Kahn. in his speech accepting

building will carry on after the
war. notwithstanding the many
plants just built. We will, no
doubt, have n standing army and
navy. They will require re-
punishment Of materiel.
"Probably not all the govern
ment-owned plants will be re-
tained-but many will. The
corporations which succeed I'm
buying government plants will
have an advantage over those
operating In obsolete buildings.
Competition will force the cree
ton Of new plants In suburban
districts where expansion IL
easily possible and the abandon
ment OF plants within city
limits where production IL bound

Bomber Houses

Refuses TO Take Sides
in City Controversy

A second front was opened to-
day in the Ford-goVernment row
over the proposed bomber city
at Willow Run with public hous-
ing officials stating that the motor
magnate could not block the
project and Henry Ford stating
nothing.
Originating in Detroit, the
controversy was carried TO WASH
ington. where the Truman Senate
investigating committee ordered a
public hearing July on the pro-
posed permanent housing for
bomber plant workers.
The inquiry was ordered after
II. A. CapiZzi, Ford attorney:
Willis II. Hall, Detroit Board or
Commerce. and George Meader,
Mashtenaw County prosecutor, at
tackled the project in Washington.
CONVENTIONS OUTLINED
They contended the bomber
city would contain more homes
than necessary. use critical ma.
Iterials, ignore lack of sewers and
utilities. single out the Willow
run plant for special consideras
ton. and would be ruinous To
private building.
1.-THE government wants no
scrap with Mr.. Ford" said Col.
F. Charles Starr. local FPHA
director. "but IL Is our studied
opinion that this housing project

Is TO run without interruption.
"Since May Is, operations ON
/ this important war measure
have been at a standstiil, -
some farmers of the district
have followed the lead Of Mr..
Ford. After all, this is war" >
LITTLE PROGRESS MADE
Little progress has been made
on the local front because, Starr
said. il is more difficult to SEQ
Ford than the President OF the
limited States.
Speaking for the industrialists
ICapizzi suggested immediate con-
Istruction of temporary dwellings
near the plant as time-saving
measure.

planned without consulting Ford
Officials on peak employment esti-
mates for the plant during or
after the war. Capizzi added:
"Mr. Ford is interested not -
an interested landowner but ~

his land was involved simply

sooner"

"A lot of people seem to have a
mistaken notion in regard to re-
strictions on the sale of lumber"
said Earl Switzer, in charge of re-
tail sales for the J. Neils Lumber
Company. "A number of people
have asked if they will be permit
ted to buy lumber for ordinary re-
pairs about their houses.
II should like to say emphatical-
ly that the Government has placed
no restrictions, whatever, on the
sale of lumber. We can still sell
lumber just as freely as we ever
have. Also there are no restric-
tons whatever on the sale of brick,
cement, glass, insulating material
and other similar items Of build
ing material The only restrictions
are on articles made from certain
scarce metals, such as plumbing and
electrical fixtures, heating equip
ment, etc, i. G., articles in which
iron and copper are used. There
fore, if you are in need of lumber
for repairs on your house, rest as
sured that you will be permitted
to buy all you need without any
restriction.
