After preliminary examination to determine whether the project conforms with war housing requirements and involves minimum use of critical material for both utilities and structures, the builder is given a letter requesting the local utility companies servicing the project to prepare an applica- ton for the necessary utility con- nections.
 The two applications are there upon consolidated and, after com- pletion of processing by the FILA office, are forwarded to the regional office of the National Housing Agency for the regular examina- tion. The applications are then forwarded to the field office of the War Production Board for approval or denial of 8 preference rating.
 A similar procedure has been es- tablished for publicly financed war housing projects, except that the Federal Public Housing Authority rather than the private contractor requests the local utility to prepare an application to extend its serv- ices.

 AS THEY DROP
 BOMBS ON LAPS
Editors Note: Following Is an eyewitness story on the Battle of Midway Island.)
BY W. F. THREE


 United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 With U. s. Fleet on Midway Island, (Delayed) - ((UP) - This is designated as Field Day" in the Battle of Midway. The tough part is over. The tension is gone, and everyone-despite the weariness of fighting strain-is smiling in the exultant mood of victory.
 Our planes are out at dawn for the third day. At 800 a. m. they report a single enemy battleship, a cruiser and five destroyers steam ing slowly at 10 knots 150 miles from our position. The battleship has been left behind by the Japs in their flight from disastrous in- vasion attempt against Midway Island. We are ordered at 25 knots to "close on" the reported position of the enemy and the attack group is away at 10 a. m.
 Three heavy bomb hits are made in this attack on the battleship, one of them smack between the stacks" A fighter assault on the escorting destroyers is described as "very effective" One of the Jap cruisers is hit and immediately starts "an uncontrolled turn to the right"
 An afternoon attack Is pressed home with even more determina- ton. Pilots on the fighter radio cir cult keep up running commentary of enthusiasm as they bore in. Let's go boys!" begins the squad- ron leader. The air is full of jab- bering:
 Open up! There's couple of big ships-take any of them. This Is Wally, entering dive now. Let's get on him. What are you waiting for? Hold your horses, Wilbur This is Wally-commencing dive. That's what you said five minutes ago. What, another one? I'm after another one Let's do something even if it's wrong. Okay, you big brave boys, we are all supposed to be together. Close up on me! Hey! Keep low. Righto Hey, any of you fellows got any bombs? There's Mogi class cruiser in the rear.
 "Oh baby! Did we put that damn can on fire. Looks like the battle ship blew up, too. Get em again They'll never get that fire out. Put 'em all smack on the bottom That one blew up too. Good hit! Good hit!
 ". Boy! I wish had a camera along. Let's go back and make an- other dive, William. That scared the hell out of me. thought we were not going to pull out. Alta boy, there's hit. . ,. Slow down, Eddie. This is Red. Oh boy! That was beauty-looked like it went right down the stack.
 "Yes sir, I'm all right. And wasn't that a beauty? These Japs are easy as shooting duck in a rain barrel. Hey, Eddie, get out, damn 1t. Tojo, you'll get your laundry this week. Pappy? Are you okay? This is Daily. I don't have enough gas to stay around here. Okay, let's go home. That battleship is stopped dead now. The heavy cruiser is burning fiercely, but still underway. The battleship is asking for help to remove person. mel. She just exploded once more" "
