as agreeing with Crawford'S state
ments."
A quick check by Chamber of
Commerce president, Mary Lee
Graham, revealed that it is gener-
ally believed among realtors and
major landlords here that there
are currently more dwelling units
available for rental in Key West
than there have been in the past
several years.
Alternate Courses
I'm the meantime, of course, if
the Navy finds it inadvisable to
transfer units from the area, it
will still leave two possibilities,
according to the Miami neWspap-
er: Cd Key West may be declared
critical housing area-thereby
coming once again under the dom
ination of federal rent control;
and/or (2) another large low
cost housing project may be erect
ed, Mrs. Graham's statement
continued.
II, however, a survey were to
prove that there is adequate hous-
ing here and at rents the average
serviceman can afford to pay,
neither of the above steps would
be practicable. Further and
more importantly this were prov
ed to be the case, the building of
another low-cost housing project
in this area might conceivably
prove economically disastrous to
the City in the event of future re-
ceSSion.
Survey Suggested
THE results of a survey listing
units available, their size and
cost could be submitted to inter-
ested bureaus in Washington in
order that they may have actual
facts and figures describing the ex-
act situation before any drastic fed
eral action is taken in the matter. 3"

About 5000 Houses

The District has between 5000
and 5000 houses that should be
condemned. Col. Giles L. Evans,
jr., Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner, told the Commissioners
yesterday.

sioners to approve an estimated

Col. Evans told the Commits
sioners the working force of the
Board of Condemnation of In

three additional inspectors and
one health condemnation aide.
He said the District would
need Is more public health en-
gineering inspectors and Is ad-
ditional building construction
inspectors with enough clerk
typistS to handle the extra
work.
Health engineering would have
primary responsibility for max
ing the first examinations of
dwellings and serving notices

posed new housing code. The
Health Department also would
supervise overcrowding provi-
sions of the code.
Razing Funds Sought.
Col. Evans said the Police De-
partment and the fire marshal's S
Office would need to supplement
inspection personnel from men
already in the police and fire
departments, but that probably
both departments would need
two additional men to help carry
the burden.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, asked
Col. Evans and Schuyler Lowe,
director Of general administra-
ton, to find out how funds could
be obtained to raze condemned
buildings. At present. the cost
of razing condemned buildings is
a lien on the property. but it
takes a year fol- the District to
collect the money.

Congress Drive Seen
To Break FpC Grip
On Gas Regulation

A Federal Power Commission
order setting up procedures for
regulating rates of independent
natural gas producers seemed
likely today to bring on a new
drive in Congress for a ban on
such regulation.
Senator Kerr, Democrat Of
Oklahoma, long a foe Of United
States control in this field, said
the order points up "the need
for corrective legislation by Con-
gress at an early date"
Senator Kerr'S reaction was
typical of that from legislators
representing gas producing
States.
On the other hand, lawmakers
from States which are heavy
users of natural gas applauded
the commissions move.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
Of Minnesota said any new bill
to remove the Federal agency's
power to regulate the rates will
be opposed vigorously"
The commission announced
the order yesterday in a surprise
move. It was in compliance
with a June q Supreme Court
decision in the Phillips Petro-
leum case.
The effect of the court ruling
was to place Phillips and about
400 other independent gas
producers under Federal juris-
diction in their dealings with
pipeline companies, including
the setting of rates.
The FPC- previously had held
the producers were not subject
to such regulation. However, it
moved yesterday to implement
the Supreme Court decision
without waiting for the formal
mandate to come down from the
high tribunal.
| The FPC order requires the
producers to apply for certifi-
Gates by October to authorize
them to transport and sell nat
ural gas In interstate commerce
Meanwhile, rates are frozen
at the wellhead price as Of june
z. No increase can be made
unless filed with the commission
which can then suspend the
higher rates and require hear
ingS.
/ The order applies to independ-
ent producers. The non-inde-
pendents-those affiliated with
interstate pipeline flrms-al-
ready are under Federal regula-
ton.

BARNUM, an old and honor
ed English surname, is of re-
latively simple origin. T h e
equivalent of Bearnham, it
stems from the Old English
"bearne" and ham" signify
ing respectively wood" n d
town. 1t therefore was be-
slowed, when SurnameS came
into vogue, upon those who liv-
ed in a town or community To-
Gated near or in a forest or
other woody area. 1t is said
that the family of BARNUM'
originated many centuries ago
in SouthWick, Hampshire coun-
ty, England. 1t should be not
ed also that BARNUM is of
the same meaning as Barnham;
but it has no connection with
