Character and credibility of
Richard e. Tackett. former 7ar-

star witness in the perjury trial
Of Ted Creech, son of a Harlan
county coal operator, will be
vigorously attacked by Creech's
counsel today. '-
William e Leahy, chief defense
counsel for Creech, indicated the
cross-examination Of Tackett to-
day will be aimed at inpeaching
the credibility Of the witness who
has already admitted that on at
least two occasions he has given
sworn testimony which varied in
its adherence to facts.

Creech was indicted on a charge
Of perjury last spring on COM
plant Of the La Toilette civil lib
critics committee, which was in
vestigating alleged "infringements

Tackett, in custody Of a deputy
United States marshal, was ap-
preached by Creech In the CORR.
doris Of the Senate Office Building
during a recess Of the investigar
ton and is alleged to have been
threatened by the latter. When
both were called before the CON-
mittee to explain the incident,
Creech testified that Tackett had
claimed he was drunk when he
testified earlier in the day and
was not responsible for the dam
aging evidence he had given
against the coal operators.
On the statement Of the deputy
marshal that no such statement
was made by Tackett to Creech,
the latter was held on the perjury

3. Increase the insurable limit
from so to 90 per cent in cases
where the appraised value of the
property does not exceed $4,000.

GROUP BUILDING WAY
4. Facilitate the construction
and financing Of groups Of houses
for rent, or for rent with options
to purchase, through blanket
mortgages.
These same measures" the
President asserted, ARE also de-
signed to encourage the con-
struction of apartment buildings
to be operated on a moderate
scale or rentals, with the mort
gage in any case not to exceed
$1,000 per room"
5. Clarity and simplify provis-
ions for the construction of large
scale rental properties through
facilitating their financing.
8. Grant national mortgage as
sociations explicit authority to
make loans on large-scale prop
critics that are subject to special
regulation by the Federal Housing
Administrator" The President
announced that, in order to
organize such an association i'm
mediately, he would authorize the
RFC to make available $50, 000, 900
for capital purposes. The asSocia-
ton, he added, would then raise

jects.
8. Permit insurance for repair
and modernization loans as pro-
vided previously to April / of this
year when this provision Of the
housing act expired.
Mr.. Roosevelt bluntly stated
that the Government, although it
was ready to do its share, must
have the cooperation Of industry
and labor.
RISING COSTS BARRIER
1T is now clear that we can.
not have q strong revival Of
housing construction on the
terms that were exacted by in
ductry and labor last spring."
Mr.. Roosevelt warned. 1.-THE
rise in hourly wage rates and
in material prices was too rapid
and too great for the consumer
to bear. A similar rise in costs
likewise checked production and
buying in other industries as
well. In emphasizing these
facts, ! am not seeking to ap-
portion blame. for manifestly
no industrial or labor groups
would deliberately adopt a
policy that would react to their
own disadvantage"
The President announced he
would initiate a series of confer
ences with representatives of in
dustry, labor and finance with a
view Of giving housing construc-
ton a fresh start in the coming
building year and averting a re-
currence Of the conditions that
brought about the reverses Of the
present year."
