Paint Helps Prevent
Moisture Absorption

Although decoration is generally
the motivating reason for painting
house, the prevention of mois-
ture absorption by porous surfaces
such as brick, stucco and other
cement mix materials is equally
important. Frequent saturation is
conducive to surface busting and
unsightly stains. Upon freezing
the moisture expansion may result
in serious crumbling. Correctly
formulated paint will seal the sur
face and thus eliminate the cause
for disintegration and staining.

Showers
Bafhtub Ban Saves Precious
Metal for War Use

BY installing showers instead OF
bathtubs in temporary war homes
the Federal Public Housing Au-
thority will divert approximately
10000 tons of iron and steel to
war purposes-an amount suffi-
Gent to build $50 13-ton standard
light tanks for the armed forces.
The FPHA order substituting
showers bsthtuhs will affect
more than $4,000 housing units
soon to go into construction.
This change in war housing ia.
Icilities was made necessary by
the curtailment program recently
announced by the War Production
Board.

Guides Accompany
Newsmen to
80 Buildings
BY KENNETH l.. DIXON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 R
"A bunch of the boys with bag
gy britches who cover the news
in these parts emptied their bull
ging pockets today and told the
story Of the little press pass that
grew and multiplied.
A little over a year ago, they
recalled, a White House card
would admit a scribe or pho
tographer to almost any inner
sanctum in this bedlam on the
Potomac.
Now, to properly cover the
wartime capital on guard
against spies, saboteurs and
screwballs - it requires about
forty separate passes, ba d.
ges, cards, armbands and car
stickers. And that does not ad.
init to at least 80 temporary
buildings where each newsman
must be signed in and out and
be accompanied by a govern.
guide" Nor does it include the
extra passes photographers must
get before carrying their cam.
eras into each building.
Many of the passes bear pic.
lures (not too flattering), finger.
prints and personal descrip-
tions-and some are plenty hard
to get.
A portly photographer who
became surprisingly skinny
when depassed extracted his ev-
idence from his pockets and
spread it on the table:

tographer badge; Navy photog.

While their industrial brothers
build ships, workers in the sail and
flag loft OF the Brooklyn Navy Yard
are turning out flags at the rate
OF 5000 a week TO fly on them.
Spurred on by the fact that flags
in constant use have short lives
the personnel employed furnishing
requirements has been increased
from 100 to more than $50 since
the start OF the war.
Every ship that puts to sea must
maintain, in addition 10 its Amer
can flag, a complete set Of signal
flags These last on an average OF
six weeks.
In all, women employees are
stitching 1880 yards Of material
each week Included in the loft 5

States Ensign, the Union Jack, in
ternational code flags and various
pennants and flags OF others OF
the United Nations.
Replacing the Army.Nayy e" for
