DURING PAST WEEK
20 Persons Make Request for
$455, 800 to Build or Re-

BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The chief purpose of the national
housing act-to reform the entire
system of home financing along lines
of amortiZed loans of long term
apparently is being worked out in
Washington at surprisingly rapid
rate.
1t was announced today that ap-
plications for insured mortgages to-
falling more than So 900 900 have been
received in the District office of the
Federal Housing Administration since
the first of the year. In each instance
the administration has carefully ex-
amined the application before accept
ing it, and has at least accepted
appraisal fees from all the applicants.
In many instances commitments for
mutual mortgage insurance have been
issued.
Insurance Phase Success.
The flow of applications in recent
weeks has been amazing. The success
of Title IL the mortgage insurance
phase of the housing act, has surpassed
the expectations of even its most en-
thusiastic supporters in Washington.
Hundreds of individuals have been
coming in the local Office, and the
speculative builders and land develop
ers have been bringing in many more.
H. H. Dearing, F. H. A. director in
the District, announced today that a
new record was set during the past
week, when 70 applications for insured
mortgages were accepted by his office.
Thirty applications came in yesterday,
setting another record, that for sim
gle days business. A total of 395 home
owners and prospective home owners
were interviewed in the week by Dear

S455,600 Requested.
The 10 persons from whom applica-
tions and appraisal fees were accepted
during the week requested s455,600
with which to build or to reflnance
their present mortgages. Dearing
stated that approximately 35 per cent
of the applications received so far have
been for new construction.
The director stated that Washington

to protect game fish. Not primarily, from what has been widely heralded as the game hog" but, rather, from plane transportation and growing interest in AL aska. He points out that with the airplane capable of reaching fishing grounds in hours which therefore required weeks of tough tramping in the woods, there is acute danger of lakes and streams being fshed out unless some reg ulation is set up limiting the catch and then replant- ing fishing grounds where the supply threatens to be- come depleted.
 In this connection, Myers said that it has been his eX perience in recent years that camera and fishing pole are replacing the gun among sportsmen coming to the north. The big ma- jority of the outdoor part ies seem primarily interest ed in catching some of AL aska's famous fish, he finds,

and big game hunters are learning more and more to taking pictures of the big brown bear, sheep and oth- CT wild life rather than get ting a prize head.
 Sportsmen from the states such as Corey Ford, ,Alastair MacBain and others, have previously reminded us of the growing interest in AL aska fishing and the need, as they see it, of preserving the fish as a natural asset. The same thought coming from an Alaskan well ac- quainted with conditions over a long period would indicate there is more to it than simple theory.
 In the years to come the travel tide to the north will grow, and in it will be the fishermen, encouraged by the accessibility of fishing grounds due to increased air transportation. If Alas ka is to capitalize on its natural assets, it appears not a bit too early to con- serve that portion of them which can very easily be depleted, as conditions in the states testify. Tourists can't carry away Mount Mckinley, but they can very well eliminate good sport fishing over a period of years unless restrictions ae put in effect.

PROTECTING AN

(Juneau Empire)

For a good many years, more than quarter of a century, Wes Myers, of Ketchikan, veteran guide, fisherman, hunter and real sportsman, has been taking visiting sportsmen around in the Territory of Alaska in search of prize heads, handsome rainbow trout and all the other trophies the vast outdoors of the north offers. In those years Myers has become well ac- quainted with wild life in the Territory, and a great many of the people that come up here in search of it.
 Commenting on the mat ter while here with a big game party, the pioneer guide declared it his belief that one of the most import ant things to be done right now if Alaska is to remain a great fishing paradise is

Questions and Answers

Question: At re outbreak of an
imperia st war, WHIT should be the
role of the young worker or student
who is class conscious and knows
the capitalistic causes of war, but
who is not member of the Com
munist Party?-Young Worker.
Answer: Any worker who is class
conscious has it as his duty to his
class to start fighting against war
right now. BY participating in the
united front struggles against war
and fascism, he would help to
awaken the masses to the immin-
ence of the war danger. With suf-
ficient mass support we could beat
back the advance of fascism and
prevent the outbreak of another
imperialist war.
On the other hand, to sit back
and await the beginning of the i'm
perialist war. is to aid the capitalists
who are driving with all their might
towards another imperialist often
sive. There is nothing that plays
more into the hands of the impe-
rialists than passive attitude
now. Your place as class con-
scious worker is in the American
League Against War and Fascism.
This is broad united front COM
prised of all groups who sincerely
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-01-01

hate war and fascism. and who have
taken the one road that will defeat
these dangers-that Of militant
struggle.
In the event of the outbreak Of
war, all workers who are not in
contact with such united front
bodies should Immediately partici-
pate in the struggles they will wage
against our own imperialists. There
will be strikes and demonstrations
and other methods of struggles, and
under the guidance of the van
guard of the working class = the
Communist Party, the masses must
strive to turn these anti-war strug-
giles into a revolutionary civil war
for the overthrow of capitalism and
the setting up of the dictatorship
Of the proletariat.
Specifically the questioner viii
find the best answer to his question
in active work in the growing united
front Of struggle against war and
fascism. When he actively partici-
pates in anti-war struggles, he will
soon find that his place is in the
ranks Of the Communist Party
which represents the general and
lasting interests of the whole Of the
working class. AS a Communist he
will best be able to serve the In
terests Of his class.

Tammany Hall Thievery

Described by Reporter

Wall Street, the story Of Nurse
maids and busboys playing the mar
ket is pure fiction. The workers Of
New York City and especially the
class conscious workers did not feel
that indignation was a gauche and
juvenile emotion" On the contrary,
the irst cracks in the Tammany
lines became perceptible during the
great strikes in 1926 and 1927 in the
city. Indignation against the graft
ing and brutal police arm of
thieving and csllous City Hall ran
high and was far from being iuve-
nile.
What Mr.. Mackaye does not make
clear is that the onrush Of the
economic crisis. It's devastating ef-
feet among the workers and the
small taxpayers, the growing dis
content of large sections Of local
capitalists with the expensive
character Of Tammany city govern

factors underlying the Tigers loss
