Temporary houses, built by the federal public housing authority
to accomodate war workers, are now helping war veterans und their
families to get off the “Homeless" lists. Of nearly 50 different types,
the buildings range from single and two-story houses to three-story
multiple dwelling units and complete army barracks. They are dis-
mantled, sawed Into standard 8-foot panels and shipped to areas where
civilian home shortage is critical. During November alone. FPHA
assigned more than 17.500 housing units for lemoval to colleges and
cities to house veterans and their families. When they are no longer
needed for veterans’ housing, they will be made available to private
purchasers. Photo shows how such structures are dismantled for ship-

Tribe Retains
Perfect Record
In Basketball
Clinton's Cagers
Are Turned Aside
By 27-18 Count
El Reno hlghschool’s undefeated
Indians were still that way at the
end of their non-conference bas-
Jcetbull engagement with Clinton
«cd Tornadoes here Friday night,
sending the visitors home on the
short end of a 27-18 tally, but
it was only because the Tribe had
turned cn the steam during the
firs* half.
The visitors distinctly held the
upper hand the last two quarters,
alter the Tribe started slipping.
El Rcn0 was ahead 22-9 at the
halftime intermission, but the
Indians scored only one field goal
in the entire last half—Jeromi
Bushyhead connecting on a heavq
at the basket—and the El Renoltes
added three free shots to produce
a total of only 5 points for the
Tribe in the entire second half.
While the Tornadoes themselvei
did comparatively little blowing in
the last half, they at least man-
aged to hit three field goals and
a like number of charity tries foi
a total of 9 points.
Dill Stays in Front
El Reno's fast-stepping Richard
Dill did a bit of all righi in the
fore part of the game, chalkjnp,
five field goals, but he could not
hit In the later stages except from
the foul line, where he registered
2 points to bring his total to 12
for the night.
Next best on the score sheet
for the home club was Bushyhead
who finished the fray with 8
points credited to him.
Although El Reno's performance
was mostly ragged In the last two
quarters, the Indians never were
sufficiently crowded to be in dan-
ger and they gave out with suf-
ficient heat to keep their perfect
record intact.
It was the fifth consecutive
victory for Coach Jenks Simmons'
hoopsters. who have scored a total

Telephone Tieup
Still Unsettled
By Conciliators
General Strike Is
Delayed Until After
Sunday’s Meeting
WASHINGTON, Jan. It- At-
Government conciliators failed
again tonight to effect a settle-
ment of a nationwide tieup of tel-
ephone service, and ordered con-
ferences resumed again tomorrow.
J. R. Mnndelbaum, conciliation
commissioner in charge of the
mtetings, announced the recess af-
ter nearly nine hours of consulta-
tion with officials of the Western
Electric company and the Associa-
tion of Communications Equipment
Workers.
Ernest Weaver, union president,
told newsmen "very little" progress
had been made duilng the day.
However, Weaver said his union
would not request a general strike
ot 250.000 telephone workers until
after tomorrow'* meeting
The possibility of p. formal strike
of the telephone operators had
been mentioned eailier by an of-
ficial of the National Federation of
Telephone Workers.
"Nothing Accomplished'
J. F. Lafferty, Western Electric
labor relations manager, told re-
porters that "nothing has been ac-
complished to spenk of" but added
"there's always hope."
Weaver said the National Fed-
eration of Telephone Workers’
executive board would meet here
tonight but that a decision as to
a general strike of telephone em-
ployes would depend on the out-
come of the meetings with gov-
ernment conciliators.
A spokesman for the telephone
operators’ union indicated they
might not man their switchboards
even though the government seized
the telephone system.
At present operators are respect-
ing picket lines set up by the
striking equipment workcis union.
The threatened strike ol the
250,000 workers, the union spokes-
man said, would result in "total
collapse’ of the nation's commiui-
icr.tions system.
Would Affect News
Radio stations und news printer
systems would be affected, the
spokesman said.
The s|x>kcsman explained, how-
ever, that the national strike call,
if issued, would Involve post-war
wage demands of the federation's
48 member unions. Previously, the
union hafi said it would strike
only as a sympathy measure to
Millport the Western Electric walk-
out.
At the same time, he disclosed
that 23,000 members of the feder-
ation in Missouri, Oklahoma. Tex-
as, Arkansas and Kansas have
"voted overwhelmingly" in favor
of tlic walkout, and sympathy with
I lie strike of 6.000 Western Elec-
tric equipment workers afminted
with the federation
The proposed walk-out would be
culled ln sympathy with the strike
of 6,000 equipment workers against
the Western Ele.tric company.
Western Electric pickets have
been thrown around telephone cx-
changes, and most federation mem-
bers have refused to crass the
picket lines.
