lnjectors Are Proposed
As Nerve Gas Defense
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 23.-Chem-
lists in a Cleveland concern have
been manufacturing thousands of
injectors to be used in case of q
nerve gas attack on the United
States.
This was announced for the first
time today by the manufacturers,
Strong Cob & Co., Inc. The firm
said it is now permitted to make
this disclosure because some in
jectors are being distributed to
civil defense units.
The injectors contain morphine
and end in a long hypodermic
needle. Any one affected by nerve
gas is inoculated.
Nerve gases were developed by
the Germans during the last war
but were never used. They yield
poisonous liquids which in strong
doses cause death, in lesser
amounts epiloptic-l convulsions
and contractions of the muscles.

Cost Of F|uoridation
|0f Wafer Here Put at
10c a Person Yearly

Fluoridation of the Washington
water supply would cost not more
than 10 cents a year per person
and would prevent much tooth
decay. a group of doctors, den
lists. and engineers were told
yesterday.
The meeting was held in the
Municipal Center to enlist sup
port for the Health Department S
plan to use huoride in District
drinking water.
Meanwhile, the National Pro-
duction Authority took action to-
day to assure chlorine supplies for
public needs and to divide the
defense orders among chlorine
producers.
The agency ordered producers
and distributors to continue filing
orders from their 1850 purchasers
of chlorine who use it to purify
water or in the treatment of sew

of the Bureau of Dental Services
of the Health Department has
been one of the prime movers for
use of fuoride in drinking water
here. He said studies conducted
in widely separated parts of the
country, have demonstrated that,
during the formative period of
teeth. there is a go to IS per cent
reduction in dental troubles where
f1uoride is used in the water.
Edwin A. Schmitt, chief en-
gineer of the Water Supply Di-
vision of the Washington Aque-
duct, said estimates by his Office

District Builders Split
Sharply Over Stand
|0n Housing Measure
By Robert }. Lewis
Stor Sfoff Coyvsspordeni

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Members
of the Washington delegation to
the Nations home builders, con-
vention. here were sharply split
today over whether to throw their
influence in favor of the multi
billion dollar defense housing bill
or whether to oppose 1t.
The District delegation sought
to reach agreement on q position
regarding the controversial meas
ure last night but could not.
The legislation also has split
the National Association of Home
Builders Board of Directors, which
took it up again today after fail
ing to reach agreement on the bill
at their first meeting yesterday.
The bill would grant sweeping
standby authority to Raymond
M. Foley, Housing and Home
Finance administrator, to deal
with defense housing problems.
Emerges As Chief Issue.
It also would authorize So billion
in additional FILA financing for
private-enterprise housing and
about SIPS million for Govern
ment-owned defense housing, in
addition Ito about $25 million for
site acquisition and other purposes.
What stand the convention will
take on the newly introduced bill
on which Senate Banking Com
mittee hearings now are being
held has emerged as the chief
issue in meetings Of the di-
rectorS.
Senator Dirksen. Republican, of
Illinois yesterday denounced the
bill in a general convention ses-
sion and said he definitely will
not vote for it in it's present
form"
The Senator, a member of the
Senate Banking Committee.
added: "Under the cloak of the
defense emergency, it is the
longest step toward the sociali-
zation of housing that has yet
been proposed.
Opposes Housing Gear.
"In its present form. you could
find authority for the housing ad-
minsitrator to do almost anything
he wanted to. It would set him
up as a car over building activity.
'They say this is standby legis-
lation, and not needed at once.
I say let them come to Congress
with what they need when they
need it. Well have plenty of time
to give them what they need at
that time"
A long session of the Washing
ton delegation last night took
up the measure section by sec
tion to acquaint members with
its provisions. A number Of men,
bers indicated they thought the
measure was unnecessary in its
present form.
Others saw no great fault IN
the bill and favored registering
approval of it without change.

Truman Names PaIev
10 Head Unit on Study
Of Supply, Shortages
By Froncis P. DouoIos

The Government was launched
today on study of the Nations
long-range supply problems and
the possible danger of the rearm-
ament program strangling eco
nomic expansion.
President Truman yesterday
named William S. Paley, chair
man of the board of the Columbia
Broadcasting System, to head a
Raw Materials Policy Commission.
In setting up the commission Mr..
Truman said:
We cannot allow shortages of
materials to jeopardize our ma
tional security or to become
bottleneck to our economic ex-
pansion. BY wise planning and
determined action we can meet
our essential needs for military
security, civilian welfare and the
continued economic growth of the
United States"
Others on Commission.
Named to serve with Mr.. Paley
were George Rufus Brown, busi-
nesSman of Houston, Tex: Eric
Hodgins, New Milford, Conn, edi-
tor and author; Arthur H. Bunker
Of New York. banker and presi-
dent of the Climax Molybdenum
Co., and Edward S. Mason, dean of
the. Harvard Graduate School of
Public Administration.
MIR. Truman asked the commits
sion to report in six to nine months
after studying these factors: The
-long-range outlook for require
ments and supply; the prospect of
shortages and their estimated ex-
tent. and the consistency and
adequacy" of Government policies,
plans and programs and private
industry practices.
One of the chief problems the
commission will study is that of
metal scarcity. A number of
metals have come into wide use
only in recent years and in many
instances We are dependent on
foreign sources for supplies.

Meanwhile, William H. Harri-
son continued to mark time before
setting up the new Defense Pro-
duction Administration. Senator

sent to the Senate a few days
later.
Senator Holland, Democrat, of
Florida moved yesterday to place
Mr.. Harrison's nomination before
the Senate, but Senator Connally
interviewed and Senator Holland
withdrew his motion.
Question is Raised.
Senator Connally told reporters
later that some one from his State
had raised a question he wanted

against specializing too much on
his motives and said, Il don't even
know whether I'll oppose him.
With price controls holding the
center OF the stage. the Economic
