Probe Group Delays
Final Hearings on
Veterans HOUSING

The special House committee
probing the veterans housing
situation has postponed its final
public hearings until the week Of
July %.
The committee. headed by
Representative league, Democrat,
|of Texas, has been investigating
the practices Of the Veterans Ad-
ministration Washington area
office in the housing field. When
the final session is held, it will
wind up the work of the COM
mittee with the exception of its
report and recommendations for
legislation.
During the hearings the COM
mittee has heard numerous COM
plants of veteran home pur-
chasers in the Washington area
against builders. The committee
hopes to recommend legislation
that would protect the veteran
better against sharp practices in
the real estate field.
The VA handling Of the houS-
ling situation has come in for ex-
Itensive criticism during the hear
lings. Charges made include one
that VA officials allowed builders
to jump the price Of houses with
Iout justification.

the field"
Training should produce a
soldier with ability to Withstand
prolonged stress under varied con-
ditions. The time necessary to
inculcate the ability to perform
repeated road marches without i'll
effect can be much better spent in
other necessary fields in training
the modern soldier"
The colonel also took a whack
at speed" marching and said,
moreover, that road marches
should never be made on paved
roads.
Another cause of march frac-
ture, he said, Is "the presently
current game Of Chicken fighting
in which two soldiers engage in
the sadistic attempt to Jump on
their opponents feet"
Note to GIs: The colonel's re-
marks were carried in the U. S.
Armed Forces Medical Journal,
which says in its masthead that
"the opinions expressed in this
publication are not necessarily
those of the Army. Navy, Air

Anfi-Irus Action Filed
On MAGAZINE Distributors

The Government today brought
antitrust action against the
American News Co., and it's sub
sidiary, the Union News Co.,
charging them with conspiring to
monopolize the national news
stand distribution of magazines.
Attorney General McGranery
said the suit was filed in Federal
Court in New York City. where
both companies have their head
quarters.
An investigation indicated that
American handles more than half
of all the magazines sold by the
newsstand distribution method,
the Justice Department complaint
avowed.
Union News was described as
the worlds largest operator of
InewSstandS with exclusive conces-
sions at important railroad. bus
and airline terminals, leading
hotels and Office buildings and
other desirable locations.
The suit charged the existence
lof an agreement under which
Union News refuses to handle
magazines unless they are dis
ltributed by American News.
The court was asked to issue
an Injunction against these al
legged arrangements and to make
Union newSstands available with
out discrimination for the display
and sale Of magazines distributed
Iby others than American"
