CITY BUILDING
PERMITS TOP
LAST YEAR :

Ell Centres building permit to
tails for the current year topped the
100000 mark yesterday afternoon
when q permit was issued to Mary
Kelliher for the construction of q
service station at 285 East Main
street. The new station will cost
$1,000, according to the permit filed
at the city engineers office. This
brings the total for the year to date
tc $1OO,972.
"At this time last year" Phil
knights, city engineer, stated this
morning, "the building permit total
was $165,211. This figure is higher
than theone reached by this years
totals, but we must remember that
the building permits last year were
started cut in January with $4,000
for the new post office" Knights
added.
He pointed out that considering
this fact and the final figure reach
ed last year in the building permit

NOFFETT AND
|CKES STAGE
SHARP CLASH
New Deal Leaders Disagree
On Desirable Policy For Hous-
ing Program.
BY RICHARD L. HARDNESS
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. A
clash of new deal opinion rival
ling that which brought Gen. Hugh
S. Johnsons resignation as NRA
chief today appeared headed to-
ward President Roosevelt for set
tlement.
Two Of the Presidents most pow
erful advisors, Harold l.. Ickes and
James L. Moffett, met in public and
fundamentally disagreed over the
important question Of housing pol
icy.
Ickes who has directed eXpendi-
ture of billions in the public works
program asked for public financing
on the huge program upon which
the new DEAL is depending largely
to strike a crushing blow at unem-
ployment and inertia in the capital
goods industries.
Moffett, director Of the program
authorized under the national
housing act, said Ickes' project
would cripple efforts to revive
housing under private financing.
The issue is public versus pri-
vate financing. Because the con-
troversy brings to the surface q
fundamental and recurring conflict
in new deal" philosophy it was
believed certain President Roose-
velt would attempt to coordinate
the positions of his advisors.
Private Interests Assailed
Moffett is already engaged under
the housing act in promoting
through private auspices exactly
what Ickes wants done with gov
ernment money.
Shortly after Ickes issued a
statement declaring his views had
been incorrectly interpreted, Moi
felt told the press that any public
program of the type mentioned by
Ickes would wreck the nations
mortgage structure and Checkmate
the whole housing administration
effort.
Ickes had aSsailed private inter
ests as unwilling or unable to un-
dertakc an extensive building pro-
gram. He said private interest
charges Of and per cent were
too high as we're labor charges. He
proposed that the government fl
nance home builders at 3 per cent
with no down payment and that
labor lower its hourly wage scales
in return for year-round employ
ment.

VALLEY MAY
GET FROST

Imperial Valley is due for a sec
ond frost, probably Sunday morn
ing. states Fred A. Baughman, 10
cal representative of the U. S. Frost
service.
The first frost occurred Wednes-
day, November 81, when tempera-
lures of 81 were recorded in the
colder areas. Last year the first
frost was not experienced until De
cember l.
Baughman reports that the high
pressure area over the ocean between
California and Hawaii which has
been developing the last week is now
moving inland and colder weather
Is expected for California.
Probably by tomorrow morning a
moderate frost will be experienced
in the colder areas of the valley.
For a few days at least, valley resi-
dents may anticipate cold weather
under the influence Of this high
pressure area.
The extreme cold weather is still
existing in Canada and Alaska but
has not come down into the west
ern UNIFIED States. There was a
high pressure area developing there
but it moved eastward.
Bauchman states that Califor-
MAS coolest weather comes from
Alaska and northwestern Canada
AS a rule the cold wave moves cast
ward. but sometime takes Wester-
" direction and it is then that thls
state has its cold weather.
