Officials of the national housing agency and labor department said recruitment and apprentice training programs are being expanded as rapidly as possible.

FARM DWELLING PERMITS ISSUED
Building permits for $1, 500,000 worth of farm dwellings and buildings have been issued by the In- | diana office of production and marketing administration, Peter J. 'Lux of PMA announced today. Applications were received from { 500 persons who derive their income from the farms on which the buildings are to be constructed. The PMA acts on applications for farm construction essential to increasing or maintaining production of food. The office has authority to approve single family dwellings under $10,000 and double dwellings costing not more than $17,000. Automatic approval is made for recon- | struction of buildings destroyed by | disaster, maximum permissable cost in this class being $6000. PMA gives building material] | priorities for veterans’ farm dwellings, but only permission to build in the case of other farm dwellings. |

EUROPE MAKING: ECONOMY CARS
Few Autos Top To -Ton Limit In Overall Size.
By Science Service FRENCH LICK, Ind. June 4— The one-ton car is the top limit in Europe for all but a wealthy few, the Society of Automotive Engineers was tqld here last night by Laurence Pomeroy, technical editor of a London automotive journal. Increasing attention, he said, is being given to designing a half-ton car. The reason, he said, is because, in the United Kingdom, the most prosperous country of Europe, 78 per cent of potential buyers must haye the utmost in economy, 15 per cent must make close studies of oper- | ating costs, and only 7 per cent are able to buy cars on thé basis of | preference and performance, Design 3-Wheel Car As an example of European de- | sign trends, Mr. Pomeroy described | a new French model, a three-wheel | car with aluminum-alloy one- piece |

For Experimental Co
DETROIT, June 4 (U. P.).—The Ford Motor Cp. today announced olans for construction of a $50,000,000 research and engineering center
which will centralize all experimen empire.
Announcement of the project was made by Henry Ford II, company president, 50 years to the day from the time his grandfather, Henry
Ford, drove his first “horseless car-| riage”. from a tiny Bagley ave. workshop onto the streets of De-! troit. The research center will be dedicated to Henry Ford and his son, the late Edsel B. Ford, who for many years was president of the company now headed by his son. Henry Ford II said the project, to consist of eight permanent buildings grouped around an artificial lake, 800 feet long by 300 feet wide, would take about eight years to complete and would be started ‘as soon as (government building) regulations permit.” Look to ‘Human Equation’
Mr. Ford said one of the top| problems the company hoped tol tackle at the new research center was that of the “human equation”— {the relation of the individual worker
