Federal officials were asked
Saturday TO tell the local building
industry exactly what is expected
of il during the war emergency
in a statement issued by George
w. Miller. veteran Detroit builder.
Because of the chaotic con-
ditiOn OF the various depart
ments I'm Washington and the
supremacy of the war depart
ment's demands, we are denied
the materials TO complete the
homes that have already been
committed by FHA," Miller de-
clared.
Miller said first OF all Il must
be decided if it is necessary TO
have housing in Detroit for the
good of the war program and
whether that necessity is great
enough TO permit the building
industry to share in the materials
available throughout the country"
Closed Book
"If we are 10 assume that
the needs and demands of the
war department must be salts
fed I'm toto before anything will
be allotted to the building OF
defense homes, IL must follow
that the building industry Is a
closed book for the Duration"
Miller said.
Miller's statement, transmitted
TO all federal officials who have
jurisdiction of the nations build
ing program. appealed for "all
haste in arriving at definiteI

area"
I'VE realize" he continued.
"that this Is = period of transit

I'VE also realize fully that It

Because we realize this we
want to be patient. But behind

Urge Examination
OF Housing Codes

All cities should examine their
housing codes and make amend
ments which will pave the way for
building small. inexpensive houses
suitable for wartime restrictions
and conServations. This was the
suggestion made by the United
States Savings and Loan League
committee on housing meeting in
Chicago last week. The group,
consisting of savings. building and
loan executives from all parts of
the country. pointed out that
under many building codes the
construction of small war housing
of the type permitted under pres
ent War Production Board orders
is virtually impossible.

"An analysis we made recently
shows that construction costs OF
property are running 8 per cent
over year ago, Ia per cent over
two years ago and 10 per cent
over three years ago.
ut IL worth considering In this
regard that fire insurance rates
on dwellings occupied by one or
two families In Detroit and vicin-
ity were reduced recently. This
means that owners can now buy
more insurance for the same
amount OF money. They should
do so without delay.
Values and costs have
changed so sharply since tho
outbreak of the war I'm Europe
and our entrance into defense
work-especiaIly during the last
12 to 10 mohths-that re-exam-

part of the great majority of
Detroit property owners"

"GLAM0UR BOY" HI NEW FILM SET FOR TWENTIETH CENTURY
Jackie Cooper Shares Star ring Bill with Susanna
 Foster Here

One of the most delightful comedy romances ever made with Hollywood as background, Para mounts fresh and frisky Glamour Boy." will arrive tomorrow at the 2Oth Century Theatre. The film co-stars Jackie Cooper and blonde Susanna Foster.
 Preview critics have pulled all stops in their praise for "Gla- mour Boy" The film pokes sharp fun at the film colony, with able Walter Abel giving terrific boost to the festivities as the great 'A.J.,' the producer who guides the desti- nies of Marathon Pictures.
 Jackie Cooper, playing his first really grown-up role, is cast as a time child star, turned soda jerker when the tickle fans start ed to stay away from his pictures in droves. How he stages a come back, with the aid of a kid wizard of the radio, Daryl Hickman, is the central core around which the hilarious action of, Glamour Boy" revolves. Cooper, according to re- ports, does a swell job. He h a S come a long way since he first hit the screen in "Our Gang" come dies and then became famous at the age of eight as "Skippy."
 Paramount has given curious twist to the story by making Jackie play a part closely linked with his real history. In the picture he stag es his comeback after Marathon Pictures has hired him to coach a new Skippy. Scenes from the pie ture of a decade ago are flashed on the screen and those who have seen Glamour Boy" say the eff feet is startling.

FEMININE TOUCH" OpENINGSUNDAY
 ON CAPITOL BILL
RosaIind Russell, Don Amethe, Kay Francis Star
 In Comedy-R

Sound and snug in plot, The Feminine Touch" is one of the years most successful attacks on the public disabilities. This is a Metro Goldwyn- Mayer comedy with Rosalind Russell, Don Ameche, Kay Francis and Van Heflin, in a story as modern as the new tax rate. It will open tomorrow at the Capi- tol Theatre.
 The story, told with highly in ventive and original sense of wit, relates how a professor of philo- sophy writes a book deriding the theory of jealousy. The academian's wife is unconvinced, but meek, until they arrive in New York to meet the publisher, Van Heflin. They also meet his assistant, Kay Francis, who promptly falls for the convention -flouting professor.
 The situation is ideal for the wife, because the publisher is a playboy who cannot resist pretty face. She promptly sets out to make her husband jealous. Miss Francis, in love with the publisher, has the same objective when she S howers attention on Ameche. From this four-cornered tangle the story moves swiftly into a climax of hilarious and sustained merriment.
 The dialogue is clever; Metro Goldwyn- Mayer provided beautiful backgrounds, and Adrian de- signed the stunning costumes worn by Miss Russell and Miss Francis. They attend literary tea, which subtly lampoons all literary teas of past and present. There is also a come as-you-are" party which might well start fad for parties of the coming season.
