Leaders of the CIO National Mari

Cooks and Stewards union and the
Independent Marine Firemen, Oil

claimed a half million men were

Some movement was detected in
scattered seaports, principally on
the East coast and the Gulf, due
to release Of foreign vessels and
AFL-manned ships from the CLIO
Seamen's picket lines.
The U. S. Maritime commission
said longshoremen were working on

A couple of sugar-laden ships
were being unloaded in Boston

the 120 vessels in that port.
Activity on some of the ships in
Philadelphia was due to resume

VETERANS CALL
HOUSING MEET
Purchase OF Lake Forest
To Be Discussed Mon
t.
day Night

A meeting of all veterans in
terested in purchasing housing units
Of the Lake Forest project has
been scheduled for next Monday
night David Leroy. state press
representative Of the Veteran OF
Foreign Wars, announced last night
following an open meeting at the
local post here.
Scheduled for 8 o'clock, the meet
ing place has not yet been selected,
Interested veterans attending will
receive printed copies of the plan
for the purchase Of the buildings.
Also scheduled for distribution,
according to Leroy, will be print
ed question and answer forms con
tanning the most common queries
concerning the veterans-sponsor-
ed plan to buy the 586 masonry
units at Lake Forest. Y
Pertinent facts revealed by Ker
Noble, during a, talk at the meet
ing held last night in the WV
clubrooms on Princess street,
were:
l. Purchasers of the project will
be limited to veterans of World
War II to comply with a ruling oil
the Federal Public Housing admin
istration.
2. The purchase price of the
Lake Forest units should be well
within the average veterans means.
Tentative estimates set 81, 200 per
unit with a down payment of less
than 500. However, it was pointed
out that these figures were merely
an estimate. 1t was also explained
that since the structures at Lake
Forest contain two family units,
each building would be considered
as constituting two family dwell
ings.
8. Under the present proposed
program it would be impossible to
purchase the land and only the
dwelling units could be acquired.

In another sense it constitutes
only a truce. however, for Wallace

The terms of the agreement were
embodied in D: e sentence pencilled
on a piece of paper and obviously
drafted in consultation with the
