Bldndford Asks Assurance
On Clearing War HOUSING

John B. Blandford asked Congress
yesterday for assurance that tenn

after the return of peace.
Temporary war housing has been
built according to standards that
are not suitable for postwar use" he
told a Senate Military Affairs Sub
committee studying industrial de-
mobilization legislation. ITO leave
this housing standing, even where
not injurious to any industry, would
be injurious to the community
involved"
Mr.. Blandford said the Lanham

Horne Believes Nazis
Will Still Be in War
Al End Of This Year
BY the Associated Press.

Vice Admiral F. J. Horne, second
in command to Admiral Ernest j..
King, chief of naval operations, be-
lieves Germany will still be on her
feet, however groggy, at the end
of this year.
Admiral Horne expressed doubt
that the European war would be
over IN 1914 when he testified before
the House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee which handled the Navy's
record budget for the next fiscal
year. The testimony was released
today.
Speaking in behalf of the huge
estimates he told the committee
that the Navy had taken into ac-
count "the possibility of successful
conclusion of the war in Europe this
year"
Single Command Studied.
Il would like to interpolate
there" he said, however, that l do
not believe it but that is what our
plans are based on"
Admiral King himself, in his ap-
pearance before the committee,
made no such conjecture. but did
disclose that the joint chiefs Of
staff have under study" a pro-
posal to set up one single national
department Of defense to replace
the Army and the Navy. This could
not be done in wartime, but 'it has
been under study for some time
in the past and it will continue
that way" he asserted.
Admiral King forecast that the
Navy would reach its peak this year
and discussing the Pacific observed
that the Japanese strategy has
been comparatively simple"
Hope to Hold Inner Gains.
I'm the first few months" he
said, "the Japanese overran large
areas in the Far East. If they
succeed in retaining possession of
the inner portion of those areas
they will have won the war. The
outer ring of islands which they oc-
cupy serve chiefly as fighting fronts,
where they hope to make our ad-
vances SO costly that we will give
up the effort"
The Navy, nevertheless, looks on
the japanese positions now as only
difficulties which are things to be
overcome" and nothing short of
destruction of the Japanese EN-
pire" will suffice.

Wal|aoe's Trip Plans
Sir Vice Presidential
Boom for Truman
By the Associated Press.

The stock of Senator Truman,
Democrat, of Missouri as a possible
Democratic vice presidential nomi-
nee doomed today as politicians
speculated whether Vice President
wallace was taken himself out of
the race under orders.
The Vice President, In a cryptic
@-word statement handed report

would represent President Roosevelt
Mr.. Wallace himself lodged ques-
lions on his plans, only telling re-
porters:
~I authorized an announcement
last night that I hope to visit
Chungking in the late spring or early
summer. Anything printed in ad-
dition to that is not true"
Senators Puzzled.
At loss to understand the necessity
Of such a trip at this time, some
members of the Senate Speculated
Immediately that Mr.. Wallace was
being asked to absent himself so
that another might be picked for
second place on the Democratic
ticket at the party convention in
Chicago July 19.
This would be about the time Mr..
Wallace said the visit to China is
planned and politicians pointed out
that if President Roosevelt seeks a
fourth term and desires another
running mate it would be less en-
barrassing all around to make the
change while Mr.. Wallace was 5000
miles away.
This brought into bold relief the
prospective candidacy of Senator
