 ReIoxes Low On Housing
 Priorities Aid For Seryicetne en,
 Farmers Offered
BY HELENE MONBERG TInikad Presx Staff CoFfeSuOnde


 Washington, April 12-(UP)-The government relaxed its restrictive emergency housing order today to permit many groups of non-veter- ans to construct new homes or other essential building.
 The civilian production admins tration and the National Housing Agency said priorities assistance now would be granted to service- men, veterans widows, farmers and other special groups.
 In addition, any home owner may make repairs or alterations which are absolutely necessary or will pro- vide additional living space, al- though priorities aid will not ge giv- en in such cases. This means they can do the work but must Scrape up materials wherever they can.
 Builders who were completing non-veteran housing started before March 26 also will be allowed to go ahead provided the sale price is under $15,0OO or the rental under $l20 month. C.P.A. officials said the step was taken to get such homes "out of the way fast"
 The action was taken following complaints that the housing order was too narrow to cover many de- Cont'd Page 1-(GOVERNMEN

Council Will .ointuin Own Court Action
 Independent { Hearing on Fox Suit { To Be Sought

The revaluation tax suit of the Council of Community Clubs VIII be pressed independently of any other similar actions now in court, 1t was ruled by the legislative conn anittee of the Council of Cotnr1tlTl- aty Clubs today.
 The ruling came in answer to the report of Attorney Frederick W. Beach, representing the Council, that the suit might be merged with that of Attorney John H. Cassidy. Both the Council and MT. Cassidy are plaintiffs in. suits against the City seeking to set aside the 1945 revaluation of prop srty.
 Meeting this morning with At torney William w. Gager co-coun- sel the legislative committee drew tip the following statement:
 Tt was decided that the Clubs law suit would be pressed for early trial independent of any other ac- ton. The pleadings are already closed and the case has been claim ed for the trial list.
 Upon the return of Attorney Gager a further meeting will be held to map out 8 plan whereby it is hoped that taxpayers may pay the City of Waterbury on account of taxes and be protected from rnak- ing a duplicate payment in the event that the 1945 assessment is held invalid.
 '"The Council has received no re- ply from Mayor Monagan as to the position the City will take as to tax payments which may be made on the t045 Grand List should it be declared invalid"
 Atty. Beach had declared that final disposition of the suit by merger with Atty. CaSsidy's suit was not yet set, but added should the two appear on the docket at similar times 1t is possible they would be merged to fight jointly"
 MT. Cassidy has already been joined in his suit by g other plain- tiffs. Attys. Walter w. Smyth and Continued Page 1+(COUNCTL)

Democratic .Bur,gling' Relations Criticized

Bangor, Me, April 12--(UP)- Former Gov Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, apparently laying the groundwork for a Republican presi- dential bid two years hence, charged today that Democratic bungling" in labor relations since V-J day has caused a $5,0O0,000, 900 loss in the American standard of living.
 Tn Keynote speech before some 1000 delegates to the Maine COP convention, the youthful former naval commander called for an Am erican policy in labor and foreign affairs which would bring both peace and world leadership to the nation.
 The nation, he said, must have a new labor policy because "adminis- tratjve bungling and ineptness i'll labor relations since V-J Day has caused a minimum of $5,O00 ,000,- 900 loss in the standard of living of the American people in 1946" It must be a point policy not anti-labor" which would include:
 l. Machinery for extensive nego- tiationS before strike takes place, respected by management and labor alike and enforced by law. This clearly involves negotiating period. fixed by government, during which either strike or lockout would be un- lawful
 2. Opportunity for employees to pass upon or vote upon the best of fer that has been developed in the negotiations before they go on strike.
 3. Some type of governmental labor court with the authority to make substantial decisions on the jurisdictions between labor unions
 Stassen said there should be a high standard of integrity and ef- ficiency among those who work for the government.
 The Republican party should pledge that it will not appoint men to high public office where special interests which they hold-whether 1t be oil or otherwise-could con- flict with their service to the people" he said

Five of the Council members Russia. Poland, Mexico, China and Australia-do not maintain diplo- matic relations with Spain now.
 France wants all United Nations to break relations with Spain.
 The United States, Great Britain. Brazil and the Netherlands oppose drastic action against Spain, leav- ing Egypt-the 1lth member of the Council-holding the balance of power when Poland's case against Spain comes to a vote. Both the U. s. and Britain hold veto power, however, over Council action. But it is doubtful whether the U. s. would exercise it's veto if a majority of the Council favored action against Spain.
 Difficult Spot
 The United Staes is in the diffi- cult position on Franco Spain of wanting to have it's cake and eat it. too.
 A State Department spokesman in Washington insisted that Secre- tary of State James F. Byrnes has not issued any instructions to Ed- ward R. Stettinius, Jr., U. S. dele- gate to the Security Council, on the Polish charges before the Council on Franco Spain.
 But it was learned from an ex- cellent authority close to Stettinius in New York that shortly after Poland filed its charges against Spain with the Council on Wednes- day, Byrnes informed Stettinius that he should:
 l. Not oppose Poland's effort to place the Spanish issue on the Councils agenda.
 2. Not oppose full discussion of Poland's charges against Spain. Contd Page 14-(U. s. FACED)

House Begins Draft Debate
 Extension Issue
 Appears TinekIish
By JAMES E. ROPER

United Press Stair correspondent
 Washington, April l2-(UP)-An election-c conscious House today bold ly plunged into debate on the poli- tically ticklish issue of extending the draft.
 House leaders hoped for a final vote tomorrow on bill to continue the Selective Service act for another nine months, until Feb. 15, 1947.
 In beginning debate, the House seized the initiative from the Senate, where the military affairs commit tee yesterday recommended full years draft extension. Senate Demo- cratic leader Alben w. Barclay. Ky, said. however, that the Senate would not take up the bill until it disposes of the British Loan, scheduled for consideration next week
 This left the House to make the first decision on matter that is not popular with the voters. And Senators will not feel obliged to vote. for anything stronger than the House accepts. The State, War, and Navy Departments, as well as top military leaders, have requested a one-year extension as the only means of guaranteeing that the United States will keep it's inter- national commitments.
 Both House and Senate hoped to link their draft extension bill with healthy pay increases that would attract so many volunteers that large-scale drafting would be un- necessary.
 The House bill would prohibit the Army from drafting men to. make an Army any larger than the now contemplated 1.070,0O0' on' July l. 1947. The Senate bill provides ad- ditionally that draftees must hot be used to make an Army. any larger than l.550.000 on this July l.
