 that time were in most instances residents of smaller towns, who found better living here and en- loved the stimulus of city life pust as the trend points now" he said. Though Waterbury's popu- iation dropped more than 5000 be- tween 1918 and 1919, MT. Horan re- called that the majority of the evacuees were roomers who had not established their families here. or women workers who eventually re- turned to the.r home towns.
 Waterbury's housing situation to- day remains approximately as it was in 1922 when the city's war factories recruited thousands of war workers to turn out munitions of war. despite the fact the Ma tional Housing agency has produced hundreds of units by converting large room houses into apartments and building several housing pro- jects. Every realtor, who has dealt with the problem daily, reflected dark pessimism as to the prospects of relief.
 Ten Per Cent Normal
 D. T. Harrington. local Federal Housing. authority, discerns no change in the housing problem. Though his office handle srentals for some 300 government units, only two apartments were vacant as of yesterday. and 1t was anticipated that both would be rented within a day or two. A normal housing situa- tion. MT. Harrington said. reflects citywide vacancy of ten per cent or more.
 Lester E. Young, former president of the Waterbury Real Estate board, reported he saw little relief in sight until the post war building program opens up wide. which he believes may not occur until many months after Japanese victory. Though the opening of the Porter tract several weeks ago offered shelter to ap- proximately iie families. the East Main street realtor said he noted no decrease in the number Of daily rent-seekers.
 More Dwellings Needed
 Norman Neale. who also served as president of the local realty board for several years, was of the opin. ion rents would. not be easily ob' talnable until Speculative builders erect two and three family dwel. lings after the war.

 Allocation of U. s. coal would be made, it was said by the newly or- ganized European coal committee of which most Allied nations, except Russia, are members. This commit tee also hopes to allocate all coal mined in Germany and declared surplus to military needs there.
 Russian membership is expected to come after agreements on pre- parations are made.
 Untill today's development the government had been pinning its hopes on plans to revive quickly coal production in the Ruhr.
 The consensus now is that this program must have begged down so severely that U. s. coal is now deemed necessary to bridge the gap until Ruhr production rises.
 The United Press revealed three weeks ago that President Truman had asked Prime Minister Winston Churchill to make field marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery coal czar of the Ruhr and to order German labor into the mines at the threat of mo work, no eat"

Politics
 In Passing

Internal trouble is blamed for the White House decision to replace the three.man Surplus Property Board, Of which ex-governor Robert A. Hurley is a member, with one man commission. There has been considerable speculation back here in Connecticut this week about Bob" Hurley's chances of getting the job, but, according to reliable Capitol reports, his chances are slim. There has been more going on within the confines of this war board of recent months than has been made known to the public. As q matter of fact the going was so tough that Senator Guy Gillette resigned his chairmanship. The main reason for this was that actual control of the board had been taken by Edward H. Heller, California in- dustrialist. The. new chairman, w. Stuart Symington. probably found this out. Maybe President Truman did, too, and decided the one-man board would be better. As mat ter of fact it's reported that the board is virtually directed by Col. Alfred E. Howse, its administrator, who is blamed also for the recent resignation of the board general counsel, Wesley A. Sturges. In view of all these circumstances friends of ex-governor Hurley are not too confident of the Connec- ticut mans ability to weather the storms and remain the one-man commission.

If certain Democratic leaders seemed to be smiling to themselves this past week you can hardly blame them. Everyone had writ ten of the city court as a lost cause, so far as "spoils" were con- cerne6. The abrupt announce nnent from the two judges of the court that they had finally con- cured on the various appoint nients to the minor posts cer- tafnly indicated that while every- one else was acceding to what seemed to be the inevitable there were those who figured that if an agreement had been made, even a gentleman's agreement, then it was worth keeping all around. That high Republican sources felt it was better to give than to be accused of breaking faith is all too evident.

Post Office Nudes
Ugly, NOT Naughty
Thot's Verdict OF
Eminent Author

INDIANAPOLIS, March 10
(Pp - Those nudes that adorn
the post-office walls at Kenne-
bunkport. Me-, and which have
been called to the attention of
the United States Senate, aren't
naughty - they're just plain
ugly.
That was the verdict today of
Booth Harrington, the Indiana
author who has maintained a
Summer home there for many
years.
But don't get the impression
"Tark" thinks the undraped,
portly gals should be left there.
He was just explaining that
they were resented because they
are inartistic- New England
Puritanism has nothing to do
with it,"
In fact, Harrington said that
he and another noted novelist,
Kenneth Roberts, were among
subscribers to a fund to have
the mural replaced. He said the
fund was started by Charles Ew-
ing, a retired New York archi-
tect now living in Boston.
The subject of replacing wha.
"Tark" called can unpleasant
picture" was reopened by the
United States Senate yesterday
when Senator White (R-Me)
prevailed upon the Senate to
amend an appropriation bill to
authorize the post office depart
ment to arrange for a new MUIR

Senate minority leader said,
