BY the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, June 3.-A heavy
battle for possession of Chuhsien,

A communique said fighting con-
tinued on the Kiangsi, Kwangtung

lulls in the action in Chekiang had
been caused only by bad weather.
With reinforcements moving up
to battle positions, the Japanese
were said to be attacking Chuhsien
from three directions, supported by
artillery and some planes.
Chinese Artillery Resists.
The high command said Chinese
forces, fighting back with their own

Britain Takes Over Coal Mines;
Rotioning Will Start JuIy7
$40 Pounds Per Person Provided Annually,
With Allowances for Households

Original rationing proposals met
with such opposition that they were
withdrawn. Parliament is to be
given the opportunity to debate the
new scheme, which was announced
in a white paper.
The coal industry will be organ
lied as a national service and the
organization now established will
continue pending final decision by
Parliament
This was interpreted to mean
government control of the mines
will continue into peacetime unless
Parliament decides otherwise.
A national coal board will be
established. with a controller in each
region, advised by a regional board
The government has also decided
not to withdraw any more men from
the army to mine coal, but in the
future some men may be sent to the
mines instead of to the army when
not needed in their present work.

LONDON, June Strong
British air squadrons blasted
again at the munitions center of
Essen last night, mopping up
areas which escaped destruction
in the 1,036-plane raid Monday
night, and striking at other OBJ
jectives in the Ruhr Valley, an
thorities said today.
On the home front, the British
said a small number of enemy
planes dropped bombs in Southeast
England, starting small fires and
causing some damage and casual
ties.
The German high command, in
its broadcast communique, identi-
fled the target as the cathedral city
of Canterbury, where, it said, 10000
incendiary bombs and other bombs
of heavy and the heaviest calibers'
were dropped. 1t was the second
raid in three nights on Canterbury.
Results Satisfactory.
While it was emphasized that the
Raj struck in force, an authorita-
tive statement said "the scale of
operations was not comparable with
that of the previous night"

haze made observance difficult, but
the weather was good and the re-

$1,000 War HOUSING
Units in Capital Area
To Receive Lumber
WPB Eases 'Freezinq'
Orders, but Excludes
1,500 DemountobIes
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The War Production Board re-
laxed its construction lumber
freezing order today to per-
nit completion in Metropolitan
Washington of nearly 81 1000 pub
licly and privately financed war
housing dwelling units.
Among the Government housing
projects which were not given the
official go ahead" signal by the
WPB were Langley Village, $500
unit development programmed by
Defense Homes Corp. for near Chill
lum, Md, and 1900 of the 450O de-
mountables the Alley Dwelling Au-
thority is charged with building.
The Capital, however, apparently
Jared much better than the rest of
the country under WPB's pruning
knife, as nearly one-fifth of all
housing excepted from the freeze
will be located here.
The figures show the WPB will
allow mills to supply lumber for
9,798 Government housing units in
Washington and 1000 under con-
struction by private builders. 1t
was difficult to ascertain what per-
centage of all private dwellings the
figure represents. but it was believed
it includes virtually all the ones
classified as war housing.
Demountables in Allegiance.
John Ihlder, ADA executive officer,
said the $500 demountables not on
the WPB approved list would be
held in abeyance," The fate of
these outlying developments was
considered highly uncertain. In
cluded in this category was the con-
troversial 800-unit demountable
project scheduled for erection on the
Strait tract near Garrett Park, Md.
Residents of the Garrett Park area
have protested vigorously the loca-
ton of the housing.
Public housing here approved by
WPB includes Mclean Gardens, de-
velopment under construction on
Wisconsin avenue NV: a dormitory
for colored women at Third and U
streets NV; Seminary Heights, the
3,550-unit project underway in
Arlington; Naylor Gardens, $50
units in Southeast Washington;
James Greek dwellings, 278 units in
the Southwest section which ADA
converted from slum clearance to
war housing. and 5000 demount-
ables to be located nearer the center
of the city.
Great Shortage of Lumber.
The fate of all other housing both
here and in the rest of the country
seems uncertain and the WPB again
stressed a great shortage of con-
struction lumber. The demand for
lumber was said to be much greater
than the existing supply and the
rate of production. A large per-
centage of the material is being
used in erection of Army canton
mentS.
For the entire Nation WPB ap-
proved as essential" slightly more
than 100000 dwelling units. The
total included 54039 publicly
financed units in "a States and
the District, and 81, $50 private units
in 10 States and the District.

He and Halle were remarked by

remarriage never reached the ears

There were no orchids, no con-

do.
