Bishop Oman Denies.
Group Advised Against
Sending Europe Food
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Methodist
Bishop g. Bromley Oman of New
York, head of an American delega-
ton which surveyed relief needs in
Europe, said today the groups re-
port had been unfortunately mis-
understood and misquoted," and that
1t did not advise churches here
against sending food to Europe.
Bishop Oman made the state
ments in an interview when told
that three prominent churchmen
had sent cablegram from Geneva,
Switzerland, taking exception to the
American delegations report, which
it quoted as saying that churches
need not send food to Europe.
What the report did say was
that churches and individuals would
have no need or opportunity to
contribute food, or money to pur-
chase food, for persons in the
American-occupied zone of Ger
many" Bishop Oman said.
Refers Only to U. S. Zone.
The cablegram was addressed to
DR.. Robin w. Barstow, director of
the Commission for World Council
Service, Protestant church group
interested in relief of war-torn
countries, who remarked he was
surprised to hear any churchmen
still misunderstood the report at
this time, because we have been
busily explaining it to every one
concerned for the past two weeks. /"
THE misunderstanding" DR.. Bar
stow said, came from various
churchmen reading the report too
hastily to absorb its full intent.
Many readers of the report Just
lifted out certain sentence which.
without its context, became obnox-
ious. We have answered many let
ters of complaint the past fortnight.
but now I feel everybody under
stands"
He said, "the Government allows
us to send both food and clothing
to other countries of Europe. and
we have been sending it right along.
but 1t will not allow us to send even
clothing to Germany because it has
not worked out a policy concerning
relief to former enemy countries.

Wyatt Outlines 4 Step.
To Speed Production
OF Veterans Homes
BY ROBERT l. LEWIS.

Wilson w. Wyatt, Federal housing
expedter, yesterday disclosed the
Government is taking four major
steps at emergency tempo" to bring
about quick production of veterans
homes
In the first comprehensive review
of his activity to date, he limited that
measures would be forthcoming to
provide many more homes in the
next year than the 100000 predicted
under the present priority system,
and promised vigorous steps which
would 90 beyond traditional meth
DDS.
Speaking before a housing session
OF the National Conference on Jobs
and Security at the Statler Hotel,
Mr.. Wyatt made 1t clear that his
survey had not reached the point
at which he could make specific rec
concentrations.
Outlines Plan Of Action,
He said action was being taken to:
l.. Solve the critical problem of
materials shortages.
2. Increase the labor supply so
that as materials become available
men will be ready to turn them into
homes.
3. Provide for maximum use of
housing we have at present"
4. Encourage an active, vital
program by communities, which is
needed as part of the total pro-
gram"
To Meet Veterans Groups.
The housing e&pediter disclosed
he would meet with veterans
groups next week after he has COM
pleted preliminary meetings with
Government, construction industry
and labor representatives.
Since taking over the Federal
post at President Truman's request,
Mr.. Wyatt has held an extensive
series of conferences here with
groups representing all phases of
the home-building industry.
In outlining his attitude on hous-
ing, the former Louisville, KY,
mayor said:
If the program of building must
go on merely on the basis of nor
NAL practices, then I believe II
should go home.
Nation Can Do Job.
"The Nation can do this job, and
job Of which 1t will be proud,
but 1t cannot be done on the basis
OF business as usual, labor as usual,
building as usual, or Government
as usual"
Referring to business and labor
practices, he said he had had some
very frank discussions" with AFL
and CIO leaders and representatives.
OF the builders and materials pro-
ducers, and emphasized that a
vital concern of the Government
vas to prevent disastrous imitation.
After the last war, the lid was
off and there was an inf1ationary
spiral that went up like Pixies Peak,
he said. Part of our current hous-
ing shortage may be traced to that
boom and bust period after the last
war. and therefore, we must curb,
to the greatest possible extent, the
present Upward spiral of prices"
Speaking on the same program,
representative Patman, Democrat,
of Texas, declared the housing scar
city had become almost national
scandal-almost national dis
grace" and said he could think of
no one better qualified to tackle the
problem than Mr.. Wyatt.
He pointed out, however, he was
disappointed that Mr.. Wyatt
doesn't have the power to do the
job" and added: He should have
the power to destroy all obstacles in
his path Z"

F. D. Roosevelt, L., Urges
Truman to Act on Housinq

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Franklin
D. Roosevelt, jr., chairman of the
American Veterans Housing Com
mittee, and Representative Rabin,
Democrat, of New York tonight
urged that President Truman use
his wartime emergency powers to
solve the housing crisis
In broadcast talks, Mr.. Rabin sug-
gested that President Truman's
wartime powers be used. to build
emergency housing, requisitioning
materials and condemning lands if
necessary, and Mr.. Roosevelt said
such a plan would quickly and eff
GENTLY solve the housing crisis" and
"solve it now"
The late President Roosevelt's son
predicted 10000 Americans would
be homeless in the next 10 years
unless Mr.. Rabin's plan were
adopted, and the Government
treated the housing situation in
much the same way as it treated
the war emergency.
MIR. Rabin declared his plan, en-
bodied in a bill now before Con-
gress, would not interfere with pri-
vate enterprise, but will assist it."

Phillips, New York railroad analyst,
filed a petition in Federal District
Court yesterday asking that, Roy
Barton White, president, and three
other officials of the Baltimore &,

justice and derogatory to the dignity
and authority" of a special three

ment plan.
Mr.. Phillips was a main objector
