The house is to be built on a
concrete slab or on wooden or
masonry piles or piers. The exterior
is to be finished in whatever local
supplies offer. It may be of wood
siding, shingles, stucco, brick or
local stone. The design will remain
the same.
The important point Is that the
roof structure is absolutely rectang-
ular and without breaks, dormers,
valleys or any of the architectural
features which add to the cost.
The four walls are straight and rec
tangular without breaks, bays or
changes of direction. The dividing
partitions in the interior of the
house are so arranged as to permit
of unusually light roof construc-
ton, as they furnish supporting
strength where it is most needed.

Prefubricoted Home Output
Big Disappointment to Date

The prefabricated home program,
held out early in the year as quick
source of houses to relieve the cur
rent shortage, has disappointed
lot of persons to date-and, it may
be said, has brought cheers and
scattered "I-told-you-so's" from
others.
About the only persons pleased
so far by the showing of prefabrica-

who opposed prefabs from the be-

Another price increase for
sugar is in store for consumers,
and the OPA may grant coffee
producers an increase that would
raise the retail price of coffee 3
to S cents a pound. The sugar
increase would amount to about

During the third quarter of this
year, bakeries will receive only 60

By the Associated Press

BAD NAUHEIM, Germany, June
l5.-Lt. Granville Cubage of Okla

fined $3.50 today on conviction by
an American Military Court of au-
thorizing and permitting "un-
authorized punishment" of Ameri-
can soldier prisoners at the Lich-

racks.
The prosecution had demanded
that Cubage not be allowed to shift
to superior officers the blame for
alleged brutality to American SOL
diers confined during the war in
the guardhouse of the 10th Re-
placement Depot at Lichfleld, Eng
land.
The 27-year -old Cubage was the
first officer tried in the Lichfleld
cases, which have produced testi-
mony of former prisoners that they
were dubbed, slugged and kicked
by soldier guards.
Like three enlisted men who we're
tried previously and convicted,
Cubage commended that Lichfield

by officers ranking above him.
