ID EASON was that Roosevelt
AZ had stepped in and quietly
asked him to lay off. The Presi-
dent explained that he wanted a
complete study of the housing
situation made in order to CO.
ordinate different housing activi-
ties of the government-PWA,
Resettlement, Federal Housing
Administration.
Placed in charge of this study
was Peter Grimm, New York
real estate operator, at that
time an assistant to young
Henry Morgenthau in the Treas
ury.
But Grimm didn't fit, either in
the Treasury or in co-crdinating
housing.
THEN, once again, the Presi-
= dent stepped in. Once again
he intimated that he didn't want
the Wagner bill introduced imme-
diately. He wanted nothing which
would prolong the session.
So amiable Bob wagner waited.
Meanwhile some of his colleagues
got impatient. Schwellenbach,
fortnight Senator from Washing
ton, had planned a housing bill,
but held it out in Difference to
Wagner. Congressman Elleilbogen
of Pittsburgh also had drafted a
bill, but marked time waiting for
Wagner.
Finally Wagner decided to go
ahead without presidential bless
ing. But with Congress heading
for adjournment before the June
conventions, it is doubtful if any
housing bill could pass.

NEA Service Special Correspondent
r OGAN, N. NJ, April g.
Completing a 1500-mile
tour of the Dust Bowl of
the Southwest, I have seen
the March lion shaking his
name over that stricken
area in the first of what
may be worse dust storms
than the ones which
shocked the country last
year.
From Amarillo, Tex, westward
to Clovis, N. NJ, then northward
into Colorado, eastward again
into Kansas, and down through
the Texas and Oklahoma Pam
handle, an area larger than all
New England, we have seen a
stage set for tragedy. Within five
days three dust storms were en-
countered.
The land throughout the Dust
Bowl is in just the right condi-
ton to blow away. Frozen hard
throughout the rainless winter, it
has now thawed out and pulver-
lied, fine as face powder.
The rising March winds have
already begun to sweep it away,
and there is every reason to ex-
pect more disastrous dust storms
than those of 1934-35. Already
the havoc of this springs dust
ers' is pitifully evident.
To drive through this area to-
day is like moving up to the front
line on battlefield. Here is the
skeleton of horse; there one of
a COW; there a dilapidated wind
mill, an abandoned cultivator, a
reaper, half-buried in sand and
falling to pieces.
Here are fences buried in DOW
derry dunes, and there a deserted
and disintegrating farmhouse.
The bitches along the highways
are filled with rippled silt. It
rises in choking clouds with the
slightest breeze.
TT is like another world, some
l. strange deserted planet in an
H. G. Wells fantasy. 1t is unbe-
llevably barren. No trees, except
an occasional dead one stretching
gaunt arms above a SCARED, sere
trunk. No grass or shrubs except
an occasional tumhle-weed rolling
crafty across the plain. No
longer can you see the miles of
waving golden grain that used to
be-
A few gasping farmers cling to
their homes and their acres.
Around Clovis, N. NJ, the young
green wheat stands a couple OF
inches high. The farmers have
done what they could.
But now they stand about tn
village stores waiting, apprehen-
sively watching the skies for the
dark clouds in the north which
show that the dust is flying again.
One weatherbeaten old man at
Clovis told me: 1--we plowed wide
burrows across my fields, as the
government said. If that doesn't
work, and the dust gets at us
again like it did last year, I lose
a whole square mile of wheat.
I'm just here holding my hands
and waiting. If we get it down

While today's hand is a little

just stop and do a little thinking
before carelessly playing to that
first trick.
When East opens the six of

East may have elected to lead
