Gilbert Pitt, 827 Laurel st, was planning on repainting his home again this spring until he discovered Nu-Brick insulated siding. “I figured it out,” said Mr. Pitt, “and decided Nu-Brick siding was the answer to many of my problems. It not only would greatly improve the appearance and value of my home but would save me future maintenance costs, such as painting and the replacing of decayed weather boards. In addition, according to my conversations with others who have had Nu-Brick insulated siding put on their homes my heat-

ing costs will be reduced about 30 per cent. Today there are fewer things to buy than before the war began. For instance, the production and sale of automobiles has ceased along with many other articles, such as radios and electrical appliances. In fact, even construction has been curtailed unless it can be proved to be of help to the war effort.

A Defense Area

In this category the government has placed living quarters and is encouraging the remodeling and improvement of homes that are structurally sound. Such homes, of which Indianapolis has an ample supply, can offer a means of providing housing for many newcomers called here for war work who have been unable to find comfortable living quarters. Therefore, the government has provided through the FHA a way for owners of such dwellings to buy easily the necessary material for essentials such as a new roof or new siding. Indianapolis and vicinity is considered an important defense area and individuals owning homes in need of modernization will not only be helping the war effort but mak-

Stanley Moffett, sales manager of the Indiana Roofing and Siding Corp., stated that “our company realizes that there are many people who desire to modernize their present homes but hesitate to undertake doing it for fear of being disavpointed. They fear that their lack of knowledge in financing may get them into ‘hot water’ or they cannot denend upon the contractor they might select

ferent outlook on life and relieves the ‘jitters’ which are prevalent during the war emergency. “Today it is not a question for an individual owning his own home needing modernization of a new roof or insulated siding to hesitate any longer.” Mr. Berman pointed out that the members of his corporation have been identified with business in Indianapolis for more than 30 years and has always operated under the policy that a satisfied customer is worth more than a profit in any one transaction. Only nationally-known brands of materials are used and skilled workmen employed to do the work. “You are guaranteed the highest possible quality and value for your money,” he said.

FETE ARRANGED FOR BAS UTILITY CHORUS

The chorus is disbanding for the duration of the war. Guests will be the wives of members of the chorus and a number of utility executives and their wives. The chorus has planned a program of favorite songs learned during its two years of existence. It was organized under the direction of Farrell Scott, voice teacher at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. At the beginning

Ousted WEB Economist Says He Needs Job for Upkeep of His Family.

By BOB RUARK Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 20. — Dr. Maurice Parmelee, $5600-a-year war economics board analyst, whose authorship of a book on nudism inspired a denunciation from redhunting Rep. Dies (D. Tex.), was looking for a job today. WEB Chief Milo Perkins has fired him despite FBI exoneration on Mr. Dies’ charges that he was communistic. Simultaneously with the FBI announcement that Dr. Parmelee and eight other WEB employees had been cleared of the Rep. Dies’ accusation, the 59-year-old author revealed that he had telegraphed Vice President Wallace, protesting his dismissal and appealing for reconsideration. Mr. Wallace previously had defended Dr. Parmelee, comparing Mr. Dies with Nazi Propagandist Goebbels.

Fears Economic Plight

Dr. Parmelee, a small, worriedlooking, pipe-smoking, author of 12 books on various aspects of sociology and wartime economy, today denied he was a Communist, and confided that, despite his sympathy for nudism, he had never practiced it. He charged that his dismissal had been sponsored by his bureau's fear of adverse publicity as a result of Mr. Dies’ attack. ’ Dr. Parmelee said that, because of his “unjust dismissal,” all means of livelihood were denied him, and that he feared “the worst,” economically speaking, for his wife and 4-year-old daughter. His books, he said, never brought him in more than $700 a year at the peak. “Unless I am cleared and reinstated,” he said, “I am afraid I'll never get another job. I am what
