SPECIAL MEETING
Session OF Fire Chiefs As
ISOLATION Called For
December 10

Fire CHEZ j. Luddie Groom said
yesterday that he intends to attend
a special meeting of the North
Carolina Fire Chiefs association
in Salisbury on Dec. 10 to discuss
improved fire protection in hotels.
The special session was called
by Fire Chief Hendrix Palmer, of
the Charlotte department and presi-
dent of the state organization.
According to an announcement
from Charlotte, Palmer said sever
al chiefs called him since the
Winecoff hotel fire in Atlanta with
suggestions, and he thought, a round
table discussion should bring an
Improvement on a statewide basis.
He also indicated that changes
in the state fire code may be re-
quested from the General AS
sembly in January with a plea
that regulations Cor hotels a n d
apartment buildings be tightened.
Meanwhile, an inspection of Will
mington hotels, apartments and
other public buildings by officials
of the Wilmington department is
well underway. Chief effect Of the
survey so far has been issuance
of a general order by fire officials
that any door which would other
wise bar access to a fire escape
in a public building be kept I'M
locked continuously.

Choice OF The Majority

Contrary to popular belief, radio programs are de-
signed to give listeners what they want and not what
the sponsors think they should have. Quality OF the
Star-News program "Round-the-town Reporter" pre-
sented three times daily beginning tomorrow by Ben
Mcdonald, is produced from the editorial rooms OF the
Star-News from standards set by those responsible for
the broadcast readers of Wilmington's hometown
newspapers, The Sunday Star-News, The Wilmington
News and The Morning Star, choice of the majority in
Southeastern North Carolina, according to statistics OF
the Audit Bureau of Calculations. It is for this reason
that the Publisher of these newspapers has arranged
for three ~broadcasts daily, the.news program scheduled

-UY-A mother who lives in a
three-room Mississippi farm cabin
with so many children she doesn't
know what to do, learned today that
a young Civil Engineer whose car
killed her husband will help sup
port them until they are grown.
The news gave Mrs. Dewey
Gardner a new lease on life that
seemed more hopeless than ever
when word came a few nights ago
that her husband had been killed.
The case against w. H. (BilD

County Judge William HARRISON. A
dozen jurymen, mostly young war
veterans like the defendant, heard
that he was driving the
car and then found. him guilty of

Priorities
On Material
Are Junked
Executive Clears Way
For Vast U. S. Building
Program
VETERAN OR NOT
Action Follows Recommen-
dations OF Realtors,
lndustrialists

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA
R-President Truman put
housing under the decontrol
shower tonight, washing away
the major controls of the
Wilson Wyatt program and
ordering new steps to aid rent
al construction.
The $40, 600 sales price cell
ing on new homes was aban-
doned and the $50 a month
rental ceiling liberalized. The
priority system on building
materials was junked. The
way was cleared for anyone,
veteran or not, to build a
house for his own occupancy
with government permission.
"I am determined that a Wig
orous housing program will con-
tinue to be carried out in 1947,"
said a presidential statement.
"The techniques we will use are
those that will work today. I am
interested in results and I am con-
WINGED that this 1947 program will
produce results"
The action followed In large part
the recommendations of real es-
tate and construction industry
leaders who commended that more
homes would be built without gov
eminent restrictions than with
them.
Every control Mr.. Truman re-
moved represented a reversal of
the program advocated by Wyatt,
former mayor of Louisville, KY,
who quit last week as housing ex-
pediter when the White House
would not give him the authority
and tighter rules he wanted.
The President said that while
the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration will continue to assist
producers of prefabricated hous-
ing and industrially built DWELL
ing components it will do SO when
it is warranted"
The RFC financing matter was
one particularly in dispute. Wyatt
wanted power to direct RFC tn
make prefrabrication loans. He
had asked for some $50, 900, 900 in
