BY JOHN DEAN M1LLAGAN
Most of the discussion, publicity
and opinion on the "moderntza-
ton" drive being staged oy the
Federal Housing Administration
has been concerned with homes.
Yards of advertising, columns
Of newspaper space and hundreds
of talks before visible audiences
and over the radio have extolled
the benefits of improving the
home.
Helps for Business
The "modernization" drive can
be just as beneficial to many
other types of buildings.
Repairs and Improvements to
apartment houses, churches
stores, garages, silos, office build
ingS, race track barns and almost
any type of property improve
ment can be financed.
Any property Improvement Is
almost certain to increase its
worth. But in the case of stores
and other business buildings,
there is one other advantage.
It is the fact that many repairs
and alterations can be more than
paid for in increased patronage or
goodwill.
The business man needs no
Socrates to explain to him the
value of arranging and modelling
his business premises in such a
way that everything will be up-to-
date, designed along modern mer-
chandising lines and calculated to
represent salesmanship, comfort
and service.
Easy to Do Now
The rub has been that until a
few weeks ago, the average busl-
ness man could not obtain loan
for such improvements, or had to
sign notes than would obligate
him beyond his immediate means.
Today he need not be worried.
A "modernization" loan, repayable
monthly over period of from one
to five years, will solve the diff.
Guilty. Never before in American
financial history have there been
personal, unsecured loans so lib
eral and so easy to repay.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-11-24
A THREE DIMENSIONAL
IITCuXUAV

The startling l2-hour flights
across the continent and the round
trip wn-to-dusk flight from New
York to Miami are in great meas
ure possible because the planes
travel on what is virtually pre-
determined highway through the
air. The weather data that is
available before and during the
flights enables the pilot to know
all through the trip at exactly
what attitudes the most favorable
winds can be found. And he also
knows at what attitudes the motors
will give the best performance for
given weather densities.
If unexpected situations develop
in the weather, then the plane is
informed by radio and told when
and how far to climb or descend to
take advantage of the best condi-
lions. Thus the mapping out OF a
three -dimensional highway is a
complicated job of balancing per-
Torrance against actual weather
conditions.
The data according to the mete-
biologists must be based not only
on tail or head winds but also on
cross winds The latter coming

Plotting the American Pogroms

This is the last article of John
L. Spivak'S series, plotting the
American POgrOmS," which have
appeared weekly in the New
Masses, and have been reprinted
in the Daily Worker. In these
articles, Spivak has produced
overwhelming proof of widespread
and organized anti-semitic ac-
tivities in this country, closely
linked up with Nazi Germany,
operating under various disguises.
He has uncovered the anti-semitic
propaganda of organizations such
as the Silver Shirts, Order Of rs,
the Paul Reveres, and individuals
like former Congressman Louis T.
McFadden, Ralph M. Easley,
George Sylvester Viereck, Viola
lima, and others. In this last
article, Spivak turns his attention
to various farmers organizations,
whose leaders are attempting to
divert the discomfort of the
farmers by using the Jews as
scapegoats.
