TRADITION TOWN CONSTRUCTED
Simple Homes Being Erected in Norris for Workers

u knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 81
IN Far from being some bizarre
and startling innovation, the type
Of houses to be built at Norris
will go back TO traditions Of this
mountain region for their service.
First town to be built deliber-
ately as part Of the great Ten
nessee valley social experiment
centering on Muscle Shoals, Norris
will have the sort of housing
which the mountain people are
used to-but with every modern
improvement.
For instance, there will be cleo
trio heating throughout. The
town site is only four miles from
the future Norris dam on Cove
creek, and the cheap power is ex-
pected to make electric heating
practicable throughout in so mild
a climate
This will cut down on fuel
transport, delivery entrances, fire.
quent painting, and dirt in gen.
eral.
Such houses need no Easements,
and Norris will have few dwellings
that go below ground. People
down here are used to that style,
because the mild climate makes
Easements unnecessary.
On the other hand, every house
will have broad, extensive porches,
which may be screened in and
used as living or sleeping quarters.
Light glass panels will substitute
for the screens in winter.
Very few houses will have a
second story-again because that
is the type of house favored in
this region. But the roof space
is made available by steep, cheap
stairways, and may be used as
sleeping quarters if desired. Three
and four-room houses predomi-
nate, as is characteristic of the
region.
A LII kinds of ultra-modern
IA house plans were suggested
when the architects, under direc-
ton Of Earle S. Draper, IVA
director of land planning and
housing, met to exchange ideas
and form plans.
But the false Old World half
timber work designs, period"
types, and ultra modern expert
ments were rejected, and designs
that sprung from the soil, the
mountains, and the forests of this
old region were called on as a
base.
Housewives of the neighborhood
were consulted freely as to their
preferences, and the result should
be a mountain village, modern as
a Fifth avenue apartment, but
still mountain village.
Native and customary materials
will be used so far as possible. In
general, the exterior walls will be
of local brick, though some frame
houses Of wide, rough, stained
boards will break up any monot-
ony.
Hand-riven shakes" or thick
shingles, will be used for roofs.
Both interior and exterior will be
very plain and without "orna-
ment, depending for effect on
soundnesS and naturalness of de-
sign rather than decorative de-
vices
A unique, but practical feature
is inclusion of the breezy-way,"
or "dog-trot," house. This is a
house plan once very common
throughout the south, which has
an open porch or wide gallery"
running entirely through the
house from front to back.

Credit Plan Considered

AOCEOA ONO ul4QC1 is
the "USEC" plan proposed to con-
gress a year ago for consumer
financing. This bill, introduced by
Senator Costigan Dem, (Colo.) and
Representative La Guardia Rep.,
N. ", and now fusion mayor of
New York, provides for advances
OF $500 each in government credit
to heads of families for food hous-
ing and other necessities.
These loans would be made with
cut interest for one year, and at low
interest thereafter. This plan was
advocated strongly by the powerful
railroad unions, and may be re-
vlved in congress in January, al
though some action along this line
might be taken by the relief adj
ministration. 1t would supplement
the big purchasing power addition
just made through the $500 900, 900
civil works administration method
Of unemployment relief.

what the gold policy does imme-
diately to prices, however, is of
paramount Importance to the adj
miniStration
So far, the dollar has been re-
duced to an equivalent of 61.2 cents
in gold, the increase in gold prices
in the last ten days, incidentally.
amounting to only 20 cents. At this
point the dollar is equivalent to
1921 grains of pure gold, compared
with 1922 under the gold standard.

WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-Henry
Morgenthau, acting treasury secre-
tary, returns today from Warm
Springs to carry out the next steps
Of the Presidents price stimulation
policy in a more favorable at
mosphere than that of last week.
With the gold-buying policy firm
~ established, chief interest centered
here on the point where the admin
istration will fix the gold level and
on the possibility of further steps
to improve internal business and
prices.
There also was some discussion
OF the S727 100000 Dec. Is ref1nanc-
ing necessitated by maturity of gov
eminent securities, but this situation
was viewed with confidence at the
treasury. For one things, bonds,
while depreciating somewhat in re-
cent weeks, still are far above the
levels of some points in the depres-
sion.
In this connection the committee
for the nation, whose recommended
lions follow closely and sometimes
anticipate the Roosevelt Warren
policies, has published a govern
Mountaineering proposal by Frank
A. Vanderlip, the financier.
Urges Honest Dollar" Method
He proposed a sliding-scale gov
eminent bond which, for instance,
would pay $105 of face value if
prices, as measured by the bureau
of labor statistics, were 5 per cent
above their level at the time me
dollar was invested. n
Mi. Vanderlip urged this as the
only honest dollar" method of in
veStment, for government as well
as private financing. The Tennes-
see Valley Authority, in setting con-
sumerS' rates for electricity, has
agreed to increase or decrease rates
in ratio to changes in the cost of
living
Mr.. Morgenthau today also is to
announce the amount of govern
ment bond purchases by the treas
ury last week. Opponents of the
Roosevelt monetary policy have
| cited these as an effort to uphold
United States bond prices in the
face OF the Sprague attack and the
discontinuance of open market bond
purchases by the federal reserve
board.

every reason to believe that Wat
son would favor, or at least not OBJ
.struct, his own candidacy.
Morgan, so it is related, told Wat
son that the men who had put up
$500 should have run for their
money and, from that time on, he
was off the Watson books.
In a meeting held at Muncie fol-
lowing the election, Morgan was
called upon to give an account of
his stewardship. He told the mem
bers that the committee was in debt
to the extent of $4,000 when he
took charge. Among the creditors
was Harry Fenton, secretary, to the
extent of $4,000. Micky Hanrahan,
field worker, was back $4,000 and
Gaylord Morton, auditor for the
party, had $4,000. coming.
There was a hotel bill for two
years for $4,000 and the telephone
company had extended credit to the
extent of $4,000
Morgan raised the money to clear
the debts, run the campaign on a
cash basis, and still has a balance
of about $4,000 in the treasury, the
first time, it is said, since former
Governor James Goodrich was chair
man.
This record will be brought into
the open when the committee meets.
Under the rules all meetings must
be open to the public.
Friends of Morgan are fighting
mad. They will protest against
Watson again becoming dictator OF
the organization.

BONE DRY LAW
DOOMED, SAYS
GOV. M'NUTT
Repeal to Come, No Matter
What Beer Bills Fate,
Asserts Executive.

Beer bill, or no beer bill, the
Wright bone dry law will be re-
pealed at this session Of the legis-
lature."
This was the assurance given
newspaper men today by Governor
Paul V. McNutt.
He explained that the admins
tration beer control bill is being
delayed purposely, pending action
of congress.
Should this delay be too pro-
longed, the Wright law will be re-
pealed without the beer control
BILL" he asserted.
Predicated on Congress Action
Our beer control measure was
predicated upon passage of the
Collier bill by congress" McNutt eX-
planned. But that bill has been
changed completely in its approach
to the problem. In the United
States senate they have adopted the
Beck view of modification"
This view is based upon the alco-
holic content of beverages as being
Misunderstanding Sin fact" and makes
the measure different from the
stated limit of 81 per cent beer
upon which the Collier bill first was
based.
The theory of nonintoXicants "in
fact" was advanced by Representa-
tive James Beck of Pennsylvania.
Death of the beer bill has been
predicted freely, following its re-
commitment to the public morals
committee in the house, after it
was withdrawn by administration
leaders from second reading in the
house.
Bill Just Sleeping
The Governor assured wondering
vets that the pill is not dead, but
sleeping.
He said that he is eager to have
beer control in the state as soon
as its sale is legalized by the ma
tional government.
Only in this way can sale be con-
trolled to prevent the return of sa-
looms and give the state revenue,
the Governor pointed out.
He is DESTROYS that this be ac-
complished without calling spe-
cial session of the legislature, he
said.
