#. \. A. TAKES Up
| BUILDING PLAN
Second Phase of Program
Being Pushed-FIimsy
Homes Banned.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The second phase Of the Federal
Housing Administrations program
mortgage insurance for home con-
struction-is beginning to get its share
of attention.
The first few hectic weeks Of the
administrations life have been given
over almost entirely to getting under
way the insurance plan for home mod
ernization loans. Now that this is well
started, thought can be given to the
new construction angle.
James A. Moffett, housing admins
traitor, indicated yesterday. as he
pressed an ice pack against badly
swollen jaw caused by wisdom tooth
trouble, that the Government Is going
to have q lot to say about the homes
built under the mortgage insurance
program.
1.-The houses financed under the
program have got to be built right"
he said. They must be in suitable
neighborhoods in communities where
they are needed"
Under the housing act, Moffett Is
empowered to insure mortgages COW
ering 80 per cent of the appraised
value of newly-built homes, existing
dwellings and low-cost housing prof.
ects which he considers economically
sound"
BY refusing to insure mortgages for

whose revenues from those byprod-
ucts are sufficient to reduce the power
plant fuel cost to virtually nom
existant factor, leaving So-called peak
loads" to be handled by regional, dis
trict or local stations operated in ac-
cordance with the individual require
ments of their localities.
Governmental Aid Essential.
That all of these changes could
occur only through the combination
and coordination of the achievements
of the human engineer as well as the
mechanical engineer; that industrial
and social progress must occur to-
gether, as part of the whole; and
that this best could be accomplished
through the efforts of private capital
reinforced by governmental aid and
through a paternal, not hampering,
governmental supervision.
And that in the past, when power
was centralized, peoples must needs
come to it, for it was shackled me-
chanically to its source; that today,
through national electrification, power
is decentralized, it must seek peoples
for employment. Thus the trend OF
industries to the smaller towns and
cities, with their greater opportunities
for cultural development.
Not that the task Is ended. The
dreams of our dreamers of olden days
have not as yet all come true-for
instance, we haven't reached the half
way mark of potential development Of
our waterpower resources, nor the
halfway mark Of unmasking the Won
ders contained in a lump of coal.
But we have been going places and
doing things. For all OF that early
conceived program has been surveyed,
plotted, planned to nicely by our
engineer, mechanical and social. Our
designers and craftsmen and sta
tisticians have reduced those plans to
lines and curves and figures. What
we still have to do awaits only devel-
opments in demand and of physical
accomplishment, all of which is a
normal part of our national evolution.
Dreamers Are Still Dreaming.
In the meantime our dreamers are
still dreaming. They realize that we
have stormed the first rampartS OF
national electrification and conquered
them. We have, in some respects,
already progressed far beyond our
dreams of 1884.
And yet the next three decades

rays; and of harnessing the moon to
our giant power system, through the
erection OF generating plants mott
vated by the ebbs and flows Of our
tidal system (several plants, notably
one in British Columbia, one at the
Skagerrack in Scandinavian waters
and two on the Scottish Coast al
ready are in operation).
We are gazing with interest on our
greatest of rivers-the Mississippi,
the Amazon, the Orinoco, the Yangtze
and many a dream is being dreamt
here-especially concerning that Chi
nese gorge with walls of basalt 5000
feet high through which the Yangtze
wends its way.
Yes, the man who wrote our open
ing paragraph also can write the
closing one-Joseph X. Hart:
I'VE stand today where the Greeks
once stood; face to face with Fate.
We have power beyond their dreams
of power; power that indisputably
belongs in the realm Of nature, the
proper use of which will not degrade
q single human being. We can see
the fateS at work.
Let's 60 dream dreams. They
might come true-in 80 years from
now.
Evening star., 1934-08-22

Father Time and Mother Nature
hold for us as much and more in ratio
of potential development as they did
in those days of 30 years ago, for today
we are dreaming of even greater power
possibilities than we dared dream OF
then.
Then we were concerned only with
our possibilities as q nation. To-Day
we look forward to our possibilities
as q member of a world congress of
nations.
We are delving, for instance, and
delving seriously, into the problem OF
volume high-tension wireless trans
mission of power; a dream which, If
successful, would open the doors OF
the vast undeveloped. latent hydro
electric projects of the world to us.
And in the pursuance Of this dream
we already have made such progress
that we realize that its fruition is only
a matter Of laboratory and engineer
ing experimentation and development.

plants, or, as experiments have shown,
may afford an opportunity to take
advantage of the suns rays in our
super-heated deserts.

secrets, likewise, Of atomic and cosmic
