First’ soldier dependents will be housed in permanent and semipermanent units, selected by .Col Logsdon, consisting of European style houses on a bluff in Yokohama at Kelo university and in some hotels, Families arriving later will live in specially constructed units now in planning stage. The housing officer recently announced that 78 Japanese houses in the Tokyo area for families of field grade officers have western style design. Japs to Equip Homes Almost all of the houses are twostory buildings. Some are listed as having “sparse furnishings” and it is these which the 8th army headquarters commandant will require the Japanese government to equip properly. Electric heaters are used in most of the homes as heating units, while some have steam heat and one a fire place in each room. Garages, according to Col. Logsdon, are available with a few of the homes and one home is listed as having adequate quarters for servants. Col. Logsdon has been overseas since last July. He joined the Indiana national guard in May 19830 and in 1940 he was called from reserve officer status and reported for active duty at Ft. Sill, Okla., where he remained until assigned overseas.

PRESCRIBE WAYS TO EASE CONDENSATION

Condensation will occur in basements on hot days despite watertight walls and floor. Opening windows will lessen some of the condensation and better results are obtained if an electric fan is placed on the floor to circulate the air.

CPA CHECKS ON BUILDING HERE

House - Hunting Veterans Report Violators.

Several Indianapolis commercial builders have felt the sting of the federal government limitation order on construction according to Albert M. Evans, .state construction fleld

administration. = Mr. Evans said today some have attempted to establish their own interpretation of what “starting construction” means. A few examples, he added, were preparation: of the site, excavation, placing orders for materials or signing contracts. These, according to the CPA official, are not the government's idea of “starting construction.” “Construction,” he said, “is actually incorporating construction materials into permanent building on & permanent site.” Generally the limitation order is receiving co-operation of contractors as well as interested persons who are on the outlook for the] veteran, Some Complaints Unfounded

Some complaints, Mr. Evans said, are unfounded in that people drive by excavation holes and hesitate to look closer and see if any concrete has been poured. Where concrete has been poured prior to March 26 for foundations to commercial building, the builder technically is across the borderline of the government's order. They do, however, have a “guilty conscience,” Mr. Evans said. As explained by the regional director, when a violation is report-, ed, the state CPA office dispatches’ an investigator whose findings are turned over to the administration's legal department. If it is deemed a violation, a “stop telegram” is sent) to the builder. Negligence of Such | an order may result in a federal | court injunction with possible fine and imprisonment.

Applications Reviewed

Mr. Evans has submitted a list; of nine men to Washington who will serve on a citizens’ committee to screen commercial building ap-| plications, Representatives of com-| mercial, manufacturing, building material supply, construction labor,’ industrial construction contracting, newspapers, and three govern-| mental agencies will comprise the committee. Six sub-committees, also, will be named. | All applications for commercial building will be reviewed by the citizens’ committee in an effort to curb such construction and channel critical building materials to the veterans’ housing program. Veterans Report Suspects Veterans’ applications for housing still will be handled by the federal housing administration. Farmers interested in building barns and silos will apply through
