The long delayed curb on com.
mercial, industrial and public
building, designed to give the green
light to program of 2,7OO, ,00O
homes for veterans in the next two
years, was reported today to be COM
pleted and ready for announcement
next week.
What has held up the order, which
is expected to cause severe anguish
TO many builders outside the field
of dwelling construction, has not
been disagreement over its severity
it was reported, though there is
understood to have been a long
series of heavy arguments on that
score. Main cause of delay, it was
said, has been the Government S
desire to be ready to administer the
order when it is finally issued.
To do this, the Civilian Produc-
tion Administration must have a
field organization-and money to set
up the organization.
Key Personnel Named.
Appointment of key administra-
tive personnel to staff 10 CPA re-
gional Offices and 81 district Offices
throughout the country, paralleling
district Offices of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration. which has joint
responsibility in the program, was
completed this week.
How much money Congress will
appropriate for expansion of CPA
forces to handle the job remains to
be settled.
The agency figures it will need
about 300 additional employees and
has requested $500, 900 to organize
a staff to make the program work.
That request is now before the
House Appropriations Committee.
Recommendations from the COM
mittee are. reported due Tuesday.
When CPA finally learns how
much money it will have, it can
then go ahead with the job of COM
pleting regional and district or
ganizations. How strong a compli-
ance staff it can set up depends, of
course, on whether it obtains sufi-
cient funds. How to check black

All the planning and financing
done in connection with a new
home is time wasted if the con-
struction is not sound and work
manlike The moment the last nail
is driven and the last brushful of
paint applied, the homeowner starts
the task of maintaining and pro-
tecting his investment. If he has
a sound house. all is well. If he
has not, it is too bad, and in all
probability he can blame himself
because small-house building is not
too complicated a matter for the
average intelligent person to under
stand.
In general, small home is COM
posed of about 10 major items
The footings and foundations, the
frame, the exterior walls and roof.
the interior walls and floor, the
trim, such as window frames, doors
and cabinet work; the hardware,
the plumbing. the heating, the
lighting and the decorating, such
as paint and wallpaper Any one

of the items if he will take the
trouble to read some of the litera-
ture distributed by reputable man.

morrow, we would do two things.
First we would read everything that
we could get Cur hands on cover

that we did not have to be an

New Type Radiator
Valve Made for
Easy Cleaning
By HiIson Munsey

One of the most frequent causes
for unsatisfactory operation of a
radiator is dirty and clogged- up
air valve. The working parts may
need cleaning or the vent hole may
have been closed by grease or paint
That necessitates soaking the air
valve in gasoline or some other
cleaning fluid, not always with sue
cessful results.
An air valve is now on the mar
ket which can be taken apart easily
and cleaned quickly without any
fuss or danger of fire from the
cleaning fluid. The base of the
valve is cast in one solid piece so
that the thread will not twist off
when the valve has to be removed
for cleaning. On many air valves
the thread is soldered onto the
base.
The float of the valve is a sep
arate unit inclosed in brass shell.
In the near future, the manufac-
turer believes it will be possible to
chrome-plate the valve.
To clean the valve, the base can
be placed in a wise. 1t has two
f1attened surfaces for this purpose
On the other hand, the radiator it
self can be made to act as the wise
because of the solid construction of
the base. The shell of the valve
is removed with a pair of pliers.
The float. and particularly the pin
Of the float, should be wiped clean
with a soft cloth and the interior
of the shell with the same material

The request was filed with the

The District Commissioners, in a

to the proposal.
Opposing enactment "in its pres
ent FORM" the Commissioners said
1t would be practically impossible"
to fix rentals based on the rent and
services generally prevailing for
comparable business accommoda-
tons" because, they said. each busi-
ness property presents a separate
problem.
Meanwhile, spokesman for the

protests against commercial rent in

District over the last month, said
that up to the present about so"
complaints had been received. Mem
