Panic Is Air Raiders S Goal i,
Defense Expert Says
BY the Annotated Press,

oy tne ASSOCl3teo fEeeb.
NEWARK. N. j., May 4.-The
chief objective Of the wartime air
raider is panic. Not annihilation.
DR.. o. J. Pollak of Boston, former
instructor in air-raid precautions
at the University OF Prague. told
the New Jersey Osteopathic Society
today.
Bombs alone could not produce
the havoc of civilian hysteria, DR..
Pollak said as he explained it would
take about 1000 tons of bombs con-
tanning one of the deadliest Of gases
to affect an area Of go square miles.
A strong military air force. anti
aircraft units. strong air-raid pre-
caution and complete equipment and
education OF every citizen were de-
scribed by DR.. Pollak as the means
by which catastrophe could be
averted.
The World War showed the ef-
fectiveness Of precautionary work,
DR.. Pollak said. adding the early
use of gas caused losses of IS per
cent, but "at the wars end, when
protection methods were understood,
the losses were only 2 per cent. de-
spite the use of far more dangerous
chemicals"

Overall Home Costs
Reduced 10 $4,456,
u. 5. H. A. Reports
Figure Is II Per Cent
Lower Than Private
Projects, OfficiuIs Soy

Average overall costs Of complete
family homes have been driven
down to $4.456 in the first 1913 low
rent housing projects constructed
with loans from the United States
Housing Authority, it was an
nounced yesterday.
This is about IL per cent less than
the $5,071 average total cost of like
dwellings in 240 large-scale rental
developments erected by private in
dustry on much the same basis.
The overall cost, officials ex-
planned, includes total charges for
lard and constructing the house !.
costs Of non-dwelling facilities such
as Fairgrounds and recreational
rooms within the project, admin
1strative expenses, equipment, carry
ing charges and architects fees. In
projects erected on slum sites, how
ever, the overall cost does not in
clude the cost of the demolition.
The average net construction cost
Of the same houses cited by the U. 8.
H. A. has reached new low of
S2796, which is about 20 per cent
less than the $3,44a average for
private building as shown by the
United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The net cost includes the
actual construction, with charges
for plumbing, heating and electrical
equipment.
Commenting on the low costs
being attained. Administrator Ma
than Straus said the U. S. H. A.
program has more than lived up to
the requirement of the United
States Housing Act that the net
construction cost be no greater than
the average construction cost of
dwelling units currently produced
by private enterprise. But our
object entails even more. 1t is to
provide safe and sanitary homes for
1ow-income families at rentals
within their means and at the lowest
possible cost to the taxpayer"
The average shelter rental (minus
utilities) in the first II projects for
which rents have been approved is
1888 a month. Mr.. Straus claimed
this is about 81 so q month less than
the median shelter rent for sub
standard housing in the same locali-
ties.

Ruling in Two Weeks
On TeIevision Case
Indicated byF.C.C.
EorIy Decision Planned
On Limited Commercial
Programs This Yeor
By WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY,

ny "AAAAANV D. VHEh i LEI
The Federal Communications
Commission will decide within two
weeks whether limited commercial
ization Of television will be per-
mitted this year, Chairman James
L. Fly indicated yesterday.
The F. G. c. recently suspended
temporarily its previous ruling that
limited commercialization might be
started September i. Chairman Fly
said he had cut short his vacation
in order to study records and briefs
and had urged the other commits
sioners to do likewise in an effort
to reach prompt decision.
New Hearings Held.
Following its suspension action,
prompted by television advertising
campaign Of Radio Corp. Of Ameri-
ca, the commission held new hear
ings on television problems. Mr..
Fly pointed out that dates for the
filing Of briefs in connection with
the hearing had only expired on
Friday and that there has not been
a quorum Of the commission in town
since shortly after the hearing ended.
The commission also faces the
problem Of selecting a general coun-
sci and assistant general counsel
to succeed William j. Dempsey and
William C.. Koplovitz, respectively,
who recently resigned and asked to
be relieved as soon as possible.
Chairman Fly said he expected to
make a recommendation to the
commission when it meets Tuesday.
However, he said he had asked the
two attorneys to remain with the
commission for while after their
successors take Office. 1t is expected,
however. chat the television ques-
ton will be disposed Of before the
present attorneys leave.
Engineers In Disagreement.
Mr.. Fly said he was not certain
what trend television should take
at this stage. He added that the
ticket would be written by the
television engineers, who, he said,
were apparently in disagreement on
certain phases Of transmission.
He explained that the commission
must be careful in fixing standards
for the promotion of television, but
he added that effort would be made
to get the basic standards set soon.
The basic desire. he said, was to get
every television transmitter to serve
every receiver on the market, and
thus bring about a healthy type Of
competition in the industry.
