consisted of members of the Water

City Controller Cornelius F. Ma

Carroll, secretary of the War Hous-
ing Center. The meeting was held
at the Center, 100 Grand street
recommendations, suggestions,
and advice of the local Housing
Committee was encouraged by both
Mr.. Dobbs and Mr.. Davies, who
pointed out that most of the activi-
ties of the various housing agencies
is dependent on the local situation,
with which the community housing
group is more familiar.
On the basis of recent surveys
here and figures obtained from man.
ufacturerS and other sources, it Is
believed that increased housing ac-
Invites along certain lines will re-
suit in the coming months, Mr..
Davies stated. Both he and Mr..
Dobbs, however, intimated strongly
that they believed temporary hous
ing would be encouraged. They in
cluded in this public and private
conversions, rooms, rentals, recep-
ton centers or dormitories, and eX-
pansion of projects like those on
Long Hill or Hamilton avenue.
The question of private home con-
struction was also discussed at
length, but it was more or less the
concensus of those present that the
coming year would practically find
this phase of housing concentrated
into activities by large companies
or combines in what is known as
the garden type" apartment houses,
some of which have been planned for
this area already by private enter
prise. The difficulty of carrying
out the terms of priority certificates
has practically caused many private
builders to give up all hope of small
home construction for the duration
it was stated by several of those
present at yesterdays meeting.
Mr.. Dobbs' visit to Waterbury was
one of several he has made in
Connecticut during the last few days.
He was accompanied to this city by
Joseph E. Moran in charge of the
conversion program for MIA in
Connecticut, and William D. McCue,
Connecticut manager for War Hous-
ing Centers.

LIVELY SESSION
IN CITY COURT
Accused Given Discharge
on One Count, Suspended
Sentence on Second

A lively municipal court session
ended this morning when Judge
John L. GafTney dismissed charges
of resisting an officer against Of
tayio Magi, 49, 1886 East Main
street, and suspended sentence on
a breach of the peace charge. Magi
had been charged with striking
Supernumerary Patrolman John
Guglielmo, when the latter had at
Tempest 10 isg Ilin Coy Dune i. IN
front of Scovills East Main street
plant.
Taking the stand in his own de-
Tense Magi denied striking or re-
sisting the officer in any way. He
showed the court of pair of trous-
ers which he claimed the officer
had torn while arresting him.
Attempts by the prosecution to
introduce evidence that Magi had at
other times parked illegally were
angrily objected to by Magi's attor-
ney, Phillip Bernstein, who claimed
that the prosecution was trying to
prejudice the court by the intro
duction CT irrelevant, immaterial
and inconSequential' testimony.
In summing up his case, Attorney
Bernstein told tine court that no
evidence had been entered to prove
that on the day in question Magi
had parked illegally. He said that
the evidence showed that Magi had
not resisted the officer, other than
to ask why he was being tagged;
that Magi had not been treated as
an American citizen has right to
expect to be treated; and that he
doubted if a regular officer would
have acted in tine manner Super
numerary Guglielmo had acted.
Judge Gaffney disagreed on this
last point. and said that the Off
Ger had been doing his duty, and
that if Magi objected to being
tagged, the courtroom was the
proper place to take his objections.

maintain their production record
AS such it will accomplish a
three-fold benefit to the nation:
First, it will aid materially in
bringing home to consumers new
realizations of the values of dairy
products and their place in build
ing strong bodies, capable. alert
fighters and a nation able to take
the leading role in world affairs.
Second, it will serve a national
need by bringing to the entire ma
ton the realization that those
who produce, process and distrit-
ute vital foods are rendering a
greater service than would be pos
Sible in any other activity. The
Job of food production is just as
essential to the war effort as any
job on the firing line.
Third, it will serve as an en-
couragement to tired producers
and harried professors and dis
tributors to carry on in spite OF
the enormous difficulties which
beSet them.
Dairy Month this year pays a
special tribute to those who are
working long hours, under dis
couraging circumstances so that
the armed forces, our Allies, and
civilians, may eat. Short of need
ed equipment and labor, these I'M
sung heroes on farms and in dair-
les, chesee factories and milk and
ice cream plants must forego the
glory of the fighters and have as
their reward only the realization
that they have worked where they
could serve best. He also serves.
