Home Building Seen
Cheaper After War

Through Standardization OF build
ing specifications postwar homes
would be cheaper, J. w. Follin, man
aging director Of the Producers
Council, stated here today. This
would eliminate much waste In
construction by reducing the amount
Of cutting and fitting needed.
Adoption OF dimensional CO.
ordination on an industry wide
basis means simplification Of de-
sign, greater speed in construction,
reduction in the size of invan-
tories, which must be carried by
manufacturers and distributors Of
building products, and substantial
savings in both materials and labor,
all of which ultimately will con-
tribute to lower construction costs, "

Properly Conversions
To Provide Homes
For 10000 Families

Property leases for publicly
financed conversion into greater iv-
ing quarter capacity will provide
accommodations nationally for 40,-
900 families Of Immigrant workers
in war industry areas, Philip M
Klutznick, assistant administrator OF
the National Housing Agency, re-
ported today. He added that close
to half Of these units have been
completed.
This type Of building conversion
will supplement new construction
and conserve critical materials and
manpower, he said. The program
has been under way more than six
months.
Under the privately financed
phase Of the program, quotas have
been established for 28,s45 units. OF
this total, about $500 units are COM
pleted and about 5000 are under
construction.
Property owners willing to convert
with their own funds or with the
assistance of private financing in
stitutions are assisted in every way,
Mr.. Klutznick said. They can get
an FHA loan up to 5000, payable
in monthly installments over periods
up to seven years. Materials can be
obtained on an equal basis with pub
licly financed projects, through pref
erence ratings processed through
local FILA onices.
Owner Paid Rent.
Under the publicly financed phases
OF the program, the Home Owners
Loan Corp. leases suitable structures
in critical war housing areas for a
period Of seven years. The Govern
ment pays the owner a rental, takes
over tax and mortgage payments, If
any. and converts and manages the
property. The conversion cost is
amortized from the rentals paid by
the war-worker tenants.
THE conversion of existing struc-
lures into additional units effects
substantial savings in cost, critical
materials and time" Mr.. Klutznick
pointed out. Permanent new hous-
ing costs about $4,50O per dwelling
unit, and temporary units about
e2,700, while the average construc-
tion cost Of a converted unit in the
publicly financed program is about
$500.
Average savings in critical mate
rials for converted units are about
one-third as compared with new
temporary construction, and savings
In time required for completion are
about so per cent"
Under the conversion program of
the Federal Public Housing Author
ity, which Is restricted primarily
to dormitory accommodations for
single workers, provision is being
made for a total of 4,280 dormitory
units in IS separate projects, and
1,096 family dwelling units in 18 sep
arate projects.
As compared with the cost of new
projects, savings of approximately
81 per cent are made in these dormi-
tory units and of about As per cent
In the family units. Savings in
critical material amounts to 70 per
cent in metals and rs per cent in
lumber for the converted dormitories
and 56 per cent in metals and 63 per
cent in lumber on the family units.
Savings in time of completion for
these projects as compared with new
construction is approximately two
and half months.

Pro Football 1914 Records

Chicago, Dec. 14-(SpeciaD- D-Na- tional Football league teams wound up their regular schedule with new major league record for num- Der of plays. In fifty contests, the ten clubs of the league averaged 153 plays per game, two more than the previous high set in 1943.
 Other team records set in the 50 game schedule included:
 A new high of .568 n passing, set by the Washington Redskins on ITO compilations in 299 attempts. The Redskins set the old record in 1943 with mark of .547 =" 138 comple- tions in 254 attempts.
 The Card-Pitt combine, which failed to win a game, got in on the record breaking when it had Al passes intercepted, two more than the Cardinals record high last year.
 The Chicago Bears rang up new marks for penalties with 121 in ten games and also for yards penalized when they were set back 1925 yards.
 Philadelphia's Eagles provided the fifth record performance when they recovered on four of their oppon- ents' 29 fumbles. This was two less than the mark hung up by Brooklyn in 1899 and tied by the Bears last year.
 Green Bay, the New York Giants opponent in the worli championship game next week, further rewrote the record on fumbles when it miscued only eleven times during the season.

 Pick For Trophy
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

New York boxing writers, in voting Benny Leonard, former worlds lightweight champion, the Edward J. Neil Memorial Trophy as "the man who has done most for boxing in 1944" have pulled the biggest BONER, since Adam ate the APPLE in the Garden of Eden. The reason for the choice seems to be even more ridiculous; for the former champ, who can't get referees license in Connecticut since the Mann-McCoy bout in Bridgeport; hasn't been out of New York since the war started; having recently been promoted to rank of lieuten- ant-commander in the Maratime Service; while lads like Midget Smith, World War I veteran was overseas in this one, too. It is pos- sible that New York boxing writers do not know Leonard has been bar red for life in this state, because of his work at Bridgeport. He has con- sistently tried to get that BLACK MARK removed from his name, but never will while Commissioner Frank Coskey is in office, according to the athletic commission chairman. :. Gene Tunney, also a World War I veteran and front-line fighter has done great job for the Navy in this war; so has Joe Louis and Billy Conn and others. Eut Benny Leo nard has taken very good care of Benny Leonard, as usual, for which one can't hate himself -perserva- tion being the first law of nature but as for doing t, e most for BOX ING in 1944-Jeeves, fetch the DE- ODORANT! It's enough to make Eddie Neil, great writer, turn over in his grave.

Boston 'Brushoff' For Basketball

Boston, Dec. IA = (U.P0 =. Col legiate basketball made it's debut at Boston Garden last night before an extremely sparse audience of 3,341 and today the fans were agreed that there's plenty of spade work to be done before the game becomes 8 big time sport here.

To keep the crowds interest at fever pitch, the promoters also added a game between Boys Clubs from South Boston and Charlestown In this abbreviated contest South Boston won 10-7.
 The teams from Bates and Union were little more impressive than a good high school quintet, while the principal interest in the second con- test was the action of Morehead's s All-American Forward Warren Cooper who maintained his three year average of 20 points per game. He sank nine goals and two fouls.
