HOUSING PARLEY
Mayor Criticizes Delays in
Program in Telegram to
Administrator StrauS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tle ASsOCldteQ fTebS.
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia Of
New York City criticized delays in
the Federal housing program yester-
day and declined to participate in
a conference called here next week
by Federal Housing Administrator
Nathan Straus.
In a telegram to Straus, made pub
lie by the administrator. La Guardia
asserted Straus' proposal to defer
consideration of applications until
after January l, would result In the
loss of an entire year in the $685.
100000 housing program authorized
under the Wagner -Steagall Act.
La Guardia declared Il certainly
! will not be a party to such a pro-
gram He urged Straus to "discon-
tinue star-gazing conferences" and
get right down to considering ap-
plications'
In statement replying to La
Guardia's telegram, Straus retorted
that New York is not the only city
in the country"
He said next weeks conference with
local housing authorities was called
to frame a policy to meet the needs
of the 48 States in the Union. That
was, l believe, the intent of the Con-
gress in limiting the amount of funds
to be spent in any one State to 10
per cent of the total. y"

But in your country and under your

Article l23 Of the Soviet Constitu-

As further IN support Of the broad

that Negro sits as an elected men,

and the freedom in all walks of

Bringing to a close his speech,
which was listened to by many mil

WAGE DIEFEKEN'IIALS NOT
JUSTIFIED BY LIVING COSTS

many northern cities. For example,
the index Of the cost Of goods pur-
chased by wage-earners and lower
salaried workers, as of September
is, shows that the average for all
items in Chicago is 81.3, but IN At
lanta the average is 83.9; in Balti-
more, s8.2; in Jacksonville, o2.4s IN
Norfolk, 86.9; in Savannah, 1888; IN
Memphis, s2.9; in Mobile, 85.l; IN
New Arleans, 85.2.
"The cost Of living in these various
southern cities differs very little
from that Of New York where the
average is 86.7 and Of Washington
where the figure is 89.7, widely
known as two of the highest priced
cities in the United States.
Even more startling are the fl
cures for housing where even with
out central heating plants, gas or
electric cooking ranges, the cost per
room Ill 9oIuIHpid, o.o.s q oiAesii
southern city, is about as high as
centrally heated and electrically
equipped projects in Chicago and
Boston"
The letter states that there is a
growing opinion in the South, con-
trary to the views Of the politicians,
that the South must have the bene-
fit Of differentials in order to exist.
The letter asserts that difIerentlals
in favor of the South will mean not
difference in cost Of living but
in lower standards Of living which III
turn mean higher morbidity, NOR
tality and illiteracy rates, lower
moral standards and other conditions
detrimental to the South and to the
country as a whole.

NEW YORK-The argument that
the cost of living in the South is so
low that lower wages can be sched-
uled in the pending wages and hours
bill is not based upon facts, accord
ing TO the NAACP, which cites De-
partment Of Labor statistics to prove
that tcosts almost as much to live
in the South as it does in the North
In fact, the statistics cited by the
NAACP Indicate that in some south
ern cities it costs more to live than
it does in Chicago.
The Associations objection to the
favorite argument Of those who want
a wage differential inserted in the
pending bill was contained in a
letter to the New York Herald-Tri--
bune on December 6.
"There is widespread notion,
the letter declares, "that benef--
cent climate and other natural adj
vantages permit southelners, both
white and colored, to live an idyllic
life at considerably less cost than
persons living in other sections Of
the country.
"This myth is completely exploded
by a recent study by the Department
of Labor. This study reveals that
the cost of rent, fuel and light is
lower in the South but that clothing,
house furnishing goods and othei
necessities are more expensive. There
is little difference in the cost Of
food when the prices Of commodi-
ties necessary to make up a mini
mum standard of living are COM
pared. When all items are averaged

the cost Of living IN many southern
cities is considerably greater than II
