 Before anyone had a chance to question the veterans, however, a gust of wind carried of the tent and they gave up the enterprise and left the grounds.
 The governors announcement that an immediate survey of housing fa- cilities was being made by State Housing Administrator Prentis White, followed a disclosure that in the Hartford area alone, there was waiting list of more than 1000 war veterans and servicemen's fam- lilies who were unable to find liy-
