Lanhdm Act Holds Ans,Uer for
Aid IN Veteran Housing Shortage

Possibility Of securing additional
temporary housing for veterans and
their families and single veterans
attending schools and educational
institutions in the state under pro-
vision Of the Lanham Act was an
nounced by c. B. Lawrence Jr., Re-
gional Director of the Federal Pub
bic Housing Authority.
Mr.. Lawrence indicated the pres
sure for temporary housing by
pointing out that as soon as Senate
Joint Resolution 122 authorizing the
FPHA to assist in this program was
passed December 81, 1945, and it
was announced that educational in
stitutions and local agencies would
be required to file applications to
be considered for available tempo
rary housing. Applications were
mailed to 80 cities and educational
institutions which had been inquir-
ing about the possibility of acquir-
ing housing. The first application
was returned to the FPTA office on
December %. '"They have been
coming in thick and fast ever since
that day." said Mr.. Lawrence. I'VE

units today about equally divided

been requested from educational in
situations and another 1000 from
the cities to date. Over 4,500 are

100 from Kentucky and 725 from

Since it appears likely at this
time that the supply will not meet
the demand, every effort will be
made to direct available units to
localities where shortages are most
acute, and in the order in which
the applications are received.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

This convention declares that masters,
officers and radio officers shall re-
ceive not less than 18 days. vacation
for each year of continuous service at
sea, and that other members Of the
crew shall receive not less than 12
working days.
The minimum wage of $64 or L16 is
considerably below the monthly rate
prevailing in the United States, Great
Britain and number of the other rel
atively advanced maritime countries.
1t was made clear by the delegates,
however, that it was their intention
to establish figure that would make
possible ratification of the convention
by the less advanced countries, and
which would at the same time estab-
lish floor under the wages of the
worlds seamen.
The convention was adopted after
3 weeks of intense negotiation in
which government, seamen's and ship
powers delegates of 80 of the ILO's
member countries participated. In its
final form, the convention was approx
ed by 55 votes to 21, with delegates
abstaining-a margin comfortably in
excess of the two-thirds' majority re-
quired by the Hos constitution for
approval of convention.
The convention will come into force
as soon as number of conditions have
been fulfilled. These are: (a} it must
be ratified by of the following coun-
tries: Argentina, Australia, Belgium,
Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Fin
land, France, Great Britain, Greece,
India, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Nor
way, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Tur-
key, United States, Yugoslavia; (b) 5
of the ratifying countries must each
have at least 100000 gross register
tons of shipping; and (c) the aggre-
gate tonnage of the ratifying states
must be not less than 100000 gross
register tons. The third proviso means,
in effect, that the convention must be
ratified either by the United States
or Great Britain before it enters into
force,
