PROBATION OFFICER HOLDS
2 YEAR-OLD CHILD
INCOMMUNICADO

at every turn This was corro-
borated by Mrs. r, L. Saxon
(white) employer Of the mother,
who attempted to reason with
the officer for the mother to see
the child, but failed in her role,
being told by Mrs. James that
the child stole the watch and by
keeping her from associating with
her mother, she would eventually
tell what she did with it"
When an attorney was called in
the case to perfect release of the
child, the officer had a grand lar
ceny charge placed against the
seven-year-old. The case was
set for Tuesday of this week,
Mrs. James entered the vicinity
of the girls home Saturday with
the girl to make another search
of the ditch filled with water aft
err Fridays torrential rain, only to
be met by aroused neighbors
who refused to let her subject
the child to any more inhuman
exposure. The child was suffer-
ing from a throat ailment, and
according to witnesses through
: out the affair, had lost consider
able weight since being in the
custody of the probation officer.
A talk with the physician sum-
moned by the employer of the
girls mother, who examined the
girl while in custody, showed
that the child was suffering from
an acute attack that could easily
come from any kind of exposure.
Mrs. Tharp, 1917 w. 18th St,
who accused the child of stealing
the watch, stated to a represen-
tative of this paper that she was
not and could not be positive
that the little girl took the watch.
She knows the watch is missing
and several children were in the
house playing when it was missed.
, Some time ago, the same pro-
baton officer held thirteen
year-old girl of the city, in
confinement for a week after
her case had been closed and
only rleased her when tickets
had been bought for her to leave
town, and even then forced her
to go direct from the detention
home to the railroad station. This
is reported by prominent persons
| familiar with the case.

medium size house.
Built to sell at $1,000 or $1,000, it
was the hit of the show. Yet WASH
ington builders, agreeing that it
was compact, we'll designed and
apparently practical, had mixed
opinions about whether it was suf-
flciently versatile.
For one thing, they said, 1t was
suitable for use only in a one-story
house of low or medium price If its
purpose of holding costs down were
to be met.
In case it were used in a two
story house, they pointed out, in
stallation Of an additional bath
room on the second floor would be
necessary, thus the additional ex-
penditure, they felt, would push it
out of the field for two-story, low
cost homes.
Cost Comparison Sought.

make cost comparisons when he
returned to Washington to deter
mine whether the unit actually
could match conventional methods

for extra materials production, !"
said the ave head, should be in
cluded in the Patman bill now be-
ing considered by the House of
Representatives. Such q provision
has the whole-hearted support Of
veterans everywhere.
The AVG chairman lashed out at
certain selfish business groups,
stating that without premium pay
ments, "the people who represent
such groups will bring pressure to
bear for general price increases in
building material prices"
If price ceilings are not included
in the pending measure, Mr.. Bolte
declared that home e-hungry vet

lative resale of houses, prices Of
which would mount higher and

Prefabricaied Homes
Output Estimated al
100000 in Year

Harry H. Steidle, manager of thu
Prefabricated Home Manufacturers
Institute, this week estimated tha,
70 existing prefabricating plants
throughout the country have facili-
ties to produce 1000 dwellings O,
the 250,000 goal set for the industry
by Wilson Wyatt, national housing
administrator.
He warned, however, that "unless
the Government hurries up the
plant to make materials available, ;
this years production of prefabs
will be greatly curtailed."
The industry operated during
January and February at from S
to 10 per cent Of capacity because
OF materials shortages, he said.
"We are not worried about having
sufhcient facilities to produce the
homes Mr.. Wyatt wants this year." "
Mr.. Steidle said. 1--WE are, however.
very much concerned as to whether
sufficient materials will be available
to keep the plants busy"
Factory made materials, he said,
can be converted into house ready
for occupancy in 10 to 20 days.
Other reasons why factory produc-
ton of homes is called for now is
that all raw materials are used
through line production methods
without waste, less material Is
needed and year-around employ
ment is possible without regard
to weather conditions.
Materials most urgently needed,
he said, are lumber, plywood, mill
work and flooring.
"The industry uses a minimum
quantity of brick, structural tile,
gypsum board, gypsum lath and cast
iron radiation, which constituted
five OF the 10 critical materials orgin-
ally listed by the Civilian Production
Administration" Mr.. Steidle said.
aluminium, steel shapes, plastics
and other materials will be used
extensively when they become avail
able" he added.

would mean two or three years from
now rather than in the immediate
future.
For the manufacturer was not
yet In production and couldn't ex-
pect to be before July. BY the end
of the year only 10000 units were
expected off the production line.
But Washington home builders
didn't overlook the news vistas
opened up in the new-home field by
this pioneering step. While they
now have their interest pinned to
solving the immediate problem of
getting start on big building
program, they nevertheless agreed
that this revolutionary development
portended many other changes in
the future.
