Hill Maps Amendment
Assuring Jobs Back
For Service Recruits

Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bana said today he will offer an
amendment to his unemployment
bill to assure men who volunteer
BOW for short enlistments that their
old jobs will be waiting. for them.
The Voluntary Recruitment Act
signed by the President last week
offered volunteers most Of the ben
efits due veterans under the CT Bill
of Rights and other laws but did
not mention unemployment.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Hilf and sponsored by the American
Legion, would make sure that men
In the service during the war but
not discharged Immediately, would
have the re employment rights aft
er the Seiective Service Act expires.
The unemployment guarantee is
part Of the Selective Service Act.
J Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, acting chairman Of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee,
where the bill now is pending. said
he was sure the committee would
report it fayorably. He said he be-
lieyed the question of re-employ-
ment for men who answer the cur
rent recruiting calls Of the Army and
Navy could be clarified in the Hill
measure.
Senator Hill said the men who
volunteer for short enlistments
should be entitled to their old jobs
when they leave the service along
with those who served during actual
hostilities. He said he would offer
AN amendment to protect them when
the bill is taken up in committee.
Under. selectiye service, re-em-
ployment' rights are extended to
those who volunteered as well as
those who were drafted. A selectiye
service spokesman said selective
service had interpreted re-employ-
ment rights to cover. men who enlist
within 80 days after their discharge.
Volunteers, however, the draft OIL
cial conceded, would be "out on
limb" If their re-enlistment period
extended beyond the life of the
Selective Service Act unless special
provision Is made for them.

II the much -talked-of increase in

years drives the cost Of home-build-
Ing up from 5000 to $9,000-for
the same style Of house--the maga-
zine Practical Builder warns that

People don't have to buy new
homes. They doubled up in the
'30s and they can do it again" Edi-
torialist Harold H. Rosenberg points
out in an August issue. He ex-
planned that like price rises In
1920 brought q virtual halt to both
building and buying for an appre-
ciable period.
To make feasible the purchase by
American buyers of the 10000, 900
homes said to be needed, Mr.. Rosen-
berg asked building trades members
to initiate against "make-work re-
strictions" and out-of-date building
codes productive of wasteful expend-
itures. He also asked adoption Of
new methods and materials to make
feasible low-cost residential con-
struction.

ton Of the District building permits
section.
The Dupont Park Apartments
Corp, q new organization Of local
developers, with offices at 1910 Ver-
mont avenue NV, will father the
Is building, 337 unit, $1,750, 900
project. The construction will be
handled by the Standard Construc-

The site is the triangle of land
facing Fort Dupont Park. The

District public school in the near
future and District officials have
pledged the improvement of the
park as among the first of their
postwar efforts.
1t is expected that the apartments
will open for occupancy before these
neighborhood attractions develop,
however. Spokesman for the COM
pany said they thought the first
units f1nished-those near Ely place

to receive tenants within six or seven
months. The rest will open at

The brick and tile structures, de-
signed by Harvey Warwick, the

semblance to those Of the latter
development, although with varia-
tons. They will be two and three
story edifices, housing from IL to
38 two and three bedroom apart
ments. outdoor parking spaces will
be provided. The apartments, COM
pany Representative said, will
probably bring from $65 to $75 per

maintain even after rent ceilings are
removed.
