CHARLOTTE IS
NIPPED, $50,
BY Blue RIDGE
Ritch and Sandfoss Pace
Hilltoppers on Eve
of Holiday

CHARLOTTE, Nov. 29.-The
presence of seven new men in
the lineup wasn't enough to keep
the Charlotte Wildcats from be-
ing trimmed by the Blue Ridge
Hilltoppers, 13 to 0 yesterday.
The visitors were paced by Nor
ris (Trigger) Ritch. a Charlotte
boy, and AL Sandfoss, triple
threat star, who did just about
as he pleased all afternoon. The
rain that came down heavily af-
ter the first period flooded the
field and kept these two speed
sters from doing more damage.
A sleeper pass good for IS
yards that was pulled on the 10.
Gals on the first play after the
Hilltoppers received the opening
kickoff did the most damage as
the visitors drove to a touchdown
within five minutes after the
opening whistle. The play was
from Sandfoss to Gilmer and
caught the Wildcats fast asleep.
The visitors kept driving the ball
to the Charlotte FL, but lost the
ball there on downs.
Charlotte tried a lateral on the
second play and fumbled, the
Ridgians recovering on the Wild
cat 10. After Miller and Sand
foss had netted 8 yards on line
bucks, Trigger Ritch shot off
right tackle cut back, and cross
ed the goal line standing up af-
ter shaking off several tacklers.
Sandfoss' placement was perfect,
making the count to 0.
The third found the Wildcats
deep in the Blue Ridge territory,
every time the locals got in a
threatening position one of the
! backs would tumble and Hill
topper lineman would pounce on
the ball. Sandfoss punted from
behind his goal twice to ward
off the Wildcat attacks.
In a vain effort to tt the score

HOUSING PLAN
FOR MILLIONS
ISOUTLINED
U. S. Will Set Up Credit
For Citizens With Low
By FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent

4
WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov.
20. - (UP) - The government
stands committed to a policy of
providing adequate housing for
the millions of citizens whose low
incomes prevent them from OBJ
tanning private credit. it was re-
vealed today by President Roose-
welt.
The administration, it was ex-
planned, recognizes its obligations
to better the standards of living
of this enormous group, and sees
in such a move a definite Gift
10 heavy industry and to consum-
ing power.
Such a program will not con-
flict, it was added, with the hous-
ing activities now being carried
forward by Washington. Observ-
ers pointed out that it never was
intended that the .feaeraEhousing
administration, headed by James
A. Moffett, contract with persons
in the very low pay categories,
but that it deal with those who
could command a certain amount
of private capital.
In this connection, it was re-
called that the FILA was dealing
with those whose annual incomes
! ranged from between $1,000 and
| $500.
While no amount has been fixed
as to the cost of such an ambi-
tious program it was felt that the
sum would be within reasonable
limits and devoted to construction
of buildings replacing slums and
! of low cost dwellings.
Administration experts, in sum-
marizing the housing situation
and the reasons for the formula
ton of a new government pro-
gram, asserted that private CAPT
tai had been unable to provide
new construction that would of
! fer to families in the under
$1,000 year class, for example
rentals sufficiently low h I
enough would be left over to
provide the necessities of life.
With that in. mind, they fee,
that the governments embarka'
ton on such a housing program
would not run afoul of what now
is being done by private capita
for the simple reason that private
capital does not see in it profit
able venture.
At the same time, it was ex
planned that the government does
not feel that it is up to private
capital to do the job involving Sc
many millions of citizens although
it will welcome the dollars from
those sources should they care tt
participate. The government i:
, going to do it, it was added, be-
cause no one else will or can.
1t was explained that the pro
gram would be explored fully
here when Public Works Admin
istrator Harold L. Ickes comes tc
Warm Springs within the next
few days. The views of Mottet'
also will be sought when he meets

ARGUE EFFECT
OF IVA RULING
program Unconstitution'
all" Ants Declare
upheld" Say Agents

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 49,
(UP)-The effect of ruling
handed down here yesterday by
Federal Judge William T. Grub
on legality of the Tennessee Val
| lev Authority's program for pro
duction and distribution of low
cost electric power was subject
of contention today.
IVA spokesman said Judge
Grubb's opinion completely sus-
tains" the position Of the gov.
eminent agency, while antl-IVA
spokesman claimed the judge mac
ruled it's power program illegal
and unconstitutional.
Judge Grubb held that the
IVA has the right to sell sex
cess or unused" electric power
produced in aid of. it's operations
in improving the navigation OF
the Tennessee River, but de-
clared:
"The scope of the project OF
the Tennessee Valley Authority
as outlined by it's directors, and,
as it is being administered, for
bids the idea that its purpose in
dealing with electric power is
for the salvaging of surplus to
prevent its waste"
He stated further that the
IVA had no right to manufac-
ture electric power purely fol-
sale in competition with private
utilities.
On the strength of this opin-
ion, which Judge Crib declined
to interpret or explain, private
utility shares rose on the New
York stock exchange. The Birm-

Too swiftly with the threads that need slow plating.

Now we have looked upon the desolaton
