Radios artists are targets for all kinds of crackpot letters. James Melton, heard on Star Theater" over CBS Sunday nights, got one this week that still has him chuck ling. It was from a Philadelphia man who applied for the job of signing Melton's name to his pie lures He bragged that he was 8 great forger and could easily copy Melton's signature if allowed to work with sample for an hour. As reference, he cited two prison terms he served for forgeryl

from Chicago's Wrigley Field by WATR-ABC Saturday, Aug. 10, at 230 P. M, there won't be fan in the park more excited than Quiz Kids Stormy Berry, Il, and Lonny Lunde, 10, who have been chosen to serve as bat boys for the East and West teams.
 The bat boys will be working with Ty Cobb, the baseball great who is coaching the West squad, and Honus Wagner, the famed Flying Dutchman," who is tutoring the East.
 Both lads are baseball enthusiasts and are star players on their neigh borhood and school teams. In addi- ton, they are experts on baseball history and statistics and both are rabid Chicago Cub fans.

Dalton Tells Educators
OF GI HOUSING Provisions

Substantial aid" is offered by the
Wagner-Ellender-Taft general hous-
ing bill to educational institutions
now suffering from inadequate hous-
ing facilities, Neil Dalton, deputy
expediter for the Veterans Emer-
gency Housing Program, said this
week.
Speaking before the American
Council on Education, Mr.. Dalton
pointed out that the act provides
that educational institutions which
erect housing for student veterans
and their families can obtain 95 per
cent FHA insured loans to be repaid
over a period of 40 years at interest
rates of 312 per cent.

Bathtub in Poor Condition

QueStiOn-1S there anything we
could do to refinish a bathtub? Our
tub was in poor shape few years
ago and we painted it with enamel
Now this is chipping off and the
bathtub looks very badly. At the
present time it is almost impossible
to buy new tub. Any information
will be appreciated.
AnsWer-No paint or enamel can
be applied at home that would last
under the punishment of hot water
and soaps After the last of the
enamel that you applied has come
of you may be able to bleach the
tub with a laundry bleach, which
should whiten it somewhat. If the
porcelain is Clipped you can make
fairly good repair with a porcelain
enamel, but do not expect this to
last forever, either. 1t will have to
be renewed from time to time. One
Of our readers has written to say
that she bleached her tub with a
laundry bleach. After standing for
several hours she secured with fine
emery. I cannot indorse the emery
treatment altogether, for If applied
with too much force it might damage
the enamel of the tub still more.
Painting an Old Piano.
Question-We have just repainted
our living room and our old dark
upright piano looks very seedy by
contrast. Could we paint it to
harmonic with the new paintwork ?
Answer-For a good job get a
piano finisher. For a home job
first go over the surface with fine
sandpaper and wipe off the dust
with benzine or turpentine careful
of fire.! Apply a coat of enamel
undercoater, let dry, then sand
lightly and dust off Repeat with
Ia second coat. Finish with a good
grade of enamel. If the old finish
is very dark a first coat of aluminium
paint would be advisable to seal in
the stain.
Deodorizing Paint.
Question--Is there any prepara-
ton that can be added to paint
to take away the odor when working
indoors? If so would it have any
effect on the quality of the paint?
AnsWer-There is a commercial
product that is intended to be mixed
in with the paint to remove the

SteeIman Sees Need
OF Sound Pricing 10
Achieve Housing Aims
By Robert J. Lewis

The Steelman report this week
warned that progress in overcoming
difficulties facing the housing pro-
gram, and Of tying home construc-
tion into the general construction
picture efficiently, will be seriously
jeopardized" without "a sound pric-
Ing program"
This seventh report of the Office
OF War Mobilization and Recover
sion, given by Director John .R.
Steelman, devoted considerable at
tention to the construction achieve
ments to date, and to the problems
ahead.
Mr.. Steelman pointed out that
new construction valued at more
than 100000, 900, of which a third
represented housing, had been put
in place" in the first five months of
this year.
Exceeds Expectations.
This means, he said, that con-
struction is at a higher level than in
any similar period since 1943; that
home building is greater than for
any similar period in the last seven
years, and, in the number of starts,
Is nearing record proportions" and
that construction activity of all
kinds is proceeding at a faster pace
than was thought possible earlier
in the year"
He pointed out that before June,
406,000 new housing units had been
started, and that of these, 268 900
were conventional units.
He said that about 10000 prefabri-
Gated units were shipped from fac
tories during the first five months,
characterizing this production as
slower than anticipated" and pre-
dieting that the prefabricated pro-
gram would not be lin full swing"
until next year.
Materials Prime Factor.
He warned that in the nonresi-
dental field greatest caution" must
be exercised for the remainder of
the year" if housing is not to be
held back
The big job ahead is to increase
building materials production so
that it can handle both the full
home-building and nonhousing con-
struction programs, he pointed out.
Another problem of primary i'm
portance, he continued, is to assure

The Western Union Telegraph Co
has started construction of 90-foot
terminal radio tower at 1923 Forty
first street NV, linking Washington
to the company's new radio beam"
telegraph system being set up.
Other cities in the system will be
New York, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh. The project here will cost
100000.
The tower will be hexagonal and
faced with limestone, and was de-
signed to harmonic architecturally
with its surroundings, the company
said.
Steel towers, spaced Is to SIS miles
apart, depending on the terrain, are
being constructed at 81 radio relay
points OF the new system and are
due to be completed by January.

Godgets
Home Planning Kit
Makes Construction OF
Scale Model Eosy

Sometimes the cement between
bricks shrinks a little creating a
space through which water can
penetrate to the interior of the
house to the detriment of any wood
work with which it may come in
contact. Frequently, this is a local
condition that calls for only small
amount of material with which to
do repair job but, nevertheless, it
has been necessary to buy material
in large quantities, which has meant
waste of the unused portion.
This is no longer necessary be-
cause a thoughtful manufacturer
has come to the rescue of the home
owner by selling a waterproofing
pointing cement in a size useful to
homeoWners.
The pointing cement is in powder
form and it can be used for breaks
in brickwork, cement, stucco or
limestone. 1t is mixed by using
sufficient water to reduce the
powder to consistency about that
OF putty. 1t is very useful prepara-
ton for use in the garage or on
sidewalks that crack and allow the
moisture to freeze and often ruin
the pathway altogether if it Is al
lowed TO stay in that condition for
any length of time. Before using,
all old cement that has become
loose must be removed. After that,
the surface to be treated must be
thoroughly wet down. A garden hose
will be useful for that purpose. All
cracks and voids should be filled and
the material pressed in tightly with
a troWel, preferably pointing
trowel. If a waterproof cement
wash is needed, the material should
be mixed with enough water to make
a mix about the consistency of paint.
House Planning.
Although the prospects of being
able to build are rather in the dis
tance at the present time, it is not
too early to begin to decide what is
needed in the new home and how
the rooms should be laid out for the
greatest comfort and convenience.
Ihls is not as easy as it seems. First
suggestions are bound to be changed
many times before every member of
the family is satisfied that the plans
are the best possible.
To help in this matter of planning
a scale model is very useful. There
is home planning kit on the mar
ket intended to help the layman to
decide what he wants in the home.
A model is much easier to under
stand than a fiat drawing to the
amateur. This kit will provide that
needed INSTALLATION. No tools are
needed in working out the plans
and the layout can be changed as
often as desired or the whole plan
