WHO 10 Issue Cards
To Workers Eligible
For War HOUSING
System Will Stort
Tomorrow to Aid
Private Builders

War workers eligible to become
tenants of war-housing projects will
be issued referral cards, beginning
tomorrow upon application to the
War Housing Center, Milton Fischer,
regional representative of the Ma
tional Housing Agency, announced
last night. The cards will serve as
proof of eligibility for occupancy
of war housing.
The new system is being inaugu-
rated principally to aid builders of
privately financed war housing
started on or after February 10, Mr..
Fischer explained. Occupancy of
this housing, as we'll as all Gov
t-fnanced war housing, is
limited to war workers who have
moved into this immediate area
since July /, l941.
May Follow Three Plans.
Under the new system these pri-
vate builders will be able to follow
one of the three following steps
when a person applies for housing
accommodations:
l. They may accept any persons
having the referral cards from the
War Housing Center.
2. They may refer applicants with
out cards to the center, which will
perform the service of determining
eligibility.
3. They may accept war worker
applicants they believe to be eligi-
BILE, filling out forms (NHA 60-8)
citing proof of eligibility and pre-
senting the forms to the War Hous-
ing Center.
The referral cards also will be
accepted as proof of eligibility for
occupancy of publicly financed war
housing.
To aid the cooperation among the
builder, the war worker and the
MIA, builders are urged to list all
completed dwellings with the War
Housing Center, Mr.. Fischer said.
They also are urged to notify the
center as soon as a house is oc-
cupied so that persons applying
there for accommodation will not
be sent on useless hunts.
Restriction Is Urged.
Builders of privately financed war
housing for which application for
priority assistance was made prior
to February 10 may house any war
workers, regardless of whether they
are Immigrants" who have moved
into this area since July l, 1941, Mr..
Fischer pointed out.
In view of the critical housing
shortage, however, the MIA is re-
questing that these earlier builders
voluntarily restrict their housing to
Immigrant war workers and use
the new referral card plan, he said.
Even though they do not rent
only to war workers with referral
cards, the builders are asked to fill
out a special occupancy report
Form MIA 60-9) when a dwelling
has been rented and return it to the
War Housing Center as a nctifca-
ton that the housing is no longer
available to prospective tenants.

and Observation-Disclosures under
the Public Buildings Administra-
ton.
Several other projects will be
ready for at least partial occu-
pancy the first part of this week
Virtually all the public housing in
this area on which construction has
been started will be completed by
midsummer.
In addition to the projects already
being erected, 10 other public ho,,s-
ing ventures-nine projects of FAM
lly-size units, five of dormitories for
single persons, and four calling for
the use OF trailers-are on the future
program for the Metropolitan Area.
Ihese programmed projects are
included in the MIA estimate that
the present war housing program
when carried to completion, will
provide 175,O00 persons with ac-
commodations. Plans have been
drawn for most of this housing
though construction contracts have
not been awarded.
Trailer Homes Proposed.
According to present plans, the
public projects yet in the blueprint
stage are to provide living quarters
for 1894 individual war workers and
1924 family groups. They are to
include, in addition, $50 trailer
homes.
Summing up accomplishments
since the war housing program be-
gan, the FPHA reported that Al Gov
ernment-financed projects, includ-
Ing 1O,657 housing units have al
ready been fully completed and
rented to tenants.
This, the FPHA added, brings the

the Civil Service Commission clear
all its job openings with the local
USES before recruiting outside this
area, except in the case of civil
service job openings which are gov
erned by Federal law on the appor-
tionment of Federal positions to
States.
The local Labor Management
Committee, however, decided it
would be unavoidable" for the Civil
Service Commission to clear with
the USES for all its new workers
who do not come under the appor-
tionment provisions.
Government Employer
The Civil Service Commission will
be considered IAN employer" as far
as other provisions of the local plan
are concerned. Under the plan
presumably, private employers could
not hire away from Government
without statements of availability
from the Government workers nor
could Government take workers from
private essential activities without
requiring statements of availability
1t was understood that another
group of employers in Washington
the United Nations governments
have asked for coverage as essential
employers under the plan. The
British Ministry of Supply alone, il
was learned. reported it had 4,0OC
workers here
The list of locally needed activi-
ties, classed as essential under the
plan, will still include the originally
announced seven although still un-
der consideration is inclusion OF
wholesale and retail food distribu.
ton establishments.

Troops Stay on Guard
AT Danger Spots in
Arkansas Flood Area
Rivers Crest Falling;
Red Cross Feeds 1000
In Inundated Cities
By the Associated Press.


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May IS
The flooding Arkansas River, its
force apparently spent, moved a
lowering crest through the center of
the State tonight.
Military authorities declared the
turbulent stream, which has spread
over wide territory through nu-
merous levee breaks north of Little
Rock, was under control. Weather
observers supported this by lower
ing forecasts of peak stages at Little
Rock and Pine Bluff and chalking
up hours delay in movement of the
crest.
Thousands of soldiers remained
encamped at possible danger spots
along the streams lower reaches,
but appeared likely to do little more
than sandbagging and patrol work.
16 Dead and 10 Missing.
Red Cross officials had been
called on to aid only $50 families
south Of Fort Smith. about 1000
persons still were being fed there
and at adjoining Van Buren, where
worst damage was done in last Mon
days flash rise.
Arkansas still had no casualties
reported, compared to Oklahoma's
list of 16 probable dead and 10
missing.
The river crested at 800 feet at
Morrilton today, slightly under the
forecast, and was expected to reach
a crest between % and % feet at
Little Rock tomorrow night or Mon
day. Previously a 30-foot stage, 7
feet above flood, had been predicted
here. The Weather Bureau also
lowered it's Pine Bluff forecast 2
feet, predicting a stage of 80 feet
there Monday night or later.
Flood water trickled into Little
Rocks east side through a levee
cut but officials said only about $50
instead of an anticipated 500 fam
lilies would have to leave their homes.
About 125 already have moved out
of the area.
Water Supply Big Problem.
One of the biggest problems re-
manned at Fort Smith and Camp
Chaffee water supply. Troops from
the camp struggled to string "a
span pontoon bridge across the
swollen stream to support tempo
rary conduit to Van Buren. The
main conduit to the water source, q
lake north of Van Buren, snapped
Wednesday.
The soldiers reported slow prog
ress as they neared midstream but
officers predicted the task would be
completed by Sunday night. Suff-
cient water remained in the city's S
reservoir to last through Monday.
Highway Director w. w. Mitchell
said there were indications the river
had cut a new channel on the south
side of the Fort Smith-Van Buren
Bridge. If true, he said, the State
would have to build a new span to
bridge the gap.

Housing Association, which hal.
made extensive studies of the loca,
need for living accommodations, has
drawn several conclusions
The housing association agrees
that the housing now under con-
struction or programmed will great
ly relieve the overcrowded condi-
tlons that now exist here. It con-
tends, however, that although ITS 900
persons will be housed by the car
rying out of the present war hous-
ing program, shortage of low-rent
housing will still exist.
The association also points out
that occupancy of the public war
housing projects and the more re-
cent private developments is re-
stricted to war workers who have
moved into this area since July I,
1941. 1t has asked the lifting of
this "in-m -migrancy" restriction.
The MIA disclosed Friday that
survey will begin within the next
few days to determine what, if
any, additional housing is needed
here for war workers,

With BILL ACKERMAk.

The individual ration boards, like
draft boards, interpret the rulings
from Washington to their own sat-
sfaction and because there is a va
rance in their views, so, too, at diff
ferent places there Is q difference in
what is termed pleasure use of gaso-
line. In some areas Of the Chesa-
peake Bay country recreational
fishing is possible for the reason the
boards do not care how the boat
men acquire the fish they turn in to
the markets so long as they do catch
them and turn them in. At these
places it seems all right to fish for
fun so long as it is possible to them
without driving your car.
At these places the Coast Guard
patrol boats apparently do not ques-
ton the commercial licenses held
by the shippers or the number OF
persons in the crews of the boats.
This answers the question in the
minds of many anglers-why are
some persons permitted to hsh as
usual at certain spots while at other
points charter boats are idle at the
docks?
Those able to reach bay ports by
public carrier may fish as usual, it
seems, without evading regulations.
Big stripers continue to surface
daily in the eastern section Of the
Chesapeake with the catches of the
dozen or more boats following this
fishing running from so to 100 per
boat.
Hot weather hasn't stopped the
hardheads' hitting.

no statement regarding the tourney.
1T would be successful, so far as
we now can see, only at three clubs"

probable large size of the field.
courses shorter than IS holes could
not handle the crowd and others
are not easily available by public
transportation. Columbia has ac-
cepted only one tournament this
year, the Corby Cup womens event

Turf's Big Buying Wars to End

Most of all, they're going to miss
those wild and woolly bidding wars"
at the yearling sales, because the
widow Of the Chicago candy maker
made habit of sending the bundle
right along for the horses she
fancied until she made her rivals
holler uncle.
For nine years, Mrs. Mars probably
has been the biggest buyer of
yearlings in the history of the turf.
Over that stretch, she bid in 126
from the Saratoga ring for 1892 800
an average of $76,922 4 year and
$3.50 a horse.
And don't get the idea she was
throwing her money away, because
she came out with lot of the oat-
burners that were strictly money
in the bank. Gallhadion, who cost
her 5000 and won a Kentucky
Derby and $92,600. was one OF them.
So was Reaping Reward, who made
$73,665 on q 5000 investment, and
Tiger. who picked up 500, and
The Fighter and Case Ace, who were
in the $4,000 league. and Mrs.
Mars favorite, Sky Larking, who
had $41, ,135 bank account as a q
year-old before breaking a leg one
tough afternoon at Belmont.
Mrs. Mars opened her Milky Way
Stable back in 1884. Her husband.
Franklin, had left her with a couple
of hundred show horses when he
died the year before. She was show
ing them at Kansas City months
later and some squahble popped up
over a trivial award. 1t burned"
Mrs. Mars so much, she sold the
whole show string right off her farm
at Pulaski, Tenn, and began to put
together her powerhouse racing
stable.
