To Supply Evidence
On Priority Racket
Housing Chief Promises
Prompt Action in Case
Irregularities Are Shown
BY DON S. WARREN.

National Housing Administrator
John B. Blandford, jr., today de-
clared there is no reason at all
for anybody to pay an priority holder
anything for his right to build low.
cost war housing.
Reacting to charges by Represent
ative Smith, Democrat, of Virginia,
that some so-called builders who
have "cornered" low-cost housing
priorities are selling them for as
much as S100 house to legitimate
builders, Mr.. Blandford told The
Star his agency would take prompt
action in any case in which evidence
was offered.
IF Representative Smith or any
one has evidence" he said, I'VE will
be glad to receive it. In an obvious
case there is an answer: First, to
withdraw the outstanding priorities
involved and second, to ask the War
Production Board to start the prose-
cution machineryS
Main Job Is to Provide.
Mr.. Blandford added: Our main
job now is the provision of needed
loW-cost housing for war workers,
particularly for colored families,
rather than the business of policing.
But We have not been sleeping on
that situation, either. We have been
watching it for the past three or
four years, and making such checks
as conditions of time and staff per-
init.
After all, while We have found
some irregularities in use of prior
tiles, we have placed emphasis on
the constructive side of the picture.
and have built more than 1000 900
housing units in some 1000 cities"
Mr.. Blandford denied that de-
lays in use of granted housing
prlorlties indicated anything i'm
proper. Some prospective builders.
he said. had over-reached, some en-
countered neighborhood opposition,
some had difficulties in obtaining
sites, and some had trouble with
zoning regulations.
II any legitimate builder wants
to build low-cost housing for war
workers where it is needed, he need
not pay anybody anything for the
right. With the approval of WPB
outstanding priorities can be can
celled, or additional builders can be
given priorities if they can turn
out needed housing at rent levels
meeting the situation"
Smith Tells of Protest.
Representative Smith said he had
protested to an official of the MIA
after receiving information about
the racket" and that he was told
the agency knew about the alleged
priority sales but had no way to
stop it.
Mr., Smith said the practice has
delayed war housing in this area,
at the expense of the legitimate
industry and low-income families
who thereby were deprived of de-
cent living quarters.
There was no indication from
either the executive or legislative
branches as to how extensive the
reported racket" might be

The Navy and Army Air Forces
now have enough flight instructor.
without training more through civil
ian agencies.
Therefore, the Civil Aeronautics
Administration said today. 1t is dis
continuing the training OF instruc-
tors by its war training service.
The Army Air Forces told the CAA
the shift Of emphasis from the train
ing of large numbers Of men needed
for the initial manning Of the All
Forces to the training OF those
needed for requirements has reduced
the need for the training Of addi.
tional flight instructors.
"The current production rate OF
pilots being trained in the training
establishments of the AAF, plus
those who are being returned from
war theaters after having COM
pleted their tour in combat, is suf-
flcient to meet the needs Of the
AAF," the announcement said.
The Navy said the CAA training
facilities 1t has used would be aban-
doned this summer and the activi-
ties centralized at Navy fields.
The Navy said its training facil.
tiles have expanded sufficiently tc
permit the Navy to perform all o1

The war dogs of the 1st Marine
Corps-so alert that they can
flush" Jap snipers in trees. SO eff
cient that they have spotted ma
chine-gun nests 100 yards away
were adjudged an unqualified sue
cess" in their first combat trial at
Bougainville Island, according to
reports received at Marine Corps
headquarters here from command
ing officers in the war area.
Although the dog platoon was "ad-
mittedly experimental, it has proven
itself beyond any doubt" reports
continue, and Marine officials said
yesterday that the dogs actions in
combat have far exceeded expec-
tations.
AS a result of information from
the Bougainville test, two platoons
on the West Coast already have
completed training and two platoons
of So dogs each are in training at
New River, N. c.
At Sea Almost Month.
The first platoon, made up Of 81
Doberman pinschers and 3 German
shepherds, joined the I'd Marine
Raider Regiment during the No
Nember raid on Bougainville. AL
though they had been at sea almost
month, the dogs went into imme-
diate combat and their highly de-
veloped senses saved innumerable
lives in the island jungle.
Jack, a Doberman, indicated to
his handler all through one night
that there was danger in a nearby
tree. With the first light of day,
Marine snipers were able to discern
a Jap sniper in the tree. He was
disposed of before he could use his
rifle.
A German shepherd, wounded in
the back, carried word to main
forces that his company had been
struck by Japs. Lines had been cut
and the arrival of aid and medical
care depended on the dogs getting
through. He did.
Working on reconnaissance pa
troll, Otto, Doberman, alerted the
position of machine-gun nest 100
Yards away and his patrol was able
to take cover before firing began.
The dog-training program of the
Marine Corps is under the command
of 1t. Clyde A. Henderson, Beck
vile, Ohio. 1t. Henderson formerly
was dog-show judge and chairman
of the Doberman Pinscher Club of
America.
Rigorous Training.
After induction" the dogs Sc
lected go to New River for as rigor-
Gus a course of training as any boot
ever endured. They are taught in
dividual and group obedience, taking
of obstacles, crawling through and
over barbed wire and that seemingly
essential business of crawling
through drainage pipes.
They are matched with handlers
who can read" them, and dog and
man then are trained together
Some dogs break when they go into
actual combat, but 1t. Henderson's
reports indicate that nervous dogs
can be eliminated before they reach
battle zones.
There is story of valor for each
Of the "a dogs on Bougainville who
fought on the front line from the
beginning of hostilities until their
battalion was relieved.
Following tradition, the Marine
Corps would not release news on its
four legged scouts until all former
owners had been notified of their
meritorious conduct and the state
of their health
