WAR VETERANS TO OBTAIN pRI0RITlES
 TO BUILD HOUSES

Priorities assistance for moderate cost housing to which veterans of World War II, including Merchant Seamen, will be given preference was provided for Dec. 2l. when John D. Small, administrator of the Civilian Production Adminis- tration. announced the issuance of Priorities Regulation 8.
 Power to award this rating, he said, will be delegated by Civilian Production Administration through the National Housing Agency to the Federal Housing Administra- tion which will operate through its 52 field offices. Application forms will not be available until Jan. IS, when the regulation becomes ef- fective.
 Under the terms of the new regulation, an HI rating is es- tablished for 10 housing materials which are in critically short supply. These ratings will be awarded either to individual veterans who wish to build for themselves or to builders who wish to erect one or more dwellings, in the sale or rental of which preference will be given veterans of World War II.
 s10,000 Limit
 The further requirements are made that each unit shall be built to sell for not more than $l0,000 Cfinished price, including land and improvements or to rent for not more than $50 per month. Housing already under way may be brought within the program, if it meets the standards cf the regulation.
 The materials to which priorities will apply are: common and face brick, clay sewer pipes, structural tile, gypsum board, gypsum lath, cast-iron soil pipe and fittings, cast iron radiation, bathtubs, lumber and millwork. Additions to or deletions from this schedule may be made from time to time.
 To Process Applications
 The Juneau office of the Federal Housing Administration will process the applications when received, which will be Jan. Is or shortly thereafter. A supply of application forms will be sent to local banks and material supply concerns for use by those requesting priorities.
 It has been pointed out by the local Federal Housing Administra ton that their processing of the priority applications has no con- nection with their function as a mortgage insurance agency. The FILA was delegated the authority to handle the applications because of their experience with war build ing and availability to handle the work.

az Percent Hike ln Food Prices Brings on Rise

Washington, Dec. ia-(Up)-Tht cost of living increased two per, cent between Oct. l5 and Nov. IS bringing the total increase for tho year to I7 percent, the Labor De- pertinent reported today.
 A 4ik percent rise in food prices was mainly responsible for the in. crease.
 Of the total cost of living increase for l946, l6 percent occurred aftei June IS, last measuring date under the old price control law.
 Food bills of moderate-incomt city families rose an average oi 4h percent between mid-Octobei and Nov. IS, the department said Retail prices of fats and oils in. creased 65 percent; meat, poultry and fish about seven percents frui, and vegetables 45 percent.
 The only food items which dropped in price were eggs ana dairy products and these only slightly.
 In the first survey of completely uncontrolled meat prices, the de- partment found they were nine per. cent higher on Nov. IS than just be- fore they were recontrolled in mid. August. President Truman lifted all meat controls last Oct. Is.

 lnitiol Agreement

Washington, Dec, 14 - CUP9 - U. s. ofacials were Still hopeful So- day of winning Allied agreement to U. s. plan for preliminary dis tribution of Japanese separations.
 Informed quarters doubted that U. S. efforts to settle the Japanese reparations issue would be hamper ed by Preparations Ambassador Ed~ win W. Pauley's report on Russian damage to Manchurian industry,
 In a report to President Truman made public last night by the State Department, Pauley said that Rus sian occupation Of Manchuria was a powerful setback" to the econ- onic recovery of the Far East.
 Left Chaos in Withdrawal
 He said the Soviet occupation caused conservatively" S2O0o000, - 900 worth of damage to Manchur- ian industry, primarily because of the industrial equipment removed by the Red Army.
 When the occupation armies withdrew. Pauley said, they left chaos" and instability" and a populaoe hungry, cold and full Of unrest"
 Informed sources doubted that Pauley's report would aggravate the conflict over Japanese separations. They pointed out that the charges he outlined already had been aired in substance. A. U. s. note protest ing the industrial seizures was sent to Russia last February.
 Seizures SsSn in Doab4
 The question of the seizures is the main stumbling block to a repars- tions agreement. The United States insists that the Manchurian equip ment should be included in the separations pool Russia contends the equipment is legitimate war booty.
 Nevertheless, officials were hope ful that Allied nations, including Russia. would accept a Q. S. pro- posal to get separations moving soon. Under this proposal, Gen. Douglas MacArrhur would begin distributing an initial l5-20 percent of reparations, with the remain der to be decided upon later. Ofn- cials were optimistic the plan might get under way soon after Jan. l.
 They said Russian failure to re- spond to the U. s. proposal, which was made six weeks ago, might mean the Soviet representatives were willing to let the scheme go through without objection. A vigor- ous Soviet protest had been anri- cipated and officials were inclined to consider Russian silence a hope ful sign.

Jinnoh Says Peace Rests In Pokiston
 Molsem League
 Intends Co 60
 Own Woy in India

London, Dec. l4 -(UP)- Mo- hammed Ali Jinnah, president of the Moslem League, said today thai the only practical solution of the Indian problem was to divide h. dia into separate states. with Mos- lems and Hindus drafting their own consultations in separate assemblies
 Jinnah left little doubt at a press conference that the Moslem League intended to call separate consti- tuent assembly.
 "To the Hindus we say, go ahead and frame your constitution and leave us to frame ours" Jinnah said. That is the only practical way of settling the complex prob- lem of India's future"
 He charged that the India Con- gress leaders intended to have a cabinet responsible to the legisla- ture in which they have an over whelming majority.
 We cannot allow that" he said. because it would prejudge the fu- ture constitution of India while the framing of the constitution is still a matter for consideration.
 The existing interim government would ignore any case for Pakistan Ca separate MoSlem state). We cannot participate unless the Con- gross irrevocably accepts a long term scheme"
 He expressed doubt that the Brit ish government and parliament re- alize the full gravity of the situa- ton. adding:
 Frankly. I think things will get worse and the Moslem League might be forced into something in which we should be helpless"

 Floors Witness
 At BiIbo Heorina

Washington, Dec. l4 -CUP)- A one-punch fight between two Mis- sissippianS prompted offlcial pre- cautions today against further brawling among witnesses at the Senate committee investigation of the activities of Sen. Theodore c. Bilbo, D.-Miss).
 The Senate War Investigating Committee is studying charges that Bilbo accepted gifts from war con- tractors.
 Beginning today the committee will keep opposing witnesses widely separated and a policeman will be stationed in the hearing room at all times.
 Policeman Acts Quickly
 The fight was a short-lived affair between former Rep. Ross Collins, CD.-Miss). and Robert Candy, Jackson. Miss, insurance agent, at the close of yesterdays session.
 Collins, 66. lunged at Candy and knocked him to the floor, upsettine the witness chair and throwing the room into a turmoil.
 A policeman who had been sta- tioned outside the room separated the pair before any serious damage was done.
 The attack occurred while Gandy was testtfying about what had been done with e25 600 in checks made out to Bilbo by F. T. Newton, q Mississippi contractor.
 Hearings Broken Up
 The fight broke the hearings for the day. Candy will resume his testimony at today's session.
 Before he was so abruptly inter- rupted. Candy had testified the $25.000 was used in behalf of for mer Sen. Wall Doxey, D.-AEiss.) in his campaign for reelection in l042. Doxey lost and now is Senate Sergeant-at-arms.
 Candy said that S7,5O0 was paid to Roland Wall. former State WPA director. Wall was one of four can didates in the first Mississippi pri- mary Aug. 2i, l042. The others were Doxey. Collins and Sen. James O. Eastland. D.-MissD. the ulti- mate winner.
 Candy said the money was paid to Wall to enlist his support for Doxey in a Sept. IS run-off pri- mary. It was to be used to defray what he called the defeated can- didate's operating deficit"
 Notes Given to Committee
 Candy said he gave the cash to Bilbo and that the senator dis bursed it."
 He also turned over to the com- mittee for further study a book of memorandum notes" showing the total receipts and disbursements he personally handled as informal treasurer for the informal Doxey campaign committee
 Besides the $25.O00 from Newton. the book listed S5.O00 from B. L. Knost. another contractor, with the notation that 1t was a loan"
 Knost said he and Mike T. Nor riSsey. also a contractor. joined in the S5 900 contribution with the un- derstanding it was to be used in Doxey's campaign. He said 1t was a donation. not a loan.
