Building Supply Gain
Reported, but Wyatt
Is NOT Optimistic

Production of many critical build
ing materials needed in the veterans
housing program Is running substan-
TALLY above year ago. Housing
Administrator Wilson w. Wyatt re-
ported today, but he warned that
this does not alter the fact that
critical situation exists
Mr.. Wyatt said that as a result
of delay in receiving legislation
from Congress, the program is being
set back three months. Accordingly.
he added, it will take redoubled eff
forts of industry, labor and govern
ment to reach the goal of 1,200,000
units completed or under construc-
ton this year.
The housing chief reported that
production of common and face brick
was up 100 per cent over the first
quarter of 1915; cast iron soil pipe,
up IS per cent; clay tile, so per cent;
cast iron radiation, up IS per cent;
gypsum board and lathe, 25 per cent;
clay sewer pipe, % per cent, and
warm air furnaces. 20 per cent.
Earlier, Mr.. Wyatt declared the
present OPA bill as passed by the
House endangerS the entire housing
program, and expressed belief that
! it would lead to imitation and sky
rocketing prices. He added:
The uncontrolled imitation re-
Sulting would increase home pro-
duction costs-already SO high that
we face extremely tough prob
lens. 1t would drastically cut down
the volume of housing we hope to
achieve. Materials and manpower
would be diverted to other fields.
And priorities for veteran housing
would be useless as prices rose be-
yond the ability of home building to
compete for materials with other
types of construction"
The bills major clauses now call
for prices guaranteeing reasonable
profit to all manufacturers and
contributors, scrapping Government
food subsidies, repeal of the low-cost
clothing production program and an
end to the cost-absorption" controls
limiting prices on autos, radios and
the like.
Only rent control survived the
House action Thursday as all efforts
to revise rent ceilings failed.

New Discovery
In Hearing Aid

A remarkable and new improve
ment has been made in a hearing
aid now welcomed by thousands. 1t
is small one-piece instrument
that does not require separate
battery pack, battery wire, battery
case or garment. So small that it
fits into the hand. The tone is un-
usually clear and powerful So
made that it can be adjusted by
the wearer to suit his individual
hearing as it changes. 1t has met
ali the exacting standards and is
approved by the Council on Physi-
cal Medicine of the American Med
ical Association. One of the unique
features of this new hearing aid is
that it has plug-in electronic tubes
which are inter- -changeable within
a couple minutes. This new patent
feature alone, makes it possible to
compensate for any future change
in hearing, merely by changing the
tube arrangement to match the in
dividuals hearing frequency. The
new floating microphone has a
very wide and powerful range
which now makes it possible to
hear normally in groups of people,
cross conversation, in church lee
ture halls and in the theater. No
longer is it necessary for one to live
in a world of silence or apart from
the wonders of sound which they
deserve to hear. The makers of
Beltone are so proud of their new
achievement that they will gladly
have the District Hearing Aid
Clinic, 1907 H Street NV. Wash
ington, D. c.. send to any one in
this area free descriptive booklet
and explain how a demonstration
of this remarkable new instrument
may be obtained without risking a
penny. Persons who are hard of

information on the new Beltone.

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, May IS, ---CP)-Mai. Gen. Curtis E.. LeMay 39year-old Director of Army Air Forces Guided Missiles Program, asserted today that the world is very definitely facing another war.
 He said the United States could either prepare for it, or be resigned to conquest possibly within minutes.

 Gen.

 Anti-union Lies Are Riddled The pamphlet goes on to puncture much of the propaganda against un- ions spread by labor's foes. It cites the facts that strikes in normal times are few and called only as a last re- sort.
 It hits the canard that unions are 'bossed" and points out that labor organizations are democratically TUT by their own members. It deals frankly with charges of "racketeefing in some unions, and points out that such abuses are rare. Where unior members are alert and public authori- ties are on their toes, racketeering cannot exist.

Q-Why should the veteran be con cerned with unions?
 A.-Almost 50 per cent of all em- ployes in private industry today are under union contracts. In some key industries and trades-including railroads-the proportion of workers who belong to unions range from 80 per cent to almost 100 per cent.
 Q.-Are unions championing veter- ans interests?
 A.-Organized labor has been work ing for veterans in many ways. Most important is the attempt to improve wages and working conditions. Also, unions have waived initiation fees and changed various rules on behalf of veterans. A number of large interna-
