DemountabIe Houses
Opposed by Veterans

Possibility that veterans may not
favor demountable housing as a
means of coping with the housing
shortage here was raised yesterday
at the District Building.
The city already has asked the
Federal Public Housing Authority to
reserve 600 temporary dwellings for
District veterans and District en-
gineers are looking for likely sites.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young said yesterday that check
made recently of 200 veterans at the
Veterans Information Center, or
housing conditions, revealed "a tre-
mendous preponderance" opposed to
Quonset hut-type of temporary hous-
ing. The proposed dwellings, it was
said, are not Quonset huts, but might
be considered similar by the vet
Grams.
A conference Is expected to be
called this week of the Commits
sior1ers, Federal officials and repre-
sentatives of the building industry
to discuss the veteran housing prob
lem. .... -,-.
The preponderance of veterans,
according to the check, wanted
reasonably-priced apartments with
rents from $50 to $40 a month.
The temporary dwellings reserved
by the District would be erected
by FPHA with land, streets, sewers
and like services provided by the
District. Rents would be fixed by
FPHA. The District has suggested
the dwellings might be built on bor-
rowed park land during the emer-
gency, but park officials indicated
the. best locations already are ir

George and Ferguson
Urge Joint Army-Navy
Intelligence Service
BY ]. A. O'LEARY and
CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Two members of the Pearl Har-
bor Investigating Committee yes
terday indorsed plans, reported
underway in the Army and Navy,
for a joint intelligence service,
without waiting for armed forces
merger legislation.
Senators George, Democrat, of
Georgia, and Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, both said the hear
ings on the Hawaiian attack indi-
cate the desirability of co-ordinat-
ing the information made available
to the land and sea forces.
Much of the controversy over
Pearl Harbor has centered around
the question of whether the Ha-
waiian manders-Admira Hus-
band E. Kimmel and Maj. Gen.
Walter c. Short-were given ade-
quate information by the War and
Navy Departments as Japanese
American relations approached the
breaking point in 1941. Contention
also has developed over possible
conflict. in some of the dispatches
sent.
Hearings Resume Tuesday.
The committee is scheduled to
resume hearings at 10 am. Tues
day after a nine-day recess, but
several members said yesterday they
would like to see postponement
to enable all Senators and Repre-
sentatives to hear Gen. Eisenhower
and Admiral Nimitz explain the
rehabilitation problem at an in
formal joint session.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Ill
inois, made known, however, he Is
opposed to changing the Pearl Har-
Dor schedule. The committee, he
said, has informed Admiral Kimmel
1t will hear him Tuesday morning,
and should proceed. While all MEM
bers would like to hear the Chief
of Staff and Chief of Naval Opera
tions, Senator Lucas said, the Pearl
Harbor committee members could
read their statements later.
Those who thought it would be
desirable to delay the testimony of
Admiral Kimmel until after the de-
mobilization meeting were Senators
Gearhart, Republican, of California.
George Outlines Views.
In commenting on the Army
Navy plans for co-ordinating some
of their functions voluntarily, Sem
ator George said:
II think these hearings (on Pearl
Harbor) do illustrate the advisable
ity of having joint intelligence
service. The present method of op-
Grating separately, with close liai-
son, depends on how faithful they
maintain the liaison-and there is
always the possibility that some
thing coming into one would not
become known to the other.
so, I have been very much i'm
pressed by the fact that a joint,
or central intelligence office would
be highly desirable, even though
there is no merger as completely
as contemplated by pending legis-
lation."
The Georgia Senator took the
same view with regard to the COM
munications service. ~
Barkley to Make Decisions.
Senator Ferguson observed that
the hearings so far have demon
strated beyond any doubt that q
JOINT intelligence service is desirable,
Senator Barkley, Democrat, OF
Kentucky, Pearl Harbor chairman
was out of the city yesterday, and
until he returns no action is ex-
pected on the suggestion for q
change in the Tuesday morning
hearing schedule.
Admiral Kimmel, who will be
presenting his side of the Pear
Harbor story for the first time pub.
licly, is expected to be on the stand
all week, after which Gen. Shori
will testify.

NYU HAS TWO
GRID ACES

SEBAGO LAKE, N. Y, Sept. 25
(ANP)-Every time Coach Jack
Weinheimer looks over his big
squad, he laughs at what fate has
in store for his New York univer-
sity football opponents this year.
Two Negroes on the squad would
make any coach smile in glee and
since no other Manhattan institu-
ton of higher education boasts any
colored footballers, it is expected
that Fred Burgess, former Nor
gan State fullback, all CIAA star
and voted most valuable player on
the Morgan squad last year, and
George Stake, six-foot end from
further down the country, will be
hard to displace and even in the
early workouts, both have showed
to an advantage.
Weinheimer expects his tough
est opponent this year to be Bos-
ton college. Fordham is met in a
traditional game around Thanks
giving and never in the history of
the Catholic school, which has been
the favorite in every game, has a
colored player worn the maroon
and gold of the Catholics.
Many outstanding Negroes have
performed for the Violent Violets
from the earliest days of the in
stitution, before Chick Meehan
came down from Syracuse to in
stall big time football there. Nee
han also brought a famous colored
trainer, Ed Porter, who later went
to the New York Giants where he
still functions as a reliever of
aches and pains.
New York u, is out to recapture
some of it's lost football glory-lost
through deemphasis on athletics,
but the size of this years squad,
both numerically and in weight,
has given Weinheimer pleasant
dreams.
