...priorities for defense housing (TIME, Oct. 6). With most building materials earmarked for defense through priorities, non-defense builders would have to scramble for the rest, would doubtless have to curtail from 1941 levels. SPAB might logically make itself tsar of the building industry some day (as Bernard M. Baruch's World War I Industries Board did by requiring special permits for all projects involving more than $500). But it was not ready to go that far last week...
...private construction. This put SPAB in a position to veto Congressional appropriations for bridges, harbor improvement, other "pork" contained in a $1,000,000,000 rivers & harbors bill now before a House committee. If SPAB uses that power, it will doubtless run into the same trouble as did the Baruch board-which had to beat down opposition from the Senate, from such characters as Mayor Hylan of New York City, whose $8,000,000 school project was stopped...

(This bogey had been challenged by Bernard M. Baruch, World War I defense tsar, who declared that the public will support any bill that is uniform in its treatment of all classes and all goods, if the law is fairly and evenly administered...

Black-haired young Albert Arnold Gore of Tennessee was the exception: he began drafting a Baruch-like bill which would freeze farm prices at parity, fix all other commodities-and wages-at their Oct. 1 levels. But Gore was taking the lonesome road...
Arriving in Princeton, N.J. one night last week, Leon Henderson's heart was warm with pride and sentiment. Thinking of the nice things old Barney Baruch had said about him that day, he joined his dinner hosts in a glowing mood. Before the evening was over, Leon's cup of sentiment was overflowing. For the dinner celebrated the 100th anniver sary of John A. Roebling's Sons Co. of Trenton. And Leon (born in Millville) is a Jersey...
