Builders Association
Again Urges NCHA
To Grant Priorities

Insisting there is no need to build
TAO additional housing units with
public funds at this time, the Metro
politan Builders Association yester-
day renewed its demand that build
ing priorities now held by the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority be
transferred to private builders.
At the same time, the association
called on the NCHA to start pro.
viding for the estimated 4,50O ten
ants who must, by law, move out of
existing slums on or before next
July /. The association contended
these persons could move into va
cancies In NCHA housing projects
If the Government agency continued
to graduate" more prosperous ten
ants. whose incomes would enable
them to live in private units.
\ TT is hoped that the NCHA will
see that its duty is to continue to
graduate more prosperous tenants
as quickly as 1t can rehabilitate the
slum dwellers and get them back
to point where they are self
supporting citizens, assets instead
of liabilities, and not requiring the
subsidy of public housing" the as
sociation stated through it's execu-
tive director, N. c. Hines.
"The local builders would like to
know why, With existing vacancies
in public housing IN the District,
it is necessary to build TAO addi-
tional housing units with public
funds at this time; remembering,
of course, that these units are not
slum-clearance units, but low-cost
units" the association statement
continued.
Recently Representative Hebert,
Democrat. Of Louisiana asked the
National Housing Authority to turn
over the TAO priorities to the build
ers. Replying to this suggestion,
John H. Blandford, jr.. national
housing administrator, said priori-
ties would be granted to those
builders willing to give firm COM
mitments" as to quality. size and
speed at which they will construct
the units. Mr.. Blandford said the
rentals could not exceed $35
month.

Stringent New Steps

LONDON, April 12.-Stringen
new steps to isolate Fire from tn,

peeking post for Axis agents arr
expected in the light of Allied de,
termination to pursue policy O
safety first in dealing with tn,
neutral nations, it was learned las
night
Although official quarters are silen
on the next move, it is likely tha'

and communications between Eng.
land and Ireland will be made ever
tighter and perhaps even be accom-.
panied by virtual blockade as in
vasion day approaches.
Steps Weighed Carefully.
The American and British civi
and military high commands art
weighing each step carefully to pre-
vent bruising the feelings of neutra
nations wherever possible, but the
basic policy in that field is to be
dictated by the desire to prevent
a waste OF lives.
Such a policy was emphasized
in Commons by Prime Minister
Churchill in discussing the closing
of the Irish border and was re-
iterated by Secretary of State Hull
in his radio address Sunday. 1t will
serve as a signpost for Undersecre-
tary of State Edward r. Stettinius
jr., while he is here discussing with
the British issues affecting the
neutrals.
If Fire persists in her refusal to
end diplomatic relations with the
Axis, it is logical to assume that the
Allies will 60 step further and
plug the places of possible seepage
which remain.

15Mi|lion in Pay Rise,
Approved by WLB in
3 Eastern 5hipyards

By the Associated Press
Workers in three large East Coast
shipyards were slated today to re-
ceive pay increases totaling about
SIS 10000 as a result of wage ad-
justments in certain categories ap-
proved by the War Labor Boards
shipbuilding commission. It was
estimated that approximately SO per
cent of the laborers in these plants
will be affected by the decision.
Raises will average to 5 cents an
hour.
The yards affected by the decision
are those of the New York Ship
building Co., Camden, N. j.: the
Maryland Dry Dock Co. Baltimore,
and the Federal Shipbuilding &
Dry Dock Co., Kearny, N. j.
May Affect Others.
From a broader viewpoint, how
ever, the decision was seen as estab-
fishing pattern for job reclassiflca-
tion at higher pay which may bene-
fit workers In go shipyards scattered
from Maine to Georgia Industry
members of the commission dis
sented from the decision, calling it
an 'ill-concealed" grant of wage
increases which violated both the
letter and the spirit" of the Stabili-
zation Act.
The commission previously had
denied a general wage increase in
shipbuilding yards as inadmissible
under the Little Steel" formula.
The adjustments approved, it was
announced, are designed to correct
inequalities in pay and stabilize the
general wage scale in East Coast
shipyards.
The $15,O00, 900 figure on incresed
wage costs is based on estimates Of
Government agencies.
New Classifications.
The decision retains the standard
first-class mechanic rate at $120
an hour. but in few instances al
lows creation of new classifications
at premium rates.
The commission denied the CIO
Marine and Shipbuilding Workers
Unions request for laborer's rate
of 80 cents an hour. The existing
labor rate paid by all but q few
yards was retained. This is 80Ha
cents an hour in Baltimore and the
North, and "a cents south of Balti-
more.
In the helper classification the
commission authorized rates rang
ing from So cents for third class,
south of Baltimore, to SO cents first
class, north of Baltimore. The flrst-
class helper rates in the Delaware
River Basin and north to Maine now
range from 80 cents to 81 an hour
In Baltimore the range is 81 to SO
cents, and south of Baltimore the
principal rates range from rs to 86
cents an hour.
