Home Designed
For Limited Budget
Planned for Star
Third in Series Is of
Colonial Architecture;
Can Be Built for $500

A home designed to meet the linn
tied budget is presented today by
Edward t. Dunlap Washington and
Maryland architect, as the third in
the series of house plans made espe-
cially for The Star by members of
the Washington Metropolitan Sec
ton of the Maryland Society of
Architects.
Incorporating Colonial architec-
ture, this small house was planned
for helping the limited wage Garner,
the newly married and the bachelor,
Mr.. Dunlap says.
To carry out completely the de-
sign of this house, which should re-
tain its charm and resale value for
years, the architect says the in
terror should be finished in the same
Colonial character as is expressed
by the exterior. Some features neces-
sary to accomplish this are: Ran
dom width oak plank floors; small,
simple Colonial mantel; wood cove
cornice; and random width knotty
pine wall for the living room. The
dining room should have panel
wainscoating with old-fashioned
pattern wall treatment. The light
ing fixtures should be of old brass
throughout.
The bath is situated so that it is
accessible from both bedrooms, as
we'll as the living room. The archi-
tect has left plenty of wall space
for those choice old "hand-me-
downs" and treasured antiques.
Basement is under the front por-
ton of the house only, this will
save considerable money in fcun-
dation, etc. The basement may
contain recreation room with a
fireplace, and storage and laundry
unit under the kitchen portion
If an attic is not required for two
extra rooms, until later time, a
fine, large closet may be obtained
at the stairway.
Mr.. Dunlap has combined in this
small house the garage and service
yard, separate from the main pri-
vate living portion.
This house may be constructed as
shown above at current prices of
labor and materials for approxi-
mately $500, in frame; s4,400 in
brick, and s5 900, in local stone, not
Including the cost of the lot.

Byrd Demands Less
Non-Defense Spending

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Vir-
ginia called yesterday for sharp
curtailment of non-defense spend
ing.
He said the imperative need of
the country was to adopt a financial
preparedness program which would
be adequate to pay in part for de-
Tense expenditures and prevent the
inevitable bankruptcy which will
follow if the present haphazard
and loose fiscal policies are con-
tinued"
IF the war crisis increases in
intensity. as now appears likely"
he added in a statement, and our
defense is still further speeded up,
it would be conservative to esti-
mate the expenditures during the
current fiscal year will exceed SIS
OO0000000 and against this, the tax
revenue, including the proceeds of
the pending tax bill, will be sp-
proXimately s6,600,00O,0O0. leaving
a deficit of at least $4,000 900, 900,
and perhaps more, the largest in
peacetime history and approaching
the deficit of the first year of the
last World War"

Senator Norris as saying at that
time:
IF a President of the United
States were allowed to renominate
himself as he could, it would mean
not perhaps in my lifetime, or it may
not be in the lifetime of any one here
but it would mean ultimately the
establishment in this country of a
monarchy upon the ruins Of our
present Republican form of govern
ment.'

Norris would be honorary chairman
of an independent committee for

Employers send in the wage re-

where he asks FOR tile facts on

when he too trotS out Labor and

causes o; the French collapse.
Every impartial student of the
French situation knows that the
accusation brought by Willkie
and 81 many big business mouth
pieces that IL is now a central
propaganda theme against labor
is without foundation in the
facts. In brief reference TO the

Henri BouChc. editor Of LAcro-

nal of the industry, in July. 1886

has drained almost the entire

stance: il has forced IL TO be
dependent on banks 10 whom
has thereby been conferred the
authority. in respect TO matters
of defense. which ought TO re-
main in the hands of the Gov
crnment.
Hanighen shows how production
improved after the semi-nationai-
izat!on OF the a!rpiane industry.
Pointing out that It would have
done better except for number
OF obstacles. he says. "One Of them
arose not from the semi-national-
lied factories but from the pri-
yately- owned and operated motor
factories HiSpano Suiza and
Gnome ct Rhon. The motor in
dustry in France, as today in thu

He analyzes the defense indus

out that there were none OF sub

years before the Hitler conquest OF
France. Evidence that the 40-hour
