Heating units will not be in
cluded in the plans because of
varying climatic conditions
throughout the country. Final
decision as to the type of heating
will be left to the veteran and his
local contractor.
Special features to be incor-
porated into the plans include
ramps instead of steps or stairs,
extra-wide halls and doorways,
larger rooms, special bathroom
arrangements and fixtures, and,
in some cases, exercising facili-
ties.
Veterans who qualify are en-
titled to grant not to exceed
so percent of the total cost OF
the home or a maximum of S10,-

a new home, to remodel an ex-
isting home or to liquidate in

The American Association of
Railroads has put an embargo on
all shipments to the west coast
in an effort to avoid piling up of
freight cars at the docks. How
ever, some shipments had already
reached the docks before the ern-

Layoffs may result as far back

other products are produced for

illegal by a competent court of
jurisdiction.
The other big stumbling block
to a settlement is the wage boost.
Employers have offered 10c an
hour, 15c for overtime. The un-

H.R. 4244 of the 80th Con-
gress provides certain paralyzed
veterans with federal grants up
to $4,000 for the purpose of
purchasing or remodeling homes
especially designed for wheel

ed forces since April 21, 1898,
who have a permanent, t o a |
service-connected disability, due
to a spinal cord disease or in
jury, resulting in paralysis of
the legs and lower part o the
body.
VA is required to ascertain
that it is medically feasible for
the veteran to live in such a
house, that its cost bears a prop
er relationship to his income and
that it is suitable to the particu-
lar veterans requirements.
The plans to be drafted by Mr..
Burrows will be furnished to
eligible veterans without charge
by VA.
To be developed are basic plans
for a two-bedroom home of 1000
square feet, net; a three-bed-
room unit of 1850 square feet,
net, and a four-bedroom unit OF
/ ,555 square feet, net.
Each unit will have combina-
ton utility and work room, a
one-car garage and a kitchen, and
suitable bathroom facilities.
At least two of the bedrooms
must be on the ground floor. In
the plans for three or four-bed-
room units, one or two of the
bedrooms may be on the second
floor.
No Easements are contemplate
ed.
Frame construction is planned,
with alternate plans for masonry
exterior walls.
