place tonight. Just call your
mother and tell her"
The first grille shook her
head.
"Oh," she cried, IT couldn't
call home at this hour. If I did,
my mother would think I'm
killed"
Highly ironic is the story Of
the young woman who recently
wrote a series of articles ex-
posing theatrical conditions in
China. She was stranded in
Shanghai, it seems, as a member
Of an American theatrical
troupe that collapsed. Her stor-
les were very bitter and she
fervently prayed that she would
never again see any part Of
Shanghai. b..
Her experiences must have
been pretty tough, and there is
no question but that the young
lady meant every word she
wrote. But a certain doctor,
whom she met aboard ship
while returning to America,
stepped into the picture. She
fell in love-and they were mar
ried just about the time her
articles began to appear.
So she's now very happily
married and settled down-in
Shanghai.

I heard about Indo-Vin and started
taking it, and I want to say that

back is gone and my kidneys don't
feel sore and achy like they used to.
I don't remember a time in my life
when I ever slept any better than

PUBLIC WORKS

Support Of the new public
works bill introduced in the
House by Representative Grove
is urged by the Producers Coun-
Gil, a national organization of
manufacturers of building mate
rials. This measure, now before
the Ways and Means Committee,
provides $2,5OO,OOO,OOO for con-
tinuation of the public works
program, allocating 100000, 900
for new building construction, in
Guiding 100000 for Federal
buildings.
The Construction League of the
United States also favors the bill,
the passage of which, it declares,
would round out the present
public works program and would
carry the nation many steps far
ther on the road to recovery"
A special committee of the
Construction League is function
ing on this bill and every re-
source is being utilized to further
it's passage, says a statement by
H. H. Sherman, of New York, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Producers
Council.
"A petition in favor of the bill
is being circulated in the House
and encouraging sentiment is de-
veloping," according to Mr.. Sher-
man. 1T is hoped that strong
backing may produce favorable
action before Congress adjourns.
The chance for passage of the
La Toilette ten billion dollar pub
lie works bill has become remote.
THE Councils Committee on
Public Buildings has worked
hard for recognition of the needs
of the building industry and for
more substantial ALLEGATIONS of
public works funds to building
construction. This bill appears
to offer the last possibility for
action at this session on any ade-
quate extension of the public
works program"

AID DEMAND DEED
FOR HOUSING

Building and loan associations
are anxious that Congress write
and enact a revised housing bill
before adjournment, it is shown
in statements made in the most
recent hearings on the proposed
measure.
Morton Bodfish, executive vice
president of the United States
Building and Loan League, before
the House Banking and Currency
Committee Saturday, June 2,
urged enactment of three out of
the four titles of the Administra-
TONS housing program.
On behalf of the building and
loan associations he objected
most StrenuouSly to the proposal
that the United States Govern
ment guarantee or insure existing
mortgages or establish federally
sponsored mortgage associations
to operate nationwide. 1t was
commended that the insurance of
mortgages by the Government and
the establishment of nationwide
mortgage operations would not
bring immediate or substantial re-
suits and was essentially a re-
form proposal and admittedly ex-
perimental. The statement indi-
Gated that while other phases of
the program encouraged activity
and the use of private capital,
the controversial insurance of in
dividual mortgages would damage
community thrift and home
financing institutions beyond any
benefits that could be derived in
the next IL to "a months period.
The building and loan leader
urged that the committee report
the Administration bill in the fol-
lowing form:
l. The alteration, repair and I'M
provement program as proposed
in the Administration bill.
2. A half-billion or billion dol

Aid; Applicants Must
Prove Distress

In spite of extra work and de-
lays incident to denomination
of pending loans, made necessary
by recent amendments to the
Home owners Loan Act affect
ing eligibility of applicants, the
Home owners Loan Corporation
closed 14,476 loans, totaling $780,
573,478, during the week ending
May Is, it was announced by the
corporation today.
To confirm previous action by
the board of directors of the COR
poration in eliminating unwar-
ranted applications and conse-
quent waste of time and resources
of the organization in dealing
with them, Congress laid down
restrictions in the amendment
requiring every applicant to pre-
sent proof of genuine distress.
The corporation to date has
been obliged to disapprove thou
sands of applications in which
home owners who are in no such
distress sought to take advantage
of the favorable terms of gov
ernmental refinancing, sometimes
with the collision of the lender.
The applicant is required to
fill out and sign a form prepared
in accordance with the new law.
The act provides heavy penalties
by fine and imprisonment for
wilful misstatements as to the
borrowers capacity to carry his
present mortgage.
