 (NEA Service Stan COrespOndent)
 Washington, June IS Good news to married non-coms in all armed services = Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard: marriage and fatherhood are about to pay of.
 One effect of the so-called Fam fly Allotments and Allowances bills, will be to grant semi-auto- matic graduated pay raises to every enlisted man-Grades {, 5, 6, and 7-who has Class. A depen- dents, regardless of his or their financial status. A Class A depen- dent, according to both House and Senate bills, is "any pers . who is the wife, the child or the former wife divorced" (to whom alimony is being paid) of an en- listed man.
 RICH AND POOR
 SHARE ALIKE
 Since the dependency" of Class A is based on relationship rather than financial needs, Sergeant Smith, with penniless wife, Priv ate Brown with a self-supporting wife and Corporal Van Plush, who clips enough coupons to keep the little woman in a Park avenue penthouse, could all get equal al1- lowances for families of the same size under the act, provided they set aside the necessary allotment out of their own base pay. The War and Navy Departments favor this blanket procedure because it's dem- cratic and easy to operate-no long, costly Investigations necessary. The Federal Security Agency policy makers add their approval on the grounds that 1t removes the 're- lief" stigma from payments which they consider to be a fighting family mans due.
 A final gesture of Glass A pay- ments is that they are "compul- sory" in the sense that even If the man doesn't want to apply for them and shell out his allotment of $22 toward family support to rolling in, he must-if his bona fide wife or children demand 1t. CLASS "B" RELATIVES
 ARE REAL DEPENDENTS
 When 1t comes to providing ale lowances and allotments for Class B dependents, the picture changes in certain respects. In the first place Glass B eligibles must be financially dependent on the en- listed man for & Substantial por- ton of their support" as well as close relatives i.e. parents, grand

Future War Housing
 To Be 9O% T Temporary
National Association of Real Estate Boards Approves
 Program at Congressional Hearing

Chicago, H., June 16-Accepting the statement of governmental policy on war housing presented to Congress this week by MIA Ad- ministrator John B. Blandford, Jr., under which 90% of public housing for the war emergency will be tenn porary in character and private en- terprise will be given chance to do as much of the permanently needed housing as 1t can, the National Association of Real Estate Boards in hearings before a House committee, has expressed approval of the pro- gram thus outlined.
 The temporary type of structure has been used up to the present time in only 43% of government built war housing. The Association has long held that where war hous- ing will be of doubtful usefulness after the war is over, and where public construction may be neces- sary, that construction should be temporary in nature to avoid ghost cities and postwar urban blight.
 The program outlined by Admin istrator Blandford is reached through consultation with WIPE as to plant location and with the War Manpower Commission as to extent of expected immigration. It ap- pears to represent real meeting of minds between WIPE and MIA as to the necessity for minimum housing for war workers limited to in-migrants. WIPE and MIA are agreed that housing is essential to the war effort and that materials must be made available for 1t, Blandforc states
 Estimating that in the twelve months immediately ahead there will be need for housing 1900, 1000 immigrants, which will call for H. 32O,0OO housing units, the program as MT. Blandford outlines 1t allots 100000 of these units for new pro- duction by private enterprise.
 It calls for securing 100000 dwell- ing units through remodeling, and for maximum use of 660,O00 existing dwellings through 8 war guest plan. It estimates that government-built war housing for the remainder will call for an additional authorization of $500, ,OOO, 900, and tags 90% of this to be of temporary character. The housing is to be programmed local- ly to fit in the community pattern.
 we must exercise every ingenuity to avoid the use of critical mate riaIs," officers of the National Asso- citation of Real Estate Boards point

New Army Family Allotment Act Will Influence Draft ClaSSificatiOnS
GRANTING DETERRENT FINANCIAL GROUNDS LOCAL BOARDS CONSIDER HOW WILL DEPENDENTS

investigation--until such time as a veto or okay can be got from the man himself.
 To men with Glass A or B de- pendents not yet in the armed forces and up for classification or reclassification by their Selective Service Boards, the Allowances and AllotEnents bill ig going to make q whale of lot of difference, too.
 Title II of the measure amends the selective Service Act in two very important ways. It states that local boards, when determin- ing how dependent Q mans family is, shall consider the amount of the extra payments his A and B dependents would be entitled to once he gets into the army before deciding that he should be de- ferred on financial grounds.
 MAN CAN STILL
 CLAIM EXEMPTION-IF
 Formerly the Act read that boards should only consider his financial status at the time of classification In the future, if the board figures the mans kids or parents can get along on the specified payment they'd receive, plus any other income they might have, the man would not be deferred for financial reasons.
 If, however, special circumstances, such as invalidisrl1 or obligations make the cost of support higher than the estimated payments--the man still may be able to claim serv- ice exemption for support.
 Furthermore this vital amendment recognizes specifically that certain types of family relationship may be considered grounds for deferment, regardless of the money question.
 It authorizes the President to see that some grouping is worked out for class 3 Selective Service regist- rantS-who comprise 65 per cent of all men classified-so that estab- hshed families shall not be broken up just because financial dependen- cy may have been removed.
 WORKING OUT DETAILS
 UNDER NEW PLAN
 Already Major General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of Selective Serv- ice, is busy working out the ticklish problem of what categories are to be set up and in what order men from these groups shall be called.
 It's a safe bet that when the lo- cal boards finally get the new direc- tives, they'll find that all single men with dependents must be called up before the married ones are touched and the guy with a whole bunch of grade-schoolers to look after will be the last on the list.

 Back of such a war housing pol icy as has now been outlined" they add, 1t is of the highest importance that we utilize existing industrial plants for war production to the maximum of their possibilities.

NASH GETS BIG ASSIGNMENT IN
 AVIATION FIELD
By ANTHoNY c. DE LoRENzo

NUmlVe0 EEeSB stan COrreSpOnnemtD
 Detroit, June 16-(UP)--Nash Kelvinator Corp, which built its pre-war reputation as a manufac- turer of automobiles and refrigera- tors, is almost 100 per cent in the aircraft business today.
 It has embarked on a wartime manufacturing program which cas- fly will dwarf It's greatest peacetime performance. At peak production 1t will employ two ard one-half times as many men as 1t did during capacity output of civilian goods.
 Nash Kelvinator has tackled three major aircraft production jobs. They are:
 1-Manufacture of Hamilton var iable-pitch propellors. Nash already is in volume production on this job at one of its Michigan plants. h. cidentally, the manufacturing cost of a propeller of this type is equal to that of three automobiles. Also Builds Engines
 @Production of fling boats for the Navy on a quantity basis. This job is 50 large that several plants, some of them in Wisconsin and Michigan, will be required to supply parts. An entirely rev plant is be- ing built in Louisiana to handle as- sembly of these giant freight car- riers, only two or three of which have been built by hard.
 3-Manufacture of 8 powerful, air-cooled airplane engine under license by United Aircraft Corp. The government has earmarked $32, ,000,- 900 to prepare Nash-Kelvinator for the engine building job. These en- zines will power some Of the fastest planes the Army and Navy have in the air.
 Serves as Sub- Contractor
 Nash-Kelvinator's shift from civ- ilian to war production has been described as a colossal develop ment" by ore of its own executives. Its most serious bottleneck was ob- taining enough trained supervisory personnel to push its various air. craft jobs. For example, Nash will employ nearly one-third of it's full peactime nanpower on assembly of the Navy flying boat alone. It hopes to reach 90 per cent of its peak war employment by December.
 Nash also has shouldered 'otheT government war contracts. It built thousands of automobile trailers for the Army in a plant which has been sold to another manufacturer for assembly of tanks. It is making parts for Army binoculars. Nash also is serving as a sub-contractor on at least 8 dozen other war prod ucts.

DIES BUT NEIGHDORS
 STILL A-DITHER

Hornersville. Mo, June lS--CUP) -Dr. Floyd Kinsolving, aged Mis- souri jack-of-all-trades and eccen. tric, is dead, but his very eccentric ism has kept his neigiibors in A dither and his estate isn't any near CT settlement than 1t was when he died May s.
 Called wealthy by the townsfolk, Dr. Kinsolving, who practiced law, medicine, surveying, herptolopy teaching, and farming among other things, borrowed money to plant his cotton crop last year.
 When he died there was little evidence of wealth around lis rambling i8-room farm home, But a country banker reported the de. ceased farmer had purchased S50.. GOO worth of war bonds in January and they were no where to be found.
 May Wreck Home
 That started a search for his for. tune. Before 1t ended nearly 325O.- 900 in cash and negotiable papers had been discovered - and even now many neighbors maintain that not all the cash or paper has been found. They believe there is more in the old home, among the litter Of old cars, trailers, farm nachin. cry and bottles which the late doc- tor Soved.
 Searchers discovered cash in odd corners of the home. The largest cache of more than $6O,O0O was in Q tin box hidden away in a niche cut in concrete under the back porch. A large can on @ basement shelf contained $l,70O in silver. In another can was $2,OO0 in SiOO bills, several hundred dollars were found between pages of books. Trustees of his estate may order the home wrecked to be certain other valu- ables aren't overlooked.
 During his life Dr. KinsolyinQ gave his neighbors plenty to think about. They laughed when he brought in 5000 geese to cut down the Johnson grass between his rows of cotton. It worked, and many Missouri bootheel farmers now have their own flocks of geese.
 Every automobile the doctor own- ed was on his farm when he died The first was a 1911 model. There were 30 good tires in the basement Of his house. Two new Persian rugs were among his household effects. TWenty-four gold watches, all pur- chased at once, were. found. None Of them had been wound since they left the jewellers. He spent l3 years building his own steel and black walnut house trailer. Then he bought a new ready made one. Neither was ever used.
 Hcrnersville doesn't believe the last has been heard of Dr. Kinsolv- ing. Although there have been rum- ors that he left three wills, only one has been found. That leaves his fortune to be divided equally be- tween the University of Missouri and the University of Louisville after his two children receive $1 each and their fathers Hove and affection"
 The children, Mrs. R. Cannon and Floyd Kinsolving, Jr., were estranged from their father in l0Os when their parents were divorced. They were not reconciled until 1889 when the second Mrs. Kinsolying died at the age of 92.
