Mccarthy Predicts
Congressional Aid
For Veterans Housing

oCdllGOt MCSdi tI1y, SlloifA4oli VI
a subcommittee Of the Joint Hous-
ing Investigating Committee, pre-
dicted today that Congress would
havetp provide splne system Of. t.Govz
ernment help tosbuild honass fof
veterans.
The Wisconsin Senator, VINO re-
Gently completed a trip across the
country investigating housing con-
ditions, addressed the final session
of the CONSTRUCTION Industry Ad-
visory Council at the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
;. The average wage of returned
veterans runs around s42 or $43 a
week." he said. This means that
four, five or six million are making
somewhere around S35 a week.
"Private industry says it can't
build new rental units for S35 a
month. Unless we have serious
depression those men just won't be
able to find places to live for five or
six years.
United States Subsidy Seen.
Are you going to have some sys-
tenn of Government help? Frankly,
I think that's what we are going to
have to do, much as I dislike Fed
eral subsidies"
Senator Mccarthy said he believes
the necessary action can be accom-
plished with some system of help to
private enterprise.
Speakers today included Carl B.
Jansen, chairman of the Labor Re-
lations Committee of the Associated
General Contractors of America,
and Richard Gray, president OF the
Building and Construction Trades
Department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Mr.. Jansen, who is president of
the Dravo Corp, Pittsburgh, said
construction workmen are among
the best in American industry today.
They have been subjected gen.
orally to a vast amount OF under
served and unfair criticism for their
current productivity, although there
are undoubtedly specific cases for
which this is justifded," he said.
"The productivity of management
and labor is still far from perfect,
but the nearly 100000 men en-
ployed on contraction do not deserve
the abuse which they have received" ."
Higher Volume Cited.
Mr.. Grav said that between April
and September of this year the con-
struction industry increased the
physical volume of building by 27.5
per cent, using only 15.5 per cent
more man hours of labor.
The council adopted statement
of policies calling for a study OF
means of increasing production, en-
couragement of the engineered or
modular house program and main
tenance of a shelf" of planned prof.
ects to be launched when necessary
to stabilize construction activity.
The statement also called for the
modernization of building codes
expansion of apprentice training and
the encouragement Of community
action to help veterans obtain
housing.
Research Program Studied.
The Advisory Council had before
it a proposal to raise 100000 a year
for five years to finance a research
program for the building industry.
The new research program was
discussed yesterday by Raymond J.
Ashton, chairman of the councils
research activities committee and
former president Of the American
Institute of Architects, and by Dr.
Frank B. Jewett, chairman OF the
Building Research Advisory Board
set up to carry out the program,
and former president of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences.

Congress
Continued From First PageD

Of Indiana called on the President
to halt coal shipments abroad until
stockpiles at home are built up
for the winter. He threatened to
introduce a bill If the. President
fails to act.
while our own people are fac
ing exhausted stockpiles and an
approaching winter, we continue to
ship millions of tons OF coal each
month across the seas" Senator
Capehart said.
The Capehart statement clashes
with the interim aid bill because
State Department figures indicate
s165 100000 of the $597 100000 is for
coal.
Mr.. Truman's demand for author
ity to revive rationing and price
controls is almost certain to provoke
more controversy, despite the sug-
gestion yesterday of Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio that these two
recommendation be laid aside until
January.
Two other members of the Joint
Economic Committee, which begins
hearings at 2 pm. tomorrow on in
f1atfon problems, disagreed with
Chairman Taft.
Favor Debate at This Time.
They are Senators Flanders, Re
publican, of Vermont and Sparkman,
Democrat, of Alabama. Without
passing on the merits of the ration
ing and price control proposals Of
the President. both said they thought
the whole subject should be debated

Committee, also headed by Senator
Taft, has been called for 2 pm

eign aid and domestic controls.

DR.. Tuve, a Developer
Of Proximity Fuze,.
Wins $500 Award

DR.. Merle A. Tuve, director of the
department of terrestrial magnet
ism of the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington and director of the war
program which developed the prox-
unity uze-described as the second
greatest secret weapon of the war
received the $500 annual award of
the Research Corp. at dinner at
the Carlton last night.
The Research Corp. was estab-
lished to encourage and suosidize
scientific research when DR.. Fred
erick Cotrell of the Department of
Agriculture turned over to it his
patents for nitrogen precipitation.
Praised for Work.
For the last 20 years DR.. Tuve has
been a pioneer in some of the great
est developments in the physical
sciences, DR.. Joseph w. Barker,
president of the Research Corp, said
in his presentation address.
He was among the originators Of
the radio pulse exploration of the
ionosphere which was the forerun-
ner of radar, and developed here one
of the first om-smashing ma
chimes. He was one of the earliest
workers in the United States in
uranium flssion, the basis of the
atomic bomb.
Urges Humanistic View.
In his address of acceptance Dr..
Tuve described the purposes which
impel the scientist as essentially
spiritual and aesthetic, rather than
immediate practically. The real
motives, however, may be largely
subconscious, DR.. Tuve stressed, and
he urged return to more human
istic view of the world.
THE humanities, he said, "offer
key to the restoration of balance
in our lives. If I could command
the attention of the deans and
presidents of our great universities
I would tell them that the most
fruitful thing they could do would
be to seek out the great humanists
on their faculties and give them po-
sitions of prestige and influence
and resources even more conspicu-
Gus and generous than those of
their most brilliant scientific spe-
cialists."
