Communities"
BY the Associated Press,

CLEVELAND, Nov. 2O.-Clinton S.
Golden, Steel Workers Organizing
Committee director, told housing OFF,
cials today that if the present rate Of
home construction continues for the
next 10 years, "our slums will become
model communities and most Of lis will
have to live in shanty towns and
Hoovervilles"
Half of the workers of this Nation
are ill-housed." Golden declared in
an address before the National Asso-
citation of Housing Officials conven-
ton.
The c. I. o. official said future pros
poets in the steel industry "are not
very encouraging" asserting ALREADY
almost 100000 steel workers have been
furloughed for lack Of work"
"War Boom Trade"
"If the present low level Of business
and industrial activity continues for
prolonged period, We. our people, this
Nation, may be confronted with the
choice between that prolonged depres-
sion or a war boom trade that will
bring us unsound prosperity and the
murder and misery of war that grows
out of such a trade boom. If certain
interests have their way, we may not
even be given that choice. Instead
the choice will be made for US"
Golden urged "a huge national
housing boom'-to provide more and
better homes for our people" and "a
sound basis upon which We can build
a lasting prosperity"

QUICK DEATH SEEN
FOR CHINA PARLEY
Eden and De|bos Expected
Not to Return to
Brussels.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 20.-The pros
pective absence of leading delegates OF
Britain, France and the Soviet Union
lent emphasis today to a widespread
belief that the Far Eastern Peace
Conference would reach an Intellectual
finale on Monday.
1t was widely believed there would
be no concrete decision on China s
plea for material aid and economic
pressure on Japan.
A decision by British Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden not to return for
the resumption of negotiations after q
Week-long recess, was ascribed in
British quarters here to a cold he
caught in Brussels last week end.
Delbos Also May Not Return.
Although no official announcement
mad been made, it was thought almost
certain that French Foreign Minister
Yyon Delbos would follow Eden's lead
and stay at home, too.
V. P. Potemkin. the Russian dele
gate. who suddenly left to make a re.
port TO Moscow several days ago,
might be another absentee.
Norman H. Davis, the United States
special ambassador at large and its
chlei delegate, was still here, but has
oeen confined to bed some of the time
with severe cold for two days.

turned last night in advance of his

were expected to reach Brussels TODAY,
Quick Adjournment Looms.
Present indications were that the
oooy would adjourn early next week
after a further statement had been
drafted and discussed
In most quarters there was little
belief that the Chinese appeal, voiced
by DR.. V, w. Wellington Koo. would
gain the support he wished. He had
asked the 10 governments repre-
sented to withhold war supplies and
financial credits from Japan.
DR.. Koo's request was the principal
problem confronting the conferees.

The announcement, coming on COM
pletion Of the party's sixth month on

not elaborate on their findings.
Indications that the four men in

Schmidt, who led the expedition to
the Pole and later returned to Moscow
has been quoted as saying they might
be taken of their floating camp site
in January.
