"A number of our policewomen
are assigned to the missing per-
sons or juvenile aid bureaus, the
pickpocket, shoplifting or marco
tic, squads. Women make fine de-
tectives because of their intuition,
their understanding of human ma
ture and their patience. They try
to prevent crime as well control
it,"
AT the time she resigned her
saleswornan job to become a po-
licewoman, her old boss said in
horror, ''That's no job for a lady"
Since then Mary Sullivan has
been in many spot that was no
place for a lady.
She had herself committed to
Jail on a false charge in order to
scrape acquaintance with sus-
pected murderer and collect the
circumstantial evidence on which
she was later convicted. She lived
! for weeks with gangster's
iopium-smoking moll to collect in
formation on the murder of Her
man Rosenthal, shot down in
| front of New York hotel. She
moved into the suite Of a killers
wife to learn her peculiarities OF
ispeech--and later 1ilimicked her
on the telephone so well that she
learned the killers hideout and
thus brought about his arrest.

FPHA's subsidiary. the Unit
ed States Housing Authority
tUSHAl. was able to 60 ahead
and build $1,000 war housing
units with low-rent funds. How
ever. the war scrapped inrne-
diate hopes for $4,000 more
units in.sl67 low-rent projects.
These cannot be revived until
more money is provided by the
Wagner Ellender- Taft bill.
This measure has passed the
Senate and is now before a House
committee. Wilson w. Wyatt, ma
tionaI housing coordinator, sup
ports it as an intrinsic part of his
broad program for veterans hous-
ing, because it would make low
rent homes available for veterans.
About 232, 900 veterans and Serv-
ieemen's families now are living
in public housing.
Tremendous as it was, FPHA's
war housing job didn't move the
government very far along to-
ward answering the great nation
al question-''Where can / get a
place to live?"
FPHA says 100000 families
had been forced to double up
by last October. BY the end of
this year 100000 more will
need homes. About 2.900.0o0 of
!, these latter will be the fami-
{ lies Of veterans.
That is where Wyatt and his
veterans program come in to give
home construction a two-year
BOOST ~ - ii
He has $500, 100000 to spend on
stimulating the production of
building materials apd is author
lied to- guarantee asmarket for
prefabrieated houses. This was
provided by the Patman Housing
Acts
With the Wyatt program"
says FPHA Commissioner Phil
ip NJ. Klutznick. I'VE are trying
to telescope into two years a
volume of building that other
wise would take four or five
years.
1t is an ambitious plan to get
homes at prices veterans can af-
ford to pay. 1t includes the hope
that passage of the Wagner-El-
lender Taft bill, or a similar one
sponsored by Rep. Mccormack
3D. Mass.), will permit an ex-
banded low-rent program to
march along hand-in-hand with
accelerated private building.
Given the authority and money
proposed in either of those two
bills, FPHA could get started on
its plan to build 125,000 loW-rent
units a year for the next four
years. Local housing authorities
already have asked for help on
projects totalling 100000 units to
be built over the next three years.
y The governments double
barrelled program for private
and public building is aimed at
what Klutznick calls the goal
of good homes and livable
neighborhoods for American
veterans"
He believes the job of the gov
eminent is cut out for it by this
fact:
"a reasonable gap-at least 20
percent-is left between the top
of the loW-income market and the
lowest possible income group that
private enterprise can serve. We
must recognize that public hous-
ing is here to stay"

WONDERLAND. Under thatch of
sandy hair, Philip Huncik's mild blue
eyes have a look of faint surprise.
AS proprietor of The Wire Frame
Shop, he's watched ordinary wire
grow into worldwide business.
From his workbench in New York,
beasts, birds, butterflies, musical
instruments - even life-size ladies -
all delicately hand sculptured in wire,
are shipped as far as China.
The wire-wonderland's patrons
are department stores and speciality
shops which buy the mesh figures for
displays. But artists and photog
raphers also use them as models.
Orders like the lacy frames for 1lka
Chase's mirrors, and the play-pen for
Henry Fonda's youngster no longer
startle Huncik and his five assistants.
They didn't even bat an eye when
customer ordered spaghettl-llke

he came here from Czechoslovakia,
Mr.. Huncik made plain lamp-shade

decorative structure caused stir and

Veterans Failing
10 Report Earnings 10
Lose Subsistence PAY

An estimated 1900 District veter-
ans In schools and on-the- job train
ing, programs will be cut on from
monthly subsistence allowance
checks for failing to submit reports
Of earnings for the past three
months to the Veterans Administra-
tion, it was learned today.
AS of the s pm. deadline yester-
day about 5000 veterans had failed
to report wages. The reports were
required Of about $4,000 veterans
drawing subsistence checks here
some $500 in on-the-job training
and the rest in colleges or high
schools.
From the reported earnings, fu-
ture checks win be sliced to con-
form with recent legislation that
limited combined earnings and SUBJ
sistence allowances to ceilings Of
$500 for veterans with dependents
and sits to those without depend
ents.
To Rectify Overpayment.
The reports viii also show over
payments made by the Veterans Adj
ministration In checks since the
ceilings went into effect August 8.
The oyerpayments may be repaid In
cash or by reducing or canceling
future checks.
A majority of the 5000 who failed
