HOUSING DRIVES
GIVE Squirt To
BUSINESS
BY JAMES A. MOFFETT

Federal Housing Administrator
written for international News Service)
The Federal Housing Admins
tration is working to promote re-
covery and prosperity throughout
the United States by stimulating
the construction business.
When the ableSt economists in
America asserted last winter that
there could be no permanent or
Nationwide prosperity without
normal activity in the building
and durable goods industries,
President Roosevelt asked them
and leading industrialists, finan-
ciers, architects and business men
generally what could be done by
legislation to restore that desired
activity. The result was the Ma
tional Housing Act, approved by
the President just before Congress
adjourned last summer.
Two Campaigns
BY that act the Housing Admin
1Stration was set up and charged
with the duty of renewing the
American peoples interest and &C.
tivity in building to such an ex-
tent that all the 1nnumerable in
dustries dealing in materials and
articles needed for building, re-
pairing, equipping and decorating
homes and business structures
would find a market Tor their out
put.
In administering the act, the
Housing Administration is putting
on two campaigns, closely related
and looking to the same great
object.
The first campaign, already in
operation, is the modernization
and repairs program. The banks
and other lending institutions are
insured by the Federal Govern
ment against loss in making loans
to owners of homes and business
properties for the purpose of
undermining, repairing or other
wise improving their holdings.
Each individual loan may be in
any amount from $10O to $4,000.
Because at least 13,500,00
American homes had fallen into
disrepair during the depression
years and were deteriorating more
and more as time went by, and
because it was essential, for re-
covery purposes, to start building
activity on a big scale at the
earliest moment possible, we con-
centrated on the modernization
and repairs program as soon as
we began, July z last, to set up
our organization in Washington.
Aid On Mortgages
Our second campaign will soon
start. On or about November l,
we hope to complete the rules and
regulations authorized by the
housing act to encourage and pro-
mote construction Of new homes
and business buildings.
This will be done through
establishing national mortgage as
sociations and putting new life
into the mortgage market which
has so long been practically at a
standstill.
To date, after barely a month
Of activity in the field, we have
received reports from 1850 (on
october - communities that they
have selected their better housing

who are completing or have COM
pleted their local organizations.

the local committees will have
been set up.
But the building contractors
and manufacturers are not wait

into action. They have already
reported increases in their bust

mould be caused to the important
French interests in that country.
War material, including q large
numbers of bon1bers, had already
been sent to strategic positions, and
the Italian troops in Africa had
been reinforced.
The tacit consent of Great Britain
had been obtained. The British would
rather have Fascists as neighbors than
the japanese, who have been recently
making great and successful efforts to
penetrate Abyssinia.
But the assassination Of Alexander
and Barthou, together with the po-
litical crisis in France, has prevented
an understanding between France and
Italy and until an agreement between
the two countries is reached, Italy's
hands are tied. The Abyssinians can
breathe more freely now, but the dan
ger of having trouble with Italy has
not been eliminated by any means.
The British showed certain
amount of eagerness to help II Duce's
African policies. This support was
shown recently when the Board OF
Trade (the British Department OF
Commerce) published a report in
which it was shown that the export
Of airplanes and airplane parts was
permitted to all parts of the world
with exception Of Abyssinia.

The demonstrations were given be-

Warns Of Radicals.
A warning against radical and other
undesirable outside influences was
sounded at the dinner by DR.. James
E. West, chief Scout executive. who
said:
"A great responsibility faces us be-
cause Of competing agencies working
to capture the interest of our youth;
agencies which stand for the deStruc-
tion of religion. Religion is needed,
and the cooperation of the church
is necessary"
The Most Rev. Amelto Giovanni
Cicoganani, apostolic delegate to the
United States, was a guest Of honor.
George Cardinal Mundelein, arch
bishop of Chicago. who was to have
been a guest of honor, sent a mes
sage Of regret at not being able to
attend. Others in attendance included
about AZ bishops and archbishops.
Boys Give Shows.

transformed into a combination ships
deck and campground as the Boy

as "cub packs" from Chevy Chase,
who represented the Baltimore district.

MOVE TO CONTROL
TELEPHONES AIDED
Public Utilities Commission
Makes Plea to New Com
municati0nS Board.

The Public Utilities Commission TO-
day joined similar commissions from
many States in demanding better
regulation of the telephone business
from the new Communications Com
mission than was available under the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Speaking for the D. c. Commission
and others at a hearing before the
communications group today, DR.. Milo
r. Maltbie, chairman Of the New York
State Public Service Commission, said
that under I. c. C. accounting orders
it had been possible for the New York
Telephone Co. to write up" values Of
property bought from the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co.. which
owns all Of its stock, by millions of
dollars.
He reported two specific cases. In
one, he said, property of the A. T. &
T. carried on its books at a net figure
Of s4.275,00o was bought by the New
York Telephone Co. and entered on
the latter's books at $5,929,000, all
apparently in accord with the I. c. C..
accounting rules. In the second in
stance, the sale of property on the
books of A. T. & r at $4.154 900 re-
suited in an entry On the books of
the New York Te4 phone Co. Of
S6.44o 900.
The District commission is in litiga-
ton today with the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. on issues SINH
lar to those stressed by DR.. Maltbie
involving hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The telephone company was
successful in the District Supreme
Court in contending that the local
commission had no jurisdiction over
setting depreciation rates for tele-
phone property This question is now
being contested in the Court of Ap-
peals.
Meanwhile the local commission Is
asking the Communication Commits
sion to leave this to the control of
the local commission.
The hearing today will be followed
by later conferences with members of
State commissions, at which it is ex-
pected that some agreement will be
reached as to their respective juris-
dictions over telephone accounts. This
procedure is authorized by the Federal
communications act.
Commissioner Paul Walker presided
at today's session. John E. Benton,
solicitor for the National Association
OF Railroad and Utilities Commissions,
spoke in behalf of AZ State commits
sions, asking the communications
group to scrap the telephone account
ing rules of the I. c. c. and start again
from scratch with a new and better
set to be worked out.
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts,
appearing in his own behalf, also
urged action similar to that suggested
by DR.. Maltbie and Mr. Benton. The
hearing room was crowded with men,
bers of State utilities commissions
who have remained in Washington
following the close of the convention
