NEW PLAN-Next years fresh
men at the University of Delaware
will be the first class to enjoy the
advantages of the unit plan for
room and board.
Under this plan a student engag-
es both room and board for the full
week.
This will insure accommodations
being available for those students
who want to live on the campus the
full week.
The new plan will automatically
apply to successive entering class
es, so that over the period of the
next four years all resident students
at the university will be covered by
this plan.
Meanwhile, upperclassmen as
signed dormitory rooms will be re-
quired. beginning next year, to OBJ
tain some form of university dining
accommodations.
Dining facilities operated by frat
ernities, under university super
vision, will be continued.
Students who obtain their meals
in payment for work done are not
affected by this plan.

Hoffman Scores 7
Fishermen Using
Government Cars.

Representative Hoffman, Re
publican, Of Michigan, is con-
cerned about what he believes Is
Federal employees use Of Govern
ment cars for their private pur-
poses and especially when it brings
competitors to his fishing holes.
An ardent fisherman, Mr.. Hoff-
man brought up the question of
the use Of Government automo-
biles at a hearing held today by a
House expenditures subcommittee
The subcommittee has before 1t
a bill that would give the General
Services Administration authority
over Government cars.
Mr.. Hoffman said. with only the
bitterness a frustrated fisherman
can summon, that there had been
occasions when he has driven to
fishing holes, paying for his own
gasoline, and found three Gov
ernment employees who had
reached the spot ahead of him in
Government cars and at Govern
ment expense.
Jess Larson, head Of GSA, said
that, If he was given supervision
Of Government automobiles, there
would be fewer cars and less use
OF them.

1850 More Schools
Possible in Current
Materials Allotment

Construction Of an additional
$500 new elementary and high
school buildings viii be possible
under the allotment Of steel and
other critical materials now being
|processed by the Once Of .Educa-
tion.
The allotments for the second
quarter will allow continued con-
|struction of some 1000 projects
underway. In addition, the allot-
|ments will be sufficient to start
some 1,500 new projects.
Two projects In the District are
included in the second quarter
lallotmentS third -story additions
for the Turner and Richardson
Elementary Schools--and q num-
[ber In the nearby counties also.
These include fiye projects in
Prince Georges County and three
in Montgomery County.
The Once Of Education said it
also was beginning Its estimates Of
the steel needs In the third quar-
ter for transmissal to the Defense
Production Administration. The
DPA sets the amount Of steel and
other metals available for school
construction and the Once Of Ed
ucation allots it.
The allotment for the second
Quarter provides for about three
times the number Of new projects
anticipated several months ago.
But the Office Of Education said
this is no sign the shortage is over.
Conservation of metal through re-
designing Of school buildings ac-
counted for much Of the saving.

House Unit Approves
Lease Purchase Plan
To Acquire Buildings
By Froneis P. DouoIos

A proposal that Government
buildings be erected or acquired
through lease-purchase agree
ments-a sort of deferred pay
ments arrangement-was a step
nearer authorization today.
A House Expenditures Suhconi-
Inittee voted yesterday to report
favorably to the full committee a
bin authorizing the General Serv-
ices Administration to enter into
leaSe-purchaSe contracts.
A similar bin is pending in the
Senate, having been approved by
the Senate Expenditures Commit
tee.
II the measure becomes law, it
Is probable that the Government
win seek to use the lease purchase
plan for building dispersed build
ings, providing also that the dis
persal bill becomes law.
Would Cut Fund Need.
Using that method to finance
the four Office buildings proposed
to be erected within a 20-mile
radius Of downtown Washington
would materially reduce the
amount of any appropriation
needed to finance the program.
The lease-purchase bill would
authorize GSA to make lease
purchase contracts for periods ex-
tending from 8 to Is years. The
Government would be authorized
to apply funds appropriated for
rent payments to the lease-pur-
chase contracts. The rental paid
over the period Of the contract
would include interest. taxes and
other charges. as well as the cost
OF the building purchased or
erected at Government specifica-
tions.,.sAt the end Of the contract
period. the Government would own
the building.
One Of the arguments for the
measure has been the fact that
the Government. in many cases.
has rented the same building
from year to year, for 40 or so
years. paying total in rent sew
eral times the value Of the prop
erty.
Decentralization Deferred.
) One of the sections of the bill
provides use Of the lease-purchase
method for financing the con-
struction Of buildings on land the
Government owns.
The action on this bill fol-
lowed q vote by the House sub
committee to defer action on the
decentralization bill, which would
provide for moving to other cities
Government activities with $4,000
employees. This would be deferred
to give Congress an opportunity
to consider the dispersal program.
The subcommittee. which is
headed by Representative Holi-
field. Democrat. Of California, set
for Monday hearings on bill to
give GSA wide authority over
Government-owned automobiles
and their use and Government
furniture.

|Manpower Experts
TO Meet on Regional
Unemployment Today
BY the As.oeiaisd Pres.

A committee of top-flight man
power experts. including Assistant
Defense Secretary Anna Rosen-
berg, scheduled its first session
this afternoon in an attack on
regional unemployment.
/. Arthur s. Flemming. in charge
of manpower under Defense
Mobilizer Charles Wilson. called
the meeting as the opening move
in carrying out a recent order
designed to channel defense con-
tracts into the most seriously hit
unemployment areas-even if bids
from other areas offer to do the
job for less.
That order, put out by Mr..
Wilson, brought a storm of pro-
test last week from Southern
Senators and Representatives.
They said they were fearful 1t
might deprive the South, espe-
Icially Southern textile mills, OF
millions Of dollars worth Of Gov
eminent contracts.
Skills to Be Explored.
The new 11-man committee will
ask the Labor Department to find
out what areas have the most
critical unemployment: investi-
gate the areas themselves, to see
whether they contain labor Skills
needed in defense work, and ask
production agencies to supply the
nature and extent of defense IA
cilities in the areas which the
committee decides need help.
Yesterday Representative Roose-
velt. Democrat Liberal, Of New
York accused Mr.. Wilson Of hav-
ing 'purposely delayed" in the
designation of New York City as a
critical unemployment area.
Mr.. Flemming. asked for COM
ment on that. told a reporter the
surplus areas to get eventual aid
haven't yet been designated.
Before that happens, the CON-
mittee must cover a huge amount
Of ground and make decisions on
questions like these:
/. How many of the % Sub
stantial" unemployment areas now
listed by the Labor Department
should get aid?
Pay DifferentiaI.
2. How much more should pro-
.curement agencies be allowed to
pay for a contract channeled into
an unemployment area when
another contractor offers to do the
job cheaper?
Is 8. Which OF the areas desig-
mated for help should get 1t first?
B The surplus manpower commit
tee, in addition to Mr.. Flemming
and Mrs. Rosenberg. is expected
to include: John Small, head of
the Munitions Board; Robert C.
Goodwin, head of the Labor De-
partment's Bureau of Employment
Security; r. E. Gilmer, repre-
senting the Defense Production
Agency Steven Wood, for the
General Services Administration,
and one Representative each for
the Army. Navy. Air Force, Atomic
Energy Commission, Small De-
fense Plants Corp. and National
