criticises Report.

ION July 80, 1919. a unanimous re-
port was submitted to the House Of
Representatives by the committee on
public buildings and grounds which
attracted wide attention. This report,
by innuendo and deliberate distortion
of superficial facts publicly discredit-
ed every faithful man and woman in
the service Of the United States Hous-
ing Corporation. It is an affront to
the communities from which they
come. It is violation Of the first
principles Of elemental justice. It is
an insufferable Islander in the public
records and it cannot be allowed to
pass unchallenged. We are, there
fore, under the necessity Of reques-
ting. and have today requested. an
immediate hearing before the Senate
committee appointed to Investigate
the record of this corporation. We
have demanded our day in court and
we shall expect either proof or re-
traction Of the calumnious assertion
you have 90 freely made at our ex-
pense."

Places Cost at $4,000, 600.

How well the corporation has con-
served the funds intrusted to it is
now a matter Of public record. OF
the $100,000.000 appropriated to its
use by Congress It will return over
$73.000,000 and charge OF less than
$27.000,000 to cover transportation
and other services provided many
communities during the war and the
losses incident to the cancellation Of
contracts making up 20 per cent of
its program.
"The United States Housing Corpo-
ration is a wartime organisation. It
was created under the stress Of an
emergency and It worked under pres
sure. It made mistakes, which read
lily can be seen at this time, but could
not be foreseen year ago. Much
that 1t has done might have been done
better. It has no apologies to make,
however, for its accomplishments, and
the men and women comprising it's
personnel have pride in it's achieve
ments. It's honor. therefore, is close
to their hearts. and it shall not be be-
smirched without cause.

AYERS COMMITTEE
DISTORTED 70 FACTS
Mi. Macomber Denounces
House Body's Report on
Housing Corporation.
DEMANDS QUICK HEARING

Charging that the House public
buildings and grounds committee
distorted facts in its recent report
on the work of the United States
Housing Corporation, Irving e. Ma
comber, vice president of the corpo-
ration, has written a reply to Rep
resentative John W. Langley. chair
man Of the House committee.
Mr.. Macomber tells Representative
Langley that the unanimous report
which the committee submitted to
the House July 80 "by innuendo and
deliberate distortion of superficial
facts publicly discredited every faith
full man and woman in the service
Of the United States Housing Corpo-
ration" Is
Mr.. Macomber's Letter.
Mr.. Macomber informs Representa-
tive Langley that the corporation has
requested an immediate hearing be-
fore the Senate committee appointed
to investigate the record of the hous-
ing bureau. The letter follows:
THE United States Housing Cor
poration is a wartime organization.
1t came into being hardly a year ago.
when it seemed that the German drive
on the channel ports could hardly be
successfully resisted. and when en-
lightened opinion placed the duration
OF the war at five years.
THE task which the corporation
undertook was laid out for it by other
branches Of the federal government
by the Army. by the Navy and by
various bureaus erected to meet the
needs of the hour. The money appro-
priated to its use by Congress was not
made available until late in July, 1918,
yet by the time the armistice was
signed. in November, work was well
advanced on ninety-seven projects,
scattered throughout the entire
United States.

Mr.. Campbell Says Wash

Profit on Single Barrel.

MISS EMILY /. BARNUM

Chairman Campbell of the House
rules committee, during hearing on
high prices for necessities yesterday
stated that a Washington dealer
bought barrel Of potatoes last week
for $3.50 and within an hour sold the
potatoes for $20.45.
Representative Igoe. democrat, of
Missouri, in urging his resolution to
have the Federal Trade Commission
authorized to investigate the cost of
shoes said that prices of shoes had
increased from IS per cent to 125 per
cent in the last three months, as COM
pared with the prices Of the last ten
years."
He also read a statement Of the Ma
tional Boot and Shoe Manufacturing
Association, issued July 81, at Boston,
which said shoes to be sold next
spring Of 1920, must bring still higher
prices based on the present estab-
lished prices of leather and labor.
Net Leather Earnings.
Mr.. Igoe presented a statement
which placed net earnings of the
Central Leather Company for the
S45. and told the committee this was
an Increase Of more than 100 per cent
over the preceding quarter and a
gain OF 80 per cent over the cores
ponding period Of 1918.
In support Of another resolution Mr..
1goe asked that the rules committee
bring to the Houses attention his
proposed inquiry Of whether dealers
were recouping their war taxes by
advancing costs. He said q Baltimore
man owning or controlling 400 apart
ments was advertising that his ten
ants must sign an aRreement to nav
increases sufficient to meet his higher
taxes

obviously, the success with which
the corporation could withdraw from
its many engagements depended al
most entirely upon the personal
knowledge Of the men and women
in charge Of many Of its divisions,
and the great problem Of the officers
and directors Of the corporation was
to hold them long enough to fully
protect the interests of the govern
ment in the vast sums that were ut

personnel was, however. reduced, un-
til at the present time the corporation
has on its rolls fewer than 20 per-
sons in Washington and 165 in its
various projects throughout the coun-

Calls Personnel Unusual.

'The exigencies of the situation
seemed to demand that production be
undertaken on q vast scale, and men
and women experienced in the many
phases Of good housing were enlisted
In the service from every part of the
country. The personnel Of the cor
poration was, therefore, unusual and
OF recognized distinction in many
nelds. These men and women came
to Washington or accepted outside
appointments In order to help win the
war. They did not come to WASH
ington to secure jobs.
AT the time Of the signing OF the
armistice the corporation was in what
Is known in technical language as
quantity production: its investigations
had been completed. its policies had
been formulated, its plans and specifi-
cations had been developed. and its con-
tracts largely let Upon the cessation
OF hostilities 1t took immediate steps to
conserve Its funds, and as rapidly as
possible it abandoned those projects
that had little II any peace-time value.
Work was stopped on some seventy
projects. 1t was continued on twenty
seven projects only because It was
apparent that q greater salvage value
could be secured by carrying them to
completion than by abandoning them.
