BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

TO q former Assistant District
Engineer Commissioner who wres-
tied with Washington's sewage prob
lem in prewar years was intrusted
the key job of bringing across ex-
posed Normandy beaches the count
less tons of fighting equipment and
supplies for American forces in that
first tough month of the invasion.
He is Brig. Gen. Don G. Shingler,
recalled here as most likeable and
efficient captain of engineers, who
proved his wartime worth in sue
cessfully handling two of the hardest
tasks of their kind in keeping sup
plies rolling to both Russian and
American fighting men.
Until he was the victim OF what
he calls an industrial accident" in
France, Gen. Shingler was chief of
the amphibious section of the 1st
American Army. Due largely to his
initial efforts, in no time at all
after June 6 D-day, vital supplies
rolling across the beaches each day
equaled the tonnage of the COM
bined peacetime imports of such
great ports as Philadelphia and
Baltimore. They kept coming wnen
most needed and today in even
greater amounts, now that ports
are available, the supplies are keep
ing pace with the swift moving
Allied armies penetrating to the
German border.
Run Down by Truck.
Recovered from a severe back
injury when run down by an Army
truck, Gen. Shingler has returned to
Washington and told about the job
of the anaphibious forces at a PEN
tagon press conference yesterday
afternoon. On his blouse he wears,
among campaign badges. the rib
bons of the Legion of Merit, the Or
der of the British Empire and Rus
sia's Order of Kutuzov, Second Glass,
for performance of outstanding
services" in the Iran-Iraq area dur
ing 1912.
His job in Iran, quite different
from his task in Normandy, was
one of constructing the highway
from the Persian Gulf to Russia, of
reconstructing the Trans-Iranian
Railroad to handle the new heavy

Naval Consulting Attorney
Retired After 40 Years

George Melting, 2061 Park road
NV. consulting attorney in the
office of the Navy Judge Advocate
General since 1926, has been re-
tired after more than 40 years of
Federal service, the Navy an
nounced today.
He Is the author of two editions
of Laws Relating to the Navy
Annotated which are used extern
sively throughout the naval SER
vice. In referring to the first of
these publications while in the
process of compilation, the then
Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, stated be-
fore a congressional committee:
This man Melting has been en-
gagged on the compilation and cod
lflcation of all the naval laws of
the United States, pursuant to a
Senate resolution, and that will be
the textbook that will be a stand
ard for great many years, and as
a result of doing that work he has
become of special value to the de-
partment, and he knows more
about it than any other living man"
Mr.. Mellings retirement was ne
cessitated because OF i'll health, the
Navy announced.

Avoids Detail On Devices.
New devices for unloading craft
on the beaches as well as in ports
have been mentioned by War De-
partment officials but Gen. Shingler
carefully avoided details.
Despite all the developments of
amphibious landings, he declared
landing on any enemy exposed
beach is dynamite. Amphibious
experts are we'll satisfied with the
increasingly efficient methods of
such operations, it was said, but
are constantly seeking new devices
and improved methods. The con-
servation> of manpower is the main
objective.
Job for Engineers.
The Navy was responsible for
bringing men and supplies across
the Channel and after that it was
job for the engineers. Enemy re-
sistance at some Ut the beaches,
Gen. Shingler. said, was not over

Billion Annual Volume
In Building Repairs :
Seen After War

All records for repair and main
tenance Of homes, excluding farm
residences, will be broken during the
first six years after the war with
the total volume exceeding $6,00O,-
100000, according to a survey pre-
pared by the Producers Council
national organization of manufac-
turers of building supplies and ma
terials.
In the 5-year period starting IL
months after the war ends, when
ample supplies Of building products
and Of labor will be available, ex-
penditures for home repairs and i'm
provements are expected to average
about $1,100,000,0 900 annually, as
home owners catch up with repair
work which has had to be postponed
because Of restrictions on the use
of building materials and shortages
of labor during the war period" ac-
cording to James w. Follin, the
Councils managing director.
The value of residential repairs
during this period will average about
40 per cent greater than in the
five prewar years, 1936-40, and will
be more than twice as high as in
the five-year period which followed
the World War.
In the first postwar year, how
ever, the volume Of residential re-
pair and maintenance is expected to
total about 100000, 900, or slightly
less than the record of 1927 900 900
set In 1912, owing to the fact that
urgently needed new construction
will take large share of the avail
able manpower and materials.
Thus. some home owners deSir-
Ing new roofs,' modern heating
plants, improved plumbing systems,
and other major repairs will I've
obliged to wait after the end fof
the war before they can improve
their properties.
Residential repairs and mainte-
nance are expected to provide post
war employment for many thou
sands of workers released from the
armed services and from war plants.
Total employment in postwar resi-
dental building, including both new
construction and repairs, will be
greater than ever before, according
to the councils Market Analysis
Committee, which has estimated
that a total of 100000 new nom
farm dwelling units will be built by
private enterprise during the first
six postwar wears"

there was no proof that the ma

Nelson Queries Staff Chiefs
About Munitions Stockpiles

Washington, Aug. 10-AP-Top
commanders Of the Army and Navy
were face-to-face today with an
unprecedented request from Pro-
duction Chief Donald NJ. Nelson
that they take a look at munitions
ock.piles and decide whether the
Army should not cut production in
some items.
Nelson made the challenge by
pulling a controversial, suppressed
report on Army ordnance out OF a
pigeonhole and sending it to the
joint chiefs of staff - Admiral
Leahy, General Marshall, Admiral
King, and General Arnold.
He issued a statement last night
saying he did 1t so they can de-
termine whether the adequacy Of
certain Army stocks is such that
modification of some procurement
programs may be available"
Meantime the Senate War Inves-
tigating Committee showed an int
crest in the suppressed document,
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich.) saying
he thought the committee ought to
see II. He asked committee lawy-
ers to look into the matter.

not been accepted, and there were
