Say lack 01 Homes Is Health Hazard State Medics Declare Picture Is Grim One Indianapolis, Jan 21— H’Pl — The Indiana state medical aanotia tion today blamed the housing shortage for what it termed "a distinct hazard to health." "Many families are forced to live In trailers or in shacks without adequate or plumbing facilities." the association said in a bulletin. "IMburs are moving in with friend* and relatives so that small apartmente and five room house* are bulging at the scams with three und four families." "It is impossible for any number of such a household to observe the first rules of personal cleanline** as thoroughly under such circumstance* as he would lie able to do it If only one family occupied a house." the association said. "This in itself I* a danger to the maintenance of good k- aith " "It is a grim picture, and one that cannot be overlooked so long as there are not enough bouse* for the people who need them," the bulletin said. The medical association believed that the only possible solution was for families in crowded nit nations to observe the rules of health — proper diet, adequate rest and exeeclue. and a semiannual physical checkup. Instead of an annual visit to the family doctor. STEEL STRIKE /Turn To P*r» I. Oolumn «> with the steel workers in 1*44. Civilian production administrator John D. Small in Washington termed the walkout a "national disaster." He warned that some ot the nation’s factories may be forced to suspend within two weeks for lack of steel. Preparations were made for suspension of outstanding steel priorities. Operation* were limited to a scattering of small companies, led by Henry j. Kaiser's Montana Steel Co. in California, which met the union's demands; firms which held fixed-term contracts with the union, and unorganised plants such as Weirton Steel Co. in West Virginia. The strike began peacefully. Management officials in Pennsylvania and Ohio, where half the naiion* raw steel is produced, reported they were receiving excellent cooperation from the union" in closing plants. Three danger *pots loomed. At Houston. Tex., half the MOO employs* ot Hughes Tool Co. members of an independent union planned an attempt to breach the ClO's picket lino at 7 a. m. CST.

DDT I* a white powder with a faint fruU-lito odor. It looks not unlike Dour, baking powder or soda For that reason, users are urged to store it somewhere beside* the kitchen and to label it plainly. A report from the South Pacific reacted Washington that a Japanese cook used DDT instead of baking powder to make pastry. Six men died. Thia story ha* not been verified, however, Neal said that many ca*M of poisoning, report «dly canard by DDT actually resulted from fumes of ffie kerosene or xytoi used to make a DDT solation. These frequently cause headache*, nausea and othtv ill-effects. User* are urged to wear mask* when !>DT ‘praying Is done on a large scale.
