HOUSING BILL
REVA|NP INC
FAVORED
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

DIV ANAEAN
Drastic revision of the Admins
tration's housing bill is favored by
the House Banking Committee,
which now has it under consider
alton.
While the entire committee is
reported to be sympathetic to its
purpose, violent opposition to
many of it's proposals developed
today.
Object to Capitalization
Representative Busby CD OF
Mississippi said committee mem
bers objected to the Capitalization
of authority in the measure. He
explained:
ut is my opinion that what
ever legislation is enacted for
relief ought to be administered
by organizations in the various
sections of the country instead
of being centralized in Wash
ingtOn.
"There is the additional fear
that building and loan aSsOcia-
tions which have financed 3d.
100000 of building might be
destroyed, and this would have
a more detrimental effect than
the good that could come from
the bill"
UNLIMITED LIABILITY
The bill provides unlimited
funds to be used, said Represen-
tative Wolcott (R) of Michigan,
continuing:
"It provides for a capital of
$500, 100000, to be subscribed by
the Secretary of the Treasury,
to insure mortgages. This can
be expanded five times by ad-
ditiOn of private capital, to in
sure mortgages for renOvizing,
undermining and improving ex-
isting homes. The President by
proclamation can expand the
capital without limit.
There is no limit on the
liability of the Government for
insuring mortgages for new con-
StructiOn."

Ordinarily, the breaking up OF a
director-Star combination is moth
ing startling. There have been
artistic teams before, notably D.
w. Griffith and Lillian Gish, Ed

Cecil B. DeMille and Gloria Swan
son, but the partnership Of Diet
rich-von Sternberg is of another
order.
This splitting up is based on
principles Of common sense and
through no rift in the friendship
Of these two. Won Sternberg be-
lieves that it is impossible for both
to continue without repeating
scenes and locales, and that they
must, for the good of both, sepa'
rate.
Mr.. Won Sternberg also knows
that when they are reunited (and
it's a cinch they will be-, the pub
lie will be doubly anxious to see
their efforts. Mr.. Won Sternberg
is, if you haven't noticed this be-
fore, one Of the smarteSt ShoWmen
