OflNGTON, La. — State
ials are investigating con-
icrcomplaints that Houston-
:d U.S. Homes, the largest
lebuilding and sales com-
yinthe nation, did a shoddy
of constructing houses in
:ral subdivisions.
Nadine Ramsey, a spokes
woman for the consumer pro
tection division of the state attor
ney general’s office, said Mon
day a preliminary investigation
of the company was under way.
She declined to discuss the
matter.
Five residents in the subdivi
sions of Tanglewood Village
near Slidell and Woodridge be
tween Mandeville and Madison-
ville have complained that their
houses, built and sold by U.S.
Homes, are crumbling because
of poor construction and design.
The homeowners have filed
suits in state District Court,
saying they were unsuccessful in
their attempts to settle their
claims with U.S. Homes.

Dollar brings

United Press International
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —
Nearly 40 years ago, Victor
Robinson was the swashbuckling
pilot of a World War II bomber.
Two wars later after a car
accident that cost him the use of
his legs, he’s hoping a dollar bill
signed by himself and the crew
he hasn’t seen since 1945 will
bring them together to rehash
victories, defeats and “being
caught in flak like a duck in a
shooting gallery.”
Dan Salter, a Birmingham
coin collector, is trying to
reunite Robinson with the other
surviving members of a B-24
crew that first flew together a
month after D-Day aboard the
“Rat Poison.”
signatures meant financing the
next round of drinks.
But Mullen says the usual
short snorter, as the bill was cal
led, contained any assortment of
names, and that’s what makes
Salter’s dollar special.
Besides Mullen, this dollar
was signed by Robinson; nose
gunner Carl Eurick, who died
two years ago; Keith Moody who
manned the top gun turret; co
pilot Johnnie Rowan, and radio
operator Robert Bandfield, who
died on a mission with another
Last fall," Salter stumbled
across a dollar bill bearing the
bomber crew’s names and a brief
chronicle of their missions. He
determined he would find the
six airmen who signed the bill on
June 3, 1944.
,“I just felt this was meant for
me,” Salter said. “If I didn’t
accomplish anything else, I
wanted to accomplish this.”
Salter’s dream, and a possibil
ity that the former WWII flying
mates hadn’t really considered,
is on the verge of becoming
reality.
The coin collector has located
the four surviving airmen and is
in the process of working out the
details of a reunion in Birming
ham. He hopes to convince an
airline to provide transportation
for the long-lost friends and a
local motel to house them.
Salter recently met with offi
cials of the television show “Real
People” about doing a segment
on the reunion.
One former “Rat Poison”
crewmate, tail-gunner Robert
Mullen, vividly recalls the days
when getting caught in a bar
without a bill bearing several
Robinson now lives in Fort
Worth; Rowan lives in Dedham,
Mass.; Mullen in Springfield,
Mass., and Moody in Moody,
Maine.
The bill’s back bears a list of
the countries the bomber crew
flew over — Scotland, Ireland,
France, England, Belgium and
Holland. The currency also
holds the inscription, “Air Med
al 8-13-44.”
Mullen says after seeing a pic
ture of the bill in a newspaper he
went to one of his scrapbooks
and found an identical record
on an English 10 shilling note.
“We must have signed the bill
going over on the boat. I must
have gotten the shilling and had
them sign it the same way. It had
to happen that way,” Mullen
said.
The first newspaper story ab
out the bill was read by a man in
Auburn, Ala., who contacted
Robinson in Fort Worth. Robin
son telephoned Salter, who was
flown, without charge, to meet
the retired pilot by Republic Air
lines.
Through wire service reports
and subsequent media coverage,
word spread to the other mem
bers of the crew.
The chance for them to
reunite and discuss their adven
tures is drawing closer. Salter
hopes to have them together
