NoHome ShortageDue
 But Rents Are Rising
New Building and Commission Will Meet Space De-
 mand of Increasing Occupancy

Chicago, Aug. 25-What's going to happen to American housing? Will there be enough houses to go around when our war-defense starts rol- ling? Will rents go sky-high? will mortgage money be available
 These are some of the questions now being asked by millions of Am erican heads of families. Answers to them are provided by a semi-an- nual building forecast just released by the National Real Estate Jour- nal.
 According to the Journal forecast occupancy during the next six months will increase, but in the ty- pical U. s. city will not reach the point of acute shortage.
 Present building in most cities, the forecast reads, "is creating housing units at a rate virtually equal to the expanding demand Whereas housing bottle -necks vii appear in isolated areas, these will receive individual treatment, cannot be considered average"
 RenJaE VIII continue to increase having advanced IA per cent dur ing May Still larger advances are prophesied for the fall, in line witI price advances in all fields.
 The survey indicates that new home building will continue, as the trend away from medium price city apartments to modern suburban homes continues.
 A shortage of some building ma. terials may be felt, but this vii probably be overcome by partia substitution. Some materials will undoubtedly be classified as ''neces- sities. a practice which originated

But to give yourself a knockout sock on the jaw, just contrast the completeness of the German Four Year Plan of 1933-37 and the perfection of its execution with the American lack of organization in handling South American af- fairs up to, six months or 8 year ago.
 The United States government has in South. America today about 5000 official representatives-just a third the number of German Vagabundos on the job in 1883. Tn addition, the United States has in Washington perhaps 500 people who are now thinking about South America They are scattered in the State Depart ment under Sumner Welles and the Department of Commerce under Wayne Chatfield Taylor, the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-Amer- ican Affairs under Nelson Rockefel- Ter, the Export Import Bank under Warren Pierson, the REC and its subsidiary agencies under Jesse Jones.

GOVERNOR SPEAKS
 AT TOWN MEETING
Urges Support for Presi- dents Foreign Policies;
 Smith Asks for Unity

Tn the present grave emergency. President Roosevelt's foreign policy should have the full support of the people, Gov. Robert A. Hurley de- clared Saturday in an address dur ing the bicentennial program of the Town of Salisbury. Speaking to an audience of over 800 at the Salisbury town hall, the governor declared that Americans must be prepared to make sacrifices to aid the nations which are battling Nazi Germany.
 Congressman J. Joseph Smith al- SO pleaded for national unity, urging that personal and partisan feelings be put aside so that a 100 per cent defense effort can be made.
 The speakers were heard at a special town meeting, which was ad- journed 100 years ago. This years meeting was adjourned to the year 2O41.

PURE MASTER RACE
 PURE WHITEWASH'
Ruth Benedict, Columbia U., AnthrOpOlOgis Scores z Ideas of Nazis

Wildamstown. Mass, Aug. 25- 1 (UP) The Nazi idea of a pure master race is pure whitewash," " Ruth Benedict Columbia univer- sity anthropologist,, asserted today. She told the Williamstown h. stitute of Human Relations that there are two reasons, historically and scientifically established, which disprove that a nation of mixed races and cultures is weak and l decadent:
 1-"The Germans are themselves a mixed race; every people who have built impressive civilizations have been drawn from diverse nu- man breeds"
 2.-"Time and again in history the bringing of cultures in contact within a nation has produced great new birth of human effort and art and intention"
 Pointing to the fact that the United States, by claiming strength through its diversity was flying in the face of a philosophy which has established itself by force of arms over clmost the whole face of Eurcoe," Miss Benedict said: ! Pledge to america
 Our pledge must be again to an America which offers opportun.- ity for the development and en- ployment of every talent" To do otherwise, she said, means that the minorities in this country may be- come "a millstone around our neckS, 8 source of civil strife" and "'com- mon disaster"
 Another speaker, pr. Rayford w Logan, history professor at Howard university, told the audience of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders that Americans must not only contribute all possible to a victory for the democracies, but they must enforce in the postwar covenant a guarantee of the rights of cultural groups in all nations to freedom and equality.
 "Will our statesmen fail us again in taking the leadership for such 8 proclamation in the new peace covenant?" Dr. Logan asked. ssIf eA@~J NY w 4OAAQ44eA ASoC4 VC u 4A4VC our own ideals recurrentIy endan- gered by foreign ideologies and wars until equality is achieved in the complete debasement of all."
 The racial and cultural diversity | of the United States, he said, has been a source of weakness as well as strength. He declared the na- tion's history has been marked by sporadic attempts to persecute and oppress minorities. The Ku Klux Klan, ia form of native fascism, was killed by ridicule. he said,
 America has survived recurreni movements to organize race against race, or religion against religion pr. Logan said. because 1t Is Slr- tually impossible to organize 6 strong group of the American peo. hple against other Americans with out the most glaring inconsisten. cles and anomalies. a"

wanted for South America From its study, the South American continent was divided into IA economic zones.
 A German gauleiter = a pretty South American feuhrer = was ap- pointed for each of the 114 zones. Each gauleiter became responsible for his zone and what went on in it.
 The Nazis were thus ready to take over South America in 1887, just about two years before the United States officially woke up to whta went on.
 MILES AND MILES
 OF USELESS FILES
 There were individuals, of course, who spotted this German penetra- tion of South America and came back home to write pieces for the papers, magazines, or write a book and to do a bit of featuring on the subject.
 But the United States was still having it's own har dtimes in those days, and nobody could bother much about what few German tourists and drummers were doing here and there in lands to the south.

First Of Six Articles
TRADE

Chatficld Taylor, moved in on tin Department of Commerce in pretty strenuous style. It wasn't just tha South American division of the Bur eau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce that was given Q going over, but the whole department.
 Systematically and without much publicity or fanfare, Jones has given the works about as thorough Q re- organization as any federal depart. ment has had since 1932. Certainly 1t is the biggest change the Depart. ment of Commerce has had siI1cl Herbert Hoover took it in charge q years ago.
 For the South American job Jones has chosen William LaVarre a newcomer to government circles, but man who. as an explorer, knows the hot spots of South and Central America from Agua Callen- te to Tierra del Fuego.
 From 1921 to 1924 he directed his own expeditions, discovering gold and diamonds in British Guiana, oil in Venezuela, and exploring the headwaters of the Amazon. For 8 few years, he was in the newspaper business in South Carolina, but in 1880 he went back to South America to survey Dutch Guiana for bauxite and cinnabar.
 Since that time he has travelled all through Latin America, writing articles which he has placed in North American newspapers, through his own syndicate, and re- turning to the States for few months featuring each year. to raise money to take him back for further exploring in South America. He speaks Spanish and Portuguese, knows the people and their ways, knows what mistakes gringos make, and can continue to make, when they go south.
 CHIEF OF STAFF IN
 U. s ECONOMIC WAR
 Lavarre was in South America practically all the time the German Vagabundos and suitcase salesmen were making their rounds, and the details of how they took over are his.
 La Varre has been on the job in Washington since June His title is Chief of the American Republics Unit in the Division of Information al Economy. Department of Com merce. He is also Commerce's rep- resentative on the new Economic Defense Board Committee on Inter American Affairs, created by the Presidents Executive Order on July 31.
 He had no intention and no ann bition to enter the government serv- ice whe nhe came to Washington last spring to get his passport visas and say goodbye to his friends in the State and Commerce departments, before going on another South Ann erican jatlnt. Jones tapped him for the job in Washington
 Today, the American Republics Unit is one of the liveliest spots ir the Department of Commerce. Trade with the rest of the world is froz- en, isolated, or so highly militarized that it can hardly be called com merce. But the job of winning La- tin America, not as a conqueror but as an ally, is the biggest battle in the entire economic war.

Good Evening.

Private Perkins is learning to walk, He says this army business is not just tax. His captain only gives him an even chance, He who at golf had such a swell stance, And thought himself quite fine at sports An athletic he-man dressed in shorts. But after drilling army day, by heck, Private Perkins was one complete wreck. Private Perkins played mean baseball on the diamond he took many a fall. In the army he's way down with the slow movers, And not so hot in field maneuvers. He never considered himself soft or saggy, Or that in uniform he'd look so baggy. As a civilian Mister Perkins was on the top But in the army he's quite flop.

 Many of the tourists were good mechanics or engineers. Visiting some remote estate where the pump had broken down or the home lighting plant was busted or the trucks or motor cars needed overhauling, the grateful guests would pitch in to make repairs and tune things up in a way that baffled the inexperienced native Indian help.
 That was the picture all over South America. Vagabundos out to see the world, manifesting a lively interest in everything that went on, taking pictures, taking notes for their scrapbooks.
 At the end of 1895 all 5000 of them were called back to Ger many, their information classified, catalogued, card indexed, studied, analysed. And the studious, brainy Na1 government in Berlin began making new map for the economic conquest of South America.
 The experiences of the first 5000 were used to train and educate another 5000 and in 1886 all 18,OOo of them went back to help finish the job.
 The second part of the Nazi Four Year Plan for South Amer ica took in the services of the German salesmen, who. began to increase in great numbers from 1883 on. They were. briefcase sol- diers of Gernany's economic war, out to peddle anything they could -oi, machinery, tobacco, utilities, drugs, textiles, notions = but with 8 difference.
 Every salesman was carefully trained for particular job. He wasn't just trying to peddle diesel mine pumps = he was making a survey of all the mines in his ter- ritory. How many there were, what they produced, which ones were not producing, what it would take to put them in commission and how much of a market there Was for what they had to sell or what they might produce.
 It was the same in every line. Each salesman napped-in the re- quired details of his territory, its resources and market.
 When the information of all the tourists" and all the saleSmen was assembled in Berlin, the eco monies ministry, the Nazi Geo. Politick Institute, had what it

 There are perhaps miles of their reports in files lined up in neat rows in Washington. Mostly super ficial and routine, they probably represent one of the greatest col lections of useless information ever assembled. Such information as happens to be there has not been catalogued or coordinated.
 Less than a year ago, the Depart ment of Commerce woke up to the fact that the economic intelligence reports from Latin America were just plain lousy, The full import of the German effort to take over the South American markets was begin ming to sink in.
 Jesse Jones, Federal Loan Admin- istrator and also Secretary of Com merce since Harry Hopkins gave up the job, came to the conclusion that if the Germans were smart enough to wage this anti-American econo- mic war, the North Americans were smart enough to beat them at pro- American economic defense.

 Germany they were known as Weltbummlers, but in South Amer
 ica they were known as the Vaga-
 bundos. There were 5000 of them
 assigned to South America alone. They travelled singly or in pairs or parties and to all intents they were nothing more than tourists. They didn't have any too much
 money, they weren't any too well dressed, They carried cameras, they took snapshots all over the place, and they had the curiosity, the unsuitable lust for information that marks a good rubberneck, whether you find him in front of the Sphinx or the sacred temples of the sun in Teotihuacan. They took notes.
 They collected visas to prove to their Fuehrer that they had covered their assignments

 They took in the city, and they took in the country. They trav- eled by rail or on horseback or they hiked, with Indian guides, through jungles. They took river boats or they padded their own canoes.
