 The young orators from St. Jo- seph's c. Y. O. will argue that the cops and fire-fighters are not in- dispensable and should take their place in the ranks of the tnducted servicemen. To exempt either would be creating a class distinction, etc.

Housing Report
Industry Fighting
For Its Share Of
Home Program
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Details of surveys conducted by
the Defense Housing Coordination
Office to determine the housing
needs in Washington and other de-
fense areas will be released early
next week, it was learned today.
Meanwhile. building leaders from all
over the country are here to fight
for major portion of defense home
building for private industry.
Findings of surveys conducted by
Housing Co-ordinator Charles F.
Palmer are expected to show not
only the amounts of housing needed
in defense areas but also how much
of it is to be supplied by Govern
ment subsidy and the number Of
units defense officials expect or will
allow private builders to supply.
Builders are fearful the Govern
ment will take away from them all
but a small share of defense hous-
ing. Such action, it is pointed out,
coming on top of the recent o. P.
M. order drastically curtailing civ
ilian home building, would COM
pletely wipe out the private building
industry for the duration of the
emergency.
Agency Expanded.
Committee members appointed BY
the Home Builders Institute of
America at last weeks national real
estate convention in Detroit to set
up an agency in Washington to
represent the industry and to in
vestigate the alleged shortage of
building materials have been meet

committee, which has been expand

Structures Worthy
OF Award Found
In Policy Change

Recognizing the great need for
defense housing here, The Star to-
morrow will present to the public
under its Silver Star Home plan
two low-cost houses of different
types. The dwellings are located
at 4233 and 4235 Seventy first ave-
nue., Lendover Hills, Prince
Georges County, Md.
Although it meant a change of
Silver Star policy, the committee of
building experts who select presen-
tations under the plan suggested
that both houses be presented in
view of the unusual interest in low
cost building. One of the houses
Is bungalow Of Cape Cod type, the
other a two-story structure Both
were held worthy of receiving The
Stars award.
Motorists may reach the homes by
driving out Bladensburg road NE
past the District line to the Peace
Cross. Turn right on the Defense
highway and continue 212 miles to
Landover Hills Then turn right on
Seventy-first avenue to the prop
critics.
Homes Of Colonial Type.
Landover Hills is a well-planned
community which now has 2l0 small
homes. When completed it will be
a sizable town in itself of 500
homes. The houses were built by
Meadowbrook Inc, of which Monroe
Warren is president. This firm
built more houses last year than
any other in the entire country
The designer is Robert o. Scholz.
Both of The Stars houses have been
completely decorated and furnished
by Palais Royal. under supervision
Of Verda w. Woods. Furnishings
were selected to fit the income of
purchaser of loW-cost home.
The houses are Colonial in type.
Both are built of clapboard and
topped with roofs of 2lO-pound
slate-surfaced felt. Structural fea-
lures of the houses are identical.
They have poured concrete footings
and basement walls. Floors are of
white oak. Both have full base
ments and heat is supplied by oil
burning, conditioned air furnaces.
Wallpaper is used in all rooms ex-

which are painted. The kitchens
have gas ranges and plenty of
built-in cabinets.
Lots upon which the houses are
set measure so by l2O feet. Front
lawns are Sodded and landScaped.
The community was planned by the
Federal Housing Administration.
Streets follow the contours of the
rolling land in an attractive winding
pattern. The development has all
urban utilities, including gas. cleo

are paved and there are concrete
curbs and cutters.

Clean Window Screens
Before Storing Them

Before storing window screens for
the winter, clean them with benzine
Apply this in the outdoor air where
there is no fire danger. Then coat
with varnish or screen enamel to
protect the wire mesh. 1t is advis-
able to place the screen fiat over a
shallow pan in which the chosen
coating material is contained Push
the brush bristles through the net
ting into the varnish or enamel and
draw them back through the screen.
This will prevent the varnish from
clogging the meshes. For this pUr-
pose you will not. of course. employ
too good brush. Another effective
way of applying a protective coating
to screen mesh is to use one of
the special applicators that looks
like a blackboard eraser. These are
obtainable at all paint stores.
