Legion Ends Worwith VA

 He said the Legion will 'let by- zones be bygones" and discontinue the running battle carried on against Bradley by former Com mander John Stelle.
 T think General Bradley has made an honest effort as VA. sd- ministrator," Griffith told press conference. But, I am sure he will not be satisfied, and we will not be satisfied, until every disabled veteran in the country has adequate hospital care. This hasn't been done yet"
 Griffith also said the Legion will press for elimination of present wage ceilings for on-the-job train ing.
 we want these ceilings elim- mated and we want the VA. to police the program to guard against any veteran taking advantage of it." he said.
 He said he expected to call on Bradley and President Truman later this week He said the meet ings would be merely to "get &C., quainted."

 $52,O00 for
 Veterans Homes
Veterans Homes

The Board of Aldermen is Sched uled to approve Mayor John S. Monagan's proposal that $52,O00 be allotted as the City's share of costs for erecting 48 additional housing units, at it's special meeting tonight at the City Hall, at g.
 The Board reOently appointed a special committee to consult with the Mayor and his Advisory Com mittee at which time the proposal was given unofficial approval. Since then the Board of Finance has ap- proved the measure. Members of the special committee who will re- port to the full Board tonight are; Majority Leader James M. Lynch and Minority Leader Richard D.. Bensen; Martin j. Tehan, Edward J Rafferty and Anthony Petrillo.
 Of the sum of $52,OO0, the city actually needs only $22,00O. How ever, since the Mayor had to match a grant of $52,000 from the state, with a similar amount, the item had to be made available at once The mayor said that he has written to Hartford asking for the sum of $52,000 to cover $104,000 due the Federal Government for the addi- tional 48 housing units.
 The 48 units were to be slashed from the original 200 unit program here under orders of the Federal Public Housing Authority. As re- suit of this action the Mayor and Lester P. Young, chairman of the Waterbury Housing Authority, and John Cianci, it's executive director, met with FPHA representatives and agreed to pay the city's cost.
 The project, site of which is at the Hamilton Heights area is far from complete due to lack of ma terials Only one unit has been par italy erected because government contractors are unable to secure materials despite high priorities.
