DoddonoNo Awaits Ruling From Board
 Released From State
 Prison Yesterday

Michele Daddona, 46, was re- leased from the Wethersfield State Prison yesterday afternoon by the Parole Board, after serving more than three years on fnanslaughter penalty of two years and eight months to five years.
 The prisoner had been detained at the state institution by immi- grafton authorities and his release had been sought since Nov. II, when he was first eligible for parole.
 Prison authorities turned Dad dona over to immigration officials, who released him under bond, pending a decision from the Board of Review in Washington.
 Daddona pleaded guilty to the manslaughter charge Sept. g, 1922, after several jurors had been boiled in Superior Court to try him on a charge of second degree murder, arising from the knife-stabbing Of Frank Caruso, 40. of Waterbury. Sentence was imposed at once by Judge John Rufus Booth, now 8 state referee.
 Shortly after Daddona's confine- ment in Wethersfield, immigration authorities started deportation pro- ceedings on the ground that he committed a crime involving moral turpitude within five years after his legal entry into the country.
 Daddona came here from Italy in 1914, but entered the country H. legally. In 194O he was permitted to go to Cuba and return here legally. His entry is listed as of 1940.
 Habaes corpus proceedings which had been brought to obtain the prisoners release were dismissed last week by Superior Court Judge Samuel Mellitz of Hartford. Attor- ney Edward Mascolo and Attorney Francis B. Feeiey are counsel for Daddona.

C. L. Borto Gets Decree InWnsted
 Recital of Domestic
 Grief Wins WateFiown
 Resident Divorce

Winsted, Dec. 8-Judge Edward J. Daly presided at session of the Superior Court yesterday when several uncontested divorce actions and short calendar meters were heard.
 Relating that his 180 pound wife had bounced coffee pot off his head, struck him in the chin with ketchup bottle, chased him around with an ax, threatened him with a gun and took the family car off to Vermont making it irn- possible for him to go to his work 13 miles from home, Charles L. Barto of Watertown was granted a divorce from Evelyn A. Barto on the grounds of intolerable cruelty. The couple were married November IS, 1885, and separated while living on a farm in Southbury in July 1944.
 Two Winsted divorce actions were heard and decision reserved. Vincent Fred Douglas, now serving in the Navy, who seeks decree from Hazel Perry Douglas, now of Laconia, N. H., stated that he was the father of two children but not of third born in 1943. He said that they had lived at Hotel Gen. tral and separated on New Years Day, l943. The couple were mar ried July 5. 1889 at New Boston, Mass, and their two children are now being cared for by family in Granby under state direction. Jan- cite Yorker of Willow street and Edith Bouchez, chamber maid at Hotel Central, testified for Mir, Douglas.
 Mrs. Lavina c. Julian of Torring- ford street testified that her hus- band. Lawrence A. Julian, left her about four years ago. He is now re- siding at Culver City, Calif She said that they were married at Winsted December 28, 1914 and that four of their children are still minors. She also stated that her husband would drink and then become very cruel and that she had had him arrested in May 1886 when he was found guilty of intoxication and assault. Sergeant Waldo s. Heath stated that he had been arrested on three other occasions for non-support. A decree is sought on cruelty and de- sertion grounds.
 Judge Daly gave permission to amend the complaint to include ha- bitual intemperance in the divorce action of Mrs. Julia S. Mccarthy of Oakville against Francis J. Mo- Carthy of Waterbury. The couple were married January 1928 and have three minor children. Mrs. Mccarthy related that after her husband drank he would abuse her and that in March 1942 he hal left home. The complaint as originally drawn claimed a decree on the grounds of cruelty.
 President J. Howard Roberts of the Litchfield County Bar Associa- tion requested. that Rodney G. AL Ter of Salisbury be admitted to the bar without examinations, stating that the association had approved his application. Approval was given by Judge Daly and the attorneys oath was administered by Clerk c. Wesley Winslow.

within certain of the reconverSion agencies over the steps that should be taken. For instance, in the Civilian Production Administration there are officials who believe some controls should be instituted to channel building materials into areas where the housing shortage is most aggravated. Others argue that such controls would be in effective and that the answer lies in increasing production of build ing supplies.
 Still others believe the solution lies in establishing price ceilings on new homes and providing build CTS of low-cost housing with special priority assistance to obtain ma terials.
 Price Chief Chester Bowles is one of those who would like to see price controls on new construction. He estimated that at best only 5O0,000 homes would be built in 1946 when lot more than million are need ed. BowleS.- also estimates that during the coming year, 3,401. 900 families a major portion of them young married veterans will be forced to live with relatives or otherwise double up with other fortunate families.
 Meanwhile, Civilian Production Administration officials see some signs of improvement in the build ing materials situation. They report that brick production has risen 20 per cent since September. This in- crease, they said, was stimulated by 8 32-per-thousand increase in brick prices granted by OPA. A- though wages in the building ma terials industries have been in. creased, they still haven't attracted all the labor that's needed.
