Construction Demand
To Double After War,
Builders Are Told
Fletcher Warns Industry
To Stort Planning Now
For Postwar Expansion

Demand for construction will in
crease 200 per cent over the present
figure after the war, C. Scott
Fletcher, field director for the Com
mittee for Economic Development,
told luncheon meeting of the
Washington Building Congress yes
terday at the Mayhower Hotel.
While Mr.. Fletcher said the pros
poets for the future were hopeful
and inspiring" he warned that it
was essential 'to have a business
climate conducive to expansion.
What we need" he added, "is a
restoration of risk-taking. Without
that all our plans are to no avail"
Our experience" Mr.. Fletcher
said, indicates that planning can
be carried on without interference
with the war work" Saying that
1t was essential for management to
start planning now, Mr.. Fletcher
predicted that men returning from
the armed services after the war
would want jobs with future and
not dole at subsistence levels.
Cites Output Boost.
Mr.. Fletcher quoted the chairman
of the committee, Paul G.. Hoffman,
president of the Studebaker Corp,
as saying that it is lack of jobs on
grand scale that gives dictators a
chance" He also quoted Mr.. Hof1 =
man as saying that collectivism, If it
arrives, would come by default
rather than by design of radicals" /"
Regarding the general economic
picture, Mr.. Fletcher said the gross
national output of goods had gone
up from 100000 ,o0o, 900 in 1910 to
$155, ,000, ,000, 900 this year. He said
the committee had estimated the
employment of 55,O00,000 persons
after the war could result IN the
production of $40 0000, 900 900 worth
Of goods and services.
Mr.. Fletcher said the fist two
years after the war have been de-
scribed as the Catching period
and said that number of communi-
ties have made plans for postwar
expansion of their plants, goods and
markets. General Motors, he said,
already has set its production goals
so per cent higher than before the
war.
Bond Appeal Issued.
William P. MacCracken, head of
the speakers bureau here for the
Third War Loan drive, urged men,
bers of the building congress to buy
at least twice as many bonds as in
the April drive.
Let's not call it sacrifice" he said.
That word sacrifice should be re-
served for men like those out at
Walter Reed or the Naval Medical
Center in Bethesda 1t Is not sacri-
flee, because we know that we are
going to get our money back with
interest. If banks get into buying
again it will mean imitation. So
when you buy bond you are help
ing to prevent imitation and so save
the life of soldier by bringing the
war to an earlier end"
Leon Chatelain, jr., served as pre-
siding officer for the last time before
the presidency is taken over by
Claude w. Owen, vice president.

District PAW Aide Learns He Bred Dog Hero
Mentioned for DSC After Routing Italian Foe

When The Star published recently
Staff Correspondent Thomas r.
Henry's story from Sicily describing
how Chips, an Army dog, had been
recommended for the Distinguished
Service Cross for routing, alone. the
crew of an Italian pillbox, C. C.
Moore, with the Petroleum Admin
istration for War, wondered whether
it was the same Chips he once
owned.
Mr.. Moore appealed to Col. New
bold Ely, in command of K-9 at the
War Department, and the personal
history of the Chips that distin-
guished himself in Sicily was looked
up. 1t was the same dog.
Mr.. Moore, a dog fancier, bred
Chips from mother, Margot Jute,
which was half collie, half German
police dog, and Husky, malamute
whose parents went on one of the
Byrd Antarctic expeditions. This
was at Mr.. Moore's home in Pleas
antville, N. Y.
Gave Dog to Child.
Early in Chips puppyhood, MIR.
Moore gave the dog to 9-year-old
Gail Wren, neighbor. The dog
grew so attached to Gail that, like
Mary's rhymed lamb, he followed
her to school every day. He would
settle himself under her desk, and
efforts to dislodge him were not very
successful. Mr.. Moore recalled that
Gail and her family were Chips
particular proteges-nothing must
happen to them-but other chill
dren were not in the same cate
CORY. n
ut became a problem" Mr.. Moore
explained. IF other children would
romp too hard with Gail or her
little sister, Chips would intervene
He never actually bit anyone, but
he would grab little girls by their
dresses and pull them away, which
scared them plenty. We were afraid
he might bite some one eventually,
and we wondered what to do"
Gail, Proudest Girl in Town.
Gail would not consider parting
with Chips until Mr.. Moore sug-
gested the Army. THAI was differ
ent. The little girl consented read
lily. She hung a star in her bed
room window and was quite proud
of Chips when he went away to
Hicksville, L. I. Later they learned
he had been sent to Front Royal,
Va, for advanced training, and that
was the last they heard until Mr..
Henry's story described the dogs
vigilance and heroism.
HE was always an uncommonly
smart dog" Mr.. Moore said, "and
knew he'd do well in the Army"
And today Gail Wren, having re-
ceived clipping Of the story about
her dog, Is the proudest girl in
Pleasantville.

serted, applications from the pro.
crastinators are coming in at the
rate of 80 to so day, and no diff.
Guilty is anticipated in handling the
applications still outstanding, since
the Is District ration boards have
been current since the early part oi

applications was said to be more
noticeable In residential areas, al
though some applications for othel
than domestic uses still are coming
