On Housing Set Legion's Complaint To Be Aired Tuesday
By Scripps- -Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Jan, 29.—American Legion complaints of inefficiency in the federal public housing authority are to be aired before the senate banking and currency coms mittee next Tuesday. The Legion's housing committee asked the hearing. It is expected to charge that erection of temporary re-use , dwellings has been retarded by poor contracting procedures as well as by materials shortages. The Legion representatives also are expected to criticize the FPHA for failing to evict a large number of high-income tenants now living in permanent low-rent public housing projects. Many of these tenants moved into the projects when their incomes were low. Their incomes went up| ~~

Private Plane Production Up
"Air-Minded U.'S. Sets Passenger Record
By Science Service WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. — The production. of 35,000 private planes in the United States during 1946,
Just revealed by the U, 8S. civil aeronautics administration, is an indication ‘that America is truly air-minded. Many “ot the private planes are for business purposes, although | many are designed for family fy- | ing. Most of them are single-en- | gined monoplanes, capable of medi- | um speeds, and designed for bne to | six passengers. Other "evidences of the air-mind- |
-{edness of America are revealed in|
the report. The 85,000 aircraft) registered by the end of the past
dies ur Fon ir TU. The rate of fatalities has constantly dropped since 1030 ‘except during 19% and This safety record is die in part to better planes and more skilled pilots, but also to flying regulations
|of the government and the develop-
ment of flying instruments, radio ranges, very high frequency radio communication, and landing tech. niques. The number of transports produced in 1946, including all planes
with two o or ‘more engines, was s 450, i
and 1400 planes were built for the armed services, The number of transports completed during 1947
may exceed the 1046 production because about 800 are now on order,
