HOUSE FOR S1,2OO
PLANNED byF.H.A.
Federal Program to Need
$50, 600, 900 in Materials,
CIaS States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
After several months of blueprint
drafting, Federal Housing Administra.
tion ofiicials said yesterday they had
devised plans for a small town"
house costing approximately $1,000.
The F. H. A. also is working on
plans for homes in the $4,000 to $1,000
price range, but these have not been
completed. The studies are being
made in an effort to make homes
available to low income groups.
At about the same time A. r. Clas,
director Of the P. w. A. housing di-
vision. reported the s13O.00o,oo0 Fed
eral low rent housing program would
use more building material and ac-
commodate more families than all the
private residential construction ac-
counted for in 257 large cities In 1884.
His report to Secretary 1ckes, which
came as the New Deal still sought to
determine whether to continue Fed
eral subsidiesSor rely on encouraging
private construction of homes for low
income groups, said 100000 worth
of building materials would be used in
the present program.
Employment to Thousands.
"These orders mean employment to
thousands of men in private industry"
Clas said. 1T can safely be stated
that p W. AS housing program, now
practically all in construction, has
opened the largest single market In
recent years to the building material
industry"
The P. w. A. homes will accommo-
date $4,000 families, Clas said, while
private industry built 20,950 living
units in 1884 In the 257 cities sur
veyed by the Labor Department.
In addition to such items as l20,-
100000 common brick, 2,5l0,000 square
feet of window glass, 1,400 900 barrels
of cement, Clas said sod and grass seed
would be bought to develop 26, 400 900
square feet Of lawn in the so projects.
FbQcIdl l1OuSlIls huIllIlllotI IdClOII OAA-
cials said the 81 200 house for which
plans had been devised would consist
of a bed room, bath room and COM
bination living room-dining room
kitchen. Detailed plans are being
withheld pending receipt Of actual
cost estimates from builders. but hous
ing experts said these were expected
to be around the 1900 figure.
Suitable for Small Towns.
Such home would be most suitable
for small towns. they said, where
lot might be purchased at a compare
lively low figure.
They figured that person earning
as little as $500 year might purchase
the house through long-term amor
tized financing With $3.50 for a down
payment, they said it might be bought
at monthly payments of less than SIS,
including insurance, taxes. loan serv-
icing costs and other expenses.
officials emphasized they were not
trying to Ak any standard" plan for
home building. but merely were ex-
perimenting to see what could be
accomplished in low-cost construction.

D. c. GREEKS MARK
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Program at Webster Statue
Will Follow Masses in
Churches.

Members of the two Greek Ortho-
dox Churches. st. Sophia's and Sts.
Constantine and Helen's, will meet
today at the statue Of Daniel Web
ster, Sixteenth street and Massachu-
sets avenue, in celebration of the in
dependence of Greece.
Masses in both churches will be-
gin at II O'Clock and the services at
the Webster statue are scheduled to
start shortly after noon. Buses will
take the congregations to the meeting
point, where the principal speaker
will be Achilles Catsonis. A wreath
will be laid on the statue of Webster.
After these ceremonies the two
congregations will gather at the Greek
Legation, where they will be received
by Demetrios Sicilianos, Minister from
Greece.
While Greek independence day is
actually listed on the calendar as
March IS, the ceremonies are usually
held on the nearest Sunday, to give
Greek patriots an entire day for re-
joicing.
According to Soterios Nicholson, this
Greek holiday has been celebrated all
over the world ever since Greece won
independence from Turkish rule, in
1923.
AS soon as the Greek revolution got
under way during the administration
OF President Monroe, Webster cham
pioned the independence of Greece,
according to Nicholson, who said
Webster spoke for hours in the House
in arousing the sympathetic interest
OF this country. Later, other Ameri-
cans Joined the cause, and on Decem-
Der 7, 1928, Webster introduced a
resolution appropriating money for an
agent or a commissioner to Greece.
Some time later, Representative
Dwight, in behalf Of 100 prominent
citizens Of Washington and George
town, introduced a resolution appro-
priating $4,000, 900 for foodstuffs, sup
plies and other necessaries to be ship
ped to Greece. Various States then
passed resolutions to recognize Greece.
Although none of the resolutions
in the House passed, q favorable i'm
preston was made on the American
people who responded with cash to
aid their fellows on the other side of
the world fighting for independence"
Nicholson said.
The Greek Minister will be the
principal speaker at the services in
the Church Of st. Sophia. Prof. A.
Kaltsas Of New York will deliver the
grafton at st. Sophia's, Eighth and L
streets.

Seaman's Escape From,

cause He DrO,gned.

The Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
saves 81 900 because Ng Lung is dead.
Ng Lung, a seaman, lost his life
more than two years ago in an at
tempt to escape from the steamer Pio-
neer and enter this country, in New
York.
The Labor Department fined Stand
ard Oil 81, 900 under the law requiring
a penalty of any vessel failing to de-
tain on board an alien seaman who is
excluded from entry. The fine was
paid under protest. and later the de-
partment reconSidered, in view of the
fact that Ng Lungs death had made
his escape rather fruitless, and had
certainly excluded him from this
country.
Meanwhile, though, the money had
been turned over to the Treasury, and
the Labor Department thereupon asked
Controller General McCarl If it would
be all right to remit.
McCarl said yesterday payment was
permissible.

At that time the justices also may
announce decisions on constitutionality
of the Guffey coal control and 1888
security acts. Many familiar with
court procedure thought. however,
these rulings would be delayed be-
cause of the short time that has
elapsed since arguments were COM
pleted.
All told, Is cases have been argued,
and perhaps more than half may be
decided tomorrow. 1t was generally
believed those disposed of would
include the Governments antitrust

organization of refiners set up to
regulate trade practices in the in

NEW LAW AIMED i
AT DOSING HORSES
Government to Give Race
Gamblers Last Chance
to End Evil.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A strong legal cudgel has been FASH
ioned by the Federal Government to
swing against race track gamblers who
dose horses with narcotics If State
racing commissions do not end that
evil.
Harry j. Anslinger, Federal COM
missioner Of narcotics, said yesterday
the Government would give the State
commissions one more chance to rid
the racing industry Of the practice be-
fore bringing out the legislation the
Treasury has drafted.
The proposed bill, regulatory in
character, would prohibit interstate
shipment of horses with bad records
for the use of narcotics"
Cleanup Policy Pledged.
Anslinger said the State racing COM
missions had indicated a desire to
play ball" with the Government and
at recent meeting in Florida pledged
themselves to cleanup policy.
At this meeting, Anslinger, as we'll
IL.
sat in. and approved a plan whereby
national committee would be formed
to deal with the problems. On it would
be representatives of horsemen, State
commissions and the Federal Govern
ment. Such a committee is now in
process of formation.
Anslinger approved a decision to
conduct saliva tests of winners of
every race. He said this practice was
now being carried on in a more or less
desultory manner, with only about
two OF the conventional seven win
ners Of a days races being so tested.
These tests are usually made of
early winners and officials said that
as result the seventh race was often
run with doped contestants.
Used for Retarding Animals.
The commissioner said that while
narcotics were commonly used 10
stimulate speed, there was q growing
practice of using this method to re-
tard the animals. Investigations are
/ being made to determine what mar
coticS are used for this.
Another decision reached at the
Florida meeting was that persons con-
victed of possession or use of mar
cotics would be severely dealt with by
the National Committee. This COM
mittee was given the power either to
deny licenses to such persons or ex-
pei them from the tracks.
Anshnger called the results of the
meeting 'the biggest thing done in
racing since the crusade against mar
cotics began three years ago"
He said the practice had been re-
duced greatly in virtually all racing
States, and that the Federal Govern
ment would prosecute vigorously all
cases reported by State commissions.
