CITES
CONDITIONS

Blighted areas must be re-
built ''if our cities are to escape
bankruptcy and the citizens
freed from utter poverty and
depravity," according to Henry
K. Holsman, of the Chicago
Chapter of the American InSti-
tute of Architects.
During the past decade the
builC.ag industry, while employ
ing nearly one-fourth of all the
wage earners in the country,
built no homes within the rent
rate of that two-thirds of all
American families whose in
comes are below $4,000 a year,
Mr.. Holsman pointed out. "Only
one third of our families had in
comes sufficient to rent or buy
the homes we built" he added.
Mr.. Holsman cited conditions
in Philadelphia, where it was
found that for the past 10 years
no housing was built which 48
per cent of the population could
afford to occupy, while 81 per
cent of all new housing was
built for the II per cent of the
popula ..on having incomes from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year.
consequently" he continues,
many low wage earners were
encouraged to assume rent bur
dens too heavy for them to
bear, with subsequent disaster
to both the producers and the
users. That means that half
of Philadelphia'S population
must live in the old obsolete
houses, many thousands OF
which are not fit for human
habitation."
Chicago, it is estimated by
the Illinois Housing Commis-
sion, has SO square miles or
about $4,000 acres of bIghted
area where the ordinary mu-
nicipal services for the area
cost more than two and one
half times the rvenue levied
thereon.
Much of this blighted area
has been reduced to slumS,"
Mr.. Holsma commented.
"Slums are a social liability as
well as an economic liability
to the community. Into these
blighted and Slum areas sink
the temporary unfortunate to
become permanently delln-
quent.
"The homeless men and
drifting women and vicious
and resentful gangs gather
there and multiply and propa-
gate their kind. The unSani-
tary, lightless, vermin-infested.
dilapidated buildings increase
and propagate physical and
mental disease.
Improperly housed workers
and school children are per-
petually tired, inefficient, de-
Spondent, or hopeless and ir-
ritable-conditions that may
be, in the aggregate, as great
q menace to society as disease,
vice and crime, their offspring.
"The social liabilities Of all
slum and blighted areas are
an incalculable expense to SO
ciety, but it does not stop
there. City blighted areas
consist of small lots and obsolete
houses, mostly owned by alb
Sentee landlords who have no
use for them, but often owned
by residents who are kept poor

 Frank Stack, 29, of 53 Bishop street obtained . suspended sen- tence on charges of assault and breach of the peace. Malcolm Gra- ham, an employe of the Hotel gar age, alleged that Stack walked into his place of employment yesterday morning and without provocation socked him. The accused disclosed the fact that he and Graham are brothers-in-law and have had sew eral discussions on personal af- fairs. Stack claimed that Graham had taken a car without permission to give some friends a ride and had damaged the machine. The court apparently agreed that Stack had some Justification to feel peeved.
 John Collins, 22, of Baldwin street was given sixty days in jail. The execution of the sentence was suspended for one year and Collins warned that unless he stops his caye-man stun he will cerve the sentence. The young man had q quarrel with his girl friend.

 Peter Vitoinis still has friendly regards for one Peter Dovidaitis, 66, of 4 John street notwithstand- ing the fact that in a recent guar rel Peter of John street put Peter of Watertown in St Mary's hospital for repairs.
 The police claimed that a base ball bat was used in the argument and one of the Peters was batted out and 1t was not on a bunt either. AS the two men claimed the blow on the head did not break or dam- age their friendship the court agreed to permit the two men to forget about the incident and the bat.
 Another continuance was grant ed in the case of John Paolino, 45, of 112 High street, charged with carrying concealed weapons. His case has been set for a hearing on September 18th. The accused went a-calling on his estranged wife and flashed a gun.

u9 trouble bat is attempting to or Eanize the workers So that they can properly cooperate with the employers and. at the same time. reap the full benefits Of the NRA. The increased cost of living in the past two months was also pointed to by the speaker and he attribut- cd this partly to the NRA and partly to profiteering.
 Mfr Gamer recalled the big days of Wall Street stock buying and selling and pointed ou6 that in the 10 years before the crash dividends amounting to 47 billions of dol- lars were paid out. He claimed that if this money had been paid out in wages during the period there would have been no depres- sion. He warned against persons who will take advantage of the NRA to increase their personal gains. The gist of the talks of the two speakers was that by organ izing labor will be in a position to deal more evenly with the em- ployers.
 It is expected that next Tues day nights meeting 1T. Liberty hall will be largely attended. John J.. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, was unable to attend. A collection was taken up after the speaking anC the amount received was $3S.78.

 The speaker explained that the slowness of industry to get its codes before the national recovery administration Is one of the req sons for the present blanket code. He praised the American Fedora tion of Labor for the part it play ed in making the codes and for many changes affected which made the codes more beneficial to the workers.

 Mir Bowen was the principal speaker and he pointed out to his listeners that if workers are to benefit under the MIRA they must organize. He scoffed at the idea that the codes adopted under the MIRA by the various groups of workers will take care of them. He stated that employers in many in stances have cut working hours with the result that accompanying raises in pay have not caused any increase in the amount of the pay checks. He also declared that the 10, 12 and 15 per cent raises being given the employees nowadays does not compensate them for the loss in hours. He stated that in many

ALLSTATELAWS
 MAY BE UNITED TO FIGHT CRIME
Coordination of Enforce- ment Agencies and Smashing of Extradi- lions Laws Considered

Grand Rapids, Mich. Aaug 29- (UP)-Co-ordination of state law enorcement agencies into unified agency or concerted warfare upon crime was considered today by the national association of attorney generals.
 A vigorously worded plea asking association members to serve as intermediates between national and, local governments in the campaign to stamp out racketeer- ing will be presented and voted up- on at this aternoon's closing ses- sion of the association conference.
 With affiliated organizations pro- ceeding with their individual gatherings, officers of the Ameri- can Bar association were to meet today to discuss problems that will be presented Wednesday when the Seth meeting of the parent organ ization is formally opened.
 Chief among these pertain to the formation of local units which are organization in policy and aim. amendment to the organizations constitution to permit 1t entering political and other issues such as prohibition. The amendment is tho direct outgrowth of the poll of attorneys two years ago when the membership voted overwhelmingly in favor of modification of the 18th amendment. Drys protested such action was outside the intent of the association and was in con- fiict with it's constitution.
 Heading the resolutions commit tee is Attorney General Joseph E. Warner of Massachusetts. L
 Organized crime has come to the point where it no longer is a problem that one city or even one state can deal with," Warner said today. While the task of combat ting it is largely one of apprehen- sion by the police, the prosecutor and the attorney-general must CO., operate fully"
 Warner thought extradition con- troversies between states has in some instances hindered swift im- position of justice and he said a resolution probably will call upon the attorneys general to forgive and forget"

 HANSON. TRIAL

By DAN BOWERMAN. United Press Stan Correspondent

 San Jose. Calif., Aug. 29-(UP) A neighbor who saw David Lam- son, Stanford University function ary tending a bon fire in his back yard the morning the battered body of his wife was found in the bath tub proved damaging witness to the youthful intellectual on trial on a charge of murder.
 Mrs Silvia B. Bailey said the smoke from the fire smelled like burning cloth.
 police raked 10-inch iron pipe cloth. Dr Frederick Proescher later will testify he found bloodstains on the pipe and the rags.
 Mrs Bailey described smoke from the bon fire as "dense and heavy"
 The smell of the smoke first at- tracted my attention," she said. Ut had a pungent odor."
 Defense counsel Edwin M. Req could not shake her story. He in- tends to call criminologist to assert that the pipe and rags did not show blood traces.
 Mrs Bailey and her husband, Professor Thomas A. Bailey of the Stanford faculty, were intimate friends of the Lamsons.
 Other state witnesses added al- most as much to the defense plea that Mrs Lamson, the campus Y. w. c. A. secretary, and mother of 8 two-year old girl, could have been killed by an accidental fall in her bathtub as they did to the states contention that Lamson beat her to death.
 Frank A. Hapgood. an undertak- CT, told of removing the body from the tub. Wounds on the head were clean, as though washed, he said. The defense contended that Lam- son, in his grief, permitted the body to slip into the water after he held it against his breast.
 The prosecution questioned Hap good:
 Q-Did you notice blood outside the bathroom?
 A-There were some spots in the hall just outside the bathroom door.
 Hapgood said he found several clots of blood in the tub, and des- cribed bloodstains on walls and ceiling.
