Beauty Porlor Owners Sued S2,500 Asked by
 Woman Patron for
 Alleged Injuries

Head and neck burns allegedly sustained Aug l, 1945 while she was getting a machineless permanent wave are the basis of s2,500 civil action filed in Common Pleas Court today by Isabelle Ferrari, formerly of Waterbury and now of Beacon Falls. against Samuel H. Greenberg and Victor Leon. doing business as the Leon Institute of Halrdresslng at 73 East Main Street.
 The plaintiff claims the padding, curlers and fluid were negligently and carelessly applied to her head, and that as result the eurlers be- came overheated and the fluid came in contact with her scalp and neck.
 Third degree burns resulted on the left side of the head, the temple region, and the left side of the neck, the complaint states. The plaintiff claims further that an infection resulted and caused swelling of her eyes and nose.
 The burns caused an area of badness on the left side of her head, and the condition will be permanent, causing her humiliation and embarrassment the rest of her life, the plaintiff states.
 It is pointed out in the writ that the permanent was given for a con- sideration and that the plaintiff paid for it.

construction at this time will be completed this year, owing to the shortages of material and the drain of the available material for public housing and for government-spon- sored prefabricated houses. which is getting considerable preference in delivery of material in spite of the fact that on the site custom built housing is less costly in this area by at least 7.7@o and is far superior in construction from every standpoint"
 Futility Pointed Out
 The futillty of the priority sys- tenn for veterans housing as ad- ministered by government agencies was pointed out by the Lumber Dealers Association official, who charged that the diversion of ma terials to build 100000 temporary housing units is tending to make the owner type building material situation even worse.
 Tn spite of the need for mater ial for permanent homes in our community" the statement said, "a condition that is prevalent in almost every other city and town in the country, the Federal Public Hous- ing Authority in Washington has now promulgated special super priority known as an HHH to chan nel lumber and other scarce build ing material into 100000 temporary housing units. About half of this temporary housing is proposed for educational institutions and the other half for local governments which are supposed to be converted from Army and Navy facilities.
 "The diversion of the scarce ma terial to do the job is scheduled as must for 1946. According to the MeadLanham Act these temporary housing units must be finished this year and, according to that same act, they must be torn down within specified time. In other words, they will not become a part of fut- ure housing but waste of good material and money that could be put into permanent housing units.
 Typical Shortage Cited
 A survey taken in the Bridgeport /, area, which it was stated, applies equally in this and other areas of Connecticut, showed that 305 houses now under construction cannot be completed because of a shortage of material of one kind or another, and these items are in short supply and the following quantities are needed and cannot be obtained ; 2.655 windows, 3,462 interior and eX- terior doors, 7,767 sides of trim for windows and doors. 159 flight of stairs, 1915 frames for windows and doors, l7,487 lineal feet of wooden gutter. 87,910 feet of siding, l,l03 squares of wood enough to cover 100 square feet equals one square, 291 AT feet of finished flooring. 666 kegs of nails. 479,112 square feet of gypsum lath, 76,800 feet lineal feet of base board 76, 500 feet of quarter round moulding 81 500 lineal feet of 2 or B base boulding. 67.569 feet of other mould ings for interiors and 63l65 feet of extreior mouldings, 2,520 sets of interior door iambs and stops, -2C exterior entrance frames and 2,38l sets of window balances.

Young Driuer Fined On Euasion Charge
 Judge Rules Action in Report Accident Later Failed To Comply with Law;
 Remits Part of Penalty

Driving away from the scene Of an accident even though one re- ports to police later the same day is a violation of the statute con- corning evading responsibility, Judge Charles R. Summa declared today following City Court trial of James Christian, 20, of Lilac Ave- nue, Oakville
 Christian was found guilty ot evading responsibility in an accl- dent near Scotty's Dog House on Thomaston Avenue June IA, and was fined $50 of which S20 was re- mitted The youth was also fined $15 on a reckless driving charge.
 Norman Davis of Torrington tes- tified that the car he was driving about 11:30 P M on the night in question, was considerably dam aged when another car crashed in- to his near Scotty's. He said the impact made him lose temporary control of the vehicle which zig ragged across the street.
 Search for Driver
 When he finally brought the car to a stop and stepped to the road, he said, he shouted to the driver of the other car. but the driver failed to stop He said he finally got his car in condition to operate and met State Trooper John SWicklas in ThomaSton. The two, in the troopers car, then drove around the countryside in an effort to locate the driver of the other car.
 Meanwhile Christian. according to his own testimony, had received laceration of the forehead and had driven, in a dazed condition, to his home, cutting of at Frost Bridge. He said he dropped of a hiteh-hiker there whom he had picked up in Waterbury as he re- turned from a boxing match at Municipal Stadium.
 He said he went to his home where his uncle aided him in bandaging his wound. The two then drove to the scene of the ac- cident. No one. they said, was able to tell them of an accident when they inquired at Scotty's. They then went to a Waterville tavern and asked if there had been a re- port of an accident there, but were informed that no one knew of it.
 Sent to Hospital
 The youth testified that he and his uncle then reported at Water bury Police Headquarters, and were advised by Desk Sgt. Ashton to go to Waterbury Hospital to have the head wound tkaen care of. Chris tlan went to the hospital, he said, and later that day was contacted by Trooper Swicklas to whom he admitted that he was involved in the accident
 Christian, an ex-Navy man, in his plea for discharge, said that he was confused and dazed by the head wound taken care of. Chris

Deposits ByCity Reach $6,oo0,0o0
 Less Than Million of
 Anticipated Revenue
 To Be Realized

The City of Waterbury showed departmental deposits of almost $6,OO0,O0O for the first six months of 1946, according to a tabulation of the same made by The Demo- crat today The actual figures up to June 30, 1946, were $5,937 1885 .82, representing all daily deposits made by the various departments up to that date in accordance with pro- visions of the city charter.
 Expenditures during the same period, according to the recent trial balance announced by City Control Ter c. F. Maloney, were S3,496, ,829 .l2, while encumbrances as of June 30 were S158,649.26.
 In comparison to figures set up in the 1946 budget the deposits shown above total less than $1 ,000,00 of the anticipated means fo financing, which equal the amount of the ap- nropriations - $6,872y519.75. This would indicate that in the last six months of the year the city had to collect less than S1,000,000 in order to meet the budgeted appropriations for 1946 As under city charter to- tai appropriations cannot be in- creased without levying special tax to meet the same, it would seem as if the city might anticipate over collection of revenues, for 1946 which would be in line with what has happened in Waterbury in the last four or five years.
 A refume of deposits shows jam uary with S131 ,O35.35; February S182, .78! March, S170,771.12; Aprl $73e, ,615,90: May, S3,682,91253; anc June, s1 1,031 ,68s IA The April, May and June receipts reflect the heavy payments of taxes during the tax due period. Customarily tax receipts show an increase in October, wher the second installment is due, bu' in view of the extremely heavy pay ments at the time the first ln- stallment became due, it is not like ly that they will run as high thls | wear

Labor Protest in Poughkeepsie Forces Suspension Here; Local Workers Idle For Three Months, Not Unionized

Closing down of the Waterbury Steel Ball Company, due to a strike at the Federal Bearings Company in Poughkeepsie, N. Y, has been at tributed as factor in the current shortage of automobile parts at the Ford Motor Company plants.

 Henry Ford II, president of the Ford Company, yesterday requested the C.I.O., Auto Workers Union to further efforts to terminate strikes at Is companies which supply the automobile industry. He named the Poughkeepsie firm as one of them.
