I MAYOR'S AI d SAYS PLAINT "5 LL WRONG
Suggests Veterans’ Chief] A Attend Meetings, Cites [ Expediter’s Praise.
Phil Irwin, chairman of the American Veterans Committee, chapter 1, today charged Indianapolis city officials with “losing out in securing housing units through failure to act during the early part of the housing crisis.” Mr. Irwin cited two letters from national housing authority officials to Mrs. Lee Burkett, a social work-
} er, of Indianapolis which stated the city counell had failed to request 0 aid from the NHA.
“Mr. Irwin doesn't know what he’s talking about,” declared Orville W. Wise, chairman of the mayor's housing committee, “Why, we still need 400 applicants to fill the units at the Stout field project,” he said. The project is scheduled for completion Aug. 15. “Purthermore,” = the committee chairman charged, “Mr. Irwin has been to only one of: our meetings. To date we've had eight meetings.” Suggests Attendance
; ——————— Mr. Wise suggested Mr. Irwin a was “barking. up the wrong tree” and added the AVC chapter chairman should attend the committee meetings to “find out what was going on.” The first letter, written in Janunary, 1945, by Orvil Olmsted, NHA region 3 director, was quoted by Mr, Irwin as saying: “With regard-to Indianapolis, the failure of the city council to establish a local housing authority is
no public housing has been built. “Such action at the time when financial assistance was available from the United States housing authority would have undoubtedly as-| sured Indianapolis its share in the program.” ” No Formal Requests
The second letter, Mr. Irwin said, | was written by William K. Divers, |
tree! Floor NHA region 3 representative. Mr. | Irwin quoted from the letter as follows: |
“At a meeting in Indianapolis on Nov. 21, I advised the mayor's housing committee that we would be glad to help the city in meeting the veterans’ housing problem in one of several ways, “First, we could lease trailers to the city for $1 a year. “Second, we could probably turn over temporary: housing to the city! for a nominal amount. “Third, we ‘could sell demountable houses to the city. “As of Nov. 30, we have had no formal requests from Indianapolis for any type of housing.” Committee Complicated
Mr. Wise said Charles J. Horn,! regional housing expediter at Chi-| cago, had sent a representative to Indianapolis three weeks ago to compliment the committee on its work. “The spokesman for Mr. Horn said Indianapolis is far ahead of any city of its size,” Mr. Wise said. Mr. Wise also said the AVC had been asked to furnish a representative for the mayor's housing committee, but that the representative had attended only two meetings. “We'd be glad to have their suggestions instead of mere criticism,’ the committee chairman said. “The mayor's housing committee will meet at 2 p. m. today in the 3 city council chambers at city hall,” , Mr. Wise concluded.- “We invite!

"California Legal Minds Puzzled Over Gambling Casino
California legal minds are puzzled over what to do—if anything—about the floating gambling ship “Lux,” built by “Admira 1” Tony Cornéro Stralla, gambling king. A converted minesweeper, the ship is anchored in the Pacific, six miles off Long Beach, Cal., well outside the three-mile territorial limit of the U. S. The main gambling room
of the ship, about “as big as a football field,” contains every kind of gambling facility,
from dice tables and roulette wheels to slot machines. For thirsty patrons there is a flashy coctail lounge and a 100-foot bar; a night club offers entertainment for those seeking respite. from courting Lady Luck. Water taxis carry patrons from shore to the floating casino. Pi
