OPA's assignment as an enforcement arm of the veterans’ emergency housing program is part of a government coordination move to meet the housing and construction problem, Regional Director Ben C. Duniway declared.
“This program marks a definite step toward realistically carrying out the promises to the veterans of homes at reasonable and legal prices.” Duniway said. “It also provides a more accurate checkup on the activities of black marketeers in building materials and lumber, and will aid materially in their speecy conviction.”
The enforcement drive, which begins officially tomorrow, has been designated the sales control program.

Second House at Troy Reactivated Following Absence During War
Another casualty of the war returned to life Friday with the announcement by Norm Hawes, Interfraternity council president, of the group’s recognition of Delta Chi as a campus fraternity.
The addition of Delta Chi increases the number of representative houses on the council to 25. Twenty-two of this number are fraternities. The other three groups are Stray Greeks, Beta Theta Pi, and Kappa Alpha Psi. The last two were extended "colony” status recognition earlier by the council.
SECOND OLDEST Delta Chi is the second oldest campus fraternity at SC. The local group received its charter in 1910. Sigma Chi, the oldest campus fraternity. was established at Troy in 1839. Delta Chi was also the second fraternity to locate on West 28th street, now known as fraternity row.
Cornell university was the scene of the founding of Delta Chi on Oct. 13, 1890. The fraternity is now international in scope. It has 35 active chapters located in American and Canadian universities, with three other chapters in California. INACTIVED BY WAR Locally, Delta Chi was active until 1942. When the United States entered World War II, the chapter lost practically all its active members to the armed forces. Tlie fraternity maintained its chapter house which was occup'ed during the war by Nu Sigma Nu, national professional medical fraternity.
Return of several of the fraternity's active members to Troy last spring stimulated revival of the chapter. The house was reoccupied in August. Efforts of the Trojan Delta Chis to reactivate their chapter was culminated with recognition by the Interfratemity council. PROMINENT ALUMNI Delta Chi has produced several prominent campus personalities during its local history. Many of its initiates have also become prominent alumni. Mayor Fletcher Bcwron, a charter member of the SC chapter, wears the Delta Chi badge. Leo McCrary, Hollywood movie producer, is another alumnus of the SC chapter.
Plans are being made by the fraternity to regain its place in Trojan fraternity life. President Bill Gulley said. He added that the group is now working on details to recover Delta Chis position in the campus fraternal setup.
Top Non-Org Positions Open
Independent students interested In being representatives on the non-org council may obtain petitions today in the offices of the ASSC president, said Dick Gilson, representative of independent students in the senate.

Other tentative plans of the council will be to arouse interest in student activities among independents, acquaint the student government with their vital interests, suggestions, and problems, and plan a system for non-org counseling, should the need arise.

Family Plans Stilwell Rites
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13. (U.P)— A two-man guard of honor stood smartly at parade rest beside the body of Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell at the San Francisco presidio today as plans were being made to carry out the last wishes of the famed Burma jungle fighter.
A member of the late Sixth Army commander’s family said plans for the private, simple funeral had not been completed, but said the general’s ashes would be scattered over the waters of the Pacific ocean near Carmel, Cal.. probably “within the next three days.”
An army spokesman said the plane bearing the general's ashes to their final resting place would probably be flown by one of Stil-well's old pilots of the Burma campaign, a man who was beside the general throughout the bitter, losing fight against superior enemy forces. The pilot’s name was not disclosed pending final arrangements.
Gen. Stilwell died in an ordinary ward at Letterman General hospital yesterday after waging the same gallant fight against an incurable disease as he always put up against an enemy force.
Meat-Hungry Nation Awaits Price Verdict
WASHINGTON. Oct. 13. (U.E) — The nation's meat-hungry citizens tonight awaited President Truman’s decision on w’hether he intends to lift price controls on meat or keep them and risk the ire of the voters in the congressional elections next month.
Best indications were that Truman will stand by his guns and not call for decontrol of meat when he goes on the air at 10 p.m EST. tomorrow night (tonight) for a 15-minute discussion of the administration's entire stabilization program.
DECISION UNKNOWN
If anyone in the capital knew what decision the president had reached on the politically-explosive issue, he was not talking. Administration sources, who custjomarily give “off the secord comment, said the issue was too hot — they just couldn't talk about it.
But there were several factors which seemed to indicate that Truman s solution will not be decontrol.
They were:
1.—A	hint from high agriculture department sources that the recent formal petition from the OPA beef advisory committee asking removal of meat from price control would be denied. They said announcement of the decision woulld be held up until “higher levels” outline administration policy — an apparent reference to the president's speech. TRUMAN TO SPEAK
2.—The	fact that Truman plans to speak about the whole stabilization program. It was believed that he was ready to defend meat controls as long as any part of the program remains.
3.—Finally,	Truman's long fight for the administration's “hold the line” policy against inflation, fight in which he sometimes has gone up against high democratic party leaders and members of his own cabinet.

The importance of Heades' works has not been realized until recently, according to Dr. William Valentiner, art director of the county museum.

It was selected from a collection bequeathed to the university this year by the Bradway Estate, Pasadena
