Stiff Opposition
10 joint Planning Of
War Program Seen
Democrat Chiefs Fear
Proposed Committee
Might Slow Effort
By the Associated Press.


? Proposals for joint House and
Senate high command" committee
on the conduct Of the war were
confronted today with the prospect
,of still opposition from the Demo-
cratic leadership, $50, .-..
An unomcial, but authoritative,
source reported that the majority
leadership would resist "and make
it stick" any attempt on the part
Of the Republicans to form q naison
committee between Congress and
the administration war agencies.
:, The Democratic spokesman, de-
clining use Of his name,' declared
that the committee would result
only in Slowing down" the war
effort, and maintained that the
regular ,committees-MiEtary Az
fairs, Naval Affairs and Appropri-
ations-were functioning eficiently
But, despite that opposition, q
move for the formation Of such a
committee, originally advocated by
Representative Dirksen, Republi-
can, OF Illinois, to coordinate con-
gressional action on war legislation,
appeared to be gaining strength
with the Republican election re-
surgence! -
House Minority Leader Martin
indicated over the week end that
he might lead the fight for the
committee, chiefly to provide a
means of keeping Congress in closer
touch with the prosecution of the
war: 49,. -.
/ Mr.. Martin made 1t clear that
neither he nor Congress wanted to
run" the military, but he expressed
a conviction that Congress should
be provided with the facts" as a
guide in writing war legislation and
for voting appropriations.

More Outdoor

Another influence that may

Huge Building
Program Seen

Sharp revival in privately
financed BODYBUILDING during the
postwar period is anticipated by
many bankers active in the home
mortgage field, according to a sur
Vey Of banking opinion on the
postwar home financing outlook
appearing in the current issue Of
the Insured Mortgage Portfolio.
While the existence Of numerous
problems in the home financing
field is conceded, most Of the
statements contributed TO the
survey indicate a belief that a
large volume Of housing conStruc-
ton will be one Of the principal
rearS Of bridging me transition
between A wartime and a peace
time economy so as TO maintain
maximum employment and indus
trial activity, and 10 advance the
national standard of living after

velOpment of housing after the
war are so enormous they
stagger the imagination" said

Make Porch Serve
As Extra Room
Remodeline Would Help
Relieve House Shortage

Owners Of old properties located
in war industry areas who are de-
sirous of providing help in reliev-
ing housing shortages in those
areas may find the opportunity
right on their front porch.
Remodeling authorities point out
that in those areas where housing
accommodations are inadequate tC
meet the needs of war industry
workers. many old-fashioned but
spacious porches could be enclosed
10 make additional rooms. In most
cases such a change would not
only bring in regular rentals for
the owner. but would also improve
the appeaEaHee-eEthc- property.
Because porches are so varied in
character. each individual porch
presents its own possibilities and
problems. Large rear and side
lporches frequently can be turned
Into sleeping rooms with little
difficulty. Some front porcheS car
be made into bedrooms; others arc
better suited to becoming living
rooms, thus releasing other rooms
I for sleeping purposes.

Warning Signs

There are a number Of warning
signs that may be watched. The
guage glass is the first and easiest
10 see. If the water in the glass
is rusty, oily. or dirty, then the
boiler needs immediate attention.
In A clean boiler the wafer line
is fairly steady. never fluctuating
more than half an inch either way.
If the boiler needs cleaning, the
use Of a special boiler-cleaning
compound 10 remove accumulated
Sludge and scale from the interior
is recommended. This compound,
as well as oth special boiler
liquids TO inhibit rust or 10 stop
leaks. should be used only by a
heating or piping contractor who
is experienced in its use.

There is a definite relation be-

A boiler with clean water has a
faster heating pickup. uses con-
