F Federation 10 Receive
Criticism Of NCHA

A recommendation that the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority be
''liquidated and its functions and
assets transferred to appropriate
agencies" will be laid before the
Federation of Citizens Associations
tonight by the Federation Commit
tee on Housing and Rent Control.
The committee report made public
today, sharply criticizes the present
setup and makes recommended
lions Tor a substitute program of
four main points. 1t is signed by
Joseph H. Deckman, chairman of
the committee, who is president of
Randall Highland Citizens Associa-
ton, and building supply dealer.
Mr.. Deckman's four points are:
1. A new Stun Clearance Board
with the general powers created by
the Alley Dwelling Act Of 1884, but
extended to all blighted areas of the
District.
2. A program encouraging private
enterprise to construct low-rent
housing, including long-term financ-
ing, possibly for so to 60 years.
8. Utilization of the present public
welfare services of the municipal
government for tenant selection,
with a graded rent schedule similar
to that now in effect in some prop
critics handled by NCHA.
a. Positive prohibition by law of
human habitation of any insanitary
or unsafe building.

Stock Market Drifts
|rreguIar|y Lower
In Dull Trading
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Leading
stocks were hesitant in today's
market without exhibiting any par
ticuiar weakness.
Irregularly slipping tendencies
predominated at the opening and
minor fractional declines, were well
distributed near the close. Trans
fers of around 25O0OO shares were
among the smallest since early
September.
While holders generally were re-
luctant to liquidate on any real
scale, the inclination was to stand
aside or keep commitments light
either way pending news of de-
cisions reached by the Roosevelt
Churchill-Stalin conferences in Iran
which, 1t was theorized, could have
appreciate repercussions market
wise.
Bidding cropped up here and there
for scattered favorites as the result
Of special dividend or earnings
prospects. Year-end tax selling
continued as a minor trend brake,
although the feeling in Wall Street
was that this was lighter than in
1912 and, due to the new December
IS tax-fling regulation, might be
fairly well completed before mid
month. Some profit taking on the
three-day recovery was a restrain
ing factor.

0PA Cuts Wholesale Prices
OF Virqinia Pork Products

BY the Associated Press.
Reductions in wholesale prices of
cured Virginia pork products were
ordered today by the Office of Price
Administration in expectation of
a 10 per cent retail price cut soon
to be ordered.
The prices Of Virginia cured pork
products were not lowered last June
when all other meat prices were
rolled back Preparation of these
products takes several months, and
lowering of prices at that time would
have prevented many sellers from
disposing of accumulated inven-
tories, the OPA explained.
The price agency established max
imums for green hams, long cut,
bone-in, to be sold only for Vir-
GINA curing, at $2225 a 100 pounds
for hams under IA pounds; $21.50
for hams 14-18 pounds, and $2O.50
for hams over 18 pounds.

Used Car Rdfioninq
Considered by 0PA
By the Associated Press.


Fewer than $4,000 new passenger
automobiles are left in the Nations
ration pool and the Office of Price
Administration is studying plans for
possible rationing of used cars.
The precise total of new cars re-
naming is not available from OPA
but this authoritative estimate rep
resents reduction of the pool from
532 900 passenger vehicles when new
cars were brought under rationing
in February, 1912
Monthly neW-car release quotas
trimmed to 1880 units for Deem
ber-will continue to be slashed, but
even so, the supply is expected to
reach an extremely low level within
six months.
That situation, and the unlikeli-
hood of any resumption of new
car manufacture in the near future
has prompted drafting of the plans
for rationing used cars. OPA, it is
understood, will hold the plans in
readiness for any emergency re-
quiring cars for essential workers.
Another reason for preparation of
the plans is the possibility that price
ceilings for used cars may be coupled
with rationing. OPA has been
working on a maximum price seized
ule since last April.

Senate Finance Groun
Seeks 10 Speed Up
Tax Bill Hearings
BY the Associated Press.


A weary Senate Finance Commit
tee attempted today to close out
public hearings on the 81, lao 0O0, 600
tax increase bill by COMPRISING into
six days testimony such as has
strung out over weeks in previous
sessions.
Religious and charitable groups
were invited to state their case for
provision which would give income
taxpayers who are subject to the
withholding levy anticipatory credit
Tor gifts to such organizations.
The obviously perfunctory nature
Of the hearings was illustrated yes
terday by the sparse attendance OF
committee members. Out of men,
bership of 81, frequently only two
or three were on hand, and part OF
the time Acting Chairman Walsh
carried on alone. Chairman George
was absent because of illness. Ap-
parently the committeeman consid-
cred the servicemens vote bill
argued all week on the Senate floor
OF more pressing Importance.
Postal Rate Boost Opposed.
The tax bill, representing only
about a fifth of the $10,50O, OOO, 900
extra revenue asked by Secretary
Morgenthau and his Treasury aides,
Will become subject to possible
further pruning when the commit
tee goes into executive session next
week.
Postmaster General Walker asked
the committee yesterday to withhold
action on a proposed $166,0OO, 900
increase in postal rates.
Within go days, he told the COM
mlttee, he will complete a study of
the postal rate structure and be in a
position to recommend revisions in
existing charges. He called atten-
ton to law which, he said, would
permit the President to change the
rates by proclamation, though he
conceded that legislation would be
needed II special charges such as
money order and registration fees
were changed.
Revenue Decrease Seen.
The House bill would increase the
local letter charge from to cents,
boost airmail from 6 to cents, dou-
BILE the third-class postal rates and
raise the charge for money orders,
insured and registered mail, and
COLLECTION delivery parcels.
The Postmaster General agreed
with Senator Clark, Democrat, of
Missouri that higher rates might re-
suit in net decrease in postal rev.
enue because of lowered volume. He
said he doubted the airmail hike
would add any revenue, was of the
opinion that third-class mail reve-
nue. would drop and believed I'VE
may hold our own on parcel post"
