 Tokyo, Oct. 1-tUP)--Japan, in a major statement of policy, an- nounced today that she would brook no interference in China and was determined to pursue her own course ito the bitter end.

BANKS OPPOSE
HOUSING PLAN

QNSJ. Passage of the Admin.
istration's huge housing program
bill may be slowed by developing
congressional opposition to some
phases, it was indicated today.
While Senate and House lead
ers said action in the special ses-
sion is assured, in an effort to
start a building boom, strong ef'
forts may be made to amend the
measure.
House leaders tentatively
planned to call the bill up for pas.
sage next week, while the Senate
Banking Committee may complete
hearings and whip the measure
into shape for action the following
week.
Representatives of many bank.
ing and building and loan groups
were reported ready to oppose pro-
visions of the bill providing for
issuance of insured mortgages on
$4,000 homes with a down pay
ment of ten per cent. Under
present law, a down payment OF
20 per cent is required.
President William Green of the
American Federation Of Labor will
be called before the Senate Com.
mittee next week to answer criti.
ciSm that labor costs in building
are too high.

 "Yes, that's what he said, Miss Joy, and can't understand 1t, unless there's something not just straight going on up at the old farmhouse"
 Do you think there is, Calp Did you ever see anything when you worked up ther that was a bit off?"
