BRITAIN To BUILD
3O0,0)ODWELL|NGS
Government Program Will
Provide Homes for
1,25O,O00.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON-Thee extent of the slum
eradication campaign, which England
and Wales started several months ago
in an effort to build decent homes
for 100000 persons in five years,
can be measured now for the first
time in a government summary of
reports of local authorities in those
two sections OF the United Kingdom.
Backed by government drive and
subsidy, the crusade would wipe out
100000 houses and erect in their
stead some 100000 requirements.
Out of 1,716 housing authorities in
the two countries, programs have
been submitted and Professionally ac-
cepted for 1923, covering areas con-
tanning 80 per cent of the total popu-
lation.
$4,000 Houses to Be Razed.
Heading the list is London. with
$4,000 houses to be demolished and
265,O00 persons to be rehoused,
though the new Labor party regime
in the county council has claimed
itself dissatisfied with this program
and will substitute a more ambitious
one.
For the whole of England and
Wales, plans have been made for
building 10000 replacement houses in
the first year, $4,000 in the second
year, 10000 in the third year and
the rest started, if not completed,
by the end Of 1888.
The capital cost of providing these
will be els 100000 (normally S575,-
,00O). The exchequer contribution
in the first year will be about $780,
900 and will rise at the end of the
crusade to f3,1OO,OOO per year. The
excheQuer subsidy runs for 40 years.
The cost to the local authorities is
estimated at f214.0O0 in the first
year, rising tc f1,070,000 in the fifth
year.
Rentals Will Be Low.
Replacement houses are expected
to be let for from between Sl.50 to
81 a week, while fats are to be let
for from $2.25 to So.
These programs, however, cover
only the legal slum-the dwelling
(which is unfit for human habita-
ton on account of sanitary defects
and which cannot be made fit at
reasonable cost"
The second stage in the govern
ment's housing policy, as announced
by Sir Hilton Young. minister of
health, is to be direct attack on
overcrowding.
Where the abolition of the slums
he said, would insure that no man.
woman or child in the country is
living in house that is not fit for
human beings to live in" the second
stage will insure that that nation
has sufficient houses for its popula-
ton.
To carry out the second stage,
bill is to be presented to Parliament
which the government expects will
allow it to tackle overcrowding as
soon as the slum evil has been
abolished.
Salient points of the proposed
scheme are a national survey to de-
termine the extent of overcrowding;
the provision of sufficient dwellings
to house the overcrowded population
and the prevention Of future over
crowding by passage and enforcement
of laws against it.

DISTRICT GAMBLER
PAYS $199,185 TAX
Income Payments of Samuel r.
Beard Disclosed in Supreme
Court.

Payment Of S199,185,48 by Samuel
r. Beard, local gambler, in satisfac-
ton of income tax claims covering a
period of nine years, was disclosed in
District Supreme Court yesterday.
A certificate discharging all liens
on Boards property for failure to pay
income was filed by Tax Collector j.
Enos Ray.
Beard was convicted in Baltimore
in February, 1888, on an indictment
charging failure to pay income taxes
and was sentenced to serve 18
months in the Federal penitentiary
at Lewisburg, Pa. He also was fined
s12,50O.
According to the paper filed yester-
day, Beard did not pay his income
taxes each year from 1921 to 1928 or
In 1880.
Boards jail sentence will not be
affected by his payment of the back
taxes.

CHORUS GIRLS PAY
S. MORE ON ROAD
Code for Legitimate Stage Sets
Minimum at $50 Per
Week.

BY the Associated Press.
N. R. A. thinks chorus girls should
get IS a week more on the road than
when doing a regular stand.
This was one of the provisions in
new code for the legitimate full
length and musical theatrical industry
approved yesterday by the Recovery
Board.
The minimum set for chorus girls in
musical comedies was $50 week, with
an extra S5 when the show was travel
ing. Other minimum wages were re-
vised upward in the new code, with
the range depending on box Office
ticket charges.
N. R. A. said the amended code
Served the interest of labor by up
ward revision of minimum wages and
the insertion of maximum hour pro-
visions for employees not heretofore
embraced"
For the first time in the history OF
the legitimate theater there is limit
to the rehearsal period" N r. A. said.
Rehearsal periods are fixed at not
more than eight consecutive hours a
day or seven hours day, respectively
The rehearsal provision is relaxed,
nevertheless. during the seven days
preceding the first public perform
ance.

RELIEF AGENCIES PLAN
WORK FOR 3,5OO,OOO
Hopkins Estimates 100000 Re
ceiving Federal Job Aid Now.
$3O,OOO,OOO Paid Out.

By the Associated Press.
Swinging into its second Winter,
the relief administration is armed
with plans for enough work to employ
100000 persons, Harry L. Hopkins,
relief administrator, told his press
conference yesterday.
He added quickly, however, that he
didn't count on getting enough money
to carry out such an extensive pro-
gram. He said he did not think the
F. E. R. A. would ask Congress to
finance it all, nor that State and
local contributions would be sufficient.
The relief administrator estimated
100000 persons were working for
relief payments now, and reported
that 1901 100000 had been paid out
in work relief wages throughout the
country since last March %.
He said available Federal funds
would be sufficient to carry on present
relief activities until around March l.

Gilbert himself, sensitive, shy, nerv-
Gus and ever prone to underestimate
his ability, wouldn't go to see the
finished picture. He sent, instead,
three friends to tell him just what
they thought of him and of his story.
They reported that they felt he was
good, all right, but that the story
was slow, etc. The actor was plunged
into the depths of despair. Next
morning there broke upon his gloom
the murmur of a sea of raves. He
began to feel that perhaps he'd picked
the wrong three to report to him.
They may have been too eager, too
concerned to give a fair estimate.
This picture drew down a landslide
of enthusiasm for the actors. the pro-
ducer and the director, Lewis Mile
stone.
If Harry Cohn and Jack Gilbert
get together-and they had some diff
ferences during the making of the
picture which ran into a threatened
lawsuit-Jack Gilbert will come into
his second comeback picture under the
best possible auspices.
Cohn-made pictures are smashing
all records around the country. The
Grace Moore musicale, "One Night OF
Love-" is running full month in
houses which usually rate split week.
1T Happened One Night" got prize
for the best picture of the year and
put Clark Gable back into the high
place from which he had slipped.
The motion picture industry's lead
ers are touching the nadir OF gloom.
It isn't much more than a fortnight
until they will have to face the prob
lens of an election which may have
disastrous results to them, although
their campaigning is showing gratify-
ing results. In addition to the plans
they have been forced to project in
case the E. P. I. c. becomes fact
in California, they are hastily lnvestl-
eating new patents which they may
substitute for the triergon of William
Fox in case they cannot come to an
amicable settlement with that gentle
man.
Irwin Cobb's greatest concern at the
moment is his stump speaking against
a Sinclair r-ruled State. with State
made motion pictures as possibility.

This is not to say that this lambast-

the first half hour the plays lines are
sure fire. For the second, they are
warm. After that you begin to Won
der why the actors even bother.
The authors and producers couldn't,
however, have been more fortunate in
their audience last night. Present
were New Dealers, R. F. Gers, A. A.

laughed. The r. F. c. members
laughed little But, when questioned,
one of the more prominent ones said:

AT THE outset, however, Bring On
"A the Girls" is funny. The prologue
scene is one of the neatest bits of sa-
tire around, and it is played superbly
by Jack Benny, and even better than
that by Porter Hall.
The subsequent realization OF the
"Black Creek" Railroad and the sug-
pestion that anybody can get what
they want out of the r. F. C,-even to
the latter begging the railroad to take
S4OO 100000 instead of S5,000,000,
continues to tickle the major laugh
cords. But when the authors begin

keys with diamond collars are taken
