Democratic Meeting

CHICAGO, June 19-R-Speake1
William B. Bankhead seemed des'
tined tonight for the important pos
of keynoter at the democratic ma
tional convention.
Bankhead appeared to be the
likely choice after James A. Far
ley. chairman of the party's ma

would recommend that Rep. Bank
head be named temporary chair
man and keynote speaker when the
q member committee on conven-
ton arrangements meets here to-
morrow to max the selection. T
He also disclosed that he would
suggest that Senator Alben w.
Barley of Kentucky be endorsed
for permanent chairman OF the
convention, opening here on July
IS.
Il discussed this with the presi-
dent" Farley stated at a press
conference" and he has agreed"
Farley said that Senator F. Wag'
ner of New York would be consld-
cred for the position Of chairman
of the resolutions committee.
Bankhead, 66, member of a fam
lily that was represented for more
than half a century under the cap
itol dome, veteran of II terms in
congress-, and speaker of the ma
tional house since 1896, has been
noted for %eloquence for many
years.
His first major convention role
was in 1912, when he was the boy
orator" chosen to present Oscar
W. Underwood of Alabama as a
candidate for the democratic pres
idential nomination at the Baltl-
more conclave.

AID IN HOUSING
SURVEY IS ASKED
Real Estate Agents And
Others Are Asked To Co.
operate With City

All real estate agents, contractors,
building and loan associations and
building supply houses were asked
yesterday by the city commissioners
to cooperate with the city and the
Housing Authority of the City of
Wilmington in compiling a list of all
houses in the city which were SUBJ
standard as Of September. 1887, but
which have either been substantially
repaired, closed to occupancy or de.
molished.
The city is under contract with
the USHA to demolish, close or cause
to be made standard a number of
dwelling units equal to the number
contained in the white and colored
housing projects of the HACOW, it
was pointed out at a meeting of the
city commissioners yesterday morn
ing.
Already approximately lis have
been credited to the city, being sub
standard houses which were on the
property where the housing pro-
jects are located.
The HACOW, through H. r.
Emory, executive manager, request
ed that the city make an enumera-
ton of all houses which have been
raised to the standards of the USHA
since initiation Of the housing pro.
gram here and that additional units
which can be repaired, demolished or
closed with the least inconvenience
to the public also be listed by the
city building inspector and the fire
inspector.
The commissioners authorized the
city clerk to write the various firms
in the city in a position to know of
houses which have been demolished,
repaired OF closed since September
1887, asking that they give informa-
ton to the city or the housing au.
thority so that it may be credited to
the city's side of the ledger on the
contract with the USHA for equiva.
lent elimination of substandard
houses.
Cooperation from these firms, it
was pointed out, will materially de.
crease the number of units which
the city will have to close, condemn
or order repaired to complete the job
! of eliminating as many s~ubstandard
units as the housing authority is
erecting standard units.
Units which have been voluntari.
ly demolished or voluntarily brought
up to standard since the initiation
of the housing projects here can be
credited to the city, it was said at
the meeting.
