Recruiters Attend State Conference
 Governor Urges
 Connecticut Men
 To Join Amy

Local recruiting officers attended a luncheon at the Hotel Bond in Hartford yesterday opening Army Recruiting week for the state of Connecticut. Maj. Stanley F. Lease, commanding the Waterbury re- crulting area; Capt. Francis x. Gallant, executive ofilcef; and It. Harry c. Rolf, Jr., represented the Waterbury Recruiting Service at the meeting N>-%
 Governor Raymond E. Baldwin issued a statement saying that he was confident that our Connecticut men will once again heed the call to duty and enlist in the Army. He designated April 8 to 13 as U. s. Army Recruiting Week in Connec- ticut. Lt.Gen. Griswold, command ing general of the First Service Command, also spoke at the open ing of the enlistment drive. He told recruiting officials of the need for large post war army to maintain peace.
 The statement by Governor Bald win follows:
 By the armed might and indom- itable courage of the American peo- pie we have emerged victorious from the most devasting and costly conflict in the history of mankind With peace secure, our obligation and task in the future is to main- tain that peace through interna- tional goodwill and cooperation.
 Mindful of the sacrifices of thou sands of Americans who gave theil lives in the struggle for victory, we must guard against the possibility that any enemy might attack ui again and plunge us into war.
 There is an unusually patriotic appeal in the call of the Regular Army of the United States for re' cruits to take the places of thost who have served their country witt such distinction and loyalty. Tht call is addressed to every A9mericar between the ages of seventeen anc thirty-four and is part of the pre- gram to keep American borders Se' cure from attack.
 Connecticut men have alWay answered the call to serve theiI country in peace as well as in war Therefore, I designate the perioc from April 8 to 13, as UNTTEI STATES ARMY RECRUITING WEEK, being confident that ou Connecticut men will once agail head the call to duty and enlis in the Army.

NeuU Market Master To Report May 1st
Joseph McGinnis Appointed by Mayor Monagan; New Duties Outlined
 for Position; Office Site Proposed

Joseph McGinniS will offlclally assume his duties as Market Master at the citys Public Markets, Mea- dow Street, on May 1. MT. McGinnis a former associate of the assessors office was appointed to the new post in January by Mayor John S. Mon- agan.
 Revision Of the city ordinance, new construction and repairs to the mar ket site are planned by city author ities for the opening. The land, op- posite Field Street, is owned by the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. and is leased to the city.
 Revision of the ordinance (Chap- ter 38 will be slight, pertaining to only sections 4 and 5. Section 4 now provides that the Market Master keep clean" the market grounds. This wording will be changed 50 as to apply only to the supervision of this duty. Section s now provides that all rentals and monies collected shall be paid daily to the Controller. This will be revised to meet with provi- sions of the City Charter.
 A new office building may be con- structed at the site, to provide office quarters for the Market Master as well as for the marketing specialist, member of the state Department of Agriculture also known as the market reporter. ReSurfacing of the area will be undertaken by the street department new lighting will be installed and repairs made to the fence now surrounding the area.
 Only produce grown on Connecti- cut farms can be offered for sale by the city market. The market also IS under control of the Board of Works which shall establish rules and reg ulations for its operation.
 The market is divided into stalls approximately 10 feet wide by 25 feet long which are assigned to oc- cupants ct a daily rental fee of $50 or @ monthly fee of $l0. The stalls are open for occupancy each week

ord, the landlord also points out that the tenant was fully aware of the condition of the light when she agreed to perform the lighting task,
 The plaintiff claims the light was set in such a way that t was dam gerous to light 1t. It is alleged the tenant fell while trying to pull a light cord, situated over the top stairs.
 The defense claim had been made in original pleadings, but 1t was ruled out after a subsequent demur- Ter was sustained. The high court said 1t could not consider the de- murrer, since the defendant later filed an entiEely new answer instead of second special defense.
 Today's decision was expected to put a close to the pleadings and make the case ready for trial by the assigned day.
 Additional special defenses rec gently made by the City of Water bury to the $25, 900 complaint aris- ing from the flow of Great Brook under Grand Street were ruled out today by Superior Court Judge Francis A. Pallotti.
 The suit was instituted by Eva T Herbst and Celia E. Mascolo, own CTS of a large store and tenement block at the corner of Grand and South Main Streets. They claimed the stream, uncovered on Grand Street, had overhowed and damaged their property.
 The jurist in his brief memorall- dunn pointed out that the specia defenses made last February, were filed without approval or permis' sion of the court. His decision was made on a plaintiffs motion te strike them from the file.
 The city in those defenses, sever in number, charged that predeces' sors in title to the property hat refused to permit covering of th' stream, and that tenants respon' sible for any condition caused by debris in the cellar. Also included in the defense was claim tha the action was warded out by thu statute of limitations.
 The memorandum points out tha the latest defenses were filed whil' the plaintiffs were delaying an an swer to an original defense.

Wyatt in DriUing Seat
 Housing BiH Arouses Charges of Tyranny


 5000 dream cottage. I listened carefully (eXcept when two or more Senators were screaming at once) and talked to some legislative ex- perts who agreed the bill would pass about as written.
 Sen. Alben w. Barkley of Ky spent a solid day explaining the law and arguing with the carpenters who would redeSign it and here (Adv) is where to learn about your new house, without the whereases:
 Wyatt Almost Car
 This MT. Wyatt, Wilson w., Is the expediter, who can do about any thing he wants to get houses built. He can order the O.P.A. to do as he says about the price of bath tubs. If you, for instance, build a house before Dec. 31, 1947, and want to sell 1t, you'll have to ask him to name your selling price. On old houses and on lots, the first sale price after the law passes would be- come the ceiling. If there aren't enough water pipes to make funny noises in all the nations honeymoon cottages, Wyatt can slip the pipe makers part of a $500, 900 fund as 8 reward for speeding up their pipe making.
 Only man in America with as much power as Wyatt, insofar as houses are concerned, is President Truman. The rest of officialdom has got to jump when he says frog" Anybody who tries any nlon- key business goes to the clink for Q year and, or, pays a 5000 fine.
 Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Neb said Wyatt was another tyrant, tell ing the tyrant in charge of O.P.A to do what he should have done all along. Sen. Barkley said that wasn't quite true. There's was an elegant red-faced argument, but 1t doeSn't mean much to home builders. Let's skip 1t and turn to the prosperous G.I.'s (friends of Sen. Claude Pep- per of Fla), who won't live ir $60OO homes.
 "A home is no auto that wears out every couple of years" Sen. Pepper cried. "A man builds 1t and raiseI his family in it and spends his lifC in it and I'd like this law much bet ter if the limit was $25.0OO for eact house."
 Sen. Barkley said Sen. Peppers well-heeled veterans could buy houses already built. "Yes, if they'l pay two prices for 'en," Sen. Pep per retorted.
 It turned out then that if Wyatt decides good enough house can't be built for $6,OO0, he may hoist the price to $10,0O0. The law adds that anybody who buys one can borrow 90 percent of the cost and pay foul percent interest on his loan.
 Signature Expected
 All this, my informants add, is in the bag. You may count on Presi- dent Truman using three pens t6 sQuiggle his signature on so much of the law.
 One other section says that thC Government will provide a guaran. teed market for 100000 prefabric. ated houses. Only they've got to bC the kind of houses the average vet. eran would want to own. So why demands Sen. Homer capehart oi
