 And now how much should we pay? If we rent, we should not pay over 20 per cent of our income; if our family life is simple and our expenditures, other than the usual living expenses. are small, we might stretch point and pay 25 per cent. And if we buy, we should not pay more than a sum equal to two and one-half times our annual income. On this basis under the long term amortization plan instituted by the house can be acquired by monthly Federal Housing Administration the payments over a period of years. In most cases such payments are less than the rent would be on a house of similar accommodations.

Can I afford to buy a home? Is it better to rent or buy? How much can I pay?
 There are two schools of thought on owning property - one says; None but the wealthy can afford to own his own home" The other is expressed in the widespread Own Your Own Home" campaigns, which urge everyone to buy house.
 As is usually the case with flat dictims and slogans, neither is wholly correct. Many who are in the very small income class cannot only afford to own their own homes but are better off financially, so- cially, and spiritually for SO doing. It depends largely on the business of the bread winner, the makeup of the family, and the locale
 If the family income is derived from steady job that seems perm anent, if the family interests are centered in the locality, and if the neighbrohood is a reasonably stable one. then the wise thing to do is to buy.
 On the other hand, if the income is uncertain, the possibility of hav-

This house in Muncie, Ind, was designed to fit the needs of a small family. Although the rooms are fairly small, they are arranged to give a maxi mum of floor and wall space. Houck & Hamilton designed the house, which was appraised by the Federal Housing Adminis- tration's valuation department at $4,S50. The total value of the property, including the land, garage, and landscaping. was placed at $6,750. The kitchen is placed so that it is set off from the rest of the house, and the odor of cooking does not per- meate the other rooms. The dining room has a built-in cor ner cupboard, and there are four large closets. The second floor may be finished at a later date, if the owner desires.

Nine Texans Defrauded
Government, Is Charge

Fort Worth, Texas (AFLNS)-A
federal grand jury here indicted nine
men, charging conspiracy to defraud
the government by using inferior pipe
and lumber and falsifying payrolls in
constructing Dalworthington Gardens,
a federal subsistence homestead near
Arlington, Texas. Two of the men
were the architect and contractor of
the project. The others were en-
ployes.
Dalworthington Gardens was begun
to help provide homes for men who
already had incomes. Eighty houses
were built and offered for sale with
from three to seven acres each. The
plot would be used by the owner to
increase his income. According to the
plan the houses We're to be purchased
at cost with interest at per cent on
the deferred payments running over
80 years.

no information that anything but
some disturbance at the picket line
would occur"

Scoops u. S. With Wendell

Trenton, N. j. (ILNS)-The Tren-

nation with the story of how Paul H.

arrested on the strength of "con-

Mrs. Marion c. MacRobert, able
editor of the Labor News, received a
tip on the story, and after confirm

March 27.
The News told how Wendell, once a
politician in Trenton and son of a
minister, was held at Mount Holly as
the result of confessing that he kid

said, died while in his possession.
Later Wendell said he had been

They had been completely beaten on

George NJ. Harrison, Back From Trip Abroad
Tells of Huge Building Programs in Holland
and England Finds European Labor i'm Ad-
vance of II. S. on Social Security.

Washington, ID. G. (ILNS) Work
ers in Europe are far below our eco
nomic standards, but they are in
advance of America in questions con-
cerning social justice legislation,
George NJ Harrison, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, said
in an address from Washington over
the Columbia Broadcasting System
Harrison, who had just returned
from Europe where he represented
the United States on the governing
board of the International Labor
Office, discussed labor conditions in
Europe. After his address, |. M.
Ornburn, secretary treasurer of the
union label trades department,
American Federation of Labor, spoke
on the Importance of the union label
In my survey of conditions |
found that almost universally Euro
pean workers enjoy protection against
unemployment, sickness, invalidity,
and old age" Harrison said.
Railways State-Owned
What struck me most singularly," !"
he continued, was the manner in
which they have dealt with the rail-
road problem OF all the countries
of Europe, there are only two where
the railroads are privately operated,
and this condition has developed be-
cause of long and unsatisfactory ex-
perience they had with private owner
ship and operation. On the state
owned railways the employees are civil
servants and they have permanent
status and are not subject to peiiodi-
cal unemployment because of reces-
sions in business as we experience in
this country They are granted old
age annuities and their conditions of
employment are comparable with
those in our country, although | find
in that field, as in industry generally,
that their wages are relatively lower
than in this country.
Perhaps one other question would
be of interest to my audience; | know
it struck me most forcefully, and that
was the large housing program which
has been and is being carried on in
Holland. There was housing pro-
gram inaugurated at the conclusion
of the World War to relieve unem-
ployment; in order to develop a pro
gram that promised success the ma
tional government passed legislation
providing for the organization of
voluntary building and loan societies.

Columbus, Ohio.-Less than a
year ago, Secretary Thomas L. Dom
nelly, of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, joined with the other officers
of the State Federation in register
ing the Ohio branch of the Workers
Education Bureau in the state. This
affirmative action has been followed
by recent decision of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor to inaugurate a
statewide program of workers educa-
ton, with the cooperation of the
regional director of the Workers
Education Bureau, DR.. Paul l.. Vogt,
whose headquarters are at present in
Detroit. At recent meeting of the
executive board of the Ohio State
Federation, held here in Columbus,
the initial appropriation of $500 was
made toward the development of this
work and tentative program of in
label exhibits was agreed upon. DR..
Vogt will spend part of his time in
the next two months in Ohio direct
ing this program and cooperating
with the State Federation of Labor
and it's affiliated central bodies and
local unions.
This interest on the part of the
Il a - 7 Tsl. l.,+,o
back to an earlier association with
the bureau when DR.. Lloyd Crosgrave
was detailed to Ohio to organize a
travelling circuit a decade ago, among
a number of Ohio cities such as Day
ton, Springfield, and Toledo. During
his stay in Ohio, DR.. Crosgrave serv-
ed as the director of workers educa-
ton for the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, and created a considerable
measure of interest in the possibilities
of this work among the leaders as
well as the rank and file in the Ohio
labor movement. On the basis of this
earlier experience and the widespread
need at the present time it is conf
IDENTIFY anticipated that this plan will
produce some significant results.
Reporting progress in the arrang-
ing of program for the Ohio educa-
tional campaign, DR.. Vogt, in a com
munication to the Workers Education
Bureau, speaks briefly of the out
come of a conference held on March
II, in the office of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, at which rec
ommendation was adopted for the
holding of series of institutes dur
ing the months of April, May and
June, 1886; places and dates to be
announced later.
1t was also suggested at this meet
ing that a series of radio programs
be given under the auspices of the
State Federation of Labor, co-operat-
ing with the Workers Education Bu-
reau.

over a period Of SO years AS the
result of this program the slums were
demolished and housing facilities
were provided for thousands of fami-
lies.
In Amsterdam, Holland, worker

sonal inspection of the homes of a
number of the workers that if the
head of the family is over 65 years of
age he gets a special reduction of 30
per cent in the fixed scale of rentals
The homes have every modern con-
venience, including radios with a cen
tralized installation, and all that IS
necessary is to plug in and get a
program.
Similar Program in England
England has undertaken a similar
program and | was given to under
stand from people with whom / dis
cussed this question, who ought to
know, that the housing program in
that country has had more to do with
the revival of business than any other
thing they have undertaken. Unem-
ployment continues to be bad but
they are making progress in meeting
that problem.
Conditions are now badly dis
turbed because of recent complica-
tions growing out of the action of
Chancellor Hitler in Germany and
should not undertake to forecast
what may develop in that direction. .
In ending his talk, Harrison said:
q gained the definite impression
that the standards of the workers in
Europe are considerably lower than
they are in this country, and il my
opinion we should exercise due dill
gence in safeguarding our standards.
If you see a product in our country
which carries the union label you will
know it was manufactured or pro-
duced here under American standards
and that is better guarantee that
the workers who manufactured that
product are working under more per-
feet conditions of unemployment than
if the product is foreign made"

Tommy Armour's tournament record
Of 273 at Milwaukee in 1929.
He was just 10 strokes better than
par figures for the rugged layout, and
his big round established new COM
petitive course mark.
Whenever Guldahl's name has been
mentioned since that day in 1888 at
the North Shore Country Club course,
1t has been recalled that he missed q
4-foot putt on the final green, making
Johnny Goodman of Omaha the
champion by single stroke.
His total was three strokes under
the 277 which gave Roy Mangrum Of
Dayton, Ohio, a red-hot pace setter
for two days, second place. After
rounds of 66 and 81 Mangrum faltered
to a IA on the third round. He fin
ished with 10.
