Our public works have mod
ernized and greatly expanded
the Nations schools. We have
increased Federal aid for
vocational education and re-

continue to bring to millions Of
children, youths and adults the

SLUM CLEARANCE AND LOW
RENT HOUSING.
We have launched . soundly
conceived plan Of loans and
contributions to rid America Of
overcrowded slum dwellings that
breed disease and crime, and to
replace them by low-cost hous-
ing projects within the means
Of low-income families. We will
extend and accelerate this plan
not only in the congested city
districts, but also in the small
towns and farm areas, and we
will make it a powerful arm of
national defense by supplying
housing for the families Of en-
listed personnel and for workers
In areas where industry is ex-
panding to meet defense needs.
CONSUMERS.
We are taking effective steps
to insure that in this period of
stress the cost of living shall
not be increased by speculation
and unjustified price rises.
NEGROES.
Our Negro citizens have par.
ticipated actively In the eco
nomic and social advances
launched by this administration,
including fair labor standards, So
cial security benefits. health pro-
lection. work relief projects, de-
cent housing, aid to education
and the rehabilitation of low

We shall continue to strive for
complete legislative safeguards
against discrimination in Gov

OUR DEMOCRATIC FAITH.
Democracy is more than . po-
1itical system for the government
OF . people. It is the expression
Of q peoples faith In themselves
as human beings. II this faith il
permitted to die, human progress
will die with it. We believe that
q mechanical existence, lacking
the spiritual quality Of democ-
racy, is intolerable to the free
people Of this country.
We therefore pledge ourselves
to fight, as our fathers fought,
for the right Of every American
to enjoy freedom Of religion,
speech, press, assembly, petition
and security in his home.
1t Is Americas destiny, in these
days of rampant despotism, to be
the guardian Of the world herr
tage Of liberty and to hold aloft
and aflame the torch of Western
civilization.
The Democratic party rededi.
Gates itself to this faith in democ.
racy, to the defense Of the Amer.
lean system Of government, the
only system under which men are
masters Of their own souls, the
only system under which the
American people, composed Of
many races and creeds, can live
and work, play and worship In
peace, security and freedom.
Firmly relying upon a contin-
uation of the blessings Of Divine
Providence upon all our righteous
endeavors to preserve forever the
priceless heritage of American
liberty and peace, we appeal to
all the liberal-minded men and
women Of the Nation to approve
this platform and to go forward
with us by Fundamentally sup.
porting the candidates who SUBJ
scribe to the principles which it
proclaims.

INDIANS.
We favor and pledge the en-
actment Of legislation creating
an Indian Claims Commission for
the special purpose Of entertain
ing and investigating claims pre-
sented by Indian groups, bands
and tribes, in order that our
Indian citizens may have their
claims against the Government
considered, adjusted and finally
settled at the earliest possible
date.
CIVIL SERVICE.
We pledge the immediate ex-
tension Of . genuine system Of
merit to all positions In the ex-
ecutive branch Of the Federal
Government except actual bona
fide policy-making positions.
The competitive method OF Sc
lecting employees shall be i'm
proved until experience and
qualification shall be the sole
test in determining fitness for
employment in the Federal
service. Promotion and tenure
in Federal service shall likewise
depend upon fitness, experience
and qualification. Arbitrary and
unreasonable rules as to aca-
demic training shall be abolished,
all to the end that a genuine
system of efficiency and merit
shall prevail throughout the en-
tire Federal service.
TERRITORIES AND DISTRICT
OF COLUMBIA.
We favor a larger measure Of
self-government, leading to
statehood, for Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto Rico. We favor the
appointment of residents to Of
flee and equal treatment of the
citizens Of each of these three
Territories. We favor the
prompt determination and pay
ment OF any just claims by In
dian and Eskimo citizens Of
Alaska against the United
States.
We also favor the extension Of
the right of suffrage to the peo-
pie of the District of Columbia.

Modern Living Brings
Architectural Chances

Architectural styles cherished by
generations Of Americans are sue
cumbing to modern advances In
living, according to Clair w. Ditchy
of Detroit, director of the American
Institute of Architects for the Great
Lakes district. The battle of the
styles is still on, with the Nation, in
transitional period, clinging to
much of its architectural past while
freely accepting the innovations Of
the present, Mr.. Ditchy declares in
report on the small house problem.
"The truth" Mr.. Ditchy says, 'is
that many of our modern standards
of living cannot be accommodated by
the old styles, and we are forced to
design our houses-and other build
ings as well-in the spirit of our
time, using the new materials and
inventions to the best advantage and
satisfying function In a gracious
modern manner rather than sacri-
f1cing function to meet the restric-
tions of an outmoded style"

Standardized Partitions
Available in Many STYLES

If you are planning interior re-
modelling land this is an excellent
time Of year for such work. 1t is
well to remember that you can buy
standardized wood partitions in all
popular woods and finishes.
Such partitions frequently come
IN two heights-7 feet inches and
3 feet 6 inches. Each is made up of
three units with the space between
the top of the third unit and the
ceiling filled with soundproof tran
som. All units are SO inches wide.
Individual panels are 2A inches
thick, built on frames with two ~
inch layers of acoustical material on
the inner side, and are embraced
with two 3-ply layers of plywood.
Doors are soundproof with the base
panel water and mop-proof.
Partitions of this type are easily
assembled and made rigid with
screws and full-length posts of spe.
cial construction. Wiring goes
through the end posts at either the
upper cornices or the base.
Remodeling with these partitions
Is not only convenient but eco
nomical.

Census 10 Provide
Valuable Data on
Home Financinu
Owners Of Non-Form
Dwellings Will Be
Asked Questions

Invaluable and heretofore largely
non-obtainable information on every
essential phase of home-financing
throughout the country will be made
available to savings and loan associa-
tions and other mortgage lenders
as a result of the first national
census Of housing-described as "the
most important new subject" of the
18th decennial census-to be started
IN April, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Review declares in its Janu-
ary issue.
"The home-financing data COL
lected from all owner-occupied non
farm homes contacted during the
census will represent the most COM
plete summary Of this type Of in
formation ever obtained in this
country" the Review says in an
article entitled Mortgage Aspects
OF the Housing Census" The Review
Is the ofacial organ of communica-
ton of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board with 1898 member savings
and loan associations and other
home-financing institutions Of the
Federal Home Loan Bank System.
"The question in this part of the
housing study include inquiries as
to the value of each property and
the amount of outstanding indebted
ness on the first and second mort
cages" the article points out. "Ar-
rangements for liquidating these
mortgages will be studied through
queries on the frequency and
amount Of regular payments and
provisions for the reduction Of prin-
cipal and for the accumulation of
funds to pay real estate taxes"
Questions to BE Asked.
The preliminary list Of inquiries
regarding mortgage characteristics
OF owner-occupied non-farm one to
four family structures in the housing
survey as listed in the Review fol-
lows:
Present amount of outstanding in
debtedness on first mortgage or land
contract, on junior liens.
Frequency and amount Of regular
payments on first mortgage or land
contract.
Do these regular payments include
principal reduction? Yes or no.
Real estate taxes? Yes or no.
Interest rate on first mortgage or
land contract.
Type Of holder Of first mortgage
or land contract: Building and loan
association, commercial bank, saw
tngs bank, life insurance company,
mortgage company, Home Owners
Loan Corp, individual, other.
Comparisons Available.
"These facts" the review con-
tinues, will measure the prevalence
OF monthly payment loans, Of mort
cages requiring principal reduction
and OF agreements with financial in
stitutions whereby future taxes are
anticipated through regular monthly
payments. Tabulations will be made
by size of loan, type of mortgage
holder and geographic area.
I'm addition some light on the
relative burden of home ownership
will be provided by comparisons OF
the amount of mortgage payment
with the value of the property. with
the estimated rental and with the
wage or salary income of the home
owner.
Answers which are obtained from
the questions on interest rates will,
OF course, have to be interpreted in
the light Of other charges levied
against the home owners by the va
rious types Of mortgage lenders.
Nevertheless, these figures will serve
as partial guide in interpreting
existing data on the cost Of financinR
home ownership"

Remington Rand Offers
Facilities for Defense
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. July 30.-James H
Rand. jr., chairman of Remington
Rand, Inc, told stockholders at the
annual meeting today the company
had developed leakproof gasoline
tanks for aircraft, army trucks and
other motorized equipment and was
working on lightweight. bullet-proof
armor suitable for such combatant
units. He said all of the company's
facilities had been offered the Gov
eminent.
In order to obtain numerical su-
periority in the air quickly, Mr.. Rand
suggested the Government consider
production on large scale of multi
engined airplanes to supplement the
output of high-speed planes.
"Such planes may have the speed
of only $50 miles per hour" he said,
which is equal to the average speed
OF all German planes, but it offers
the advantage of permitting pilots
to learn how to pilot in one-third
the time required by high-speed
planes.
"At the same time, production of
high-speed planes should not be re-
tarded, but rather carried forward
to the utmost. This country
may not have two years in which to
build up numerical superiority in
the air"

Stock Averages
60 Stock Range Since 1927
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The stock
market today whipped up one of
the best rallies in a month and re-
vived hopes among speculative
forces that the lengthy stalemate
may have been broken.
1ndustrials, led by steels, motors,
aircrafts, mail orders, coppers and
specialties, followed through at the
opening on Mondays late upward
reversal and, at the best, gains
ranged from to 5 points or so.
Utilities, rails and oils were narrow.
Frequent profit taking interrupt
tions were encountered, however,
and quotations backed away. Then
they resumed the climb. Final
prices were under the peaks in
some cases, but the majority fin
ished we'll ahead.
There were two relatively fast
buying f1urries, in the first and final
hours. While the ticker tape never
was pressed, transfers of around
100000 were the largest for any
single July session to date.
In addition to a fair brand Of
business news, brokerage opinion
credited market convalescence partly
to the widespread idea in board
rooms that an exceptional over
sold" condition existed. This was
based on the fact that volumes in
the past few weeks have been among
the lowest for the past % years.
Sentiment apparently stiffened on
British claims of continued strong
resistance to German air thrusts at
England, although possibility Hit
ler's long-threatened big smash at
John Bull might be imminent
served to restrain some purchasers.
Prominent stocks on the upswing
included U. S. Steel, Bethlehem,
