Mr.. White stated that this ad-

It Is succeeding and great amount
of improvements have resulted He
stressed two plans, the first, Title
No. /, being for repairs and mod
ernization of buildings. which in
cludes loans up to $1,000. Title No.
2, is for greater loans and is adapt
ed for new construction.
This housing plan is to put peo-
pie to work, to increase building
activities and purchases of mater
ial, and Mr.. White stated that in
other cities where 1t Is now oper-
ating it Is accomplishing a great
deal along this line.
He stated that banks are glad to
make loans for building purposes,
insofar as loans are safe and not
beyond. In this plan the govern
ment insures these loans up to 20
percent of the total, and thus are
made safe for the banker. Title No.
/, Is available to property owners
In sums up to $1,000, and the mon
ey loaned Is to be used for improve
ments on homes, store fronts in
dustrial structures, farm build
ings, and also includes the pur-
chase of electric refrigerators and
stoves. This loan Is payable in five
years, and Is divided into monthly
payments for people with weekly
incomes and seasonal payments
for farmerh. A borrowers income
must be five times as great as the
amount of his loan. The rate Of In
terest varies, however. on this
plan Of loan It is S. per 500 on
one-year note. Notes may be made
for any number OF months, from
one to five years.
Both banks in this city have
qualified to issue loans under this
plan, which ends January LIST,

surance plan is concerned. These
loans carry the on or before priv

Large Group
Enjoys Stag
Splendid Program Presented At
New Community Club Rooms
Thursday

Members of the Community Club
and several friends enjoyed a stag
party last Thursday evening. This
special meeting was called to Of
ficially open the new club rooms,
and to give all Of the men of the
community an opportunity to in
spect the wonderful improvements
made.
In calling the meeting to order,
President Scott stated that 5000
had been spent for the repairs by
the club. This money was used for
the purchase of hardwood flooring
and paint; all other materials were
taken from the old partitions. The
work was done by men chosen
from the relief rolls.
During the past year the total
amount OF rent collected was $500.
This year. said Mr.. Scott, $2O5 in
rent had already been pledged. He
invited those who did not belong
to the club to become members at
once, stating that the dues for the
year were $500, but could be paid
$3.50 on January LIST, and $3.50 on
July LIST.
Rev. L. e. Kempton was called,
as a representative Of the young
men, to give a talk. He congratu-
lated Mr.. Scott and the members
of the club on the excellent i'm
provement, and said the young
men like it. His ideas, no doubt,
coincide with those of the other
young men interested and 1t is pre-
dicted that many will join the
club very soon.
DIR. j. A. Dubois, next speaker on
the program, said 1t was high time
the young men took an important
part in the work of the club. He
stated that the older folk being
more conservative, needed the en-
thusiam, vitality and generosity
OF the younger men in this work.
His talk was greatly enjoyed.
Following this the program was
turned over to representatives OF
the Deere Weber Co., who were in
troduced to the audience. J. Bevin,
father of the famous football play
ers OF the Minnesota team this
year, was among the group. He
told several enjoyable football stor-
les. The balance OF the program
was given over to moving pictuses.
showing the manufacture Of farm
tractors and implements. These pic
lures were interesting and educa-
tiona1.
The balance OF the evening was
spent in playing cards, and a pleas
ant time was enjoyed. This meeting
was largely attended.

NEW NRA BOARD
STRENGTHENS
CODE RULE

President Roosevelt's sudden
move in appointing a new NRA
board with Donald Richberg as
acting chairman and a member
ship which gives organized labor
a strong representation is taken
in Administration circles to mean
that the New Deal intends not
only to extend NRA for two years
from June 16, but to revive its
vitality, which has waned almost
to the point of extinction in the
last three months.
President Roosevelt, it is report
ed, has felt the need of better
feeling with organized labor, with
which he has been somewhat es-
tranged lately.
Marked Goodness
His firm stand against the
American Federation of Labor in
the matter of prevailing wages"
on the proposed public work-relief
projects is responsible for marked
GOODNESS between the White House
and labor leaders.
However, the GOODNESS disap-
peared yesterday afternoon when
he talked with President Green
OF the A. F.. of L. and John Lewis,
of the United Mine Workers, who
went away from the White House
rather gleeful over the fact that
the President supported them in
their desire to retain the collec-
tive bargaining feature of NRA-
plus certain other elements de-
sired by labor.
Not only has the President
warmed labor's heart by the
NRA appointment, but it is re-
ported today at the White House
that a large portion of industry
is pleased with the fact that the
President intends to put new life
into the NRA.
Prepared to Help
Industry reports that it wants
codes of fair play, wants decent
hours and is prepared to help
the President GUST the "chiSeller"
and the sweat shop"
Reports from the NRA to Ad-
ministration leaders indicate that
the NRA organization has been
"dying from the inside"
This has been due, it is ex-
planned, to the lack Of decisive
leadership and possibly to an
assumed indifference to NRA on
the part of the Administration.
This now is declared to be a
false assumption.
Since labor has made no crit
icism of Mr.. Richberg's elevation
as NRA chief it appeared the
unions have buried the hatchet
against him inasmuch as the
President appointed Philip Muir
ray, vice president of the United
Mine Workers of America, an<
gave labor equal representation
with industry on the recover,
board. The White House stated
"The President expects that
the NRA will carry on its pres.
ent duties vigorously and ef.
fectively."

the final move, it is Low up to Italy" >"
The adviser explained that Halle
Selassie held no conferences yester-
dya or today because there was moth
ing to do except to reconfirm recon-
mendations of the League Of Nations
five-power committee for settlement
of the Italo- Ethiopian conflict, SINH
lar to the previous Paris terms.

should know our position-no Italian
protectorate or special privileges, nc
territorial concession to Italy except
cash, no diminution of our sovereignty
or independence and no foreign over
lordship of any kind" he told the AS
sociated Press.
Italy was understood in informed
quarters to be pressing the Emperor
for Italian military occupation Of
Ethiopia as the only means of inSur-
ing fulflllment Of any future agree
ments between the two countries.
Halle SelaSsie has rejected indig-
nantly this suggestion as a threat tC
Ethiopia's sovereignty.
Five thousand Ethiopian warriors
staged a patriotic demonstration be-
fore the imperial palace today, ap-
pealing to the King of Kings for rife:
and urging him to declare war.
Halle Selassie pacified them by as
serting that only bullies made war
while strong men made peace.
Keep your powder dry, your hearts
resolute and your courage high until
call you," he told the warriors.
