In Rounding Up Deserfers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 30. The Red
Army has asked American and Brit
ish forces to help round up its de-
serters, who have become a plague
on the countryside in many in
stances, an American Military Gov
ernment officer said yesterday.
Thesoff1cer said the Russians have
"a pretty terrific" rate of desertion
and said the deserters and renegade
Russians who fought with Germany
are responsible for a large part oil
the offenses charged against the
Soviet Army.
American investigators ascribed
the Russian desertion problem to
the Red Armys loose record system
and the fact that many Russians
find conditions in Western Europe
more attractive than at home and
"iust take of to get into our zones
and try to stay there"
Declaring these footloose ele-
1nents are a headache to all sides,
the officer said, I'VE are grabbing

Veterans Priorities
For Home Building
Proposed by Lesinski

Veterans who want to build their
own homes would be given top
priority over all prospective home
owners under a proposal by Rep
resentative Lesinski, Democrat, of
Michigan, which also calls for the
Government to place the War Pro-
duction Board construction order
back in operation.
Mr.. Lesinski made the suggestion
in House speech yesterday during
which he sharply criticized Recon-
version Director Snyder for backing
the real estate and building inter-
ests In their efforts to have all con-
trolls on the industry eliminated.
Mr.. Lesinski would set monthly
quotas of the amount OF building
materials available in various
regions of the country and would
require retail distributors to give
preference to veterans, followed by
other individuals, small business
men and small contractors. What
was left over each month would be
made available to large contractors
and real estate operators.
Builders to Hear BowIes.
He would have WPB's L-4l order
restored to operation and thus es-
tablish ceilings on new homes, a
procedure followed during the war
for limited home building.
Meanwhile, Price Administrator
Bowles was to address a closed
meeting today of the National AS
sociation of Home Builders in the
second session Of three daily "emer-
gency meetings at the Hotel
Statler.

rion to combat the Bowles drive
for home price ceilings by substitut-
ing voluntary "hold the home
price line" campaign Of a national
scale. All sessions will be closed
the association said.
Blandford Also to Speak.
John B. Blandford, jr.. national
housing administrator. also was to
