sembly has been circulating among
members for two weeks now, in which
members have been asked to sign
their names endorsing TIE Presidents
court proposals, there has been very
little sentiment in favor of joint re-
solution commencing the Presidents
program and calling upon the mem
Ders of the North Carolina delegation
in Congress to support it. Those op-
posed to the resolution of this nature
have been certain SO far that they had
it headed off. But indications now are
a resolution indorsing the President
will go through both houses with little
OF no opposition, especially since since
the South Carolina General Assembly
has adopted such a resolution. Such
a resolution of course, would be a
slap at Senator Bailey and the con-
gressmen who so far have been only
lukewarm towards the Presidents pro-
poSals.
Another Dinner Coming
Another beneficial result of the Tyd-
ings speech is regarded as being the
decision by National Committeeman
Lon Folger and his committee to hold
another "Victory Dinner" which will
be definitely pro-Rooseveltian in fav-
or with a real New DEAL Democrat
as a speaker, in the Memorial Audi
forum the night of March II in an
effort to erase the memory and effects
of the first Victory Dinner with it's
bad Tydings." r. L. Mcmillan, who
was chairman of the first Victory Din
ner has consented to act as chairman
Of the second New Deal' Victory
Dinner on March r. Tickets for the
second dinner will be only 81 each,
instead of $3.50 and orders are already
pouring in. One man from a nearby
county yesterday placed an order for
40 tickets and county chairmen from
all parts of the State are wiring and
telephoning headquarters here that
they will be here with large delega-
tons
Managers "Sick"
1t is no secret that National Com
mitteeman Folger and Chairman Nc
MILAN have been almost sick in bed
since the Tyding speech. At one time
they seriously considered issuing an
apology for the speech, but this would
have been regarded as more or less
apologizing Cor Senator Bailey-and
national committeeman cannot afford
to antagoni senator's, even when
they think the senators are wrong. 1t
is now known that the only reason
Senator Bailey was asked to get the
speaker for the first Victory Dinner
was due to senatorial courtesy" and
the belief of some of the committee
members that it would have been a
breach of political etiquette for the
committee to select its own speaker
without consulting Bailey. It is now
frankly agreed, however, that Sena-
tor Bailey will not be consulted in the
selection of a speaker for the March
II Victory Dinner, senatorial court
esy' or no senatorial courtesy"

STRAUS APPOINTED
us. HOUSING CHIEF
New York PhiIanthropiSt
Will Direct s526, 100000
Program.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Nathan Straus of New York City,
newly appointed administrator Of the
United States Housing Authority, will
direct a broad program of providing
"decent, safe and sanitary dwellings,
within the financial reach Of poor
families.
Straus, a member of the Housing
Authority of New York, was chosen by
President Roosevelt yesterday. His ac-
tual introduction to his new post will
come tomorrow in White House con-
ference with Mr.. Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Ickes.
The Housing Authority, established
by passage last Summer of the Wag-
ner-Steagall housing act, will supply
Straus with 100000 to carry out
his work
A limitation written into the bill by
economy advocates, however, forbids
the spending of more than $1,000 a
room in construction of low-rent
buildings.
Officials of the Public Works Admin
tstration said Straus may call on their
Housing Division for assistance. The
division is to be under nominal juris-
diction of the Interior Department.
The P. w. A. Housing Division,
headed by Howard A. Gray, is winding
up its program of constructing 81 low
rent housing projects at an approxi-
mate total cost of $134,000.000. Its
architects, engineers, investigators and
attorneys will be available for the
larger program.
The new housing endeavor does not
attempt to make the projects self
supporting.
The Wagner-Steagall act allows for
loans and subsidies and. in general
way, is designed to make the program
one of local initiative and operation.
A major part of Straus' supervisory
work will be to see that slunls are
wiped out to an extent approximately
tion. Slum-clearance may be delayed
only in communities where the hous-
ing shortage is acute.
Straus, a member of a wealthy
family long known for its philan-
thropy, has made housing studies in
the United States and elsewhere at
the behest of Mayor La Guardia of
New York and has been consulted
frequently by Mr.. Roosevelt. His selec-
ton to head the new program must
be confirmed by the Senate. The post
pays $4,000 yearly.
He formerly was head of the N. R. A.
Offices in New York. He is in his
forties.
There had been a four-way contest
for the post The others in the race
we're Gray, Langdon w. Post chair
man of the New York City Housing
Authority, and John Ihlder, executive
officer of the District of Columbia s
Alley Dwelling Authority.

LENTEN SERMON
 BY FIR. SWEENEY
Compelling Presentation of Timely Subject By
 Dominican Priest

And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand, stated Father Sweeney, o. F.. in- structor at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven in his weekly Lenten sermon at St. Margaret's church last night. Taking as his topic the sins and disorders of society at the present time, the Dominican priest drew an effective parallel between an actual foundation and what is entailed in it's planning, and the moral foundation.
 Taking as his text the words in the gospel of St. Matthew, And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Father Sweeney gave very powerful ser- mon, logically developing his sub-
