IN
 ANGRY PROTEST
Bishop Blake of Detroit Is Insisting That Taylor Is
 Vatican Ambassador

Boston, Feb. 27. (Up)-Bishor Edgar Blake of Detroit, in an article tomorrow in Zions Herald, century. old independent Methodist weekly will say that despite protestant dis approval, the facts seem to warrant no other conclusion than that the United States now has an anbas- sador at the Vatican.
 Last week." Bishop Blake says ''Myron o. Taylor, President Roose- velt's ambassador to the Holy See, arrived in Rome to take up his of- f1cial duties at the Vatican"
 The article states that when Tay- Tor was assigned last December as the Presidents personal representa- tive to the Pope, 'The Baptists, North and South, ten million strong, the Lutherans and other Protestant groups expressed their disapproval of MT. Roosevelt's unprecedented act"
 A member of the United Method ist church now numbering 5000, ,000 members, Bishop Blake said assur- anceS were made at that time that MT. Taylor was not an ambassador and that the appointment was in no way renewal of the diplomatic relations between the United States and the Holy See, relinguished in 1867."
 Despite Assurances
 "In spite of the assurances from the White House." the bishop con- tinues, there is an interesting chain of circumstances preceding and leading up to MT. Taylor's assign ment to Rome that throws 8 flood light upon the whole procedure"
 Describing the meeting between the president and Pope Plus XII then touring America as Cardinal Pacelli, and subsequent correspond ence and meetings with Vatican emissaries, Bishop Blake continues:
 MT. Taylor's appointment as spe- cial ambassador to the Pope follows as a natural sequence. While the presidents secretary, MT. (Stephen O. Early, may disclaim that MT Taylor has anything more than 6 limited and temporary diplomatic functoin to perform, it is evident that the Vatican construes MT. Tay- lor's appointment otherwise"
 Other Incidents
 The article states that there are several other incidents, including the Pontifical directory of 1940 listing United States of America His Excellency Myron 0. Taylor, repre- sentative of His Excellency the Pres ident of the United States of Amer ica, with rank of ambassador" that indicate rather definitely the inti- mate relationship between President

could, by c 610Qef8ve expeQ0gCt1e 01 money, De made useful for . genera ton to come, thus providing s0und sanitary housing at less cost than new construction and at the same time stopping the advance of blight and decay.
 Check Flight to Suburbs
 Tn many of the older neighbor- hoods of American cities FILA mort gage insurance has hitherto been unattainable, since individual pro- jects there have not ben able to meet "nelghborhood standards set up to insurance mortgage safety. The result has been construction largely at the city's rim and an unintntional acceleration of the de- standardization movement that Is at work in many cities. Over-rapid decentralization, leaving blight in the older sections, calling for 8 huge lengthening out of street area and other public utilities, complicating the traffic problem, has come to threaten loss of business and loss of value in the central business areas, and Is the graveSt problem of local governmental finance. The change of policy which throws FILA support behind the movement for rehabilitating rundown sections of our cities Is thus of the highest So- cial importance, officers of the asso- ciation point out.
 Tentative Regulations
 Regulations for mortgage insllr- ance of rehabilitation projects as tentatively formulated by RIA fol- lowing conferences with the asSo- citation and with mortgage financ- ing groups were approved by the committee. They are as follows:
 1. The principal obligation of the mortgage shall not exceed 80% of the amount which the administrator estimates will be the value of the property or project when the pro- posed improvements are completed.
 2. The mortgage shall not in any event exceed the amount which the administrator estimates will be the cost Of the compleed physical im- provemens on the site Gas limited by Section POT (c) (2) of the Act and Section II, paragraph 2 of the Reg ulations), including the administra- tors estimate of the appreciated re- production cost of salvageable ex- iSting Improvements.
 3. No mortgage shall be eligible unless the administrators estimate of the cost of new physical improve ments shall be equivalent to at least 5O% of the mortgage to be insured.
 4. The mortgage shall not exceed 0O9b of the aggregate of the admin iStrator,s estimates of (a) the cost of the new physical improvements on the site, (b) the fair market price of the property before the con- templatei new improvements CT, if acquired within one year prior to the date of application for mortgage insurance, Of the purchase price, whichever is the lesser, (c) carry ing charges and incidental expenses during construction.
 s. Rents proposed to be charged after congummation of the rehabil- itatiOn program must be in amounts substantially less than those charg- cd with eqt1valent facilities in new construction, and must meet h0us- ing needs and rental market in the neighborhood.
 c. School facilities mnst be con venient and of 6 type acceptable tc ] the social grade, and income leyelf of rei1abilitated property tenants. [. All rehabilitated dwelling unit, must contain modern sanitary fa- ciltties.

 There are details, though which are not yet settled. What to do, for instance, with the vast bulk of earth dug out? Undoubtedly part of it will be used to relocate tracks of the Panama Railroad, which now crosses ground which will be dug up.
 Henry c. Martin, chief geologist of the Canal Zone, has an idea for some of the rest. He would divide the unnavigable parts of Gatun Lake into sections by earth dams. Gatun Lake is regarded as the most vulnerable part of the whole canal

Plan To Re-establish
 Real Estate Values
Natonal Association of Real Estate Boards Endorses
 FILA Move to Rehabilitate Residential Sections

Chicago, H., Feb. M.--Action in cities over the country to re-estab- lish real estate values of residential neighborhoods and counteract blight by rehabilitating dwellings in groups large enough to effect a substantial neighborhood change was hailed as shortly to become economically feasible and was enthusiastically endorsed by the committee on hous- ing of the National Association of Real Estate Boards meeting in Washington, D. C., February 8 and 9 with Newton 0. Farr, Chicago, president of the association.
 The committee, under the chair nanship of Arthur w. Binns, Phila- delphia, reviewed and approved ten- tative regulations about to be is- sued by FILA which, under a new policy of governmental action long urged by the association, open FILA mortgage insurance to re- mobilization projects. The new fed- eral policy Is expected to make pos sibel financing at lower cost than has ever before been known for the conservation and where necessary the rebuilding of older areas of Ann erican cities, including blighted areas. FILA has announced that in rehabilitation project mortgages of not more than $100,000, those com ing under its new regulations, 1t will establish an interest rate of 41a%. Rehabilitation project mortgages over $1000O0 in amount must go through the more elaborate review now provided for new construction on large-scale rental projects, and would carry a 4% interest rate. This will make possible in many cities a beginning of the reconstruction of such areas through ordinary pri- vate effort functioning through liin- tied dividend corporations the coln- mittee points out. It estimates that there are at least eight million sub- standard dwelling units in Ameri- can cities, of which probably half

PLAN NEW TOWNS ON TWO OCEANS

Colonel Larkin, who built Fort Peck dam in Montana, is directing preliminary work. Crews of dia- moa1d drillers are testing founda- tions for new locks and bypass channels.
 Diablo is headquarters of the job. Later two more towns must be built, Agua Clara on the Atlantic side and Cocon on the Pacific. These, with preliminary surveys and plans, will occupy Colonel Larkin and his en- gineers for the rest of this year. It will also use up most of the $15,- 900, 900 appropriated. The remainder Of the job has been ordered done by Congress, but the money has not yet been appropriated.
 Most of the labor will have to be brought in, largely from Jamaica, for American laborers can't stand the sun of the Canal Zone, and Panama can only furnish about 7,500 of the needed 10000. Engin- eerS, skilled mechanics, construction bosses, and technicians will be brought from the United States. BUILDER OF FORT
 PECK DAM
 Blue-eyed, tanned, vigorous Col onel Larkin has been handling big engineering jobs for the army ever since graduating from West Point in 1915. Fort Peck, biggest earth dam in the world, was also his big geSt job up to now, but it's behind him.
 From Montana to Panama was a

system. If Gatun Dam were des- troyed at present, water needed foE navigation of the locks would be lacking. With the lake chambered of, water would be retained even if the main dam were hit, and it would be harder to cripple the canal
 But the new locks suggest that still greater water supplies than are provided by Gatun and Madden dams migh. be needed in future. So plans are being studied for another lake reservoir in the CliagreS river above Gamboa. It is things like this which Colonel Larkin must fig- ure out before actual large-scale construction work starts next year,

By convention time there VIII have been enough primary contests to give a gair line on the vote-get- ting qualities of the leading can- didates. This one may have queered himself by some blunder: that one may have hit upon popular note. No one wil be way out front.
 So, come convention time, the delegates can go over the whole list a ndfigure out which man Is most likely to lead the party to victory.

 His campaign is well financed quietly picking up considerable numbers of southern delegates. He might get up enough speed to up- set all present calculations. MT Dewey might, by demonstrating that his name is powerful at the polls. As of today, that is how 1t looks. It is a situation full of appealing possibilities for dark horses.

 ENTERS NO PRIMARIES
 That explains the tactics being followed by Frank Ganett, the New York publisher. Mir. Gannett is going to end up a major speaking tour in Los Angeles He is in close touch with politicians and rank-and- file voters all across the country. Jim Wadsworth, one oi the shrewdest of congressman, is working with him.
 Yet MT. Gannett is entering nc primary contests and seeking nc pledges. His entire effort Is based on the belief that the nominee wil finally be chosen by . convention which is perfectly free to go in any direction 1t pleases.
 That also explains why the stock of Governor Bricker of Ohio is still on the up grade.
 Governor Bricker has bowed him. self out of the race, and will go to the convention as a Taft supporter. But if the three leaders-Taft, Dewey and Vandenburg-get deadlocked, Governor Bricker will have enough good friends at the convention to start a formidable move in his fav- or.
