The sluggish rate at which vel eran's housing relief has been pro- gressing was indicated again today when Sumner K. Wiley. Boston re- gional director of the Federal Pub lie Housing Authority disclosed that 200 Army barracks-type buildings would be shipped to Waterbury but no: before late summer.
 The barracks will be dismantled at Bradley Field, Windsor Locks, shipped to this city and re-sectioned into apartments for veterans and their families. Approximately 200 veterans of aWterbury have ex- pressed critical need for dwellings for their families while an addi- rional 150 or more seek living con- iitions.
 MT. Wiley, who previously dis closed that Army and Navy author ities have been reluctant to release surplus barracks because of the in- decision as to armed forces needs. said today that he was hopeful that the Bradley Field buildings would be constructed in Waterbury and occupied by the end of sum- mer"
 Lester E. Young chairman of Wa terbury's Housing Authority said today that the local commission would soon lease from the federal government the three housing pro- jectS established here during the war; Warner Gardens, Hamilton Heights and the Porter tract. Dis cussion of the plan has been under way and the contract may be ef- fected within two weeks, the chair man said.
 Purpose of the city in seeking au- thority by lease is threefold: to as- sure disposition of the temporary dwellings after the housing need has ended; to provide local control over them; to utilize them, if ne- cessary, as part of the city's post war slum clearance plan.
 Mayor John s. Monagan disclosed that the city has received it's copy of the FPHA contract for the bar racks-type buildings which will be established as part of the Hamilton Heights project. The city has al- ready appropriated funds for grad ing, laying of sewers etc., at the site

Innocent Enjoys French Meal of Buttered Radishes

flower salesmen were every few feet. The youngsters were lining up to ride on two-man-powered merry go-round, and up and down the walks trudged the donkeys with the pinkest checked children I ever saw. A donkey ride casts two francs.
 Only one donkey refused to budge another inch. Light a fire under him? Un grand chagrin!
 Pleasant Anyhow
 The donkey motorman pondered the problem at length. Then he re- trieved bouquet of lilies, gave his beast a sniff, and since it was a French donkey influenced by per- fume, it went back to work. The by islanders cheered, the donkey smirk- ed, and this understand is part of the joie de vivre
 It is pleasant, anyhow, when the sun is warm and you gre full of but tered radishes.
