Housing Legislation FOUR-WAY split. over new housing legislation probably means no action by congress this year, though Truman's message was strong on it. Dispute centers on how much aid to private builders (loans, insurance, ete) should be larded with public housing. Varying degrees of federal subsidies are provided in (1) Wagner-Ellender bill (backed in principle by ‘Truman message), (2) amendments being prepared by Senator Taft, chairman of Investigating subcommittee; (3) amendments to be pre pared by national housing agency; (4) proposals of C.

Houghtalen declared. Applicants Investigated He explained that new men—who must be between 21 and 60—get “somewhere around 22 hours of training.” As the opportunity presents itself, civillan “rookies” also will be taught first aid sufficiently to qualify them for standard Red Cross certificates. Each applicant for civilian police work will be investigated by the police department, the same as city police applicants, the commandant added. Experts from the crime laboratory and identification department at police headquarters also will appear at civillan training classes to outline principles applying to this spec lalized work. Originally, when auxiliary police were under supervision of the office of civilian defense, they were given 22 hours training: Included in the instruction then was information on handling bombs and similar contingencies. In addition, appointees given about 15 hours training at police headquarters. Rookies Get Training City police “rookies” get more training.

Reveal Luftwaffe Never Had Chance to Win. (Continued From Page One)
narrow squeeze, The air ministry has celebrated’ this anniversary by producing a batch of statistics show ing that Britain had only 640 fighters -available to match 1200 longrange bombers, 1100 fighters and 350 dive-bombers. To those who lived “through those days, the outcome of the battle never seemed in doubt. In the minds of the R. A, F. boys who fought the battle, there certainly never was any question of the outcome, The facts as they are known today show pretty conclusively that the Germans never had a dog's chance to win the battle of Britain. Radar enabled the R.A. F. to dispose its. limited forces where they were needed and prevented the Germans from ever getting through to London unopposed.
Bombers Lacked Armor
R. A. P. fighter pilots were the cream of the crop and the Hurricanes and Spitfires they flew were perfectly suited to the job. German bombers that had raided England were practically un-« armed and their pilots were mediocre. Their . fighters were not armor-plated and were .duck soup. The real mystery of the battle of Britain is that the Germans kept it. up so long after it became hopeless, On Aug. 15, one week after the daylight attacks began, the Iluftwaffe lost 180 aircraft, bringing the week’s score up to 472. Op Aug. 16 and 18 they lost 245. Yet they made 35 more attacks before Sept. 8 and lost another 562 planes in the process. Sept. 15 would not have happened if Reichmarshal Hermann Goering and Adolf Hitler had not been crazy. Air ministry or no air ministry, today’s judgment on the battle of Britain was that it was a walkover.

Another Suicide Still another war criminal; Kinihiko Hashida - former education minister in Tojo’s cabinet—committed suicide when police were about to arrest him at his home. Thus 26 of the 47 persons named by Gen. Douglas MacArthur for war guilt trials cave been accounted for. Twenty-four either had or were about to surrender and two others had committed suicide. Unless the remainder surrender during the week-end, occupation forces probably will begin a Japanwide manhunt. MacArthur also cracked down on the Japanese press, radio and ‘government information service. However, he partly lifted the ban imposed yesterday on the official Domel news agency. Bans News Coloring
Col. Donald Hoover, of Indianapolis, chief ¢ensor, told a specially called conference of Japanese news, radio and government officials that MacArthur would not tolerate any further enemy attempts to color the news or soften the fact of Japan's defeat, Any media which violates MacArthur's directive against coloring the news or “disturbing public tranquility” would be suspended as was Doemi, Hoover said. He told the editor of the Nippon Times, regarded as a Japanese government organ, that editorials and articles in the newspaper were causing “considerable unrest among United States forces.” Unless these articles were stopped, he said, MacArthur would halt Pilblisation of the newspaper, “In the days since your surrender, you have revealed your lack of good faith in hendling the news,” Hoover told the conference, MacArthur announced that Domei could resume its domestic” operations, but under strict regulation. Transmission of news from and to overseas points still was forbidden. Togo was the biggest catch in the war, criminal roundup since Tojo himself was arrested Tuesday after
