FEDERAL BALLOTS
 PROVE CONFUSING
Several Fathers of Local Soldiers Denied Right to
 Vote Yesterday

Several fathers of Waterbury servicemen were denied the right to vote yesterday when it was discov- cred the sons federal ballots had been advertently checked against the fathers names.
 In each of those instances the sons names were identical to the fathers and the servicemen were not eligible to vote. When the polling checkers cleared the federal ballots they checked the service mems names against their lists, which in each case contained the names of the fathers and not of the sons.
 When the fathers later appeared to vote they found check mark had already bene made against their names, and they were not allowed to cast a ballot.
 The difficulty was caused in part by the armed forces failure to af- fix the "Jr.' to names, and also in part to servicemen's failure to check and determine if they are eligible to vote before they sedn their ballots home, it was explained by election officials.
 It has been reported about a dozen such cases occurred yeSter- day.

 Paroling of Leopold was made possible when the State Board of Pardons last May granted him a conditional pardon and thereby brought his case within the juris- diction of the parole board.
 He was sentenced in connection with a fire on Baldwin street, which resulted in the deaths of two chil- dren and an alleged firebug.

Housing for 5,6O0,00Q
Persons Constructed
In Past -Four Years

Housing accommodations for S.
soc. 900 persons, particularly war
workers and their families, have
been built since the summer Of 1910
by both Government and private in
dustry, John B. Blandford, jr., ad-
ministrator of the National Housing
Agency, announced today.
A total OF 1886, ,e25 units were pri-
vately financed, the MIA said, and
737,665 were completed with Gov
ernment funds.
Most of the privately financed
buildings were of the family type,
while the Government provided
dormitory units, trailers and port
able shelters in addition to family
dwellings. Operations included con-
version of old dwellings as well AZ
new building.
More than 72,000 privately H.
nanced units now are under con-
struction while the building of more
than II 900 is either already under
way or ready to begin. SLIGHTLY
more than $4,000 Government
financed units have been started.
with work on almost 5000 about to
begin.
More than $4,000 units were COM
pleted during June by both Gov
ernment and private industry, COM
pared with a total production of
53,023 units during the same period
last year. War housing needs of
migrating workers have been met in
most areas, although there still are
some critical spots, especially on
the Pacific Coast.
In addition to housing provided
by this means, approximately o.
100000 war workers, many with
families, have been found homes
through community cooperation
and war housing centers.
Virtually all publicly financed war
housing now being built is of tenn
porary construction and will be
torn down after the war, while pri-
vate building is Of a permanent type
and will be absorbed for normal
housing needs in the postwar era,
the MIA said.
