
and also TO facilitate the removal
OF temporary structures after the
war, he said,
