Wait on More Funds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States Housing Au-
thority said in its annual report
today that "a long hiatus was in
prospect for the slum clearance and
low-rent housing program unless

In the first year of its existence,
U. S. H. A. used up an original
authorization of $500. 900 900 and the
subsequent authorization of $780,
100000. Administrator Nathan
Straus officially estimated future
needs at not less than $500 900 900.
Since U. S. H. A. now has no
additional funds to earmark," the
report said, there is a certain pros
pect for long hiatus in housing
program when the projects now
under way are completed unless
more funds are now authorized to
start new projects
The report said there are under
contract U. S. H. A. loans totaling
$500 1856 900 for some 140 low-rent
housing projects in IS communities.
In addition, 1913 communities now
have outstanding U. S. H. A. ear

President Again Hits
Unfair Freight Rates
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt reiterated at
a press conference yesterday that he
favored removing sectional differ
entails in freight rates.
His statement was prompted by a
remark that some members of Con-
gress had started a movement to
lift what they term rate discrimi-
nations against the South.
The President said he had always
been much in favor of eliminating
such determinations, but added he
could not go into detail because he
did not know enough about them.
Asked whether he would support
legislation on that point, he said 1t
would depend on whether 1t carried
out the objective.
