last year by again accounting for
more than half the total new private
construction in the Nation, accord

the Commerce Department.
Private residential building, con-

Combining Materials

To combine different materials
successfully on the exterior of a
small house requires considers BILE
skill on the part of the designer.
Since simplicity in design tends to
increase the apparent size of a
house, avoid using too many differ
ent materials which contrast in color
and texture and break up the ex-
terror into small units. BY the use
of single color different materials
can be used to provide variety,

Mr.. Guggenheim was born in
Philadelphia December 30 1867, the
sixth of seven sons Of Meyer and

and to that country his sons were
sent to finish their educations.

abroad, in 1888 joined his father and

He removed to Denver in 1892 and
became interested in politics. In
1896 he was nominated for Lieu

reached the constitutional age for
the Office, withdrew from the ticket.
He was a Republican presidential
elector in 1904 and two years later

He was married November "a,

Any reorganization, according to
Commissioner Mason, would be in
the direction of placing the respon-

Commissioner Young admitted
that in the informal discussions the
city heads do not have "the full
answer but declared the traffic
administration is a big engineer

is necessary.

Reuben james, Loss Of Life
Nay Be kovy's Greatest
In Action in 43 Years
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Hope ebbed slowly for the unre-
ported crew members of the U. S. S.
Reuben James, some 70 or more
men-potentially the greatest num-
ber lost by O. regular Navy ship
through belligerent action since the
battleship Maine was blown up in
1898.
Throughout the long week end
the word from the naval commu-
nications nerve center here was:
mo news No news" and off,
GERS patiently explained that any
further tidings would be released
Immediately to relieve the anxiety
of Navy wives and families through
out the country.
Pending receipts of report list
ing the A crew members known to
have been saved when the destroyer
was sunk Thursday night. the Navy
stood on it's refusal to make public
the names of the enlisted men OH
board or the total crew strength.
Other Losses Recalled.
However. inasmuch as the ships
normal complement would be 100.
unofficial estimates placed the num-
ber of men unaccounted for at q.
If all have been lost. it would be
the heaviest casualty list on a regu-
lar combat ship through belligerent
action since 260 died when the
Maine went down in Havana harbor.
Since 1898 the Navy has lost only
five regular fighting ships through
hostile action or war operations.
The destroyer Jacob Jones, torpe-
doed in 1917, had the heaviest loss
of life-64 men. Another destroyer,
the Chauncey, had % killed in a
World War collision A collision
also sent the submarine FL to the
bottom in 1917 with a loss of 10
men. The fourth World War loss
was the cruiser San Diego, which
was sunk by mine of Fire Island,
with the loss Of five men. The only
loss since then was the gunboat
Panay, bombed and machine gunned
by Japanese planes III China in 1887,
when two were killed During the
four decades auxiliaries and non-
combatant units have sustained
numerically greater losses.
When last night passed without
additional reports or the casualties

U. S. S. Kearny, badly damaged by
a torpedo attack on October II, was
able to supplement her initial re-
port of the action py radioing a list

more than 70 hours had passes with
out further word from the Reuben
James.
Report Might Be Delayed.
Since the Reuben James was trav-
cling in convoy, there were chances
that survivors might have been
picked up by merchantmen who.
preserving radio silence, would not
report until they made harbor.

Newly Trained Pilots
Blamed for Increase
In Airp|ane Accident,
War Department Points
Out, However, Thot
Mileage Hos Multiplied
BIZ the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
A slight increase in the accident
rate of newly-trained flyers was re-
ported today by the War Depart
ment, but it said that for military
flying as a whole, including train
ing, the rate of accidents per mile
flown remained substantially un-
changed over recent years.
About two-score Army flyers have
met death in the last two weeks.
The War Department disclosed no
Official figures. but noted that the
number of miles flown was increas-
ing in almost astronomical propor-
tions" as the air forces expand.
The single increase in the rate
Of accidents was ascribed to pilots
who have gone into combat squad
rons fresh from the flying schools. :"
This increased rate actually has
been lower than the rate which was
expected in view of the fact that
pilots with approximately 200 hours
Of flying experience are going into
the cockpits of fast, high-perform-
ance warplanes," the department
said
This slightly increased accident
rate is expected to continue above
the pre-emergency normal until the
experience level of the new pilots
rises and they. as a body, increase
their flying time and all-around ex-
perience."
For the older pilots. the accident
rate was said to have improved and
to be now below the "pre-emer-
gency" 1879 level.
Army flight operations now are
on an emergency status wrich rep
resents something between peace
time flying and wartime flying" the
War Department said.
Safety. while still stressed as of
major importance in connection
with all types of operations, must
become secondary to the carrying
out of missions which are essential
to the realistic training of combat
pilots.
In other words, while flying
personnel must be conserved, pilots
and flying crew members must be
trained increasingly in the exc
cution of military missions and the
use of high-speed modern equip
ment under emergency conditions.
The intensified training program
now being geared up to produce
10000 pilots a year. has increased
congestion around airports, it was
noted. Pilots. too, are progressing
more rapidly from training type
airplanes to the high-speed mod
ern tactical craft ranging from
400-mile-an-hour pursuits to null
tiengine bombers.
