.8096 Vote Is Expected
In 38 u. 5.-0cqupied
Cities in Germany
BY the Assoeioted Press

FRANKFURT, May Fisherman
political leaders expect an 80 per
cent turnout tomorrow of the 2,278,-
422 voters registered for municipal
elections in 38 American-occupied
cities. The balloting will be watched
as a test of whether the Germans
under American rule are swinging
to the right or the left.
Most closely watched, observers
said, would be the German Com
munist Party, which already has
officials in the American appointed
state governments of greater Hesse
Bavaria, ard Wuerttemburg- Baden
The Communists are making a
strong bid for city support.
Edge Given to Mild Leftists.
American observers gave the edge
to the mildly leftist Social Demo
cratic Party, drawing strength from
short-rationed industrial and white
collar workers in such cities as
Stuttgart, Nuremberg. Kassel, Mann
helm, Karlsruhe and Regensburg.
In Moscow, a Tass dispatch to
the Soviet government newspaper
1zvestia said a secret circular of
the Social Democratic Party in
Szczecin (Stettin) showed that
British and Americans were sup
porting party leaders in efforts
co prevent union with the Com
munists. The formation of Elm
heit. new Socialist party, by
German Communists and some
Social Democrats, was announced
last month in Berlin, but there
is only minor representation from
the British, French and Ameri-
can zones, where Social Demo-
crat strongly oppose fusionD
Tomorrow's balloting will be tht
first free elections for German city
populations in 13 years. Joint city.
county councils will be chosen in tht

Frankfurt and Munich.

today, delaying formal proclamation
of Manuel A. Roxas' election as
President of the republic.
A joint session of the House and
Senate is required to certify the re-

over the number of votes needed to

Jose Avelino, who was designated
Senate president at caucus of
Mr.. Roxas' majority party Friday
contended that a simple majority
was sufficient for organization, be-
cause the body did not yet have any
rules of procedure.

The minority, led by Tomas Con-
fesor, former Philippine delegate
on the Far Eastern Commission and
popular guerrilla leader during the
war, contended the rules of the pre-.
war Senate should apply, and his
group left the meeting.

of the Congress is scheduled fol-
Monday.
The House of Representatives
easily elected Majority Leader
Eugenio Perez as its speaker. but
both House and Senate quarreleo
over seating of various members
Mr. Confesor challenged the seat
ing OF three Roax Senators on the
ground that they were under in
dictment on charges of collaborating
with the japanese. There was nc
decision because of the minority
walkout.
Indicted Men Are Seated.
Three Roax supporters in the
House, also under indictment, were
seated after a hot debate
Luis Taruc, leader of the militant
Hukbalahap guerrilla organization
was prevented from taking the oatt
by majority resolution introduced
by the RoaX majority.
Mr.. Roxas, meanwhile, expressed
skepticism of reports that the Hulk.
balahaps were planning an uprising
on Inauguration day. The president
elect told reporters he considered
the reports provocative and ire
sponsible," but admitted that ther'

D. {. Builders Charqe
FPHA Is 'Hoarding'
Scarce Materials
By Robert J. Lewis

District home builders last night
charged that the Federal Public
Housing Authority was "hoarding"
critical materials for use in vet
erans' temporary housing projects
in the District area, and pointed
to warehouse area established at
1911 Kenilworth avenue, Benning,
Md, which contains about 80 car
loads of lumber, nails and other
supplies.
FPHA officials denied there was
any boarding, however, and said
that the warehouse area, including
a railroad siding, had been put into
use in March as point where Gov
eminent surplus materials are re-
ceived and distributed as needed to
projects under construction here.
In statement, the Home Build
ers Association of Metropolitan
Washington said builders were
amazed to learn that FPHA has
been stockpiling critical supplies of
building materials for the last sev-
eral months in nearby storage
yard.
Permanent Homes Stopped.
with permanent veterans hous-
ing stopped in the midst of con-
struction for lack of nails and lum-
ber," the statement continued, "pri-
vate builders and supply dealers
could use the FPHA boarded mate
rials Immediately"
A reporter and photographer
from The Star visited the ware
house area yesterday. Michael M.
Miller, 432 EvartS street NE, a
veteran who is the yard supervisor,
SAID materials on hand represented
about 30 carloads, mostly in 16, 8.
and 4 penny common nails, and
2-lnch by 3-inch, pinch by Pinch
and l-lnch by 3-inch boards.
In addition, there was some mill
work and trim, scraps of pipe, a
small amount of roofing paper and
about $500 rolls of building paper
for floor insulation.
Usable in Low-Cost Units.
Builders described the lumber as
of the type usable in low-cost homes.
Mr.. Miller and William A. Bogren,
2628 Monroe street NE, another
veteran employed by F'PHA, said a
great deal of the Jumper had come
from manufacturer in Salisbury,
N. c., who at one time had been
turning out temporary dwellings for
lease-lend shipment to England, and
from Arbutus, Md, and Baltimore.
Materials collected here, as well as
other supplies on hand and to be
acquired later by FPHA from Gov
ernment surpluses and in the open
market, are intended for The Dis
trict's share of 100000 temporary
dwellings for which Congress ap-
propriated S445, ,627 900.
IhlS money was provided so that
FPHA could cut temporary war
housing and Army and Navy bar
racks into panels, transport it where
needed, and then convert and re-
construct it on sites provided hy
municipalities and colleges for use
OF servicemen and veterans and
their families.
The District area so far has been
allotted 2,846 units of such housing,
OF which the District government
will get $50 dwelling units.

President Pledges
Full U. 5. Support 10
u. n. Social Council
By the Assoeiuted Press

NEW YORK, May 25-President
Truman today pledged the full sup
port of the United States to the
United Nations Economic and So
cial Council in its struggle to make
peace a reality" and advance
fundamental rights of man through
the world"
The Presidents declaration was
made in a message of welcome read
to the council by American Dele
gate John G. Winant as the eco
nomic and social agency opened it's
first New York meeting to tackle
the long-range problem of remov-
ing the causes of war.
Mr.. Truman pointed out that the
council had the heavy task of mo-
biliZing "the constructive forces of
mankind for the victories of peace"
just as the Security Council had the
responsibility for removing new
threats to peace.
Your task" his message said, "is
to achieve freedom from want, to
encourage production, help to open
up transport and clear communica-
tions, and to assure higher stand
ards of living.
ut is for you to promote fuller
recognition of the dignity and
worth of the human person, and
to advance fundamental rights of
man through the world.
ITO this great task the United
States pledges its full support"
Confined to FOrmalities.
Today's session was confined
largely to opening formalities, in
cluding addresses by Sir Rama
swami Mudaliar Of India, president
of the council, and Trygve Lie,
secretary-general of the United
Nations.
Mr.. Lie told the 18 delegates that
the world looked to the council and
to the United Nations 'for effective
leadership in solving a thousand
and one social and economic trou-
bles which mankind has never been
able to solve by individual, COM
munity or national effort"
He said the nations of the world
by creating the Economic and So
cial Council, have shown their de-
termination to make human well
fare one of the first objectives of
their collaboration"
They have recognized the fact
he declared. that misery is one of
the fundamental causes of war and
that their ultimate success in pre-
venting war will depend upon their
ability to spread material and social
well-being wherever people live"
Brooke ClaXton, Canada's repre-
sentative, told the Council that ir
the face of atomic bombs and new
weapons of war I'VE must work to-
gether or perish together
Feonov Questions Item.
Nikolai Feonov. Russian delegate
took issue with the inclusion of an
agenda item having to do with the
question of the United Nations as
suming functions and powers con-
nected with public loans Issued with
the assistance of the League of Ma
| tions.
Mr.. Feonov declared that such
action contradicted earlier action
by the U. N. General Assembly The
chairman merely ruled that the item,
would remain on the agenda and
the Soviet delegate could present
his arguments for having it removed
when it came up.
The Council is expected to remain
in session for a month or more
working primarily on reports of the
numerous commissions which have
been drafting plans of organization
and studying other problems fol
some weeks.
The next meeting will be held al

Materials acquired for this area
have thus far been far below what is
needed for completion of the pro-
gram, and below the quantities
needed to assure continued unin-
'terrupted operations" FPHA said.
Nail Stockpile Criticized.
Mr.. Henry, speaking for builders,
.said it is 'incomprehensible" that
Government agency should be al
lowed to acquire and store more
nails than can be found in all the
normal supply houses in this entire
area"
THE veteran he added, "is be-
ing denied good permanent housing
while FPHA wastes good materials
and precious time in trying to keep
them waiting for regimented dormi-
tories. 1t doesn't make sense and
should be investigated"
An FPHA spokesman said that
the agency is entitled under the law
to transfer as much as it needs of
surplus Government materials to
the veterans temporary housing
program, but that in order to open
up surplus stocks to private indus
try and others it has limited itself
to a 90-day supply.
whenever the total acquisitions
on a Nationwide basis exceed the
90-day supply needed to assure un-
interrupted operations on projects
under construction" a spokesman
said, materials are re-declared sur
plus to the War Assets Administra-
ton"
Slowed by Shortages.
The official said that FPHA was
suffering from shortages in prac-
tically every building item for the
first 100000 dwellings. Acquisition
of materials for the second 100000
dwellings has not started, he said.
AS of May /, FPHA said, it had
only % per cent of 90-day supply
of lumber, boards and millwork; 10
per cent of exterior wallboard, 2
per cent of interior wallboard, 63
per cent of nails; 20 per cent of
paint; 2 per cent cast-iron soil pipe;
Y per cent of plumbing fixtures; Is
per cent of heaters; l per cent of
ranges, and 2 per cent of ice boxes.
The FPHA spokesman pointed out
the program was undertaken "at
! the request of Congress as a means
of providing emergency homes for
veterans families in greatest dis
tress within the shortest possible
time and with the least possible use
of materials needed for permanent
homes"
