HOUSING WITNESS
Testifies F. H. A. Can Help
Preserve Standards of
Neighborhoods.

The Federal Housing Administra-
tion can assist in preserving neighbor-
hood standards in large cities at the
same time that it is stimulating home
construction by insuring loans, Stew
art Mcdonald, F. H. A. administrator.
told the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee today.
Appearing as the first witness on
the administrations new housing bill,
Mr.. Mcdonald declared "one of the
appealing difficulties today is the
blighting of areas in cities. In some
cases neighborhoods have gone to
pieces before the houses"
Describes Neighborhood Control.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina, inquired how the Federal
agency could control neighborhood
conditions. Mr.. Mcdonald replied
that 1t is accomplished by making sug-
gestions as to street layouts and deed
restrictions when developers apply for
F. H. A. loan insurance. Usually he
salo' those planning developments well
come the suggestions.
The new bill would liberalize the
Housing Administration law in a
number of directions to encourage
nome construction as one means of
starting business on the upward trend
again.
One OF the major amendments
would raise the limit of loan insur-
ance from 80 to 90 per cent of the
CoSt tc help those who cannot meet
20 per cent initial payment in order
to buy home.
Charge Would Exceed 10 Pct,
IL was brought out by today's testi-
mony that even under the amended
Dill the average cash payment for a

per cent when miscellaneous charges.
sucn as searching title, appraisal fee

count Federal Housing Administra-
tlon ofncials emphasized that these
items arise whether the financing is
handled through the loan insurance
system or not and that they vary in
olHerent States. Figures were sub
mltted to show when all these items
are counted the average cash pay
ment would be about IA per cent.
Mr.. Mcdonald told the committee
That IN its two years of operation F. H,
A. has insured more than a billion
dollars to encourage home 'construc-
ton. So far, he said, the Federal
agency has had to take over only 81
houses and has sold 20 of those. show
Ing loss of $4,000. He explained
that when foreclosure becomes neces-
sary by the institution which made the
loan, F. H. A. gives the holder of the
mortgage its debentures for the mort

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.

Declarer won East's queen with his
king. led small diamond to dummy's
queen. then played heart away from
the king. At this point East carelessly
played the nine. not wishing to estab-
lish two heart tricks for declarer The
trick was won by the queen and de-
clarer then spread his hand, claiming
three no-trump.
Now, while it is usually poor policy
to hesitate unduly on defense as de-
clarer may garner valuable informa-
ton, this was one situation which
called for careful thinking. East
should have recalled that declarer had
responded to his partners diamond bid
with two no-trump, thereby showing
strong hand. East could see that
dummy's five diamonds were almost
surely good for tricks. Declarer's sixth
trick was the king of spades, and if
East ducked the heart, his seventh
would be the queen of hearts. Dummy's
ace Of clubs was the eighth trick, and
If declarer held the king, as seemed
likely from his two no-tru1np bid, that
would furnish the ninth trick.
Had East paused to think he would
eventually have come to the conclusion
that his only hope of saving the game
was to jump right in with his ace OF
hearts and return a spade. As can be
seen, the defense would then have won
four spade tricks and the ace of hearts

INSTRUCTION
PLANNED FOR TROOPS
Movie and Stereopticon Machines
Sought to Teach Soldiers
in Training.

III = AAAAo.
Visual instruction Of troops will be
tried on members of the l2lst En-
gineers during their annual encamp-
ment this Summer. In addition to
familiarizing them with the methods
of reading military maps, 1t also will
give them some idea of the objective
they are working toward in any ma
neuvers programs in which they par
ticipate.
In furtherance of this plan, Col.
John w. Oehmann. commanding the
local engineer regiment. has requested
the National Guard Bureau to obtain
from the Signal Corps a moving pic
ture and stereopticon machine. It
will be used to show not only popular
movies during the recreation periods,
but it is proposed to have reels Of
technical subjects peculiarly interest
ing to the engineer forces.
If it is possible to obtain the
stereopticon also the troops in the
map making and Photographic Sec
tion will be able to obtain instruc-
ton in placing maps on the slides.
With these slides, thrown in large
scale on screen, detailed instruction
can be given the men. In this con-
nection request has been made that
the Maryland National Guard avia-
tion unit fly over the area in which
the local troops will operate and make
mosaic maps, and If this is done these
maps will be reproduced on the Ian
tern slides, in addition to giving copies
to the officers who will participate in

TT Is sometimes said that defense
Is the most important feature of

L bidding is of paramount impor-

the game. 1t Is in this department
that player must be particularly
alert. and while an ill-advised bid
often costs nothing, a careless de-
