MIA Head

Washington, u. C.i ULNS).-As the
nation moves toward full employment
after the war, more and more peOpl,
are likely to choose their cities il
terms of good living conditions an(
the competitive position of American
cities will rest increasingly on the
quality of housing they provide, John
B. BlandfOrd, Jr., administrator of the
National Housing Agency, told the Ma
tiOnal Association of Assessing Officer,
at Des Moines, la.
Since cities also secure large pro
portion of their tax revenues from
residential property, they have a vital
interest in stable values and an orderly
development of their residential sec
tions. BlandfOrd said.
These detectives call for good plan
ming, good ZOning good site develop
ment and good construction" he said.
"WithOut them, decline and deteriOra-
ton are inevitable"
BlandfOrd pointed out that needs
for additional housing to accommodate
returning veterans and the nations
increasing number of families as well
as lOng-delayed replacement of sub
standard dwellings indicate that con-
structiOn of at least 100000 new
housing units year will be required
during the postwar period.
IF we can move up on this postwar
housing goal effectively, we will open
up vast opportunities for employment
and business, at the same time as we
improve living conditions for our citi-
zens, build better neighborhOods, and
develop more stable Cities" he said.

CAB HEARS PLEAS
FROM AIR LINES

WASHINGTON, Sept. OPP
Postwar air service to the United
States possessions of Purto Rico
and the Virgin islands and to the
British possession of Bermuda re-
ceived attention today at the Civil
Aeronautic Board hearing on Latin
American air routes.
American Export Airlines, Inc,
presented its bid for direct flights
to Bermuda and to San Juan, Puer-
to Rico, from New York, following
an appeal by the Interior Depart
ment that additional air service
be established to promote econom-
ic progress of the U. S. possessions.
The Export Company contend
ed that New York, rather than
Miami or any other east coast
center, would be the logical sate-
way for direct flights to Bermuda
and Puerto Rico because of it's
geographical location and greater
community of interests with the
islands.
The Export company has filed
applications for flights to North
and South Africa and for north
Atlantic route. Company spokesman
said, however, that the proposed
service to Bermuda and San Jaun
would be separate flights rather
than stopovers on the Transatlan-
tic routes.
Benjamin w. Thoron, director of
the division of territories and pos
sessions, presented to the board
these interior department recon-
mendations for air service in the
Caribbean:
Direct service between New
York and San Juan; local service
between the Caribbean islands and
the northern coast of South Amer
lea, and intra-island service be-
tween the three main cities Of
Puerto Rico.
Pointing out the Pan-American
anyways provides the only present
air service to the Caribbean islands
Theron urged that competing air
lines be allowed to operate in the
area. He inserted in the hearing
record a statement from Interior
Secretary Ickes praising service
of Pan-America an but declaring ito
continue a monopoly is contrary
to the public interest.
The board also heard Roberto
Sanchez, general manager of the
Puerto Rico Transportation author
ity, testify that Puerto Rico's only
air connection with the mainland,
a Pan-American flight to Miami,
is 900 miles longer than direct
flight form the island to New York
city.
