BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Much has been written about
the fact that the national housing
program may be the principal
means through which business
and employment in the durable
goods industries will be revived.
Much has also been written
about the fact that the program
may liquidate the currency de-
funct mortgage market, an d
through the refinancing of the
present private mortgage debt OF
$4,000 million dollars place a
great deal of that frozen money
back in circulation.
Citizen Comes First
This Is all very true. But the
keynote of the program is the
benefits that it gives to Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas @. Citizen.
When an average family can
borrow money to repair or i'm
prove a home on a plan whereby
the loan is not secured by col
lateral and the terms are the
cheapest ever known in personal
financing, that's news.
And when that same family
can convert all existing indebted
ness on a home, including trusts,
taxes and the like, into a new
mortgage that is less expensive
than any ever known before IN
this country-that'S news, too.
More important, when other
families can secure money to
assist in the purchase of new
homes through one of these in
expensive mortgages, that's not
only news, it's a fundamental
change in our financial and
economic structure.
Must Work From Bottom
Hence, there is a little too much
thinking about how to get the
heavy goods industries moving,
and a little too much work to get
banks to cooperate, to foster the
program from the top of its make
up.
The keynote is the average citi'
zen. The whole program depends
upon getting the message to him,
so that he can learn of the ad-
vantages that can be so easily
obtained.
The national housing program
is not basically a bankers holi
day, or an excuse for capitalists to
confer in Washington on rule
number x4 in Section 345.
It is a promotion campaign.
When that fact is realized, eff
forts to promote the program
from the bottom upward will be-
gin. Then the durable goods
factories will hum, then the un-
employed will return to work,
then the banks will be forced
to make loans whether or not
they like the idea.
TomOrrow's article will ex.
plain further details of the
national housing plan.

ONE POISON DOSE
 GIVEN TEACHER
Old Employe of Alice G. Porter Will Be Indicted
 for Murder

Medford, Mass, March 5.-(UP) Miss Alice G. Porter, 55-year- old eccentric Radcliffe graduate and former school teacher with whose murder her handy man is charged, died of a single dose of arsenic.
 The analyses of the woman's vital organs by Dr William F.. Boos, Harvard toxicologist, have not been completed, but it was earned that no indications have been found that repeated doses of the poison caused her death. This would eliminate the possible cause of death as being from an accu- mutation of the pioson in her sys- tenn from medicine.
 Tomorrow the Middlesex county grand jury will be asked to indict Samuel J. Catino, 33, for 12 years Miss Porter's employe and com- panion, on a murder charge, Dis- trict Attorney Warren l.. Bishop announced.
 Meantime, no trace of $25,000 withdrawn from Miss Porter's bank accounts during the past five years could be found. Authorities dis closed that Miss Porter had less than $1,O00 in the bank when she died. Also no evidence of a large increase in the spinster's living ex- penses could be uncovered.

GAS HAS CAUSED
 MANY ACCIDENTS
Accumulates in Autos Which Makes Drivers
 DrOWSy or Careless

Hartford, Conn.,, Mar. 5-(UP) -Accumulation of carbon monox- idle fumes in automobiles while in operation, today was believed re- sponsible for many highway acci- dents.
 Results of tests conducted by the state health and motor vehicles department, the Travellers Insur- ance company and Cities Service Oil company, were announced to- day, revealing that "69" per cent of automobiles contain measur- monoxide and per cent of the cars contain quantities of this deadly gas "that may cause col- lapse and directly, increase the probability of serious accidents if drivers are exposed to the dan- gerous atmosphere four or more hours"
 Tests revealed that three or four parts of carbon monoxide in 10000 parts of air breathed for an hour may produce headache, drowsiness, irritability, etc., and may be the cause of faulty driving |, judgment. Fifteen parts of car- bon monoxide in 10000 parts of air, breathed in for an hour, may place a person in danger of death from the gas alone, irrespective of the automobile hazard"
 Concentration of the fumes, it was said, was due in many cases to poor maintenance of automo- piles.

Mair, List Firr,ed Up From 7he Early LolOs
Homestead Mining Spmted Up Ten Points Business
 in the Early Hours Was Not Bush
ELMER O. WALZER fTJnifed Press Financial Editor

New York. March 5-(UP)-A brief spurt in mining shares enliv- ened the stock market near the close today, but failed to bring a spirited rally. The main list firmed from early lows which represented losses of fractions to more than points and fluctuated irregularly late in the session.
 Homestake Mining spurted 10 points to $40, a new 1883 high when word went around the street the government probably would raise its gold price shortly to pre- vent sharp setback in commodity prices. At the same time word from Washington that the silver group planned campaign to force the administrators hand on silver brought a recovery into the silver issues. Coppers rose with silvers.
 The market opened quite and irregular. It was dull all day. Aft CT the opening prices drifted down until maximum losses had been ex- tended to more than 2 points in hte higher priced issues such as Allied Chemical. Railroad issues depress- ed fractions to more than a point before meeting support. Steels, oils, motors and miscellaneous shares joined the decline. Tobaccos were strong late in the day. Mercantile shares were in fair demand all day moving up against the trend.
 Liggett & Myers B., rose more than points in the tobaccos where Reynolds B., was up more than a point. Montgomery Ward firmed in the mercantile division when 8 divi- dend of $1.75 was declared on the cumulative class A stock. The A stock rose sharply on the Chicago Stock Exchange.
 Monsanto Chemical was bid up when the 1893 report revealed earnings at a new high record. Sew eral special issues made gains inc cluding Newport Industries at 8 new high of 12 up 7-8; U. S. Indus trial Alcohol up more than a point and Neisner Brothers up more than 2 points.
 The street was particularly in- terested in the presidents MIRA speech made in the morning. First conclusions were the speech was bearish on the market. Traders were particularly exercised over the presidents statement on higher wages and shorter hours since, it was argued, sch move would tend to reduce profits of corporations and thus reflect adversely in their stocks.
 Commodities were dull. Wheat eased 3-8 cent, closing above the lows of the day. Other grains were down small amounts. Cotton firm ed slightly as did rubber and cop- per, while silver, silk and hides de- clined. The dollar was slightly higher in terms of foreign ex- change.

(COnJlnuSu lTOIIl I o6S ls( for it. The guard, Merritt W. Hay den. 49. was battered to death by a heavy 1oist allegedly wielded by Kaminski. wargo. testified thta he and Kaminski had intended to escape through a. shop window but were forced to revise their plans when Sheriff David J. Manning happened along just outside the window, That delayed them, Wargo ex- plained, so that the recreation hour was over and Guard Hayden was returning from the tower through the shop before they had com pleted their work.
 Wargo said he hid behind a desk and that all he knew of the scuffle involving Hayden and Kaminski was the sound of scraping feet. He said he knew nothing of blow be- ing struck. He saw no weapon either before or afterward but remembered seeing the guard part ly prostrated on the floor. It was alleged that when officers arrested Wargo in Springfield last September he warned them that if they attempted to search him they would be Hooking at the daisies Wargo denied this.
 Sheriff Manning had testified that when he told Wargo of Hay den's death Wargo observed: q suppose I'll get the works now.' Wal.o likewise denied this.
 "All I said to Sheriff Manning was: Give me cigaret'," Wargo said.
 Indications this afternoon were that the fate of the two convicts, both facing the electric chair if convicted, would be in the hands of the jury not later than Thurs day night.

YOUNG GIRL HAS
 CHANGED MIND

New Haven, Conn, March b. '(UP)-The life of 8 "gangster's moll," today appeared less glamor- ous to Marion Nugent, 16-years- old high school student.
 Dissatisfied with school routine, Marion ran away from home Sat- urday night after reading news paper accounts of Norma Millen, wife of the alleged bank robber and slayer.
 T thought it would be thrilling, romantic and adventurous" she told state police, after she was picked up at Westport. T set out to be like her."
 Her mother was ntoified and Marion was returned home last night.
 "Well, I had a lot of fun any, way, even if I didn't get far" she told State Policeman Robert M. Kerr, while awaiting arrival of her parent.

INSULL LEAVES
 GREECE TUESDAY
Isolated at His Hotel in Athens-Has Made No
 Arrangements

Athens, Mar 5. (UP)-Police to- day notified Samuel Insull, Chicago utilities man. that he must leave the country tomorrow.
 Insult, whom the United States government seeks to extradite in order that he may be tried on charges concerning the collapse of his utilities interests, was isolated at his hotel ana said he was grave ly i'll.
 The foreign ministry on Saturday notified the ministry of interior, which is the police authority, that Insull must go.
 The government insisted on In- sulls department because it feared the American government would be angry if Insull were sheltered here longer. Originally he was to be expelled January 31, but won extensions of time on the plea of illness.
 So far as was known Insul1 had made no effort to obtain travelling papers, and has not asked for an American passport.
 However, Minister of Interior John Rallis told the United Press that Insull would be provided by the Greek government with special identity papers.

ANOTHER MIRA
 LAW UPHELD BY
 SUPREME COURT
New York State Milk Law Defended-Fine of Law
 ViOlatOr Upheld

Washington, March 5.-(UP)- The United States supreme court to-day upheld the calidity of the New York state milk law in a long awaited decision widely considered as indicating a favorable attitude by the court on federal recovery legislation.
 Federal laws were not involved in the case.
 But the New York case was so closely along the lines of tests of administration recovery laws that government awyers believed it in- dicated the court would approve the federal legislation in cases soon to come before 1t. This was the supreme courts first decision on an emergency law involving principles of price con- trol.
 Justice Owen J. Roberts read the courts decision. The court affirmed the decision of the New York staet courts of appeals which held that the law, passed after two persons had been killed in milk riots, was justifi- able emergency legislation.
 The law set up a milk control board fixing minimum prices which retailers might charge and mini- mum prices which might be paid farmers.
 The court divided five to four in favor of validity of the law. The lineup was the same as in the recent Minnesota mortgage moratorium case, which the court also upheld.
 Chief Justic Charles Evans Hughes and Justices Louis D. Brandeis, Harlan F. Stone and Benjamin Cardozo joined Roberts in the majority decision.
 Justice James Clark McReynolds read a vigorous dissent in behalf of himself and Justices Willis Van Devanter. Pierce Butler and George SyIfhar1and

WOOL MARKET,

Boston, Mar. 5-UP)-Prices of wool were holding firm in a quiet market today. Stocks of wool were small but the supply of yarns, tops, fabrics and finished clothing was heavy and moved slowly.
 Small sales of wool were being made to top-makers but manu- factors were slow to buy, with many having old commitments awaiting liquidation. Quotations were unchanged.
 The U. s. Agriculture Depart ment said: "Wool quotations in Boston are quite firm even though trade has ben very light for sev- eral weks. Some new business on goods is reported to have been placed recently but it is under- stood that number of mills that received the orders are covered on raw wool, or tops and yarns, needed in filling the orders. Esti- mated receipts of domestic wool at Boston, reported to the Boston grain and flour exchange durina the week ending March amounts ed to 4,301,4O0 pounds, compared with 244,300 pounds during tha previous week."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-05

terviewed when it was announced this morning that the X-raying of about 5000 school pupils had started in New Haven.
 Dr Godfrey proposed the system of X-raying local high school students to the board of health some time ago. The board decided to defer action on the matter until the Waterbury Medical association had rendered an opinion. The idea of referring the question to the association was supported by Dr E. H. Kirschbaum.
 "To date the Waterbury Medi- cal association has not rendered any opinion in the matter" de- clared Dr Godfrey this afternoon. T would gladly welcome an opin- ion as soon as possible so that the city can take action. Many com- munities throughout Connecticut are using the X-ray system at present."
 New Haven used the X-ray plan last year and it's system has been adopted as a model form by the state health department. The New Haven County Medical association has also approved the plan. Water  bury's association of surgeons and physicians is a part of the county organization.
 In view of the action on the part of New Haven in carrying on the X-ray system of detecting tuber- culosis among pupils for the sec ond consecutive year, it is possible that the local association of doctors will render an opinion before the next meeting of the health board.
 Should the X-ray system be de- cided upon here, Dr James Hen nessey will be in charge of the work. The cost of the X-rays will be between 60 and 75 cents. This low expense is because the com pany doing the work uses a special patented, sensitive paper instead of the usual costly plates.
