Of this total 229 have expressed willingness to accept housing in federal projects.

 The Mayor also announced that Renato Spadola, former captain wounded in action, member of the committee has joined the Veterans Administration out of town. He was replaced on the local commit tee by Vincent Stankus, Navy vet eran recently released for inactive duty with rank of lieutenant.

Special Downtown Schedule Assigned Truck Drivers

Several changes in the local downtown traffic set up, voted upon and approved by the Board of Po- lice Commissioners at meeting two weeks ago, will go into effect Monday, 1t was revealed today by Police Superintendent William J.. Roach.
 Following survey by Superin- teildent Roach, the following plans, drawn up by It. Patrick J. Foley, will be instituted Monday:
 A no parking ban will be in effect between the hour of 5 and 6 p. m. daily except Sunday in the following areas: East Main Street, north, from Exchange Place to Brown Street; East Main Street, south, from Exchange Place to School Street; East Milan Street, south, from North Elm to Mill Street; East Main Street, south, from Hamilton Avenue to Rutledge Street; North Main Street, west, from Exchange Place to Savings Street.
 Superintendent Roach explained there will be no parking of any kind in these areas during this hour including trucks seeking to make deliveries. In order to assist in making deliveries, he said, the following schedule will go into ef- feet for truck drivers;
 Only commercial vehicles will be allowed to park in the following areas from 2 to II. a. m. daily ex- cept Sunday: East Main Street, south, from Exchange Place to Brook Street, and East Main Strett. north, from Phoenix Avenue to McElligott's Gasoline Station. In the area on NW'th Main Street, east, from East Main Street to Monroe Place, the same stipulation as to parking will be in effect eX- cept that the time will be extended from 2 a. m. to noon.
 Superintendent Roach said fur ther investigation by the police de- partment is underway in order to ascertain if additional no parking bans will be necessary to assure business establishments of deliv- cries.
 Also to go into effect Monday is a new parking area allotted to bus seS travelling in a westerly direction from Exchange Place and making left turn at Leavenworth Street. These busses Highland Avenue and Middlebury, will, starting Monday, be required to load and unload pas sengers at the extreme east end of the Green, the Superintendent said. Signs will be installed, he said, to inform passengers of the change here.
 The bus stop change, 1t was re- vealed, was necessary because of traffic becoming congested when these vehicles take the sharp left turn into Leavenworth Street, therefore causing not only a tieup, but constituting a source of pos sible danger.
 Thre other changes were also re- vealed: Between the hour of 5 and 6 D. m. westbound traffic on East Main Street will no longer be able to take a left turn into Brook Street; Judd Street, going south, will be a one-way street, and Spring Street, going north will be one- way street.
 Superintendent Roach warned all motorists that violation of these new changes will not be tolerated. We are attempting to assist the motorist, the business man and the pedestrian" he said, "and in order to do so 1t is necessary to enforce the laws rigidly."

tended and intensified. This Is re-
vealed first OF all in the increased

in the renewed emphasis on the

BY the American Jewish Committee.
The facts on the debit side OF the
Jewish educational inventory for
the review year, point to the great
shortage of qualified teachers and
principals for the Jewish schools.
This shortage worked blight on
existing and proposed educational
programs in many cities. Coupled
with this shortage, and exerting a
esimilar influence, especially in the
smaller towns, is the inadequate,
