The first annual Southern California Construction fndustries Exposition and Home Show opened on July 12 at the Pan-Pacific auditorium, Los Angeles, and the attendance is expected to total over 200,000 during the ten-day event. Visitors will see on display the finished products and materials of more than 200 separate exhibitors, and introduced will be scores of noteworthy innovations in home construction, remodeling, home furnishings and appliances.

Nor is the exposition by any means limited to the home building field. Accorded equal prominence will be found graphic exhibits demonstrating current practices in design and construction of commerial and industrial structures and public buildings.

Certain to be focal points of public interest are two model homes constructed on the exposition grounds, adjacent to the main auditorium. Attractively landscaped and furnish- ed, the spacious dwellings will be realistic examples of what home-loving Americans can plan for the future. The houses will be open for inspection during the show.

The two-bedroom home will be given away, sans furniture or appliances, during the exposition to a duly qualified serviceman or .woman, or discharged veteran of World War II.

The three-bedroom home will be sold at actual construction :cost to a veteran or member of the armed forces.

Film and radio personalities will make appearances, and popular orchestras will provide music.

Admission charges will be 75 cents for adults and 30 cents for children. The show will close the night of July 21.

Sponsoring organizations, in addition to the Los Angeles Chamber oI Commerce, irtclude the building trade associations and allied groups in Southern California.'

Architect Mcdness

When I decided to build me a house, I felt just a little afraid, That plan and design were not quite in my line So I sought architectural aid. And said: Show me, pray, something most recherche For I'm weary of hanging my hat, In an early VictorianPre-MonessorianPlain two-by-fourean flat.

The architect puffed at his period pi,pg As he sat in his Renaissance chair, And he gave me a smile in the Though he spoke with a Roma Gothic style, Said he, if your,taste is not ue alr. debased, The best, you are certain to find Is the later ColonialPseudo BaronialG. Washingtonial

"That stu.ff you should shun for it hasn't been done Since Benjamin Harrison died." And they took me direct to a new architect, Who argued with logic compelling, For a Quasi DelsarteanPost Bono ParteanWholly Beaux-Artean dwelling.

My downfall had started, I groped in a maze, Of trances, transitions, and trends, And labored anew over prints that were blue, With the aid of my numerous friends. But I don't knit my brow over building plans now, For all of my money is spent, And my home's an ArcadianSecond-CrusadianPink-Lemonadian TENT.

Lumbermen Accuse OPA oI "Smear"

Seattle. .-,_ The West Coast Lumbermen's Association, lashing back at Office of Price Administration officials who filed treble damage suits against 4O lumber companies totaling more than $9,000,000, declared in a staterrient that the OPA "has picked on" a small number of lumber concerns in order to "smear the whole industry.',

"A small fraction of the industry is being sued on charges of trade practices which have had wide-open sanction by the Office of Price Administration.,, the statement said.

, The association said "these suits have been ordered on the basis of a desperate policy of intimidation. The OpA purpose is trial by press and radio. It is the frenzy of a monster of bureaucracy in its death throes. No question of honest enforcement of honest regulations is involved.,,

The lumbermen's statement contended that the whole piciqre of housing construction ,,is dark with the failure and futility of practically all government agencies, including the Office of Price Administration, that are concerned with the building industry.

"As each agency descends from one failure to another the customary alibi is a smear of one kind or another on piivate enterprise in the building field.

"Politics, red tape, buck passing, inertia and plain ignor_ ance and incompetence are increasing instead of lessening in the gigantic bureaucracy that rules lumber and other divisions of the constrirction industry, which needs only freedom to produce to solve the housing problem.',

Log Premiums Remcdn Listed

Portland, Ore., July 3--Wilson Wyatt, national housing expediter, informed the Douglas fir plywood industry Tues"_ day that the premium payment plan designed to increase peeler log production and thus boost plywood output, was still in eff'ect, despite OpA,s demise.

Mr. Wyatt rqade the statement over long-distance telephone. from Washington, D.C., to Thomas B. Malarkey, president of the Douglas Fir plywood Association.

"Many operators had assumed the premium payment plan was automaiically revoked with the expiraiion of p.i". control," Mr. Malarkey said. .,Apparently this assumition was' incorrect."
