SEES SPEED NEED
Washington, Feb. 26 U.fi

day's delay in enactment of
housing legislation by congress
costs the nation 3,000 new homes.

a press conference as the house
began debate on the Patman
housing bill, designed to give
force to many features of Wyatt's
program for 2,700,000 new homes
by the end of 1947.
The housing administrator said
the bill will lose Its full effect
unless congress approves the dis
puted section providing for prem
ium payments to expedite pro
duction of materials.
Rep. Frederick C. Smith, R
O., led the house attack on the
Patman bill, which he said was
communistic.
'This bill seeks to have bu
reaucratic control of housing,'
he said. "The government would
seize the building Industry. Wo
are now to be regimented to fight
the peace."

A resolution asking congress
to see that surplus military goods
and foods be made available,
without delay, to those citizens
both here and in the war-torn
countries that need them was
passed at a meeting of the Gold
Hill Grange Feb. 21.
Pointing out the many reports
to the effect that military goods
and foods are being destroyed at
foreign points and that these had
been purchased at the expense
of the American tax-payer, the
resolution reads:
"That our representatives in
congress will use their best ef
forts in having such waste elim
inated and that such goods and
foods as can be used, and are
urgently needed here and abroad
by the starving people of foreign
countries, as well as the pressing
needs of our own citizens, espec
ially returned veterans, be made
available without delay and di
rectly by our government with
out any further profits to middlemen."
Wyoming contributed 21.3 per
cent of the total male population
of the state for selective service.
