toward Upton Sinclair; also, indi-
cate whether the next political
campaign is going to veer toward
the left or stay put in the slightly
left center.
The reason for these statements
is that while the FERA brain
trust" wants to make the National
Capital a laboratory for the we'll
worked-out advanced social expert
ments. there is a distinct hesitancy
somewhere about handing out the
money necessary to put life into
the cooperative enterprises.
Possibly this hesitancy comes
from the rather reticent and far
from.radical Mr.. Farley, who, in
addition to administering the de-
livery Of the mails, is concerned
with delivery Of the votes.
How to Gauge Strength
If the Districts cooperative and
public ownership of homes starts
ADJOINING, then take it for granted
that the Roosevelt Administration
Is going toward the Upton Sinclair
plan for ending poverty with a
vast scheme of barter and trade
and putting everybody TO work.
If these plans are throttled
down to sort of eight.miles-an-
hour gait, then it is an assurance
that the Administration is going
to let the Harry Hopkins boys
play at cooperative enterprises in
the National Capital-but that it
is to be looked on as purely q
laboratory experiment.
So keep the weather eye out for
news Of this sort within the next
few days.
Meantime Elwood Street, Direc-
tor Of Public Welfare, under
whom the local cooperatives would
be administered. warns that if
1000 people are off the relief rolls
and on self-supporting cooperative
work within IL months he will
consider the cooperative plans q

Of character" loan.
The Federal Housing Admins
tration has officially stated, in
explaining why the mortgage Sc
curity can be regarded purely a
legal form:
"A portion Of the fees GUS
tOmariIy charged in . mortgage
Transaction may be eliminated
because the insurance feature
should make possible q mini.
mum Of work in connection
with appraisal and legal re-
quirements."
This sentence should end dis
quietude on the part of prospec-
tive borrowers who are afraid
that the mortgage they must fill
out If they obtain a moderniza-
ton loan from a 81 '1gs bank
or building and loan association
win represent a high additional
cost. The mortgages are intended
only as a legal form, and as
such should not be expe1-jive as
far as service charges are con-
cerned.
Charges To Be Limited
Although it is not expressly
stated, it is probable that the Fed
eral Housing Administration in
tends such mortgages to be lin
tied as far as interest and other
charges are concerned in the same
way that the unsecured moderni-
zation loan is limited. In other
words, it seems probable that the
same maximum that can be
charged for all interest and other
fees in the case of the moderniza-
tion is intended to be applied to a

The lady's voice went off the

Semmes' policemen arrested a
red-headed resident of the French

The charge was "accosting."
