Lumber Men Fight
Federal Low-Cost
Housing Move
Statement Cites
Retailers Work
In Field

Joining opponents of the pro-
posal for invasion of the intermedi-
ate low-cost housing field by new
Federally-f -fostered home financing
and building programs. the National
Retail Lumber Dealers Associa ton
has called the administrations at
tention to the activities of this and
similar organizations in the con-
struction industry to meet the needs
of families able to pay from IS to
$40 per month per room for housing
In statement made public here,
Frank Carnahan. secretary of the
lumber and building materials or
ganiza ton, emphasized that private
enterprise already was actively and
successfully exploring this field. with
thousands of homes built under
auspices of local retailers over the
past several years.
I'm collaboration with the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
citation and leading trade asocia-
tions in the construction industry.
the lumber and building material
dealers throughout the United States
have for years been working with
small-house architects in devising
modern, well-planned and soundly
constructed houses, designed to sell
within the very price range in which
President Roosevelt intimated re-
Gently that need exists.
Since 1886, the building material
dealers have been sponsoring Jointly
with the manufacturers a national
small homes demonstration encour-
aging the building of thousands of
exhibition houses annually, from
which countless others are sold in
communities throughout the coun-
try. These houses were carefully
designed by housing experts to sell
for $40 to $25 per month, and they
range in size from four to six rooms.
The average overall selling price
ranged from $3.l65 to $3,858. And
the homes were given approval by
the Federal Housing Administration
for financing under the mutual
mortgage insurance plan.
With this kind of housing al
ready available to families in the
intermediate loW-income groups,
and the financing structure for their
purchase already set up in the Fed
eral Housing Administration" Mr.
Carnahan further emphasized, 1T
IL the firm belief of those in the
industry that there is no need for
further machinery to expedite hous-
ing in this field. The only need
appears to be for broadening of
the promotional activities of F.. H.
A. and other Federal housing agen-
cies to acQuaint the public with
methods already existent through
which home ownership is so easily
attainable. supplied by private IN
dustry with governmental assist
ance"
Mr.. Carnahan further expressed
the view that housing plans which
contemplate the creating of multiple
housing developments municipality
owned and tax exempt are economi-
cally unsound.
Such projects he asserted,
"place an unfair tax load on prop
erty owners in communities where
they are built, especially when they
are built in competition with pri-
vate property investments which
are paying taxes, supporting the ed
ucational systems. public improve

COUNCIL DENIES
TRIAL DELAY IN
|P POLICE SLAYING
.Scheid and Knox Will
Face Jury June 27

ARLINGTON, Va, June IT..
Spiking rumors that the murder
trial of two Falls Church police
officers would be delayed, or that
a change of venue would be
sought, defense counsel for Ed
win Scheid and Herbert Knox,
accused of killing Theodore b.
Daugherty, Washington musi-
clan, last March, said today the
defense was ready to proceed as
scheduled on June 81.
Chief Defense Counsel Frank
L. Ball said their case was fully
prepared and that thoughts Of
a change of venue or further de-
lay were not being entertained.
Only some unforeseen event such
as illness can delay the trial, it
was explained.
KILLING FOLLOWS CHASE
The two officers, both under
Is years old, were indicted by an
Arlington county grand jury
after the Commonwealth charged
they feloniously killed the Wash
ington musician near Cherrydale,
Va, following an elleged five
mile chase from the Falls Church
vicinity.
Knox and Scheid told Arling-
ton county officers they did not
open fire on Daugherty until he
attempted to run them down
with his large sedan" The two
officers had overtaken the
"speeder," according to their
story, and were about to make
the arrest when he put his car in
gear and started at them.
CRITICISM DIES DOWN
Observers about Arlington and
Falls Church were of the opinion
that much of the public senti-
ment against the two officers
had died down since the shoot
ing. The reason for this belief,
it was pointed out, is that Mayor
L. P. Daniel, of Falls Church,
was this week reelected, despite
the criticism hurled at him last
March when he went to the aid
of his town officers and posted
release bonds for them.

Tony Manero gave a tremendous
account of themselves before bow

AS a matter of fact, it was in

was one of the damndest one-man

On the Both hole in the after

another eagle. This time he canned
a 30-foot putt. There is a story
connected with that putt. AS II
happened Henry Picard was three
feet from the hole in three ano
was almost sure of a birdie, which
made it necessary for Little to ge
his long putt down. 1t was nearly
dark at the time and Little, hoping
that darkness would settle If hi

He asked Manero about 1t, the
caddy about it, and he looked lonl
toward the heavens, as If seeking

that the sun would not go down
in time to block out Picard's sigh
of the hole, he stepped up ant
knocked it in for his second eagle
of the day on the SOS yard hole

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 13. CUP)-
Henry Cotton, recognized right now
as COLTS finest shotmaker, will
desert London's MayfloWer which
he loves so we'll and visit these
United States this spring to play
in the Bobby Jones Masters tour
nament at Augusta.
I learned this today from a
source so unimpeachable that l
can't even use his name. But its
true. and Cotton, owner of the
British open title and the finest
inverness cape in London, for the
small consideration OF $1,000 and
expenses, will match shots with
our professionals.
Cotton did two things last year
that lifted him from comparative
obscurity' to the top rung In IN
ternational golf. The first thing
he did was to win the British open,
and the second was to crush Denny
Shute in a match that was herald
ed as for the match play cham
pionship of the world. In way
Cotton's victory over Shute fur
thered his fame more than did the
winning of the open. This was be-
cause Shute was chosen from all
the golfers in the United tSateS
to represent this country, and his
choice was accompanied by the
statement that Denny, as twice
winner of the PEA title, was our
most capable performer in man-to-
man combat.
But was he? I don't think so.

Armstrong Kayoes venturi in 9th
Fight May Cause
Boxing Probe As
Rico Claims Foul

NEW YORK, Jan. 13. (UP) -
Enrico Venturi's weird interpreta-
ton of a man writhing in agony
from a low blow caused the New
York athletic commission to stop
payment on his share of a $32 2,433
purse today while it investigated
his fight with Henry Armstrong.
The featherweight champion from
Los Angeles scored his 9th knock
out in 28 bouts last night when
Ventura, lying flat on his back
groaning foul" was counted out
at 2:49 of the sixth round before
12,572 spectators in Madison Square
Garden.
The outcome is sure to cause seri-
Gus repercussions. and may be just
the spark that will set off a pro-
posed investigation of boxing by a
special state legislative committee.
1t also added fuel to the feud for
control of boxing between promot-
ers Mike Jacobs and Jimmy john
ston.
1t is misleading to refer to the
match as a fight because it never
was one. 1t started as marathon
with Armstrong trying to catch up
with an ever retreating Ventura, and
it ended as a fiasco. 1t was a re-
petition of the Joe-Louis-Bob Pastor
bout for six rounds-until "Homici-
del Hennery" caught his man with
a questionable blow.
