BELGIAN PREMIER
RUSHING PROGRAM
Spaak Speedily Organizes

BY the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, May l4.-Vigorous
young Paul Henri Spaak, moderate
Socialist picked by King Leopold as
Belgium's new strong man" prime
minister, speedily drew together q
small coalition government and
rushed tonight into the task of franz
ing q program to lead the country
out of its complex financial crisis.
Leopold, himself only SO. called
upon close personal friend in select
ing M. Spaak. who. at 80. became
Belgian history's youngest premier
designate.
Inherited Finance Problem.
The financial problem M. Spaak
inherited was the cause of the resig-
nation yesterday Of Paul Emile jan
sons government, which quit under
parliamentary fire against its money
program.
Fast composition of M. Sparks
cabinet and his decision to 60 out
side clashing parliamentary parties
for experts to fill the key finance
post indicated he would seek to steer
. middle course.
M. Spaak announced q specialist
outside Parliament would be selected
for the finance ministry, and it was
believed he might seek limited de-
cree powers for . short period to
wipe out Belgium's 100000 budg-
ct deficit. The liberal Max Leo
Gerard. once secretary to the late
King Albert and leading econo-
mist. was mentioned for the post.
Defense Chief May Stay.
M. Spaak said the post of national
defense would 60 to q man outside
Parliament. 1t. Gen. Henri Denis,
who held the post in the Janson cab
met. was expected to be retained.
Cutting virtually all ties with past
governments and embarking on a
fresh course, NJ Spaak was expected
by many to face his first parliamentary
task Tuesday with a program largely
pledged to sound economy and stable
currency.
M. Spaak planned to announce his
cabinet personnel late tonight. With
his premiership he was expected to le-
tain the post of foreign minister, which
he held in the Janson government.

The amendments divide the A. D. A.
Act under two titles. Title II consists
of the ones proposed by the U. S.
H. A. in April and deal exclusively
with the financing Of projects by
funds advanced by the Federal agency.
The amendments to Title are those
proposed by the A. D. A. last winter
and at that time approved by the
Budget Bureau and the Attorney
General. The principal amendment
under this title empowers the A. D. A.
to build outside inhabited alleys and
demolish an equivalent number of
Slum dwellings. The latter is con-
dition of receiving financial aid under
the United States Housing Act.
The Presidents suggestion Of loans
from the Treasury, which is matter

that the A. D. A. Act amendments
should be so worded that the District
of Columbia may participate in the

tribution or grant in addition. Such

cities. it was said, II there is no
contribution or grant.
In the case of the A. d. A., how
ever, the statement explained. any
property purchased becomes immedi-
ately the property Of the United
States. In the case of a housing
authority in any other city. the
property is owned by that authority
as an agent OF its city or State.
Should there be a default on the
payments due, the United States can
recover only by foreclosure, which
it probably would be reluctant to do,
Mr.. Ihlder pointed out.
No such foreclosure proceedings are
necessary in the case Of the Alley
Dwelling Authority, as the property
would belong to the Federal Govern
ment.
The amendments presented a prob
lem to the Budget Bureau by reason
OF the fiscal relations between the
District and Federal governments.

TURKISH RULER DEAD

Mustapha Renal Ataturk, father OF
the new Turkish republic founded after
the World War, died few days ago at the
age of SO, after life of strenuous activity.
While his title was that of president, he
was really a dictator, and under his rule
Turkey was transformed from an oriental
empire into modern state.
Under President Renal, old customs
which prevailed under the sultans have
been almost entirely discarded, the enan-
cipation of women being one of the fea-
lures of his rginne. Mohammedanism is
no longer recognized as the state religion,
and freedom of religion is guaranteed.
Polygamy and slavery have been abol-
ished, and civil marriages made obliga-
tory, with the power of divorce in the
hands of the President. Incidentally, Ke-
NAL divorced himself by decree several
years ago.
All Turks were ordered to take fam
lily names as an aid to keeping police reg
listers, army registers and tax rolls. Ke-
mails last name, Ataturk, conferred by the
national assembly, means simply "chief

age in its wake.
And so the hopes and dreams
of Florida's city of st. Joseph lay
buried beneath a mass of debris,
and those who might have re-
turned sought fortune elsewhere
as there was nothing to return to,
and the few who remained fol-
lowing the storm soon deserted
the place to seek more promising
fields. For many years st. Jo-
seph was but a hideous ghost
town. Weeds took possession of
its lifeless streets, the buzzard
and bob cat, fox and field-mouse
froliced about its crumbling ma
sonry.
But the state to which st. Jo-
seph gave its first constitution
has grown into a great and Nigh
ty empire and today as we APP
proach the Tooth anniversary of
that event we find a reborn city
on the site of old st. Joseph that
we now know as Port st. Joe. In
the last century man has con-
quered yellow fever, he has learn
ed to chart and protect himself
against the tropical storm. Again
the song of the hammer and the
saw is being heard in the old
landmark. Modern hotels, shops
and public buildings have arisen.
Great docks and warehouses again
beckon to foreign shipping and
mighty mills and factories belch
the smoke of industry skyward
Where ancient coach and ox-cart
rumbled over winding woods
roads, new velvet smooth high
ways welcome the truck and car.
December z, 8, 9 and 10 of this
year, all Florida will join in cele-
brating the Tooth anniversary of
/ the adoption of the states first
constitution and the celebration
will occur at Port ST. Joe. Elab-
crate preparations are being made
| for this event. Parades, historic
al pageants and every form of en-
tertainrnent will be crowded into
these four gala days. Dignitafies
/ from not only Florida but the ma

who visit Port st. Joe on this oc-
casion will find a royal welcome
and be gloriously entertained. II
