One builder questioned a state. ment by Wilson Wyatt, national housing expediter, who said that building material lines now are experiencing their highest pro duction. He suggested that if this production it t fact, the matter is not being channelled properly, since little of it is reaching vital housing construction.

All Items Scarce Lumber, except for the finished products, has not been very high on the list of critical materials here, it is indicated. Overshadow ing it are practically all other items needed for building, includ ing cement, plumbing fixtures, glass, nails, plaster and rock lath. Contractors have been forced to turn down applications of many would-be home-builders because these materials are not to be had. Commercial building is hitting snags in obtaining reinforcement iron and steel sash, required by the building code. One builder said that the only way to obtain tne ditticult ma terials is by a never-ceasing hunt, possible on individual projects, but prohibitive for contractors with a large number of jobs on hand. When obtainable, these items usually are in small lots only, probably enough for just one house. Many builders are turning to boards for batting for siding and using plywood for exteriors. Little Hope Seen Very little hope is held out for immediate easing of the situation. More and more housing projects are being held up at a time when need never has been so great. The demand has been building up since as far back as 1929. The vicious circle is completed In this area, where the housing shortage is keeping out the work ers needed for production of building materials. Particularly hard-hit are the veterans, for whom the government building program is supposed to be aimed. Many veterans trying to build their own homes are finding it necessary to scour the country side for everything from the ground up, and innumerable houses are sitting uncompleted be cause of some small item. Will Be Increased LONDON W) John B. Hynd said Wednesday the United States and Britain would raise the basic food ration in their zones in Ger many to 1500 calories per person daily during the coming winter, "whatever the cost." Hynd, as chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, is the Attlee cabinet minister responsible for conditions of the British occupa tion of Germany. He told a news conference the food situation in the British zone still was critical.

A rtORwtcrr product Young Girl Fire Heroine Twelve - year - old Darlene Owens, ertically burned by ex ploding coal-oil, braved the searing pain to rescue two small children from a burning home destroyed Tuesday night. Darlene was employed at the home of Loren E. Foote, Rt S, Junction City, to look after the two children while their mother worked In the bean fields. At 8 p.m. the girl was starting kitchen fire with coal-oil when It exploded, igniting a box of matches in her hand and cover ing her with burning oil. The girl doused herself with a nearby bucket of water. Then, despite severe burns on her head, arms and body, she ran around the house to where the children, one two years old and the other four months, were sleeping in a bedroom. Ira Foote, their grandfather, reported they would have died in the fire, which destroyed the house within a few minutes, if Darlene had not rescued them. Neither child was injured but Darlene is in a Eugene hospital as an office patient. She re- ceived first-aid treatment from a Harrisburg doctor before be ing brought to Eugene Wednes day morning. She was reported badly burned but not in dan gerous condition. Note to Reds Hits Demand (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Why Burglars?

Study Slay Help A study will De made on rec tifying this situation, Morse and Elisworth said. Elmo Chase, for mer member of the Willamette River Basin Commission, suggested that when the Army Engineers make a report near the first of the year on a resurvey of the Willam ette nroieet. the time will be op portune to have the Jasper unit included in tne general project Ivan Oakes, engineer-analyst for the commission, also pointed out that a similar attempt can Be maoe when the next authorization bill In considered. Rep. Ellsworth, ealling the House appropriations committee a tight, hard-fisted body, declared the Oregon delegation was lucky to get as much in appropriations as it did obtain lor the Dorena and Meridian projects. "If the President wants to cut expenditures and would first cut down outlays on obviously un necessary things at wasrungton, then we would take reductions on these dams in good grace," Ells worth said. "But we don't have many votes In the West and so we take a cut. However, I've had no word that he's cut down anywhere on unnecessary spending." Asks Bid Approval Morse disclosed that on Tues day he wired Director John Steel- man of the Office of War Mobil-j ization and Reconversion, backing! a position of local flood control j leaders, urging that Army Engin eers be authorized to advertise for bids on the $525,000 Willamette) River channel improvement pro-J ject so' that when the moratorium is over, contracts for the channel work can be awarded at once. ; Ellsworth and Sen. Guy Cor-i don were complimented highly by Morse for their work on behalf of the project, while both Ellsworth and Morse paid tribute to Dod son for his work on behalf of Oregon projects. Dodson told the group the future of the area west of the Rocky Mountains is de pendent largely on water "and we in the Northwest have more than anybody. The Willamette Valley project should bring this area the greatest prosperity any part of this region has ever had." Several speakers stressed the fact that time is the important factor, and Dorns declared Ilia; in the next flood the Willamette Riv er is likely to take a short cut through Springfield. Delay Termed Fatal Dr. A. T. Oberg, chairman of the Eugene Chamber's flood con trol committee, warned that on such projects as the Meridian Dam it will not be possible to speed up work later to make up for lost time, because work must be done in units and the second cannot start until the first is completed. He also called attention to the fact that 20 miles of Southern Pacific roadbed must be relocated and that it will take many months of settling before the new one can be used. "We want to see that when the moratorium ends, the Dorena and Meridian projects are in the bald headed row," he declared. Others at the gathering included County Judge Clinton Hurd, Com missioners Allen Wheeler and Walter Holland, Carl Robertson of the Eugene Fruit Growers Assn., Mayor Earl L. McNutt, City Man ager Deane Seeger, Manager Fred Knox of the Eugene Producers Public Market, Manager Clark Van Fleet of the Willamette Val ley Wood Chemical Co., Manager Ray Boals of the Eugene Water Board, Fred Hills, lumberman of the Jasper area, Ernest Skinner, supporter of the Jasper river pro ject, Manager Fred M.

Veterans' Ad visory Committee here. The committee, meeting for the first time Tuesday, will write the Federal Housing Administration and Maritime Commission officials in an effort to release the pipe. George L. Sandy, representing the State Department of Veterans' Affairs, said the state's colleges have turned down 6100 applicants because of lack of housing. Short age of pipe is the principal reason for the lack, he said.
