the fight was tuned in and soon cries
for "Joe Louis were heard on

Low-Renta| Projects
Owned by U. 5. Spur
Building by Millions
Privute and Public
Construction Rings
43 Housing Areas

A survey of 43 low-rent housing
projects owned by the United States
Housing Authority in various
sections of the country revealed that
S9,339 300 had been spent during the
last 18 months on both private and
public construction and other i'm
provements in the vicinity of these
developments, Administrator Ma
than Straus reported yesterday.
The sum included S5,633,379 for
building, improving or repairing
2,O84 private buildings, of which
1.725 were homes and 359 CONNER
cial buildings or churches. Of the
1.725 dwellings, 715 were new houses
and 1,009 were units in IA apartment
houses.
ut is quite likely" said Mr. Straus,
"the statistics gathered in this
survey only partly measure the i'm
mediate effect of the U. S. H. A.
public housing program on the
private building business, that this
early in our experience no one
can estimate the ultimate stimulus.
But local people indicate the
existence of continuing and fu-
ture influence in their reports of
increased business, tenant waiting
lists and of private construction in
the blue print or announcement
stage. We have not attempted to
measure expected private construc-
ton in terms of dollar volume. 1t is
a fact. however, that the amount of
private construction shown by this
survey and of the expected con-
struction that is not included, has
increased or stabilized surrounding
real estate values in many cases
by making possible actual or possible
future increases from land"
The Langston Terrace here is
cited as an example of building
activities stimulated by a public
housing improvement. During the
last 18 months, according to the
report, permits for 116 buildings,
containing 134 dwelling units, cost
ing an estimated S469,000, were
issued on sites in the neighborhood
of Langston. Mr. Straus predicted
total of 1000 homes in the vicinity
within five years.

Speed Records

1t was slightly more than forty
years ago that an intrepid French
man, Chasseloup Laubut, climbed
into specially designed automobile
racer and hung up the first official
worlds speed record for motor cars.
He made the then astounding speed
of thirty-nine miles an hour. That
was nearly two-thirds of a mile
per minute. Today an English fur
broker with a mania for speed and
with nerves of steel hurtled over the
salt flats at Bonneville, Utah, in a
Streamlined super motor car at 368. IS
miles an hour, which is better than
six miles per minute. He is John
Cobb, OF London, one of several Brit
ons who have been keeping the
worlds land speed records in English
hands for most Of the past decade
and a half. Mechanical difficulty
prevented him yesterday from COM
pleting the second of two runs over
the flats, prerequisite to any claim
for official recognition of his mark, so
he tried again today with excellent
results.
During the past ten years the speed
title has been handed around among
this quartet: Sir Henry o. D. Segrave,
killed when he turned from land to

Resents Pedestrian
Control Legislation.
To the Editor OF The Star:

One of your contributors, who styles
himself in a letter printed in The Star
recently as a dyed-in- -the-wool pedes-
trian whose sympathy always lies with
the man in the street, states that having
been publicly corrected in the error of
his ways by being chased back to the
curb by watchful policeman when he
attempted to sneak across the street on
a red light, he should be one Of the
many who have written to the editor to
declare pedestrian control an encroach-
ment upon the liberty of the people.
However, the reformed knight errant
having experienced such ignominy at
the hands of a minion of the law now
gives pedestrian control his unqualified
approval, venturing the opinion that
the regulation enforced to the letter of
the law is doing some good for the
greatest number OF people.
It is not so much the encroachment
upon their liberty as it is the implication
that they do not possess sufficient in
telligence to exercise proper care when
crossing the streets that makes the new
regulation unpopular with persons afoot.
Accustomed as many people are to
governing themselves both afoot and at
the wheel, it is humiliating, to say
the least, and begets resentment to be
required to cross the street afoot under
the watchful eyes and distracting
whistles Of policemen and Boy Scouts,

Suggests Mountains
Be Renamed,
To the Editor Of The Star;

To the Editor Of The Star:
This letter is inspired by a recent
editorial in The Star, Problem in
Piques," which recalls to nv mind q
related controversy.
AS one-time resident of the North
west and Alaska I know that Tacoma
really takes its name from the nearby
mountain, called Takhoma in the Siwash
language, and meaning Big Mountain"
Farther north, toward Ketchikan, the
pronunciation was Tekhlan To me. it
has always seemed more fitting that
this noble and hoary headed mountain
should have its Indian name, rather than
that OF the relatively inconsequential
British explorer. Rainier
Mount Mckinley affords similar case.
The Aleut appellation was Bulshoya,
local Russian patois for Bolshoi, mean
ing big; hence, the Big One" The
same root stem appears in the word
Bolsheviki meaning party of the big;
that Is, the whole or extreme Com
munlst program, as opposed to the
