OIA ___ ORDER FOR NEW HOMES APPROVED Half Of 800 Demountable Units Contracted To Georgia Firm Go-ahead signal on construction of half the 800 prefabricated, de mountable shipyard worker homes to be built here, was given the Harden and Ramsey company of Atlanta, yesterday.. The Georgia firm was successful bidder on the first 400 units to be made. Negotiations are under way with the Green Lumber company of Laurel, Mass., for construction of the second 400, according to Exe cutive Director Henry R. Emory of the Wilmington Housing author ity. However, he said, the WPB has not authorized release of the lumber to be used on the pro ject.” . At the same time. U. S. Dis trict Attorney J. O. Carr revealed that proceedings to condemn the 123.31 acres of land near the south ern end of the yards of the North Carolina Shipbuilding company, on which the homes will be erected, were filed yesterday. A declaration of taking, which will place the government in own ership of the property, has been forwarded to Federal Judge Isaau M Meekins in Elizabeth City and is' expected to be returned here tomorrow to be filed with the clerk of the district court. A check for $15,609.56 has been deposited by the government to cover the cost of the land, which involves approximately 50 parcels. Mr. Carr said. Representatives oi tne a. n. Guion company of Charlotte, _ to whom the contract for site im provements for the project was awarded by the housing authority here last week, arrived here Mon day to begin work on leveling off the project site, laying out streets, installing electric and sewer fa cilities, and constructing a com munity building for the project. Hardin and Ramsey representa tives are expected here Monday. The contract with the Guion company sets September 8 as the date for the completion of the site improvements and the con tract with Hardin and Ramsey sets October 8 as the date for the completion of the first 400 homes. However, Mr. Emory pointed out, it may be possible to com plete and occupy some of the 400 units before that time, if the Wat Production board will sanction the project. The Green Lumber company constructed and installed the 475 prefabricated, demountable homes in Lake Village, one of the au thority’s five war housing proj ects here. The units built by the Green company for the new proj ect will be similar to those in Lake Village, while those built by Hardin and Ramsey will be slightly different, Mr. Emory said. -V Boys' Brigade To Hold Open House In 2 Weeks Interior remodeling of the Boys’ Brigade club will be complete within two weeks and an “open house” held, Executive Director William Stewart said last night.

Marshall, busi ness manager of the board of edu cation. Mr. Marshall said almost twice as many children were transported daily during the recent session as during the previous year. He ex plained that the increase in the number of pupils riding buses was larger than the increase in enroll ment because some children had to be transported to schools in oth er districts due to the lack of space in schools in their own districts. He added that it will not be nec essary for as many children to ride buses next year when the new school buildings, now under con struction, are completed. The county system operated 19 buses for white pupils, four for negro children and one by contract driver at a total cost of approxi mately $950 per driver—including the driver’s salary, operation and maintainence of bus. “The fact that these 23 men maintained New Hanover county’s record of never injuring a school child is sufficient tribute to the way they fulfilled their duty as bus drivers,” Mr. Marsnall declared. He said no accident of any kind resulting in damage to a bus load ed with school children occurred! during the session. ‘‘We recognized the fact when more than 100 children were car ried in a bus one day it was some thing which should not be done and we hope it will never have to be done again,” Mr. Marshall said. He pointed out that school offi cials more than spent the budget to get new buses to relieve the sit uation and that the board bought all buses that could be obtained. Army Hospital Bidders Announced In Asheville ASHEVILLE, June 11.—(/P)— Low bidders were announced today after the opening of bids for construction of the Army’s new general hospital about 12 miles from here on the Ashe ville-Black' Mountain highway but the amounts involved were not disclosed.

NATIONS AT WAR RESPECT RADIO Chairman Tells Congress Of Mutual Agreement In Countries On Hamming’ WASHINGTON, June 11.— M — Warring nations mutually refrain from the promiscuous “jamming” of opposition radio broadcasts, Chairman James L. Fly of the Federal Communications Commis sion testified today at a Congres sional hearing. Appearing In connection with proposed changes in the Communi cations Act, Fly told the House Interstate Commerce Committee that the FCC was monitoring (Lis tening in on) virtually every broad cast emanating from enemy coun tries and was making the informa ;ion obtained available to war jgencies. In reply to questions by commit ;ee, Fly said most of the foreign oropaganda broadcasts were sent ty short wave and could be ren iered ineffective by “jamming” hem, creating air interference to nake them difficult to be heard. However, he added, “jamming” s rarely resorted to because of i mutual, if unspoken, understand ng among the nations not to inter fere with the broadcasting activ ties of the others and lead to a situation whereby all broadcasts night be made impotent. The FCC head did not definitely state that the world’s powers had reached a binding agreement on this matter, and committee mem oers did not press him for a more complete explanation of the nature of the mutual understanding. As part of its program of polic ing the air waves. Fly said, the commission is monitoring “every thing that isn’t directly explicable on its face.” This policing job. he said, was the “most significant” work being done by the commls tion at the present time. 3 Two North Carolinians Commissioned In Army MIDLAND ARMY FLYING SCHOOL, Texas, June 11.—(A1) _Two North Carolina men were awarded commissions as second lieutenants (bombard iers), here today.
