(Tommy) Burns, DSO, OBE, MC, director-- general of rehabilitation for the Veteran Department, said today it was "very clear that existing housing programs are, not nearly extehslye enough and will not provide the houses needed for married In an address at the annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Surveying, at noon today at the Chateau, he urged that Canada has finished "her exploratory and pioneering period and stands ready for a new phase of development a period of more intensive utilization of re sources to the end that our dodu lation may be better fed, housed and clothed and have better chances for education and recre A former institute president.

Gek. Burns said the number of veterans listed as "unplaced applicants" for jobs was between 40,000 and 50,000 and four days ago 25,000 veterans were getting cut -of -work benefits. "While there are any veterans unemployed, we cannot say that the work of rehabilitation is he said. "In fact we must go further than that and say that while there are. veterans who are employed at low wages on tasks which are obviously below their capabilities and who are thus unable to establish a home for themselves, rehabilitation is not satisfactory.

"A survey made recently in the Montreal area shows that there are too many in this cate-1 gory, though- they are technically But the greatest barrier pto establishing homes was the housing shortage'. programs were inadequate and "it is equally clear that housing I built at present construction costs is beyond the means of the' great bulk of veterans who' are "seeking to become re-established in civil lift'. i -v.

In an effort to break the deadlock between Russia's insistence that British troops in Greece menace world peace and Britain's demand for outright rejection of that charge, the compromise proposal would dismiss the case by having the Council pass on to other business, i However, Mr. Makin would make a statement taking note of Russia's arguments, Britain's arguments and the expressed views of other members of the Council. Russia is the only Council member attacking the British position Greece.

Vishinsky already has made clear he would veto. This formula would avoid any direct formal repudiation of Russia's charges, which is the thing that up to this time Mr. Bevin has insisted he must have.
