HOUSE SHORTAGE
FELT IN BERLIN
Million Dwellings Needed in
Germany Because of
Refugee IngreSS.

BERLIN, New. 24-More than 1000.
Gee dwellings, apartments or rooms
are needed in Germany to relieve
the housing shortage which has been
steadily increasing for the last six
months, especially in the eastern
cities which are crowded with Rus.
sian refugees, says an official state.
ment of the housing office.
In Prussia alone SIS 900 rooms are
in demand, an increase of 10000 in
three months and reports from every
large city in the republic declare the
housing situation is growing serious
with the advance Of the winter. The
need of &c Of the larger cities is de.
scribed as urgent.
The government had indicated its
intention Of abandoning the ration.
ing Of rooms within a short time.
but the fact that building operations
abandoned during the war, have not
caught up with the demands has ne.
ceSsitated a continuance OF control OF
dwelling space. Families, as well as
individuals, are permitted 10 occupy
only such Dom as are absolutely es.
sential.
This regulation has forced many
families with large houses 10 take
IN lodgers. In such cases the families
are permitted to choose their dodgers,
fix the charges and make such 'liv.
ing" regulations as are deemed es-
sentlal. The space. however, must be
occupied. and SO it has come about
that home owners have invited rela.
tiNeS, friends. or acquaintance 10
share their houses. many being averse
to give accommodations to strangers.
ON the other hand a number of
house owners. formerly wealthy, have
found the increasing cost of living
so burdensome that they are making
an active effort to secure foreign
tenants, particularly Americans. Eng.
fish, H%ollandcrs and S~candinavians
are able TO pay well.
state and city governments and
organizations are cooperating TO
solve the problem by a general and
energetic construction program which
would comprehend the erection of

EQUITY FORBIDS
DICT. TING CASTS
Changes Constitution to Pre-
Uent Interference.

The council of the Actors Equity As

to embody In its constitution a clause
forever forbidding the dictation Of the
casts Of theatrical productions. In order
to meet the charge that the Equity
shop would empower the association to
do this debating and thus ultimately
control the theatrical business OF Amer
lea.
I'VE are charged" said Frank Gill
more. executive secretary, with plan
ming monopoly of the theatrical busi-
ness through the Equity shop. Our op-
ponents charge us with eventually gain
ing this end by supervising all casts.
Equity shop provides only that members
may not act with non-Equity members,
and while 1t may apply against seven
different managerial groups it's enforce
ment has yet TO be carefully and safely
worked out.
I'VE never have even thought Of
supervising the casting OF plays, because
that Is a matter resting solely in the
province of the manager and author and
with which no other should interfere.
We would as soon presume to dictate
what kind of plays should be written.
1t was to refute the false and mislead-
ing statements of a small but very
vocal faction that the council passed
this resolution"
