Chairman John A. Breen of the
Boston Housing Authority today an
nounced that by an unanimous vote,
the Authority had taken by eminent
domain an area in the Orchard Park
District of RoXbury for the develip-
ment of low-rent housing project.
This makes the seventh area so

Heath Street Districts of Roxbury and
South End.
A legal document setting forth the
complete details of the action and
accompanying plans were filed at the
Registry of Deeds for Suffolk County.
The Authority expects removals to
start promptly. Demolition will begin
Immediately after the properties are
vacated and construction will follow
closely thereafter.
Mr.. Breen stated that the location

Postal Official In
Service 38 Years
EDITOR TROTTER'S FRIEND

John E. O'Brien, assistant superin-
tendent Of delivery, in charge of the
city delivery at the Boston Post office
has been in the postal service SO years.
Shortly after the new post office was
opened, he was assigned to his present
position. His period of postal service
began few years after THE GUAR
DIAN was first published Mr.. O'Brien
and its late editor, William Monroe
Trotter, were intimate friends.
Many of the colored postal workers
in the Boston postal districts are under
the personal supervision of this pro-
minent official. All of them, who are
competent, are accorded their senior
ity rights respectively in a group of
nearly 500 employees. A recent pro-
motion of a colored postal worker in
Mr.. O'Brien's division was reported in
these columns recently.
Thousands of GUARDIANS have
been given prompt delivery during his
regime. The 10th anniversary edition
when published, is in line for the same
efficient service. Supt. O'Brien has
many years ahead of him to gain fur
ther promotion before he retires. Since
the death of Editor Trotter, his inter
est in THE GUARDIAN has remained

Lou Montgomery, who did not share
the Sugar Bowl triumph with his
Boston College team mates at New
Orleans, was accorded an ovation by
st. Mark Brotherhood last Sunday.
Tired from continuous travel by rail
from the deep south and husky voiced,
the 1910 dark-skinned football sensa-
tion made hi smaiden appearance and
brilliantly surveyed all the outstand-
ing features before and after the
game. In happy view, he cited the
many thrills from start to finish. His
comments on how all the colored folks
living in the city of Sugar Bowl"
fame wanted was a good time, were
humorous and made the Brotherhood
audience shake with laughter. His
description of segregation problems
also was interesting. His conclusions
on what he saw of Jim Grow" re-
strictions, were that his own race con-
tributed greatly to these evils of social
contacts.

BR0'HD. WITH SUGAR BOWL EPIC

gripped my imagination. The
mighty Vols from Tennessee knew
fundamental football and were mar
velous playing that kind of a game.
When the Eagles uncorked their varied
trick formations, the Vols were at sea.
They became powerless. The savage
onslaught of the first half to over
power the Eagles was a great disap-
pointment to the regulars, who had
never known a team to stand up and
take such punishment. When the
second half whistle blew, a dilapidated
team of Vols came on the field anxi-
Ously awaiting the BIC. attack. 1t was
then that the real BIC. coaching and
training systems came into the picture.
My team mate, little Charlie O'Rourke,
lodged, feinted and weaved gloriously
around those giant Vols, tossing the
pig-skin in the flat at will. His marks
manship was not always accurate, but
when it clicked, vast yardage was
gained and B. G. confidence in the out
come increased. Those fading minutes
OF the last quarter were epic. The
Eagles were not only fighting for
football prestige, they were unfolding
to the audience of southern football
enthusiasts, panorama of clean foot
ball, as it should be played according
to rules"
"After the game, a goal post jam

The soldiers would know they have a

surance of mortgages Of up to 9t percent of FILA valuation of new properties in cases where the build CT is the mortgagor. The builder may thereafter either rent or sel subject to the insured mortgage.
 3. Mortgages insured under Title VI will have a maximum term of 20 years.
 4. Mortgages will be limited to a maximum of S4,000 on a single family home, $6,000 on two-family home S8,000 on three-family home, and $10,500 on a four-family home.
 5. Mortgages eligible for insur- ance under Title VI are limited to those on new dwellings on which construction was started after Jan- uary l, 1940, and which were ap- proved for mortgage insurance or for defense housing insurance prior to the beginning of construction.
 New Wealth
 MT. Ferguson pointed out that many workers who have moved into defense industry areas and are employed at sufficient wages to meet monthly payments on FILA insured mortgages had been unem- ployed or had only part-tine work until recently. In numerous cases i therefore, they lack funds to meet the minimum 10 percent down pay ment requirement for new small homes insured under Section 203 and cannot qualify as acceptable mortgagors under the FHA's credit rating procedure.
 The provisions of Title VI per mitting the insurance of 90 percent mortgages to builders are designed | to meet these situations. At the same time, it is contemplated that most of the houses financed under | Title VT will be sold to home owners, with the transfer of title occurring after rental period dur ing which an equity position is es- tablished by additional payments on the part of the ultimate pur- chaser. The liability of the builder for the payment of the mortgage continues until the purchaser ha! paid on account of the purchase price 10 percent of the appraised value of the property as determined by the Administrator.
 New rules and regulations unde Title VI will provide for maxi mum interest rate of Az percen on the declining loan balance, tn same as under Section 203. Durini the period when the builder is tn mortgagor and until 10 percent l paid and title acquired by a hom owner approved by the Administra tor, there will be an insuranc premium of 3l4 of percent on tn
