ing be sought. There was no sec

jr., of Joliet. ILL.,, is architect for
the project.
The housing expediter also said
he thought that a house of the
type represented by the pilot
models would be suitable for con-
struction on Army camps and sta
tions under military housing legis-
lation now before Congress.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee, in
formed of the Woods house in a
letter, said if a house like that
could be built for $1,000, he could
not see why the military construc-
ton bill, pending before the COM
mittee, calls for construction of
7,798 row houses for servicemen at
a cost of $16,500 each,
"As a result of the recent rent
control survey we made, we have
been impressed with the intoler-
able housing conditions under
which many military families are
obliged to live" he said.
Start Is Needed.
Mr.. Woods added that he be-
lieved that small house of the
type the corporation has built
would be acceptable to many per-
sons over the country and only a
start is needed to prove it.
Somebody has to start a trend
and we thought we would try to
help do So" he said.
The new houses now being COM
pleted are known as rambler
cites" and contain one bedroom
living room. dining area and kitch.

chitecture is described as "modi.
fed modern" The house is built

husband, a construction worker
beat her for hours after he was
thrown out Of work by the recent

be sent to Gallinger Hospital for

band drank heavily after the
strike began and Judge Thomas
D. Quinn agreed to send him to

there wasn't q scrap of food left
in the house, Mrs. Martin testi-
fed.
She said the beating Saturday
was not the first time her husband
has beaten or "tormented" her.

torment" Mrs. Martin said:
Sometimes I've known him to
pin me down on the couch and
hit the wall with his fist beside
me for as long as two hours"
