 Ask $I0.000 for Support

An automobile collision suit in which damages of $23 900 are sought by four persons, and Q Si0,000 non- support suit have been given special assignments for next Wednesday in Superior Court before Judge James E. Murphy.
 Plaintiffs in the collision action are Eleanor Zembroski, Jennie Zem- bros1i, and Jennie Bochicchio, all of Waterbury, while defendants Wal ter J. Grimm of Hamden and the First National Bank and Trust Co. of New Haven.
 The accident occurred June 2, 1924 on Hamilton avenue. The plain tiffs were in car owned by Jennie zembroski and operated by Eleanor zembroSki, while the other car was owned and operated by Grifin, an employe of the bank.
 Grimm, who claims he sustained a chest injury when he was thrown against the steering wheel by the Impact, seeks $S.000 in a counter claim. The bank in its defense states the woman driver was guilty of negligence in that she swerved her car to the left of the highway as the other car approached.
 The plaintiff driver lists injuries to the left knee, right leg, chest, and abdomen, and states she sus- tained a concuSsion of the brain and a permanent scar. She asks for $l0,000.
 The car owner, who seeks $5,000, claims she sustained injuries to her lip and right knee and will have a permanent scar. The other passen- ger also asks for 5000, listing in- Juries to the nose, head, and face.

 workers" MT. Klutznick said, the Federal policy under the leases will be to give the owners an opportun- ity to recover immediate possession by purchasing the unexpired lease contracts at fair value where con- sistent with the best financial in- terestS of the government"
 Where 1t is not possible to reach an agreement with the owner on a fair sales price, the government will continue to operate the property for the balance of the lease term in or der to achieve maximum recovery Of public funds.
 According to MT. Klutznick, any lease cancellations entered into will be subject to the rights of present tenants, including OPA regulations on rents and occupancy.
 Program Began in 1942
 The conversion program began in October, l942, with property being leased for a stipulated period, usually seven years, with govern ment option to cancel. Privately owned properties. including exist ing buildings. obsolete apartment houses. warehouses and other types of structures acquired under this lease plan were converted or re- modelled by the Home Owners Loan Corporation into apartment units to provide dwelling accomo- dations for essential war workers. By the terms of the lease, the government in effect advanced the funds for the improvements, with operating income during the seven- year period to be applied against the government investment.
 The dwelling units thus acquired and converted by the HOLC are contained in 8,816 properties which originally had only l0,2l9 units. These were remodelled to provide a total of 49,370 units. During the past year these properties were transferred to the FPHA for man. agement and eventual disposition. The local operating job is being done by about $40 local real estate brokers, under FPHA supervision.
 Provided Under Lanhan Act
 Funds for the conversion program were provided under the Lanhan Act. Created primarily to provide housing for war workers in areas oi housing shortages. most of this converted housing now becomes a permanent part of the community housing supply. Throughout the past year these converted dwellings have been 95 per cent occupied, and since V-J Day occupancy has con sistently improved with a current high of more than 97 per cent.
 Owners who desire to terminate their leases under the conversion program should contact the FPHA Regional office in their respective areas.
