Senate Committee Would
Prod Agencies For Action
} On Critical Housing Areas
‘N WASHINGTON, {/P)—A Senate
committee which has criticized
rent gouging of servicemen now
wants to put “a bumble bee”
under federal agencies blamed for
delaying designation of critical
defense housing areas.
This was demanded Friday by
Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Texas),
who said there have been “ser
ious delays” in designating such
areas.
Once an area is designated as
critical it is entitled to government
aid to spur building of necessary
homes for defense workers.
Johnson said requests from
about 200 communities face seven
to eight months delays and other
requests were piling up.

Pacific Northwest Rains
Assure Power for Potlines
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6, (£>)—
Nature has dropped enough rain
on the Pacific Northwest to cure,
for the time being at least, one
of the Defense Mobilizations’s
sharpest headaches.
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson an
nounced Friday at least temporary
abandonment of drought - caused
studies on possible removal of alu
minum plants from the northwest.
Wilson said recent rains had
raised reservoir levels enough to
assure hydroelectric power for
aluminum plants at the moment
and “sufficiently into the future
to render the transfer of potlines
from the northwest uneconomical
at this time.” Potlines are alumi
num production plants. Aluminum
is one of the metals in strongest
demand in defense production.
