Housing Shortage Claimed Due To
Multifarious Federal Directives
Denver, Feb. 22 (U.R) Gov.
John C Vivian today lashed out
at the federal government's pro
gram to alleviate the nation's
housing problems, asserting in a
letter to National Housing Ex
pediter Wilson Wyatt that the
problem was being attacked
from the "wrong premise."
"You seem to anticipate great-

ly increased federal control In
carrying out your concept of
more houses at the earliest pos
sible date," the governor stated.
"I note you advocate subsidy
payments for increased produc
tion. "The only way to bring about
greatly increased production,
unless all the books on econom
ics are wrong, is to allow the an
cient and basic law of supply
and demand to operate now. If
this were done, there would be
a short period of increased prices
but only until healthy competi
tion got Into full play. Whatever
inflation might be the result of
discarding the multifarious gov
ernment directives, rules and
regulations, would soon be dissi
pated. Business would soon find
a common level upon which to
operate and prices would readily
conform to the demand and the
supply of materials and finished
houses."
The governor termed Wyatt's
announced program calling for
an expenditure of approximate
ly $600,000,000 in subsidy pay
ments to insure increases in pro
duction of building materials a
"waste of public funds."
"There is absolutely no neces
sity for thfls enormous appropri
ation, provided you will allow
business and industry to operate
as usual," Vivian said. "They
will furnish sufficient funds to
accomplish the immediate pur
pose of more and more houses."
He asked that all controls be
lifted to make necessary materi
als available immediately.

' Turns Veterans
Toward Saloons
Minneapolis, Feb. 22 (U.R)
Judge Lewis Drucker of Cleve
land, O., said today that the
shock o returning to an Ameri
ca that seems not to want them
is the basic cause of the Increase
In drunkenness among discharg
ed soldiers.
Judge Drucker, speaking at
the three day institute on chron
ic alcoholism at the University
of Minnesota, said soldiers re
turning home had suffered a
"Jolt" they weren't prepared for.
"The appearance in our courts
of so many returned veterans in
dicates the armed forces and the
civilian agencies concerned have
not given sufficient study to ad
justments that must be made by
the veterans," he said.

New York, Feb. 22 In order
to secure the products of
Europe's skills and artistry, the
J. C. Penney company will estab
lish offices abroad according to
an announcement by the com
pany. The decision followed the
report of two Penney men who
visited six European countries to
investigate trade centers, and
the offices will be established
as soon as conditions permit, it
was stated.
Cities famous for certain goods
or products were visited by the
two men, who went to England
last October. They visited Man
chester, England, famous for cot
ton goods; Sheffield, famous for
cutlery; Bradford for woollen;
Nottingham for curtains and
laces; Dewsbury and Whitney for
blankets; Stoke-on-Trent for din
ner and chinaware.
On the continent they visited
Grenoble, France, where gloves
are produced; St. Gall, Switzer
land, famous for handkerchiefs'
Courtrai, Belgium, for linens,
damasks and rugs, and Belfast.
Ireland, one of the great linen
centers of the world. The men
found that England and Belgium
appeared to have made the
greatest strides toward cleaning
up the wreckage of war. People
in England, particularly, are
anxious to get business on a
peace-time basis, they found.
One of the industries the two
men watched in operation was
the making of the famous Harris
tweeds on the Outer Hebrides
islands, and the company ex
pects to handle these woolens
again in the near future.
