Vets To Get Million New Homes--- But They'll Have To Sit On The Floor
Washington. (UP) — The Civilian Production Administration in wondering where the furniture is coming from for the 1,200,000 homes for veterans scheduled for completion this year.
A CPA expert on furniture production says that CPA is now making a survey of amount of lumber needed by furniture manufacturers to equip a million veterans' homes this year. This survey is expected to be completed in about a week.
Preliminary estimates of CPA show that 80 per cent of the entire production of household furniture will be needed to equip 1,000,000 new homes. The remaining 20 per cent of production must fill all other needs
The current production rate of the industry is steadily declining. Many furniture concerns are closing down or working shorter hours because of the critical situation, according to the CPA.
The CPA spokesman was gloomy about the furniture situation, which he said, "has not been given enough attention." He predicted "a lot will be heard about it in the next few weeks."
For example, CPA is setting aside most of the production of plywood for prefabricated and other housing Plywood is also used extensively in the manufacture of radios, luggage and trunks, and many types of furniture.
Will CPA set aside a certain percentage of furniture manufacture to insure the furnishing of veterans' new homes? The answer is no. The agency hopes that furniture dealers will see that veterans are taken care of without orders from the government. "We hope veterans' needs can be filled in the good old American way," the CPA spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Charles Woodruff, acting director of the new CPA construction division, said that new permits granted contractors of commercial and industrial construction would not carry priorities. "We are not guaranteeing priorities to anyone who starts construction with a permit," he said.
Those who start construction without a permit have violated the second war powers act, and, if proved guilty, can be penalized with a $10,000 fine, a year's imprisonment, or both.
The construction division offices in 71 cities are now open. Permits will be issued in proportion to the amount of material on hand. Woodruff said every effort would be made to bring materials from "free" areas, where they are in good supply, to "tight" areas, where they are needed.

$400 Pay Raise Ditched
"Only $600 had been received to ward a $10,000 campus memoria drive quota," Nancy Tomlinson said today.
Washington. (UP)—A House Military Affairs subcommittee today ditched its previous proposal for a flat $400 annual pay raise for officers and men in the armed forces, and approved instead a plan giving increases ranging from 10 to 50 per cent, with the largest boosts going to the lowest ranks.
Memorial Campaign Off to Slow Start
Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Upsilon have both subscribed 100 per cent, she said, each member giving at least $2.
"I'm frankly amazed at the lack of cooperation in this drive," stated Miss Tomlinson. "The students must not realize that it will take at least $2 for each of them to make the change, but I know that there has been such a good response in some quarters, and I hope this will influence others."
A public discussion about the memorial drive will be held Monday at 7 p.m. in the men's lounge of the Union for students not living in organized houses, who did not have an opportunity to hear speakers on the drive Monday and Tuesday, Jim Crook, chairman, has announced.
Richard Schiefelbusch will be in charge of the meeting, with Jean Moore and Kenneth Beasley as the speakers.
Seven Isn't 'Chuck' Elliott's Lucky Number
$20,785.49 has been collected in Lawrence toward the community $50,000 goal, the Chamber of Commerce reported today.
Seven years "Chuck" Elliott has waited.
Seven years he has looked forward to being senior manager of the far-famed Kansas Relays.
And today, with the Relays only a week off, Chuck Elliott lies in a Watkins hospital bed.
Seven years ago, he started work. He became freshman manager for the Relays, doing a lot of dirty work no one else wanted to do.
He moved up to sophomore and junior manager, did more dirty work, envying the big boss of the Relays committee, that senior manager, who had so many of the responsibilities for one of the best-known track and field events in the country.
Then he went to war. The Kansas Relays were cancelled, but when Chuck came back from war this spring, the athletic department said "you will be the senior manager."
Seven years he had waited. Then in the hospital for a major operation.
The operation was a success, but the team than that Chuck thinks about today.
He lies between those white sheets and stares out a site window. If the Hill were leveled off a bit, he could see through to the stadium, where the starting gun will pop for the relays April 20.
"You'll be up walking in five or six days," the doctor has said. "But whether you can get as far as the stadium in a week. . ."
