Lower building costs. c growing scarcity of small apartment houses in most large cities, and . tendency toward rental increase, are three of the factors that indicate Q general revival in the construction industry, according to Joseph P. Day, in the New York Times. Most building materials, he said, are quoted ct lower costs, and mortgage money is easier to get and ct lower interest rates than Q year ego. Improve inent In construction has been con- fined largely to private dwellings. Real improvement, he said, will come when the private investor feels that the time is ripe to start biz building operations.

will 70 to the U. S. supreme court next fall for final determination Of constitutionality of the s2oo,ooo,OOO program.
 rulings on the case:
 1, That the companies had Q right to test constitutionality Of the pro' gram. ..
 D. That Congress had Q conStitu- tional right to delegate powers to President Roosevelt, and then to Ickes, to finance municipal power projects.
 3. That Ickes acted legally in car" rying out mandates of Congress in It's authorizing legislation.
 Although the district circuit court of appeals had ruled that Q rural resettiement project in New Jersey was unconstitutional under the $4,. GOO 0,OOO,000 work.relief program, Wheat decided municipal power projects did not come under the tribunals ruling.
 We have in the present cases grants or loans to municipalities to carry out public works projects, Wheat said. Tt has not been are gued that the relief of unemploy- ment Is an unconstitutional use Of funds as to the United States"
 Affects Several States
 The decision directly affected 10 PWA-financed municipal power projects in Alabama, Iowa, Oklaho- ma and Texas. It was important, however, because of the fight power interests have been making against the New Deals policy of using fed- eral work-relief money to finance publicly-owned electricity systems.
 Newton D. Baker, secretary of war under President Wilson was chief counsel for the four utility compan- ies, in the case. Dean Acheson, ex. New Deal under-secreta of treas ury, was his first assistant.

presidential nominee to cement Q gop-democratic coalition has been chilled by 6 freezing reception in the Landon headquarters.
 The challenge to LandonB re. publican reguarity raised Q hot and unquestionable issue today. The Kansas governor has been placed on the defensive by the charge that he cooperated too eagerly with the New Deal in work relief projects. But his supporters may reutrn to the atr tack with Q review of Borah's record.
 Batting Averages
 4 disinterested compilation of senatorial votes on 17 key Roosevelt measures presented to congress in i003-34-36 shows that Borah voted for Il and against 6 for Q New Deal batting average of .647. Senator Charles McNary of oregon, Q dark horse presidential possibility, voted with the New Deal 9 times and times against for an average of .O63. Senator L. J. Dickinson of Iowa, has Q record of s to II for Q .3lo average.
 But if the nomination Is to be de- cided on that question the collver1- ton must give serious considerG.. ton to Senator Vandenberg as well as to Knox. Not only has he led the i036 senatorial attack on the New Deal, but in lo33-34.36 he voted for only three New Deal bills ana against IA. His average B .l76, which In this league is almost perfect. ..
 Casualties in the free-for-all political battle now under way can. not be counted until the presidential roll Is called next week. But there continues to be Q steady trickle Of new delegate votes to the Landon banner.

(Continued from Page i.) that he had taken any part in the crime.
 Residence Here Proven
 It was the contention of the ac. cused that he was living In MaSsa. chusetts at the time of the crime. States Attorney Lawrence Lewis this morning, however, put Edward Hamel of this city on the stand, and the ietter testified that Burns was living in one of his apartments late in February. After Judge Dick. enSon had found Burns guilty, the states attorney declared: '"This is Q serious crime, and this is the type of crime that has to Dc stopped. The state recommends . cevere states prison sentence.
 Most Damaging Evidence
 Judge Dickenson declared that the most damaging evidence against Burns was the testimony of Fred Bovino, who has pleaded guilty to participation in the crime, and who declared yesterday that Burns was ono of the holdup group.
 Another youth, John Sharon, has also pleaded guilty, while the alleged fourth member of the gang. Patsy Hcalo, has pleaded not guilty and elected trial by jury.
 Burns record, aS read by MT. Lewis, showed c number of coavic- tons for breaking and entering, most Of them in Hartford and East Hartford. His record dates back over . period of years.
 Owner Described Robbery
 Daly, the station attendant who was assaulted in the holdup, said that the four youths drove into the gas station on February 22 ct about c o'clock and asked for fuse. Later they asked for two gallons of gas, and started to search through their pockets, apparently for money to pay for 1t. The last thing he re membered, Daly said, was seeing Burns walk toward him. He came to half hour later, and found that he had been slugged about the Jaw and lips

LandArs on Flrat BalIot

Cleveland, June b-(UP)- --Lan- don- president leaders, gathered here for their first major pre-con- vention conference, predicted today the governors nomination on the first ballot. They said the stop- Landon movement would collapse. John D. M. Hamilton, Governor Ali M. Landon's campaign manager, de- tended the governor against the charge that he was at heart Q New Dealer. But Hamilton refused to make c direct attack on Senator William D. Borah, who will leave Washington tomorrow night to lead the anti-Landon movement on the field here. Kansas delegates to the convention went into c caucus to map last-minute strategy which they were certain would clinch the nomination for Landon.
 Return Co Attack
 Supporters of Borah and Frank Knox meantime prepared to return to the attack begun last night when they challenged Landon's republl- canism on the grounds that he had co-operated with the New Deal. Hamilton ridlculed the effort to por- tray the governor as Q New Dealer. 'If I had time, I could take the Bible and with asterisks and onnis- slons make the devil saint.

Anxious citizens read yelled threats into pronouncements of communist organs and leaders, who are part of the government coalition though the communists are not represented in the cabinet.
 To Feed Paris Hungry
 Communists announced that they had worked out plans to feed Paris in event the epidemic of strikes crippled normal transport. It was significant of the situation that this morning only the newspapers at the extreme ends of the political scheme were published = the Royalist Action Francaise, The Communist Humans ite and The Socialist Populaire. Threat of Q food shortage was re- moved for the moment at least. Truck drivers, their demands for higher pay concered, worked throughout the night at the cen- trals markets moving food. Seven hundred butchers of the city's larg- est abbott struck and, standing massed about tfie slaughtering tables, prevented the butchering of 5000 animals needed daily. The central markets, now functioning normally, were under heavy police guard.
 Police at City Gates
 Police were at the city gates also, to prevent strikers from ofstructing the incoming farmers carts laden with vegetables.
 So far the strikes have been aHnics able ones in all cases. No disorder at all has been reported.
 But feeling was embittered by the breaking off of negotiations between employers and workers in the metal lurgical industry, most important of all those affected by the hundreds of "siege" strikes in which wrokers are occupying the plans, camping on the floors and receiving food from families and friends.
 Thirty-five thousand metal work. CTS who had resumed work walked out again as @ protest against the breaking of relations.
 Five new strikes have started in the last 24 hours for every one settled.
