BUILDERS REPORT

The Building Research Insti-
tute will conduct a two-day con-
ference on Windows and Glass
in the Exterior of Buildings" in
the United States Chamber of
Commerce building here on No
vember IA and Is.
Aim of the conference will be
to report on the newest and most
interesting developments con-
corning use of glass, to describe
problems that exist in the field
and point the way to research
that needs to be done.
Speakers will include archi-
tects. engineers, technologiStS,
educators and research men.
The conference will be divided
into five sessions which will take
up: Functions of the Building
Environment" Product Engi-
neering," Controls" "StaAd-
ardization" and Design Appli-
cations"
How a "trade-in" home pro-
gram has been developed and
operated successfully by five
pioneers in the field is told in
a new series of six booklets that
are available to the building in
dustry.
Five of the six booklets give
detailed case histories of the
planning. procedures and tech
niques used by each of the men
to carry out the program. The
five men comprise three home
builders, a builder broker, and
a broker.
The sixth booklet summarizes
the experience of winners in the
trade-in division of the Acapul-
CO Derby, a merchandising COM
petition sponsored by the Min
neapolis Honeywell Regulator
Co., which also published the
booklets. The full set may be
purchased from the firm for 81.

Andrews Runs
ntoFight on
CitYLiquor Bill
Borro9e Of Question.
Greets Luwmuker
At Tex Hearings

representative Andrews, DEM
ocrat of Alabama, today cham
pioned his bill to put the Govern
rnent into the retail and whole
sale liquor business as a means
Of solving the Districts financial
headaches but ran into a barrage
Of questions and some stern OPP
position at today's city tax hear
ings.
He was the first witness before
the Joint House-Senate District
fiscal subcommittee considering
a $40 million new city tax pro-
gram and a proposal to hike the
Federal payment to $22 million.
Mr.. Andrews argued that
some Is States have the Gov
eminent store system and that
studies show their operations
bring in uniformly q net profit
Of 90 per cent.
He reported that whisky sales
here. under operation, amount
to about SIS million a year,
which would indicate that with
the same efficiency the Dis
trict could expect an excess over
costs Of some SIS million.
Doesn't Know Net Result
But he agreed there would be
some lost revenue If private
operators lost the big retail and
wholesale whisky business. He
said he did not know just Whist
the net result would be.
Numerous questions immedi-
ately came from members of the
joint committee. They ranged
from whether as q matter Of
policy the Government should 60
into the whisky business, whether
there would be any overall in
crease or loss in revenues and
whether the Government store
system would promote the manu-
facture and sale OF 'moonshine. /"
On the latter score. Senator
Beall, Republican Of Maryland.
quoted q report from the In
ternal Revenue Bureau to the
effect that Is per cent OF liquor
SOLD IN the country is illegally
manufactured.
Opposed By Spencer
Opposition was registered by
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
chairman of the Board of Com
missioners. On the policy cues
tion he declared the city heads
believe the District should not
engage in business that can be
handled adequately by private
persons 1t should do so, he
said, "only for the most COM
pelling reasons"
Mr.. Spencer said the change

would not only drive out of busi-
ness private operators but neces-
sarily would cause many en-
ployes to be thrown out of work
The Commissioner maintained
that District regulation of LIQUOR
industry is effective and ade-
quate, that a well-established
industry should not be DESTROYED
IN order to provide a source of
revenue and that no State had
switched to State store system
after a substantial private in
dustry had developed.
On the revenue angle. Mr..
Spencer said it was presumed
the District could operate whole
sale and retail liquor establish
ments and make a substantial
profit, but he added: There is
no certainty, however, that it
