bury will be given 200 units as originally planned. It had been an- nounced that the city's quota would be cut 48. To protest this reduc- ton Mayor Monagan, Lester E. Young, chairman of the Waterbury Housing Authority, and John Cian- ci, executive director of the WHA, flew to Boston yesterday and con- ferred with MT Wiley.
 It is the contention of the Federal officials that since 200 units were allocated to Waterbury the cost of materials and actual construction have risen beyond expectations and that deficit of some $140,000 would be incurred.
 Mayor Monagan has expressed grave doubts that Waterbury could conveniently raise $70,00O as part of financial arrangement in which the State of Connecticut would sup ply the remaining $70,0O0. Gov ernor Raymond E. Baldwin has been formally approached with this proposition.
 Mayor Monagan stated this morn ing in describing his visit to Bos- ton that the work would be rushed, but it will be several days yet be- fore he will receive any assurance, if then, that the full quota will be given by the government. The City of Waterbury has spent thousands of dollars preparing the site with the result that current appropria- tions have been exhausted.

'Dreomboot' Streoks By North Pole
 B-29 Is Nearing
 Halfway Mark
 In Test FIiqht

Ottawa, Oct. 5-(UP)-The Pa cusan Dreamboat streaked past the magnetic North Pole early today and headed for Pond inlet on the east ern tip of Baffin land, the 4,715- mile point on it's i0,300mile non- stop flight from Honolulu to Cairo
 In the first IT hours of it's flight, the plane averaged 253 miles an hour and it's speed was increasing as it's 13,000-gallon load of gasoline decreased.
 The Dreamboat was flying at -5,- 900 feet altitude and a radio report pickup at 4.45 A. M said the crew was watching a spectacular Aurora .Rorealis," indicating that the plane was flying in clear weather.
 Everything okay," said the terse report.
 Previously the Dreamboat was be- lieved heading into a binding Arctic snowstorm, but a radio station on Arctic Bay, Baffin land, said the plone was skirting north to avoid the storm area.
 The planes course was approxi- mately 100 miles north of the mag netic pole. The 10man crew was encased in heavy, electrically heat ed flying suits and battling temper aturs of r degrees below zero.
 Ahead stretched the bleak ice f1oes of Baffn Bay before the plane reaches the west coast of Green. land, the last big hope across lanc before the ship reaches Europe.
 The most hazardous part of tre s, ,O00, 900 experimental flight was believed over but U. s. Army, Coast Guard and Navy radio stations ir Greenland, labrador and Newfound- land were on the alert for any re- port from the big ship as it headed east for Reykyavik, iceland, where il | is due at noon, EST.
 Eskimos throughout the wastes ot the frozen north also had been alerted to watch for the Dreemboat They had been trained into primi- tive wartime plane spotting corps ot the Royal Canadian Mounted Police However, officials said their principle value would be in locating the plane in case of a trash.
 If the plane reaches Reykjavik Iceland, at noon EST. today, il will be approximately three hours ahead of schedole. Reykavik is the halfway point on the flight and il it's rate of speed is maintained, il should be in Cairo at noon Sunday However, as its gasoline load light ened, the plane was expected to in. crease it's speed.
 The flight is the Army's $3,OOO, ,O0( experiment to test polar flying con. ditions. It originally had been plan. ned to set a new nonstop record but the Navy's truculent Turtle die that last week when it flew 11,23t miles from Perth, Australia, to Go. lumbus, O. However, if the Dream. boats gasoline holds out, it wa! expected to try to extend it's f1gh pas Carlo as far as possible.
 The planes route is across Lon don, France, Foggia, Italy, ther across the Mediterranean to Cairo avoiding Yugoslavia and Trieste.
 When it took off the plane carriec 25 copies of the Honolulu Advistise, with front page greetings to Kins Earouk of Egypt. |,

Boost In Pig Crop
 Formers Asked
 For 58,OOO,OOO

Washington, Oct. 5-CUP)-The Agriculture Department urged the nations farmers today to produce 58,00O,OOO pigs next Spring as in- surance against another meat shortage next year.
 The Spring goal is approximately 13 percent larger than last Springs actual production of 52,404, ,00O pigs, but the Agriculture. Department emphasized that the crop would not be reflected in larger pork and lard supplies before the last three months of-1947.
 At the same time, Sen. James M. Mead, (D.-N. Y.), called for a Congressional investigation to de- termine if present meat regulations were giving chain stores an advan- tage over small independent re- tailerS.
 There is a serious question in my mind whether a conspiracy eX- ists on the part of big business to prevent meat from reaching the small independent stores" he told the Senate Small Business Com mittee.
 In announcing the new Spring pig goals, the Agriculture Depart ment also established new pig sup port prices for the year ending Oct. l, 1947. But with demand for meat as strong as it is, it added there is little chance hog prices will fall that low even without gov ernment buying.
 Pit support prices for the com ing year were set at an average of $14.25 hundred, Chicago basis compared with the present ceiling of $16.25 and a support level of SIS. The seasonal variation ranges from $12.75 in December to $1575 in September.

Ferriss, who went through Juneau several days ago
 No definite climbing schedule has been worked out, Miller indicat- ed here in an interview yesterday Much will depend on the time re- quired for the many observations to be made at various attitudes and weather will have its effect upon the rapidity with which they can be accomplished. However, August 31 has been set as the day on which the party expects to be back in Juneau - the top of the mountain behind it.
 Although planes will do a large part of the work by keeping the camps supplied, heavy loads will still have to be toted by the eight climbers; composed mainly of in- struments and other scientific equipment. There will be no iron Ledsteads" or other luxury camp fittings such as the Duke of Abruz- zi and his hundred porters took along.
 To Study Glaciers Here
 Following the return to Juneau in the fall, Miller and some of the others of the group will devote about two weeks to conducting gla- cier studies here for the American Geographic Society, the Harvard Mountaineers and the U. s. Forest Service. The three agencies are cooperating in keeping check on advance and recession of ice bodies around Juneau and south to Peters burg; making observations at five year intervals First observations were taken in 1886 and the glaciers were checked again in 1941.
 Miller was with the party under William Osgood Field that made the last observations in 1941, and Le will continue the studies this fall.
 Much of the experimental work to be done by the expedition to St. Elias, especially for the Army, is of confidential nature. For that reason, the undertaking has been shielded from publicity until now, when Alaska's second-tallest noun tain is almost in view.
