The released prisoners were re-
ported to be generally in pretty
good condition" The men will be
flown to Calcutta, India.
The first report that the men
were alive was brought to the
United States by 1t Col. Nicol
Smith. an underground operator for
the Office of Strategic Services. Col
Smith learned the news from Maj.
Robert Bartlett of Los Angeles,
commander of the guerrilla station
Col. Smith told the story at press
conference yesterday.
Two emaciated enlisted men of
the Houston's crew carried the word
to a guerrilla training station in
Thailand that several hundred of
their mates were held by the Japa-
nese in jungle prison camps
The Houston was hit by two
eight-inch shells in the battle Of the
Java Sea on February 81, 1912. The
next night she started out from
Tanjong Prick to try to run Soenda
Strait With her was the Australian
cruiser Perth and trailing them was
the Dutch destroyer Evertsen. Last
word from any of the three came
from the Eversten. which reported
she had been caught by two enemy
cruisers and was beaching in sinking
condition.
Can earlier indication that
some of the Houston's survivors
were still alive came last Febru
ary when British and Dutch pris-
oners liberated in the Philippines
reported that 300 Houston sur
vivors had been pressed into
forced labor battalions in the
Burmese jungles.
zone of the liberated men said
he had seen Houston crewmen
working on a Japanese railroad
in November, 1922
Col. Smith said the two enlisted
men escaped from one of the prison
camps and, aided by That's, made
their way to the guerrilla station
They arrived there nearly dead from
privation.
The two said several hundred 9TH
ers had survived three and a hall
years of imprisonment in the remote
iungles of Thailand and Southeast
ern Asia.
The OSS parachuted medicines
supplies and Army cooks into the
guerrilla camp to help the men. Soon
they will be flown out of the jungle
Emphasizing that the figure ol
300 survivors was approximate, Mr.
Smith remarked that ANY one hav.
ing relatives on the crew of the
Houston can be very optimistic

Home Builders Urue
Protest 10 Truman
On Continued Curbs
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

ny NALCoLM LAMbORNE, JT.
The dispute over lifting all
controls on private building took
a new turn today as the National
Association of Home Builders
urged its member groups in 100
cities to protest to President
Truman against proposals by
some Government officials to
continue price controls on new
construction during the recon-
version period.
Both the Office of Price Admin
stration and National Housing Agen-
cy have been accused by the build
ers' group of wanting to place re-
strictions on postwar construction
which would be tighter than those
exercised during the war.
One proposal under official study
Is to drop the present $1,000 ceiling
on new homes and substitute a CELL
ing as high as $4,000. Private
builders want no strings attached
when the War Production Board
construction order finally is lifted.
1t may be weeks, however, before
the issue is settled
Wins First Round.
The OPA, meanwhile, appeared
to have won the first round in a
dispute with retailers who yesterday
went on record against OPA's ''un-
sound and inequitable" reconver-
sion pricing policy, particularly on
absorption of price increases by
merchants.
A retailers committee met with
Price Administrator BowleS yeSter-
day and urged more goods be re-
moved from price control and sought
a more liberal price policy.
Mr.. Bowles said OPA did not plan
to retain price controls as long as
retailers evidently believed, and
that the list of items to be taken off
price control has grown since the
committee made its report. The price
chief promised recently that an
other $50 items would be removed
from price control soon.
The committee urged these Speci-
fic changes:
l. Adoption of a broad and real
istic' policy of dropping price CELL
ings on nonessential goods.
2. An immediate end to the maxi
mum average price plan, which ap-
piled mainly to clothing and pre-
vented seller from charging
higher average price for all the gar
ments he handled than the average
he charged in 1943
g. Elimination of all pricing meth
DDS which are based on industry
wide averages of costs or earnings.
4. Urged economic pricing"
which would show profit at all
levels of trade so as to asuure the
largest possible production and
sales.
OPA is pledged to see that the
prices of consumer durable goods
coming on the market in the months
ahead are held to 1912 levels.
The agency also disclosed yester-
day that it was extending it's dollar
and-cents ceiling tag clothing pro-
gram to rayon and wool garments
this fall. Many cotton clothes al
ready are under the program. which
was announced months ago by OPA
and the War Production Board The
latter grants priority assistance to
manufacturers who agree to turn
out low-priced clothing.
WPB removed controls yesterday
on the use of scrap and reclaimed
rubber and said this would mean
plenty Of children's rubber toys and
such household itemssas rubber bath
mats and bottle shoppers.
