 In New England many builders are discouraged and unwilling to launch any new projects until they see supplies of vital materials ac- tually on hand. They talk about a two or three month delay. But by then the long New England winter will prevent any appreciable build ing.
 Leading New York builders say they will suspend operations when they complete what is now in pro- cess. Few new sites are being pre- pared. Builders say they are seek ing few priorities. But Charles S.. Ascher, regional FILA expediter, says somebody is getting priorities be- cause 5339 were issued in August as against 3778 in July. Otto Hartwig, executive secretary of the Home Builders Council for the metropoli- tan area, says that Nassau builders do not plan to use the 1000 priorities they still hold, unless conditions im- prove.

 Portland, Me, Sept. IT = UP) The largest city in Maine is be- coming modern Hamelin as it wages losing war against an army of oversized rats which has swept in from Portland's waterfront. The rats outnumber the city's popula- tion by about 25 per cent, accord ing to health department officials.
 In an interview, Portlands chief restaurant inspector, Willia m Bunting, estimated there were more than 100000 rats in this city of 80,000 persons and that the horde of disease-carrying rodents was increasing at terrifying rate."
 Bunting said he had fought the advance of the rats for five years. I'm losing the fight" he added.
 He said the sharp-toothed in- vaders averaged nine to l inches in length, and had proven more than a match for the city's cats. Ferrets, imported and turned loose in an almost desperate effort to

LINN FORREST TO CATALOGUE
 RESORT SPOTS

By cooperative arrangement be- tween the U. s. Forest Service anc the Alaska Development Board Forest Service Architect Linn For rest is to leave Monday on an esti- mated six weeks trip into all Diyis- ions of the Territory, it was an nounced today by Henry Clark General Manager of the Board.
 The purpose of Architect For rests trip will be to catalogue areas suitable for resort development About twenty such spots already have been lined up for Forrest tc investigate.
 Forests task will ae to determine if a suggested site is suitable for resort use and for what type of resort or tourist lodge; whether hunting and fishing, scenic and fishing, etc. He will then roughly sketch out a proposed development at each site he finds to meet re- sort requirements and will estimate the cost of development to that the Development Board may have right at hand the exact informa- tion needed by any prospective in- vestor. Up to now, Clark said, none but very general information has been available regarding spots sug- gested for tourist lodges.
 Clark called attention to Forrest < past experience and proven ability in the field of resort development which will give his finding the stamp of authority. TEe loan, by the Forest Service, of the services of the designer of Mt. Hood, Ore gon's nationally famous Timberline Lodge, cannot but be of great bene- fit to the Territory, he declared.
