Easing Of Strict Curbs
On Housing Reported
Backed by Expediter
By ths As.oeios.d Press

A gradual lifting of the present
strict curbs on nonhome build
ing repeatedly is being advocated
by the new housing expediter,
Frank r. Creedon.
This disclosure came privately
from Government associates of the
new housing boss as Mr.. Creedpn
himself said that administration

today and probably tomorrow. hope
to shape up revamped housing
program by weeks end.
President Truman will take pal {
in the deliberations and probably
will issue a statement tomorrow
1t was taken for granted that the
web of Federal controls left by VIII
son Wyatt, who resigned last week,
would be loosened to some extent,
but Senator Stewart, Democrat, OF
Tennessee forecast that the new
Congress will go the whole way.
Hear Veterans Today.
Senator Stewart, chairman Of the
Senate Small Business Subcommit-
tee, now holding hearings on housing
decontrol, heard testimony today
from leaders of veterans groups op-
posing removal Of controls on hous-
ing construction materials. A pa
rade of industry spokesmen already
has urged the scuttling of all build
ing restrictions.
= Today's witnesses were Omar
Ketchura, directors of the Nationst
Legislative Service of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and Jack Hardy,
past national commander of the
American Veterans OF World War II.
Mr.. Ketchum said the VF'W wanted
supervision over the ALLEGATION Of
building materials to continue until
the emergency was over and veterans
were more adequately housed.
Asked by Chairman Stewart how
long he thought the emergency
would last, Mr.. Ketchum estimated
from year to two years.
He said the national commander
of the VFW, Louis E. Starr, in the
last few days had asked President
Truman to continue three measures
the Governments emergency hous-
ing program, rent control in some
form and ALLEGATION of building
materials
While the VFW advocated the
lifting of OPA ceilings on these
products, Mr.. Ketchum pointed out,
it will continue to insist on rigid
controls of nonhousing construction
and the channneling of building
materials into veterans housing"
He told the committee the VFW Is

Republicans in House
Seek Way 10 Avert
Row on Floor Leader
BY Gould Lincoln

Various compromises to avert q
threatened row in the Republican
majority Of the new House between
Representative Halleck of Indiana
and Representative Brown Of Ohio
for the floor leadership are being
discussed informally by Republican
House members now returning to
Washington.
One Of these compromises would
make Mr.. Halleck Republican floor
leader and Mr.. Brown chairman of
the Republican Steering Committee
An Office usually held by the
Speaker when the Republicans are
In control.
A second suggestion Is that Mr..
Brown be made chairman of the
House Rules Committee, OF which
he is already member, with Mr..
Halleck as floor leader.
Mentioned as Liaison Officer.
A third, is that Mr. Brown become
liaison officer between Congress and
the Republican National Committee,
again with Mr.. Halleck as floor
leader.
Whether any Of these proposals
will work out is problematical. Some
Republicans believe it would be q
mistake to have an open conflict
between Mr.. Halleck, chairman of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, and Mr.. Brown, who was
campaign director at national COM
mittee headquarters for the Novem-
ber election; that this is no time
for Republicans, just coming into
control of Congress, to have seri-
Gus split.
It was learned on the highest
authority, however, that proposal
to take the Craftsmanship of the
Steering Committee from Repre-
sentative Martin of Massachusetts,,
the next Speaker, is out. Mr. Martin
will insist on that Craftsmanship.
Allen Seen Rules Head.
The Rules Committee chairman
ship, it was predicted, will go to
Representative Allen of Illinois, the
ranking Republican on the COM
mittee.
The Office Of liaison officer be-
tween the Republican National
Committee and Congress recently
became vacant through the resigna-
ton of former Senator Danaher Of
Connecticut. 1t was a full-time job
for him, at a salary of $4,000 year
If Mr.. Brown should be designated
for such service, 1t is expected he
would remain a member of the
House and work without a salary
from the national committee.

UNIV Counsel Seeks
Supreme Court Ruling
|0n Additional Phases
By Jones Y. Newton

The Supreme Court Is expected TO
announce Monday whether it will
include in the review of the John
n. Lewis contempt conviction case
new attacks made bw United Mine
Workers counsel on rulings OF Dis
trict Court Justice r. Alan Colds
borough In the trial of the union
and its boss.
Defense attorneys filed petition
late yesterday asking the high court
to rule on broader aspects OF the
conviction and fines assessed against
Mr.. Lewis and the union.
Ten questions were raised In the
unions request for a writ OF GER
tiorari. A similar petition from the
Government was granted by the Su-
preme Court which set the case for
hearing January IA. II the union
petition is approved, the cases will
be combined in the arguments.
Legality Of Fine Challenged.
The defense attacked the legality
of the $500, 600 fine levied against
the union and raised the question as
to whether the United Mine Work
ers, as an unincorporated associa-
ton, could be held responsible for
acts of Mr.. Lewis.
Mr., Lewis and the union were
found guilty of contempt for ignor-
ing q restraining order issued by
Justice Goldsborough November Is
designed to head on the Nations
wide coal strike OF November a.
The union and it'd president Mene
told specifically to recall q notice
terminating" the miners work con-
tract with the Government, which
led to the walkout. Mr.. Lewis per-
sonally was fined $4,000.
! Pointing out that the union Is
unincorporated, the new r1fdtion
asked the high court to hear
arguments and rule on whether the
UNIV can be held responsible for,
"Acts Of an individual officer,
member or agent In the absence OF
clear proof of actual participation
In, or actual authorization Of such
acts, or ratification Of such acts
after actual knowledge thereof"
Other Points Raised by Union.
Among other points which the
union seeks to raise in the Supreme
Court are:
l. Whether Justice Goldsborougf's
temporary restraining order against
Mr.. Lewis and the union on Novem-
ber Is, in advance of the strike, was
constitutional in view of the free
speech and anti-slavery amend
ments.
2. Whether the order was legal

advising veterans to refrain from
buying "the jerry-built, undersized
and oyerpficed housing being built
today"
Mr.. Hardy said the Amvets fee
that normally the Government
should not own or regulate housing
but he added:
I'm the present crisis we urge
continuation, for q reasonable pc
riod, of all controls set up to channel
building materials into veterans
housing and limit unessential COM
mercial and industrial construction.
Threat to Program Seen.
He expressed the opinion that te
lift housing priorities at this tint
would kill the veterans housing
program"

tiles, and a relaxation of rent con-
troll can all be expected after Con-
gress convenes, Senator Stewart tole

would benefit veterans instead Of
hurting their chances Of getting
new homes.
Possibly rent ceilings should be
increased now by some percentage,
Senator Stewart suggested, "anc
perhaps 1t would be best to remove
entirely the $4,000 ceiling on new
houses fairly soon"
Must Lift Restraints.
The Tennessee Senator pointed t6
testimony in the last two days from
real estate and builders represents
tives that housing costs can be re-
duced only If industry Is freed o1
restraints and permitted to &c
ahead with the building of "a great
surplus of houses"
Mr.. Creedon, appointed by Pres
ident Truman yesterday to replace
Mr.. Wyatt, was represented as be-
lieving, however, that it would be
impossible to wipe out Immediately
The limitations on store, factory, Of
flee and other nonresidential build
ing.
To do so would touch on scram-
BILE for materials, Mr.. Creedons as
sociates quoted him as saying,
which would make 1t impossible for
either home or other builders to get
enough.
= Retarding Expansion.
However, it was stated, Mr.. Cree
don believes the, present $35 900 900
a-week limit on nonhousing con-
struction is SO low 1t Is retarding
business expansion.
Mr.. Creedon told reporters only
that he had made some recon-
at yesterday after
moons White House conference with
Mr.. Truman, Presidential Assistant
John r. Steelman and other key
officials.
He would not elaborate, but when
asked whether he proposed to start
from the ground up" in shaping the
housing drive, the former construc-
ton engineer replied:
I'VE are considering the housing
as Of today-yes.

UNITED States TO RESERVE
rights In PACIFIC region

Lake Success, N. Y, Nov. 7-(P)--
The United States made. it clear to-
day that she would rcscrVessWecpihg
rights, especially militaryst in the
Japanese-mandatcd islands which
President Truman offered last night
to place under United Nations trus-.
tccship.
One delegate, who did not want to
be identified. said the military
rights demanded by The United
States were exactly the same as
she would have il she annexed the
Islands outright.
The United States terms for
turning the iSlandS-the MarshallS,
+Carolincs and Marianas-over to the
United Nations are outlined in a
draft treaty now being circulated
among the eleven members of the
Security Council and two other M
tons, New Zealand and the Philip
pines. Disclosure of the terms gave
rise to immediate speculation tina.
Russia would almost certainly attack
tho proposals and might possibly
also veto them i'll the Security
Council.

In the latter event, the islands
would continue in their present sta
tuS as occupied enemy territory.
The draft agreement not only res
erves to the United States unrcstri-
ctcd rights to establish military,
naval and air bases within the trust
territory, but provides that any or
all of the area may be declared clos

that the United States would be able
To bar United Nations inspection Of
the entire area il She desired to do
so.
Other sweeping provisions of the

/. The U. S., as sole administering
authority, could bar the aircraft OF
any other nation from entering the
