WPB LIFTS BAN
ON AMMUNITION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 90 Up -
The ban on sale of ammunition
to hunters was lifted today by the
War Production Board, opening the
way for the Nimrods' first real
season since the war began.
At the. same time, WPB also
boosted quotas Of ammunition for
farmers and ranchers to use
against predatory animals.
Ammunition production this
year is expected to be about g.
percent of pre- war output, WPB
said. Chairman Robertson DIVA. }
of the House Conservation Com
mittee, estimated that between 49,.
100000 and 50O,0O0,000 shotgun
shells will be offered for sale and
said an adequate" supply of rifle
cartridges will be available.
Until December 81, farmers and
ranchers and hunters will have the
following quarterly quota: 15C
rounds of 20 caliber rim fire
cartridges, 40 rounds of center-fire
rifle ammunition Cor so rounds il
customarily packaged so to box,
and 100 shotgun shells of any
guage.
The previous quarterly quota fo1
farmers and ranchers was 10(
rounds of 2 rim fire cartridges
40 rounds of center fire ammunition
and Is shotgun shells.
The, entire quota need not be pur
chased at one time. Before an
sale of ammunition is made, tn
purchaser must sign a certificat
!, stating that he is entitled to tn
ammunition. Sellers are require
to keep complete records of ir
ventories and sales, including tn
certificates. -
The WPB said recently that tn
temporary removal of the ban O.
ammunition sales to hunters wa
prompted because animals an
, birds were causing widespread de
struction to crops and livestock i
all sections of the country.

Builders Accused.
Sitting in on the housing battle
for the last six months reporters
heard repeated accusations that
private builders were not interested
In building for the low-income
group. Too little site and COM
munity planning was done in an ef-
fort to acquire income from every
foot of building space, so that shop
ping and recreation facilities were
practically non-existent.
1t is noteworthy that in going
over the plans and specifications as
we'll as the site for the above men,
toned Fort Barnard project, for
colored, and the Trenton Terrace
project for white occupancy, that
site and community planning has
equal consideration with good in

One Of the better "cloSe-in" areas,
this little valley has been sparsely
settled by colored people for many
years. Abruptly falling land, neces-
stating expensive grading and f1n-

excellent job OF site planning for
the project, keeping q high wooded
knoll intact, set aside for play and
park area. From this knoll the hill
side has been graded, the valley
filled, streets laid on a gentle curve,
houses designed on two levels to fit
the terrain. with the result that
every home in the project will have
easy access to garden, car parking
areas, playground and through
