Private Industry Is

Nathan Sliaus. Administrator Of
the United States Housing Au-

vatc industry to build homes for
the middle -incomc third OF our
nation"
He addressed 400 delegates to q
regional conference of the Nation

at a dinner in the Carlton.
Philadelphia.
Declaring public housing can
build only for the poorest third of
the population, Straus called upon
private concerns TO house those
earning 5000 to $1,000 yearly.
Beyond Reach
we must leave that field for
private enterprise. which will do
the job in time" he said. But we
must not kid ourselves that II is
doing II today.
"Of all the homes built in the
United States last year. four -fifths
we're beyond the reach OF families
that can afford only $50 to s32
monthly rent.
Private industry built only for
the top income group. and for no
one else," he added.

Mel Henry To
Get Big Fling
Against A. III. S

What looks like one of the FIN
est jobs OF basketball coaching
in this section comes up for closer
scrutiny tonight when the big
burly Melvin Henry unlooses
his Central High five against a
fast -surging. sharp-shooting Al
legany High retinue in a w. NJ. I.
League foray at Homecoming.
Not that Henry hasn't accom-
pliShed anything TO date. He has.
Didn't he take hold OF mediocre
squad and convert II into a win
ming quintet almost overnight? g?
He did. Under his master hand
the centrals are enjoying their
best season in many years and
Henry hopes to add fuel to the
fire with a smashing surprise tri-
umph over the Cumberland
cagers.
Task a Big One
The task that faces Henry. how
ever. Is possible but not probable.
Allegany's suction sole stars have
been sailing smoothly over the
basketball waters scuttling every
thing in sight. just last Satur-
day night they laid low a hitherto
unbeaten Davis. w. Va. High
squad by the astounding score of
80 to 43 In that game Alleeany
went sniping and picked of" 25
field goals in high powered goal
ing exhibition that sent its fol-
lowers into ecstacics.
Any team that can tarnish
Davis for 25 field goals we'll rates
special consideration since the
Mountaineers turn out formidable
machines year in and year out.
But whether his cause is hope
less or not Melvin Newt Henry
VIII have a legion of followers
