Montgomery Builders Hit
Federal Housing Request

Montgomery County builders have
expressed amazement at the Board
of Commissioners action this week
in taking steps to obtain Federal
housing units for veterans in the
county.
Henry Conner, member Of the
Montgomery County branch of the
Home Builders Association of Met
ropolitan Washington, said his firm
has materials to build l26 houses for
veterans to sell at $4,000, but is
waiting for building permits from
the board and Park and Planning
Commission. He plans to build a
sample house at 1898 Wisconsin
avenue to be moved later, he said.
Speaking for the builders, Mr.
Conner said. other builders in the
area have plans also and they be-
lieve private enterprise should be
allowed to help solve the housing
shortage before the Government is
called in.

AS to the first, shirt manufacturers
are confronted by troubles similar to
those of most other industries in re-
turning to full peacetime production
Changes in many plant set-ups were
required to permit manufacture OF
garments other than civilian shirts
during the war. Now, with everyone
trying to reconvert at the same time
replacement machinery deliveries
are slow. Furthermore, many of the
boys and girls who wandered off te
hlgher-paying wartime factories
have shown distressing disinclina
ton to return to shirt-making.
The raw materials picture is
gloomy, too. Tremendous textile re-
quirements of war Quitting are

nothing but sympathy to offer. Ever

Average Price Decreed.
The mystic IN. A. p" means
maximum average price" and rep
resents a formula devised by the
Office of Price Administration in an
effort to keep lower priced lines of
clothing on the market. 1t specifies
that the average price of shirts, for
example, shall not be above that
charged by a manufacturer in the
base year, 1943. To achieve this, the
manufacturer is supposed to deliver
high and low priced shirts to the
trade in the same proportion as dur
ing that year.
What the shirtmakers think of
IN. A. p" is a moot matter. Local
store buyers say the boys don't like
it and claim they are losing money
on low-priced shirts because of in
creased manufacturing costs. On

Man, II, on Relief,
Dies After Failure 10
Enter Nursing Home

A 71-year-old Edmonston man, who
had been on Prince Georges County
relief rolls, died Thursday night a,
a Hyattsville home after the County
Welfare Board had been unable tc
find a place for him to stay, it was
learned today.
The man, Frederick xander, dice

Hyattsville. DR.. James I. Boyd, dep.
uty county medical examiner, sale
death was due to heart ailment.
Mrs. jackson said she had met Mr.
Xander several months ago when he
did some odd jobs near her home
She said he was brought to her home
by a cab driver, who told her Mr.
Xander had just been refused ad.
mlttance to nursing home because
the institutions monthly rate was
500 while the welfare board was
prepared to pay only $50.
Went to Pastors Home.
The day before, Mr.. Xander hao
gone to the home of the Rev. Ken
meth Woodring, of Rogers Heights
pastor of the Hyattsville Non-sec-
tartan Church.
Mr.. Woodring said Mr.. XandeI
complained of feeling i'll and SAID
he had no place to go. The min.
lister said MIR. xander had been a,
his home on previous occasions.
When he called the Welfare
Board, Mr.. Woodring said, he was
told Mr.. Xander had refused to &c
to nursing home.
Mr.. Woodring said he persuaded
MIR. Xander to 60 to the rest home
Case Investigated.
William A. Carson, chairman OF
the Board Of County Commissioners
said he had investigated and had
found nothing out of line"
He said officials of the nursing
nome told him that even if the We'll
fare Boards allotment had been suf-
ficient, they would not have been
able to care for the man because
there was no room for him.
MI. Carson also said Mr.. xander
mad refused to meet Miss Agnes
Duvall, county social worker, at the
County Service Building, Hyatts-
vile, who was to arrange to have
him taken to a loSpital.
He added that Mr.. Xander had a
brother in Takoma Park, a wife and
daughter in Washington and an
other daughter in Falls Church to
whom he could have gone for aid.
Need of Institution Seen,
Mrs. Dorothy Ogburn, executive
secretary of the board, explained
that the board has a very grave
budget deficit" which is Statewide
and that 1--WE are trying to do the
best We can with the money we
have"
She said the board had done every
thing in its power to find a place
for Mr.. xander to stay while he
was ill.
There just aren't enough people
in the county who are willing to
take in poor people," she declared.
What we need is a State hospital
for the care of the chronically i'll.
At present, there are no institutions
in Maryland which will take in
chemically i'll, aged persons who
need nursing care"

Probe Of Reported
boarding Of Clothing
Ordered by Clark
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Attorney General Clark has
ordered an investigation of reported
boarding of clothing, especially
shirts, by manufacturers.
Both the Antitrust and the Grim
inal Divisions of the Justice De-
partment were ordered to investi-
gate complaints that clothing was
being withheld from the markets
the acting head of the Justice De-
partment public relations section
said last night.
Complaints are being received by
the department all the time about
the clothing situation" the official,
who refused use of his name, said,
adding: Returning veterans gen.
orally can not get clothes and what
they do get is high prices"
The official said the inquiry would
seek to determine Cd if clothing
was being boarded by the manufac-
turers and, if SO, for what purpose
and 90 if the alleged boarding vio-
lated Federal avs.
The Government will continue to
help manufacturers obtain rayon
and cotton. fabrics for inexpensive
garments at least through June 80
the Civilian Production Administra-
ton announced.
The agency said some time ago
that similar program setting aside
wooden materials for low and mod
erately priced clothing would be car
ried on until then.
Continuation of the programs be-
yond next June hinges on whether
Congress extends the second War
Powers Act, under which manufac-
turers receive priorities assistance.

There has been some talk of
boarding by manufacturers in the
hope of waiting out an OPA change

mitted this might be a logical ma

the industry but said he had received
assurances all his company's produc-
