Professor
 Sees Unrest On Housing
By LARRY sHEPLEY

Naugatuck, Jan. Hone or the most pressing problems in the country today is the housing short- age and if immediate steps are not taken to correct this situation, un [. rest is apt to develop among re-. turning servicemen unable to fino living quarters for their families, Sumner s. SlIchter, Harvard Unl- versity professor of economics, said last nignt in the game room of the U. $. Rubber Company.
 At present 100000 families are living doubled up, he claimed, and in another years time 1t will be twice that figure.
 Turning to a discussion of enl- ployment, he gave a figure of 46,- 100000 as the peak employment during the war. Although the claim was made that jobs for 60 million people would be available in the postwar period, 1t was his studied opinion that it would be impossible to keep more than 5l,000,000 gain- fully employed even working on a two and three shift basis and by using all the industrial equip ment and buildings available. Again contrary to opinion expressed in most quarters. he said that mors men than women have left the ia- dustry since V1J Day. He felt ttie opinion of certain government of- ficialS is wrong when they say the jobs are available are undiserable
 As regards prices, his thinking was than a gradual increase ir prices was needed to maintain pro- fits and would be beneficial to everyone. He figured that shortages in non-durabis goods will last for about two years and that demand for automobiles would not be met for another three years.
 Professor Shchter concluded his talk in 8 optimistic view by stating conditions were not as black aS painted. He felt a satisfactory so- lution could be found for all cur rent problems if little more pa- tience and understanding were given to them.
 A question and answer period fol- lower the address.

Returned Oils Urged
To Check Voting Right
In Prince Georges

Returned veterans in Prince
Georges County who voted on alb
sentee ballots in the general
election two years ago are urged to
check with officials of their voting
precinct or with the County Board
of Election Supervisors on or before
June 10, registration day, it was an
nounced today.
Reason for this check, according
to Samuel A. Wyvill, president of
the board, Is to find out whether or
not they are registered and whether
they are properly affiliated Those
who are not will be ineligible to vote
in the Democratic or Republican
primaries on June "a, he declared.
Approximately 1000 absentee bal
lots were cast in the county in 1914,
nearly half of which failed to in
dicate their party affiliation, it was
disclosed. These names are car
ried on the voting books as de
clined" and will be unable to vote
in the primary unless they state
their party affiliation, Mr.. Wyvill
pointed out.
insufficient Information:
In addition, another 1000 absentee
voters could not be registered at all
because OF insufficient information
on the absentee ballot envelope, Mr.
Wyvill said. Some veterans, he
added, may find xheirselves regis
tered in the wrong precinct because
of errors In their addresses.
Veterans may learn their status
at their own voting precinct on
registration day, or at the Office of
the Board of Election Supervisors in
Upper Marlboro until next Saturday,
Mr.. Wyvill reported.
Registration hours on June Is will
be from 9 am. to 8 pm. at the
A voting precincts in the county
and not from 7 am. to Z pm. as
was enormously reported on Tues
day, the board president said. Hours
on election day, however, will be
from am. to pm.
Ruling on Non-Voters.
Non-voters who wish to vote must
have declared their intention to vote
last November in accordance with a
county law, Mr.. Wyvill explained,
except those who became of age
while residents of the county and
who have lived within the county
since that time. The same ruling
applies to veterans, he said.
Meanwhile, tomorrow is the final
day for the Republican party to fill
out its slate for the primary where
candidates are lacking. 1t also is
the final day for Independents to
file for inclusion on the November
ballot next fall.
Two county residents, william E.
Clifton, present register of wills and
former sheriff, and Morris E. Anglin,
publisher Of the Prince Georges
Shopping Guide in Hyattsville, are
expected to file their nomination
papers, which include 500 notarized
signatures OF registered voters each,
for sheriff and the House of Dele
gates, respectively, before the dead
line at midnight tomorrow.
