Worry Cause of
 Stomach Ulcers

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Aug. IT. Stomach ulcers can be the result of worry, it was reported here at the convention of the American Castro Astrological Society. Said Dr. Kenneth T. Tiilotson of the Massa- chusetts General Hospital, Boston:
 You can really think yourself into stomach ulcers, for constant thought on any subject restricts the body's natural processes
 Then stated Dr. Heinrich Neche- les of the Chicago:
 Worry is causing peptic ulcers both among millionaires and un- employed. This type of ulcer is found in high-strung people, re- gardless of their possessions or lack of them"

 Willis was in his early 40's when he and Senator Glass drafted the Federal Reserve Act. He became secretary of the Reserve Board and later director of research, and con- tinued as consulting economist un- til the time of his death.
 Early in the boards existence, he detected and denounced the in- creased sway of the Treasury De- partment over Federal Reserve pol icies Senator Glass similarly came to be a critic of this tendency and sought to end it with the banking act of 1885 by removing the Secre- tary of the Treasury from ex-of- ficio membership on the Reserve Board.

MILITANT FOE OF NEW DEAL
 PASSES AWAY
Dr. H. Parker Wilson Miss. ed No Opportunity to
 Give Warning
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ion the day Senator Robinson, soldier of the New Deal, was buried in Little Rock Ark, there died in Oak Bluffs, Mass one of the most militant foes of the New Deal, Dr. H. Parker Willis.
 This professor of banking at Col urnbia University took one deep sniff of the New Deal early in its eX- istence and thought it bad. From then on he scarcely missed an op- portunity of slashing at it witt pen and tongue.
 fs But Willis was no simple para grapher and the result was that his writings and preachings seldom found their way to the common fireside. He was one of the few who gave warning in advance of the 1929 debacle. He was equally ve- hement in denouncing New Dea theories for overcoming problems o1 the depression.
 TREASURY FOE

Next to Becontree, the little gar
den city of Welwyn, likewise on
London's fringes, is perhaps its
most famous satellite.
For almost 100 years from the
date when the subject was first
mentioned in Parliament, in 1885
England made little progress in
clearing her slumS. Although
Liverpool was pioneer among the
great cities in the demolition of
insanitary properties and the re-
housing of Slum-area populations
in blocks of brick tenementS, first
launching this program in 1859,
as late as 1880 a university settle
ment group reported three bed
rooms in one slum section occupied
by six adults and five children,
several instances in which two
bedrooms were occupied by from
nine to ten persons, and one room
occupied by family of five adults
and one child.
The Washington times., 1937-01-29
Decency Vital

While in the United States in
the fall Of 1884. the same au
th0rity said, speaking before a
public gathering in Cincinnati:
1--WE have come to the con-
clusion that it is a necessary
ingredient, if you like. in
civilization, that we should pro-
vide for all our families a
dwelling not below a certain
minimum standard of decency
and comfort, and that we
should do this irrespective Of
any other consideration.
It know that it is sometimes
said that it is the dirty tenant
who makes the slum. I would
like to ask those who say that
to try the experiment Of living
in a family in one room, cook
ing, washing, ironing, sleeping
all in one room, and I venture
to say that not many Of them
would come out at the end
clean or tidy from it. We find
as a matter of experience that
when we do clear the slumS, of
the families living in them a big
proportion which may vary from
80 up to 95 per cent will make
good and become decent tenants.
There are two cases in which
a subsidy is required. The first
is those areas in which we have
been acquiring slums and con-
cerning which we take the view
that we cannot either resell the

Once Dense Woods

It's area is more than 2,77O
acres, or about the size of the
land acquired by the washington
Government for population of
5000 in the "TugwelltoWn" project
at Greenbelt, Md. In Becontree,
with a population of 10000,
there is of course no comparable
area of land around the commun-
ity proper, shutting it off from
commercial and industrial en-
croachment. This protection has
been provided IN part by an open
belt of land on the western and
southern sides.
Prior to its development as o
satellite city, Becontree - which
has become the largest housing
estate in the world-was a dis
trict of country lanes, and con-
tanned scattered population. The
land was acquired by the London
County Council under the COM
pulsory powers given it by the
Housing Act of 1919, and build
ing operations were begun in the
following year to meet the urgent
housing needs of the British me-
tropolis. Once densely forested,
the area was described in 1923
as:
"alwaies especiallie and above
all THERE other forests priced
and esteemed by the Kings

And so this great area, once re-

Subsidy Reasons

THE second case requiring
subsidy is that type of family
which cannot pay even the low
rent which we in England can
now cut down to about $3.50 a
week for a cottage with living
room, bathroom and two or
three bedrooms. We must care
for these people in some way.
Because they are unemployed is
no reason for them to de-
generate into Slum living. In
fact, it costs us more to let them
degenerate into a slum than to
help them pay the rent.
"One word more. I know that
many persons over here believe
that private enterprise is going
to be interfered with by this
work. Don't believe it for a
moment. You will see that al
though we have built 100000
houses in England by public
credit and through municipal
enterprise. private enterprise
has had the era of its life in
the last year."
England is experimenting at
present with a program of rent
rebates based on family incomC
and the size of the family, rather
than the size of the house occu-
pied. These rent differentials,
while difficult to administer, have
found their way into the housing
practice of many municipalities,
with the City of Leeds assuming
the leadership in this angle. In
general, the effect of this policy
is to give the poorer families the
lowest rents. AS income goes
down, rents go down. Or as a poor
family increases in size, rents are
reduced in something like inverse
rati0
The Washington times., 1937-01-29

Under the several housing acts
enacted following the World War
the municipality, assisted by the
national government, has spon-
sored the construction of $4,000
dwellings accommodating a popu-
lation in excess Of 100000. For the
most part these are contained In
great apartment groups and gar
den towns, some of Georgian de-
sign and others exhibiting the
most advanced application of mod
ernistic architecture, but all of
substantial construction, usually
brick, with ample provision for
light and ventilation. In this re-
spect most Of these newer dwell
ings for workers are superior to
many high-priced apartments in
the United States.
But though Manchester, Leeds
and many other cities have built

Publicly Managed

There, under public patronage,
the English workingman's family
may live now in a six-roomed brick
cottage, set amid Handicapped
lawns and parks, for $40 a month
rent, or in three-roomed modern
apartment for $40 a month. Each
house or apartment has a garden,
front and back. The community
has its own mercantile establish
ments, schools, health clinics,
churches, recreational facilities
and social outlets.

'est. Yet the fact remains that if
the practice were to be extended
indefinitely it would permit the
largest families, with the lowest
incomes, to occupy dwellings on
an almost rent-free basis.
Becontree, London'S agigantic
satellite, is occupied for the most
part by an industrial population.
Built on garden-city principles, it
exists in close proximity to the
Ford Motor plant, the Briggs Body
Corporation plant, a soap factory,
the Thames docks and other cen
ters of employment. Surveys have
shown that from 40 to so per cent
OF its inhabitants are employed in
these and other nearby industries,
The Washington times., 1937-01-29
One Bad Feature

One consequence Of this policy is
to put a premium on large families
in the poorer districts of the cities,
and to deny to the small family
corresponding reward for restraint.
Those favoring the policy argue
Soundly enough that it directs the
benefits of public housing subsidies
to the families whose need is great.
