Washington rulings allow continued home building in Texas
Local timber dealer John W. Gillett says Washington regulations secure a minimal but adequate supply of critical materials for new houses in Srewster County. Builders can start homes before Oct 1 with no priority aid, but after Sept 30 they must economize on steel copper and no aluminum. Self-certifying permits streamline access to metals and reduce delays.

NPS Rejects Indian Resettlement Plan for Big Bend Park
The National Park Service stated on August 18 that Navajo resettlement to Big Bend National Park is neither desirable nor feasible. The plan, proposed by E A Hatton of San Antonio, aimed to create a tourist attraction by relocating Indians to the park area. Hatton argued the Indians could live better than on current reservations, citing poor living conditions in Arizona and New Mexico. Conrad L. Wirth, acting director, dismissed the proposal and noted changes in policy.
