u. S. Chamber Asks
End of All Controls
On Construction
BY MALCOLM LAMBoRNE, Jr

ny MALCOLM LAMbOHNE, Jr
Top Government officials have
been asked to appear before the
Complaints Subcommittee of the
Senate Small Business Commit
tee tomorrow as the group opens
a full inquiry into the growing
controversy over postwar COM
mercial and private construc-
ton, it was learned today.
The committee, planning three
day hearing on the problem, ex-
poets to hear from Reconversion Di-
rector Snyder, Hugh Potter, head
Of an inter-agency committee on
construction under Mr.. Snyder; +;
WPB Chairman Krug, Economic
Sterilization Director Davis and
Price Administrator Bowles.
Oficials of the Federal Works
Agency, National Housing Agency
Federal Housing Administration and
labor groups will be heard Wednes-
day. Commercial and residential
builders and heads of building or
ganizations will testify Thursday.
Meanwhile, the United States
Chamber of Commerce called for
immediate lifting of all controls on
building.
WPB controls on residential and
commercial building should be
dropped now, the chamber said, be-
cause OF the time required to make
decisions to proceed with building
to acquire real estate and to pre-
pare blueprints.
The chamber also proposed that
the OPA drop its efforts to put CELL
ing prices on new homes.
Delay has been encountered in
doing away with WPB's L-41 order
which halted virtually all except es-
sential construction, because of q
split in views among Government
authorities. One group would like
to see all controls lifted and the in
dustry given free hand to turn out
unlimited units. Another group
which includes the OPA and MIA
advices that rent control be con-
tinued, building materials be kept
under price control and new homes
be limited to a set price.
This latter group feels that un-
restricted building would lead to q
scramble for materials, would force
up rentals until enough new homes
were built to take up the slack and
would generally be an tionary
threat.
The Senate Small Business Com.
mittee issued a report over the week
end criticizing OWMR for not hav-
ing established q clear-cut policy
for construction during the recon-
version period" and declaring that
the Potter Committee has been
largely Intellectual and has not yet
come forward with recommends
tions as to when LII ." should
be lifted"
WPB last night lifted inventory
controls from more than a score OF
industrial materials and equipment
items.
Among equipment added to the
restriction-free lists were asbestos
building materials, gauges, incan-
descent lamps, and mechanics, hand
service tools.

For Continuance

A storm on the child care front
broke in Washington today with q
report that Gen. Philip B. Fleming,
Federal Works administrator, rec
commended before a congressional
committee that Congress order the
closing of all Federally sponsored
child care centers Immediately.
Gen. Fleming refused to comment.
He said that when he appeared be-
fore the House Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee last week
Chairman Lanham asked every one
present not to divulge what was said.
At the request Of President Tru-
man, Gen. Fleming, who previously
ordered the program liquidated by
October 81, presented to the COM
mittee survey on the number Of
wives and widows of servicemen
with children in the centers.
Another Meeting Thursday.
A spokesman for him said then
that the general made mo recon-
mendations But today the spokes-
man emphasized that the hearing
was supposed to be secret and said
Gen. Fleming told him nothing Of
what happened. The committee is
scheduled to meet again in execu-
tive session Thursday to consider the
question Of authorizing continuance
OF the program.
Mrs. Clyde Hunt, chairman of the
District Parents Committee for
Child Care. said she was told what
Gen. Fleming said to a person who
was there. Miss Josephine Starr,
secretary of the Citizens Committee
on Day Care Centers, also said she
had 1t on the best of authority"
Gen. Fleming was quoted as saying
that attendance has fallen of and
that it would be too difficult not to
show partiality in deciding what
centers to keep open.
Citizens to Ask Hearing.
The District Citizens Committee
announced today that it will ask
hearing before the House Commit
tee to request that the Nationwide
program be kept in operation until
June 80, 1916.
In public statement, the Rev.
Francis McPeek, chairman of the
committee, said that the proposed
closing on October 81 docs not give
time for orderly reconversion to
peacetime plans which President
Truman considers generally desir-
able in the Goyernmnt and other
essential activity"
Mothers cannot make the plans
for little children hastily" he added.
On the basis Of information gathered
from many parts of the country, the
committee requests the continuance
of the program until the end OF the
| fiscal year to give local communities
time to plan what centers should
be continued and under. what aus
pices."
No Substitutes Found.
Mrs. Hunt said that an investiga.
ton by her committee shows there
are absolutely no available substi-
tutes for the program. She pointed
out that Lanham Act funds will be
used through June 80 to aid public
schools in war congested areas.
The FWA has other Lanham Act
funds available for continuance Of
the child care centers and all that
is necessary is congressional author
ization for their expenditure, she
emphasized.

DDT Can Erase
Malaria Threat,
Dr.. Parran Says
CIV Medical Student.
Warned tuberculosis
Outbreak Is on Way

DR.. Thomas Parran. Surgeon Gen
eral Of the Public Health Service,
predicted today that If current ma
laria techniques with DDT are con-
tinued on a broad scale, malaria
can be eradicated in this country.
This prediction came in a speech
delivered at exercises opening the
122d academic session of the George
Washington University School of
Medicine.
While predicting that malaria
probably would be controlled, DR..
Parran warned that materially in
creased facilities for the detection
and control of tuberculosis would
have to be provided in the postwar
era.
DR.. Parran said he expects thou
sands of returning veterans, exposed
to tuberculosis abroad, to break
down with the disease and spread 1t
to their families.
Miracle in Health.
In commenting on national health
DR.. Parran said that we have been
spared devastating epidemic dur
Ing the war. is nothing short of a
miracle" He added that he re-
ferred specifically to influenza, for
which medical science still has no
cure.
He said public health officials
and armed services throughout the
war hold to public health gains,
despite the fact that meningitis
showed the highest incidence on
record, infantile paralysis was on
the increase and scarlet fever
reached epidemic proportions. He
added that syphilis had been held
to an incidence of 200 900 cases and
that there had been no general rise
in tuberculosis.
DR.. Parran said it is difiicult to
see the public health problems OF
the postwar area, but that all con-
cerned with the health of the Ma
ton must plan now to keep recon-
version on the national health front

He said that in the postwar era
State and local governments must
play larger part in providing equal
opportunity for all for better health
The exercises today were attended
by a large group of leaders in the
public health field, including the
surgeons general of the Army and
Navy and many of their assistants.
DR.. Parran and other guests were
entertained at luncheon, after the
exercises, by Dean Walter A. Bloc

Mayf1ower Hotel.
During the exercises, freshmen at
the school Of medicine, as well as
those in other classes, members OF

speech by DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin

Headquarters Issues
New Data COVERING
Eased Censorship
BY the Associated Press.

os the fAsoUCidteu EIeSbs
PARIS, May 11.-Supreme Allied
headquarters has issued a new CEN
sorship guide on "the level of secur-
ity after We day." and indications
today were That postwar censorship
would continue as long as SHAEF is
here and perhaps as long as there
are occupation forces in Europe.
Press guidance No. 1, the new Sc
ries, has been in the hands of censors
since May 5. This new basis of CEN
sorship Is summarized as follows:
I'm accordance with operations
memorandum No. ~, supreme head
quarters, AEF, in general, press ma
|terial falling into the following cate
gories will not be released:
81. Reports likely to supply mill
tary information of value to the
Japanese enemy to the detriment Of
the Allied war effort.
q. Unauthenticated, inaccurate or
false reports, misleading statements
and rumors.
g. Reports likely to injure the
morale of the Allied forces or the
relations between Allied nations"
The first point clearly is based
on military security, which the press
and public had been given to under
stand was the sole basis of CEN
sorship at military headquarters.
The second point, which If applied
in the extreme could stop almost
anything but an official COM
munique or statement, has been on
the books all along.
The first part of the third point
during the war was clearly linked
with military security. But the
later part, dealing with relation
ships between Allied nations, comes
into the twilight zone of political
security. Where the line will be
drawn has not yet been made
clear.
How censorship for the Western
Allies and Russian censorship will
be co-ordinated is not yet de-
termined. In areas where Russians
and Allied forces are adjacent,
Allied officers have consulted the
Russian commanders before releas-
Ing the names of Russian units.
The postwar plan calls for almost
as large a censorship personnel as
in the peak days of the war. There
have been about $50 SHAEF ONCE
censors. To carry on postwar CEN
sorship there will be slightly less
than that figure, Col. George War;
den, chief of SHAEF censorship.
estimated. OF these three will be
about $50 In Germany-roughly, 10
Americans, 90 Britons and 20 or
more others.
