New Dealers Who

BULLETIN.

After a 10-minute executive
session, the House Military
Affairs Committee late today
delayed for at least a week
action on a request of two
committee members that John
P. Monroe be cited for con-
tempt of the House for refusal
to reveal the names of the
New Deal officials" who had
warned him he was going to

names of high New Deal off,

he was going to be prosecuted
for his activities as a manu-
facturers' agent operating from
his 210l r street residence.
Mr.. Monroe was explicit in saying
that the parties he has given for
Washington people in the now we'll
known house were never orgies,
never drunken, and never attended
by any lewd women
But his reply to a question in the
House Military Committee as to who

Contempt Charges Asked.
Representative Sheridan, Demo-

the witness be held in contempt but
the committee did not take i'm

it or you just don't know" asked
Representative Harness, Republican,
of Indiana.
Mr.. Monroe replied: Il just can
not answer" and later said, Il can't
remember, sir. I don't want to do
a person wrong"
During an executive session, as
revealed by the reading of the trans
cript which also told of his failure
to name his jnformants, Mr.. Monroe
testified that Senator Brewster. Re-
publican, of Maine had told him
that "a job was going to be done
on me-" But Mr. Monroe added that
was long before this happened"
Later he named Senator Bridges,
Republican, of New Hampshire, as
Senator who had told him of re-
ceivlng anonymous calls trying to

Quizzed for 20 Minutes.
When Mr.. Monroe refused to re-
veal in public the name of the ad-
ministration official, Chairman Nav
ordered an executive session shortly
after IL: 80 pm. He was questioned bv
the committee for about 20 minutes
and the hearing then halted for
lunch.
Names of several members of the
Senate were said to have been men
toned by Mr.. Monroe as some of
the New Deal officials" who the
witness said had warned him he
was to be framed" and prosecuted"
during the hearings.
During the morning session Mr..
Monroe asserted, In response to

John B. BIonford, Jr.,
Issues Regulations
On War HOUSING

The private building industry in
producing its share of war housing
urgently needed this year should be
assisted by procedures clarifying the
application of materials conserva-
tion requirements. This was the
belief OF John B. Blandford, -.
head Of the National Housing
Agency, in announcing today imple-
mental regulations to assist private
builders and to avoid action causing
undue hardship.
The notifications were made to
the war housing construction stand
ards established by the MIA and
the War Production Board to assure
minimum use of critical materials
commensurate with practical oper--
ations.
For Quick Decisions.
Mr.. Blandford said the FHA in its
revislons has sought to give private
builders as much operating Ger
tainty as Is possible during war
time, to provide machinery for quick,
simple and fair decisions or review
for individual cases, and to avoid
retroactive decisions" High lights
OF the revisions follow:
l. The provisions of the revised
war housing critical list and the
revised war housing construction
standards will apply without quail
fication to private projects where
the application for priority assist
ance is acted upon favorably by the
Federal Housing Administration
after February n, l943.
2. Where a builder holding an
outstanding preference rating order
approved prior to that date requests
rerating or extension OF that order
or applies for Authorization of q
purchase order, conformity with the
above provisions also will be re-
quired except where the builder has
started substantial work on the
project prior to February q and
can establish to the satisfaction of
the FHA that conformity is not
practical.
