York recently about his desire to have
o housing program which will enable
our people to live under decent con-
ditions. You will recall that he stated
that his administration would find @
way to wipe out slums, and to pro-
vide proper housing for those families
that now are unable, by reason of
their small incomes, to live decently.
! have told you that In my opinion
the program of the Public Works Ad.
nainistration, measured by its a.
complishments, merits the confidence
and continued support Of the people.
I have expressed my own personal
opinion that it Is for the best inter-
ests Of the country that p. w. A. be
continued.
II P. W. A. Is to be made o perma-
nent agency Of our Government, It
goes without saying that the success
Of any future program VIII depend
upon the patriotism Of our citizens
and the degree Of disinterested CO.
operation between the Federal Gov
ernment, the States and the political
subdivisions Of the States. To date
we have made q great record. Now
We must consolidate our gains. On
the basis Of experience. we must pre-
pare ourselves for the future. To
do this we must extend our vision be-
yond today, or even tomorrow, end
into the years Of destiny that lie
ahead.
Evening star., 1936-12-08

believe should be accepted as our guide
for the future.
Doubts Effect Questioned.
I am thoroughly convinced that the
soundest possible public policy at q
time Of economic depression is the
prompt undertaking Of q far-hung
program of substantial public works.
I do not believe that any fair critic
will now question the widespread and
substantial effect Of our public works
program In. helping to stop the de-
preston, IN helping to turn the tide
and In helping the country to point
back toward recovery and prosperity.
I am firmly convinced that If we had
. program Of public works ready to
embark upon when this administra-
ton came into power in March, 1888,
and II Congress had promptly appro-
priated, not three billions Of dollars,
but q much larger sum with which to
undertake that program, we would
have experienced recovery much
earlier and In greater volume than we
have had 1t.
believe that the Public Works Ad-
ministration should be made q per-
manent agency Of Government. As
you may perhaps know, the Federal
Emergency Administration Of Public
Works will expire by limitation Of law
on June 80 next. On that date many
projects will be uncompleted. Neces-
sarily o law should be passed at least
giving p. w. A. time within which to
complete the task that it has already
undertaken.
But for my part. am hoping for
more than this. Even II the necessity
for . continuation of building on the
present scale no longer exists, we
must think of the future. There is no
assurance, based upon the past, that
We will not find ourselves in another
depression in the years to come. We
hope that this will not be the case,
but probably there exists in the hearts
Of all Of us q lurking fear that,
after all. this hope is just hope. II
there should be another depression
we must not be unprepared as we were
when the last one struck us. As an
irreducible minimum we should main
tain public works general staff. We
should have a reservoir of well-con-
sidered. carefully planned projects,
work on which could be undertaken as
soon as the necessity arose and money
was made available for them.
Now, as to the immediate future Of
public works. and here also I am ex-
pressing only my personal views: I
believe that it will be necessary to
round out and complete our program
by making allocations for limited ad-
ditional projects. We are working

people, but those who are in public
life, that help ought to be related to
need. It would be Q major misfortune
II public works should ever degenerate
into pork barrel" Better no pub
lib works program at all than such o
result. To prevent this all Of us must
be alert to protect the Federal funds
from those who would grab them, re-
gardless Of the needs Of their com.
munity.
Low-rent housing projects fall into
q somewhat different category than
the usual run Of public works projects.
Housing Is the most vital social chal-
lenge before us today. It Is o problem
which profoundly affects our cities
and the lives Of our people. It Is an
issue that Is squarely up to the urban
communities Of this country. p. w.
A., with its Unconstitutional program
Of some so projects. has made q start.
The first Of these Is now operating In
Atlanta, Ga. More are getting ready
to open their doors, and we expect to
have the entire lot in operation next
year.
To the subject Of housing we can
now bring the accumulated experience
Of several years operation Of P. w.
AS Housing Division. We may now
consider the future of housing as q
program to be improved, modified and
perfected against the recovery back
ground OF 1887, and not the depres-
sion background Of 1888. Whether
any particular municipality Is to ben
eft by any present or future housing
program, in my opinion, will depend
on the willingness Of that municipal
ity to accept responsibility and to act
Responsibility on Municipalities.
The Federal Government was willing
to blaze the way, but the time has
come when municipal governments
must realize that the chief RESPONSE
bility is their own, q responsibility,
however. which should be shared by
the States and even by private citi-
zens. The Federal Government alone
cannot continue to carry the load.
But it should be willing to make loans
and grants to cities to aid in low-cost
housing. The grants should be gen.
erous and the loans at low interest
rates.
The Wagner -Ellenbogen housing bill,
passed last year by the Senate, def
nitely recognizes housing as a mu-
nicipal responsibility. The Public
Works Administration supported that
bill. Senator Wagner recently de-
clared that he would again introduce
q similar bill, and has expressed the
belief that this year it will be passed
by the Congress. 1t is probably not
necessary to call your attention to
what President Roosevelt said in New
Evening star., 1936-12-08

with that end IN view. However. I
believe that p. w. A. should immc-
diately set about to retrench all along
the line. I am not in favor Of ap-
proving projects for States or COM
munities to which . large measure Of
prosperity has already returned. I
am unwilling to approve the expendi-
ture Of more Federal money in sec.
tions that are as prosperous as they
ever have been In the past; or even
more prosperous.
Moreover, 7 do not believe that our
grants ought uniformly to be 46 per
cent or any other fixed percentage
Of the cost Of q project. We ought
to inquire painstakingly into the
financial ability Of the local commu-
nifty and II we find that local re-
sources are such that the project ap-
piled for can be built with q grant
Of less than IS per cent from the Fed
eral Government, then we ought to
give only such q grant as Is needed.
My idea Is that while making our
maximum grant 45 per cent, or even
less, we ought to grant only what
the local community actually requires,
be that 80 per cent or 20 per cent or
10 per cent. In view Of the fact that
interest rates are much lower than
when the public works program was
inaugurated, 1t may well be that it
would be proper for US to lower our
rates correspondingly. Especially
might 1t be proper to decrease our
interest rates II our grants are re-
duced.
There Is another public function
which P. w. A. might properly per-
form. Take the case of municipality
where the banks are insisting upon an
unreasonably high interest rate as a
condition precedent to floating q bond
issue for q school or Q sewage sys-
tenn. or some other needed improve
ment. In such an instance p. w. A.
might very well offer to take the
bonds of that municipality at q rea-
sonable rate and thus prevent 1t from
being bludgeoned into paying an exor-
bitant rate Of interest.
Wide Powers Favored.
It will be realized at once that such
policies as I have suggested would
mean that wide discretionary powers
should be lodged in the administrator
of public works. It can be seen that
1t would be no easy task to resist the
insistence on the part Of one city that
it should be given a 45 per cent grant
on project merely because another
city had been so favored, even though
the first city was In so much sounder
an economic condition that it did not
need 50 much help. One important
task will be to educate, not only the

serve the Presidents birthday ball next Thursday, January 30.
 The bone-setter, one Jacob Heine, made the first accurate report on infantile paralysis in 1840. Nobody paid much attention to it, and still less notice was taken of the Amer ican, Charles Fayette Taylor, who designed exercising machines and worked out system of muscle building for victims of the disease in the 1860's. It was not until an in- fantile paralysis epidemic broke out in Sweden in the sos, followed by others almost annually until the present day, that national and in ternational notice was taken of the disease.
 This attention has been focused in the United States during the last two years and has reached a climax in a movement explained by some of the nations greatest scientists and philanthropists Banded together, they now propose to wipe the disease from the face of the earth" and express hope that it will be outlawed as major menace before it's Tooth birthday anniversary in this country in 1940

 Splendid flying weather was en- countered soon after leaving Ju- neau, the takeoff here being in a frosty fog, and the fliers did not go to Prince George or Vancouver but went direct to Seattle in the big ten-place Lockheed Electra.
 Crosson and Hall are enroute to Burbank, Cal, where the plane will be given an overhaul.

 The advantages of two-way radio in the efficient oper- ation of aircraft was demonstrated by Pilots Joe Crosson and Walter Hall, at the controls of the Electra to the States, and Bob Ellis, local PA representative.
 When the two-motored transport plane left the Juneau airport at 10:10 o'clock yesterday morning in a heavy fog, weather reports from Seattle read moderate fog," but reports from Prince George indicated favor able conditions at that point, so Pilots Crosson and Hall intended to fly above intervening unfavorable to the later airport.
