Chapel Hill, April is a need for the development of housing standards and guides upon which communities can base the enforcement of their codes-standards and guides upon which public agencies, industry, and the courts can depend." Dr. W. P. Dearing, Deputy Surgeon General, U.

S. Public Health Service, asserted in an address tonight the University of North Carolina. Such a program, he said, would prevent "the deterioration of dwelling and neighborhoods into slums." He also saw a great need for "research into the fundamental physiological and psychological problems produced by unsound and unwholesome housing." Dr. Dearing and R. W.

Radcliff, director, Division of Research, Housing and Home Finance Agency, Washington, were speakers at the opening session tonight of a threeday institute and workshop on "The Role of Health Agencies in the Community Housing Problem." Attending the institute are more than 70 representatives of State and local health departments, planners, and officials from 14 states, including all Southern States except South Carolina. E. G. McGavran, dean of the School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, presided at tonight's session. Chancellor Robert B.

House the University welcomed the delegates. Pointing out that the average A American spends more than threefourths of his time under some kind of roof, Dr. Dearing stressed the view that his physical and emotional health is affected accordingly. Describing the Housing Act of 1949 as "one of the most significant pieces of legislation in recent years, Dr. Dearing said it provides for research into the technical and economic aspects of housing, for the development of local programs and low-rent public housing units for and urban Federal aid in redevelopment-and slum clearance.

eral aid to farmer owners for the improvement of homes and farm buildings. Surveys in several states, he said, have shown that more than 75 per cent of existing farm water supplies are unsafe. "The health officer's a key person in any activity involving housing, whether it be construction, destruction, or reconstruction," Dr. Dearing said. Radcliff stressed the view that we ought to have a better basis for getting housing standards.

"In the absence of the concept of standards there is no housing problem," he explained. "The sole objective of housing legislation and housing programs is to raise housing standards, to modify or create housing situations SO they are acceptable. "It is shocking to contemplate the continued setting of standards by legislative act, by judicial decision, by administrative determination, by the business judgments of builders and bankers, by the pencils of architects and land planners and by the unenlightened or forced choices of consumers, he said. Stressing the need of more research, he said, "the available studies which purport to demonstrate the relationships of housing and health are not very convincing." M. A.

Pond, chief, Division of Engineering Resources, U. S. Public Health Service, will speak at tomorrow morning's general session at 9 o'clock at the Carolina Inn, after which the meeting will break up into workshop groups. should institute suit to abate the alleged nuisance at the plant on Angier Avenue, which allegedly is emitting partially consumed fuel causing damage to surrounding property.
