In a letter to the city aviation board, Mr. Schwitzer admonished e commission for its failure to brovide more hanger facilities and haved runways at the airport. “The $270,000 being spent on an xperimental station for the civil eronautics administration will deease commercial traffic rather hat prove advantageous to the ity,” he stated. Construction of a new $400,000 dministration building is also unecessary, when all that it needed re better waiting rooms at the bresent building, he asserted.

“I am convinced would cover present needs on the pbuilding,” he said. The essential need at the airport is for additional hangars to ktore planes. Mr. Schwitzer pointPd out that ships are suffering more Hamage from weather than from pctpal flying conditions.

Lo T0 SENATE

Hope in Own Body.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (U. P). ~House stalwarts in the dfawn-out fight for President Truman's vet erans housing program looked to the senate today to salvage the plan. They conceded there was little chance that the house in its present mood would agree to the President's request for price controls on used homes and subsidies on scarce building materials, A coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats so nr has successfully beaten back all attempts to write these provisions into the Patman. housing bill.

Hope for Compromise Backers of the President's program said their only hope was to pass the Patman bill in the house in its present watered-down form, get it strengthened in the senate and then work out a compromise in ‘| conference committee. ' They took hope that their plan would work from the house's tentative action Tuesday in refusing to substitute the Republican-backed Wolcott bill for the Patman bill by a vote of 177-116.

Previously the house voted 128-87 to accept an administration amendment to the Patman bill increasing the mortgage insurance authority of the federal housing administration by $1,000,000,000. The amendment was almost identical to the main feature of the defeated Wolcott bill. The Patman bill would also put price ceilings on new homes, give veterans housing preference, and

"THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES ______ Slow Price Relief Blamed on ineaiplele Applications

Clear 500 a Day “Aplications for new or adjusted prices are being cleared at the rate of 500 a'day,” he sald. Many manufacturers have complained they can't get goods to the

price increases. “There are delays,” Welsh admitted, “but if people applying for new or adjusted ceilings really cooperated with us, they'd have few complaints. “Original applications are answered in two or three weeks, some in less than a week.” The main questions asked of the manufacturer are these: —Describe the article you make. —What two competitors make the nearest similar product? —What cost elements compel you to ask for higher prices? Resent Red Tape “These - questions are simple enough,” said. Welsh. “But many applicants merely say that costs are too high and they need ad fustments. “We ask them to answer the | questions. They answer some, but not all. We write a letter asking | more details. “Meanwhile, the application goes| to the bottom of a stack of others which are complete and easily dis- | posed of.
