HOUSING TER MED
FEDERAL PROBLEM

NEW YORK, Nov. 1o-P -
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia SAID TO-
day in a letter to National Housing
administrator John B. Blandfora
Jr., that it was up to the Federal
government, rather than cities, 10
solve the housing problem.
Answering letter sent py
Blanford to mayors throughout the
country which outlined prog1 am
of action to be taken to alleviate
The housing shortage, LaGuardla
wrote:
I'VE ask for bricks and stone and
plumbing, and you give us a MI
neograph press release-MattheW
49,"
Matthew 10 reads: "or what
man is there of you, whom If MS
son asked bread, will he give him
stone?'
La Guardia, who is president OF
the U. S. Conference of Mayors,
said that Congress had not acted
on several housing bills, the War
Federal Housing Authority had not
taken steps to meet postwar con-
ditions.
The housing administrator had
written on them for local programs
to stimulate residential construc-
ton and to aid home seekers. This
letter, La Guardia said, was I'm
called for because "everything
suggested in your letter every city
is doing.''
1.-THE relations between cities
and the National Housing agency
have always been most cordial. "

STAIN EXPECTED
TO RETURN SOON

MOSCOW, Nov. TO- (P) A
Foreign Diplomatic Source said
today a high Soviet official had
indicated that Generalissimo Sta
lin was expected to return to
active duty about the middle, of
November.
He said that when he inquired
Why Stain did not appear at the
Red Square parade on the 28th an
niversary of the Russian Revolu-
ton Nov. 7. He was told that It
would have been very risky for
anyone coming from the warm
climate Of the south, where the
Generalissimo spent his recent
vacation, expose himself several
hours to the frigid temperatures
of Moscow's streets.
This seems the mos logical ex-
PLANTATION of Stalin's absence

the Diplomatic source, who can
not be identified by name.
The whereabouts of Stain are
still a subject Of considerable
speculation, but if this report is
true it might explain also the
fact he did not attend the Kreln-
lin meeting addressed by Foreign
c 0 m m i S sar Vyacheslav M.
Molotov the previous day. It is
not likely that he would have
shown up for the Kremlin speech
and then failed OF review the ira

ANSWER

Static electricity may be gen erated by the motion of liquids of low electrical conductivity, such as gasoline. This motion may be flow in pipes, flow. from a nozzle CT hose into a container, or surging iR tank such as those of an airplane or motor vehicle. Such a charge may build up on the container, CT the airplane or vehicle to which it is attached, to a voltage sufficient to cause sparks to jump to nearby ! grounded objects.
 In special tests conducted at UH- derwriters' Laboratories, Inc, Chi acgo, Illinois, the pumping of 22.G gallons of gasoline into an un- grounded tank in approximately one CD minute raised the potential Electrical voltage) of the tank te 18,500 volts. Low capacity electr- cal discharges as low as 5000 volts are capable of creating sparks ia- tense enough to ignite gasoline vapor-air mixtures. From this test, it can readily be seen that danger ous static charges can be built up on ungrounded containers even when relatively small amounts of gasoline are being handled.
 Positive static grounding of the airplane, vehicle or container will prevent the building up of these dangerous static charges, by caus- ing them to flow off to ground be- fore building up to dangerous values.
 The grounding should always be accomplished before removing any filler caps, because the airplane or vehicle may already have accumu- lated a static charge from the sloshing of gasoline in the tank or frictional flow of air over the sur face areas of the wings, fuselage or body. Cold, dry weather is espe- cially conducive for accumulations of static electricity and it cannot be assumed that static conducting tires, drag chains, etc., in contact with the surface of the apron, run way or ground will be sufficiently effective positively to dissipate static charges.
 The human body is also capable of accumulating static charges un- der certain favorable conditions, So all personnel should contact . grounded object before removing caps of gasoline tanks.

A VERA FUNNY MON INDEED

A VERA FUNNY MON INDEED
 Have you met MT. Glencannon, the portly Britisher with walrus mustache, a briar pipe, a taste for fine whiskey, and a strong accent? Guy Gilpatric brings him back to his hosts of friends in "Mr. Glen cannon Ignores the War;. What has been happening in war times to MT. Glencannon and his freight CT, the Inchcliffe Castle? With the imminent capture by the Japanese of a great Far Eastern seaport, steam is up on the Inchcliffe Castle in the harbor and all is set for escape. At the last moment, how ever, MT. Glencannon bethinks him. self that his stock Of ''Duggan's Dew" is completely out. So he dashes into the city for refueling, while ignoring the storm signals of the Japanese approach. Swept along in a remarkable series of ad- ventures, MT. Glencannon continues to ignore the war completely-and, almost as an afterthought, does his full share toward winning it. "A laugh-riot from the drawing of the first cork", says one reviewer.
 THIS YEAR SBOOK-NEXT
 YEARS MOVIE
 A record price has already been paid for the motion-picture rights to Cronin's "The Green Years" published last month. Like "The Citadel, which won the critics prize for that year, and "The Keys of the Kingdom, recently released, "The Green Years" offers a ready made scenario for the trials and the ultimate triumph of a starved but valiant youth. Written in the first person, this is the story of Robert Shannon from his eighth year to his eighteenth. Orphaned by the loss of both parents in few short months, Robert travels from his home in Ireland to his grandparents in Scotland where he finds only one person to give him the unstinted love he needs-his great grandfather, something of sinner, but the boys true friend. If you like reading about adoles- cence in a world and a setting quite remote from your own, "The Green Years" is the book for you. MT. Cronin covers almost exactly the same ground for the waifsh little boy in a Scottish village that "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" covers for talented little girl in cheap city flat. At the end of "The Green Years", as in Miss Smiths novel, "the future is wide and open".

WHEN JOHNNY COMES
 MARCHING HOME

Five marines and their separate problems on discharge from the Armed Forces form the basis of Niven Busch's latest novel "They Dream of Home". Cliff Harper, schooled in killing, comes home to compare active combat with the patterns of middle-class life; "Gunny", the aging gunnery ser geant, returns to find his 4-F son head of the family; Matt Klein comes back to learn that his wife has married him less for love than for allotments; Perry, a Negro stewards mate, who has lost an arm and two legs in battle, lies in his bed at home and reads about race discrimination; and finally, Billy Tabeshaw, an Indian, sent back with bad-conduct discharge, who takes up bad conduct in good earnest. It's not pretty story we hope the picture is distorted; nevertheless it is exceedingly time ly and expressing because of the issues with which it deals.

New Chevrolet Now
AT Weathersby's

Cleaning new l946 Chevrolets,
sounding an appealing note in sleek,
modern styling, and embodying the
laterst results of new engineering
progress, will be on display Nov. 3
at Weathersby Chevrolet Company
at Lexington.
''The new moleds mark an out

as top producer in the automotive
industry, said Mr.. Weathersby, of
the Weathersby Chevrolet Com
pany. more Chevrolets than any
other motor car were sold in 10 of
the last IL years of prewar auto
motive production. We are confident
that the new postwar car will once
again be sales winner"
Zone of the most striking new
features, which gives evidence of
the inherent overall artistry of
these cars, is the completely new
front-end treatment, redesigned to
empasize the low, modish lines. The
bumper, bumper guards, radiator
grille, parking lamps, hood ornament
and name emblem all present an ap-
pearance of new, graceful rugged
ness.
Outstanding style distinction is
Immediately apparent in the stun
ming array of color combinations on
the bodies by Fisher for the 1946
Chevrolet. Six different color sche-
mes are /, available on all regular
models. A range Of three solid colors
is provided, and in addition, ultra
smart two-tone hues are available
on specification, all in the newest
and most appealing shades.
The 1946 Chevrolet appears in
three lines: the Stylemaster, Offer
ing unusual refinements in the low
est-price bracket; The Fleetmaster,
with further advanced finish and
appointments, and the Fleetline,
most attractively styled model
Chevrolet ever has offered.
The first Chevrolet to come from
