lost his own cash investment and the taxpayers probably will be stuck with his house."
 Prefabs Disappoint He mentioned potential slum areas, where rows of cracker boxes for veterans now are rising. He said the Federal loan inspectors had turned down many such deals, but that he did not believe the loan standards were stiff enough to as- sure every house buyer his money s worth.
 Prefabricated houses so far have been a bitter disappointment, not because they're not good, but be- cause so few have been produced. The virtual end of commercial building is worrying the men who ordered it; they know that new fac- tories mean jobs for the owners of new houses.
 Next year, they hope, enough of a start will have been made on put ting roofs over the heads of the homeless that they can give little more cement and sewer pipe to the store and factory folks Now they've got their fingers crossed and if you kindly would build a four-famlly flat for rent to veterans, they'd ap- preciate it. They'd even insure 90 percent of the cost. They'd buy you a good cigar. They'd do everything, except-and this is the rub-guar- antee you profit.

Clerk Kills For $5 Loan
 Admits Murder
 At Cronston, R. l.

Cranston, R. T., Aug. 29.-UP) A slight, bespectacled clerk broke down under lie-detector test and confessed that he beat a fellow worker to death because the victim refused to loan him $5, police an- nounced today.
 Edward F. J. Conner, 35, of Cran- ston was booked On murder charge of staying of James J. Spell man, 58, of Providence, whose body was found Tuesday in a storage room at the plant where both were . employed.
 Spellman's head had been crushed and at first it was assumed he was the victim of fall.
 An autopsy. however, showed that the multiple skull fractures could not have been the result of an accident and police began inves- tigating. Their attention was focused on Conner when it was found that Spelhnan's billfold was missing.
 According to authorities, Conner slugged Spellman with steel bar after the latter had spurned his request for loan with the re- mark

ing to such one under such re- faxed conditions and I've got news both good and bad about that new house you want. The bad is plain awful; the good probably is better than you expect. Let's consider the cheerful side first:
 Supplies for Veterans
 The National Housing Agency will announce within a few more days that 100000 houses have been started so far this year. The new rules for lumber yards and building supply dealers are tough. They've got to hold on to better than 75 percent of their materials for sale to veterans building homes.
 This isn't for 30 days or even 60, but indefinitely" my man said. "In very few more weeks we be- lieve they will be looking up prior ity holders, begging them to buy shingles and bathtubs and electric light fixtures. A steady supply of materials will bring down the costs of houses, simply by eliminating delays. We have every hope that these 100000 new houses will be fin ished this year, and that many more thousands will be begun"
 That takes care of the good. The bad gives the housing men, them selves, the shudders. The average age of. World War veterans is 23; the housing experts know that most of them don't want to buy houses; they want to rent. Only nobody much is building flats and apart ments; they cost so much they're punk investments.
 ''So the desperate veteran is buy ing house instead of renting it," my official said. Some of these houses are all right. Others are jerry-built. The veteran gets his loan, moves into such place, and ouch. He finds he's been stung and when prices come down in a few years, he moves out. He will have

Last March II his father-in-law terminated the agree ment, the plaintiff claimed. It was alleged that the plaintiff lost earn ings as a result.
 The plaintiff also alleged that he had built up the taver into a valuable business while he was op- orator.

 Ills Excess Women's Weor
 Goods Pile Up

Washington, Aug. 29-tUP)--The government was advised today, in the midst of a still-acute shortage of mems suits, that the women's suit market is beginning to sag be- cause of an over-supply of fabric.
 Cloth for women's garments is backing up at mills because manu- lecturers have more than enough to fill current demand, the wool and worsted industry advisory commit tee told Civilian Production Admin istration officials.
 The industry urged CPA to lift it's controls on wool fabric. CPA has been allocating fabric to mems suit manufacture to assure steady production of low-cost mems suits.
 CPA Deputy Administrator Philip F. Mcguire told the industry that although produ ton of wool fabric is increasing, mems suit manufac- turers still do not have enough to meet their needs. Until they do, he emphasized, CPA will continue to allocate wool fabric to them.

Boy Is Glad Killing Secret FinoIIyout
 Won't Feor Dark
 Any More; Youth
 Held at BuffoIo

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 29-CUP)- Charles Hazlett, Jr. 13, who kept the accidental shooting of his play mate in Pittsburgh a secret foi eight months, said today he was thankful the secret was out.
 Now he wouldn't be afraid of the dark anymore, he said
 The youth, who was taken into custody Tuesday after workmen un- covered the skeleton of Michael Gerrich, 12, in the basement of Charles former home in Pittsburgh, was held in the matrons' quarters of the county jail while officials of two states argued about his extradi- ton to Pennsylvania. He spent his time reading comic books.
 Sheriff Intercedes
 Charles would be in a jail cell if Sheriff Arthur Britt hadn't inter ceded and arranged for him to be cared for by the matrons.
 The youth was arraigned in City Court on fugitive warrant yester- day after County Judge Hamilton Ward, Jr., refused to let Pittsburgh police take him into custody with out the formality of eXtradltion.
 City Judge John L. Kelly said he had no alternative but to send the youth to jail until his extradition papers were signed by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey Britt objected because of the boys youth. The judge said it was the law. Britt set up cot in the matrons' quarters and let Charles have the run of the rooms outside the women's cell block.
 Charles, who has been visiting his aunt, Mrs. Stella Smutek, here since July 2l, had planned to return to Pittsburgh Friday.
 "Unloaded" Gun
 According to the youths confes- sion. he shot the Gerrich boy while they were playing "holdup men" with an 'unloaded" gun. After listening to Mikes heart to make sure he was dead, Charles said he dragged his body into the basement and hid it in some ashes beneath pile of boxes and crates. Then he mopped up the blood on the kitchen floor and locked up the secret of the tragedy in his heart.
 It bothered him, he said, when he was left alone in the dark or had to go down into the basement where the body was hidden
 The body was discovered by new owner who was cleaning the base ment.
