corporations which operated the houses
after they were built The government
took a mortgage on the land and on the
buildings and advanced the money for
needed improvements, such as paving,
sidewalks. water mains, etc.
Fleet Corporation officials believe
they can dispose of the properties with
out 10 per cent loss if they are dis
posed of at once. For this reason they
are not enthusiastic over being held up
by the plan of the Housing Corpora
ton, which has the backing of Secre-

EXTENSION MADE
IN FOOD CONTROL

Washington, Aug. 22.-Without
amendment and with practically no
opposition the house late today voted
to amend the Lever food control act
to extend it's provisions to include
clothing, containers of food, feed or
fertilizers, fuel oil and implements
used in production of necessities and
to penalize proftees by $4,000 fine
or two years Imprisonment.
Proposals to make the act apply to
profiteering in house and room rents,
adopted by the house committee Of
the whole, were stricken out in the
final vote.
Efforts were made by both Repub-
licans and Democrats to have the
amendment provisions cover neces-
sites other than those included in
the amendment as reported, by the
agriculture committee. Inclusion of
kerosene and gasoline was proposed
by Representative Strong, Republi-
can, of Kansas, who said the prices
of these products had increased 800
pc rcent. in the last two years, but
his amendment was rejected by
close vote, while that of Representa-
tive Newton, Republican, of Minneso-
ia, to include raw cotton was elimi-
mated on a point of order by Repre-
sentative Blanton Of Texas.
Attempts to bring farmers and
farm organizations within the juris-
diction of the amendment also were
blocked.
Recommendations of Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer to include retailers do
ing a business of less than 100000
under the profiteering section so
that the department of justice might

cfuded in the measure as passed.
