were evacuated. But, II you had

dash away south to safety.

hicles including the trips made on
transfers.

SPEED ASSURED

Michigan problems, dlScuSSeu III
outline with officials here and In
Michigan by Governor Van Wag-
oner, will be approached by federal
authorities in consultation with the
governor.
1t was thought when he talked
with the President recently that
the state and local communities
could pretty well handle their own
housing load. The defense program
is expanding so rapidly. however
that the army. navy, OPM and tn:
several housing agencies will be
ready to move almost as soon as
the new appropriation becomes
available.
VARIOUS STRUCTURES
Here is the way the program
generally shapes up at present:
THE United States Housing
L Authority Is "out" as
defense housing agency. 1t
remains the channel through
which slum-clearance projects
will continue to be financed. But
its activity will tend to narrow
and slow down as defense hous-
ing takes the center OF the
stage. USHA will aid only in
directly or by transfers Of funds
In providing shelter for workers
In Industrial areas.
C-Federal works Agency,
- building d e m on n I b | e
houses, portables, and In acute
emergency possibly using Mich
igan-buiIt trailers, will handle
the Job of housing workers on
/ government reservations-as ut
arsenals and powder plants. II
will also run the bigger show to
be financed from the new $225,-
OOO,0O0 housing fund. This pro-
gram contemplates erection Of
more permanent types Of dwell
ings for rental and possibly ulti-
mate sale to Industrial workers.
and for occupancy by army and
navy people at close to cost
levels. The plan calls for one to
fOur-family dwellings to rent for
from $50 to S35 a month.
/ O-Defense Housing Corpora
- ton, brain-child of the RFC
Mortgage Corporation but func-
tioning within the framework Of
the OPM, will perform a similar
function for individual indus
tries, building projects alongside
new Industrial plants making
aircraft, tanks-such As the new
Chrysler tank plant-or other
war materials where there are
no houses now or the existing
accommodation are inadequate.

Defense Housing
Plans UnfoIded
For Detroit
By THEODORE A. HUNTLEY
Times stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-New
ALLEGATIONS of federal funds for de-
tense housing in the Detroit indus
trial area will follow congressional
approval of the $225, 10000 appro-
priation asked by President Roose-
Welt for the enlarged housing pro-
gram. The subject is so popular
with legislators the amount may
even be increased beyond the limit
recommended by housing officials
after first consulting the White
House.
On the surface the housing pic.
ture is still one of conflict and
confusion. as rival administrators
and agencies fight among them
selves for control of the millions ir
fresh funds to be devoted to the
defense Job.

FRENCH ANGER MELTs

Nine. Minkler says that nothing
has done more to heal the breach
between the British and the French
than these dazzling episodes. Any
French anger at the British at the
time of the collapse of France and
the armistice has melted away
before Frenchmen's very real ad-
miration for such bravery on the
part of THE Heroic Legion and
before the familiarity that breeds
double contempt for the Nazi.
But Mime. Winkler says the
Frenchmans contempt for Musso-
lini's army is only exceeded by
the Germans contempt for it.
Nine Winkler, who was in Paris
in December, told of a French
woman who went deliberately to
Maxim's. famous cafe now pre-
empted by German officers, to
create a scene. Three Italian Of
ficers were seated at a table when

their cooperation with such

pleasures left to the French-.
man today is to turn a dirty
trick against the Nazis. Just
how widespread such English

SPIKES CRITICISM

Without endorsing or opposing
the gas proposal. James S. Shields,
assistant counsel for the DSR, has
prepared a lengthy brief designed
TO spike this argument once and
for all.
With figures taken from offici-
ally audited public records he
makes these points:
taxpayers have not been re-
uuired to contribute single
penny toward DSR operations.
On the contrary the DSR has
paid S14.743,421 in taxes and at
present is the tenth largest tax
payer in Detroit and the third
largest in Highland Park.
sThe DSR got under way
with a bonded debt of S59,S20.-
600 and this has been reduced to
only S22, 6S5. Isl. During the
past decade of depressions while
most privately owned traction
companies in the United States
were going through bankruptcy,
the DSR was earning profit
and paying off its debt.
sDuring the last six months
of 1910 the DSR earned a net
profit of S5S4. 361.
During the last 10 years the
.DSR has won the Brady award
for safety once and received
honorable mention five times, in
spite of the fact that DSR street
car schedules call for one of the
fastest. IL not the fastest, run
ming time of any street car sys-
TEN in the country.

LOWEST CAR FARE

sThe DSR Scent street car
fare is one of the lowest in the
country. In the years since 1922
DSR riders have paid total of
S74.773,8S1 less in fares than
they would have if DSR rates
had been set at the average rate
for 300 other large. cities in the
United States.
sDSR street car men get 80
cents an hour. the highest rate
in the United States for two
man street car operation. Coach
drivers get Sc cents an hour.
which is exceeded only in Boston
and Chicago, where drivers get
SO cents an hour for driving
larger buses.
sIn addition DSR employees
have civil service job protection
and are under a pension system.
The DSR pays more in taxes
and in the equivalent of taxes.

tracks, than ii would if it were
a privately owned transportation

THESE NAZI SOLDIERS

Any objections to the Presidents demand that draftees be retained in service past their oneyear induction period answered in subtle manner last week with the publication in English language for the first time of operations of the Central Psy chological Laboratory of the German Army.
 Because the Alaskan National Guard is due to be mustered out some day within the next two months the Territorial Guardsmen may be interested in the type of preparation the pamphlet outlines as used to build up morale and fighting spirit in the Naz machine.
 From grade school on, the boys are conditioned in terms of army maneuvers and their duty toward the "Fatherland' History is taught a story of the great German destiny Mathematics are fed them in problems of bullet trajectories, range finding, sextant-reading and aerodynamics
 From there on, through the Hitler Youth squads and into higher schools. the German children are subjects of a Nazi card file system which in structors record with great all the psychologi- cal reactions of the youngsters This complete case history of their character development is made available to army officials to guide them in placing the young soldiers in the branch of service where they will be of most value
 If the prospective fighting wants to be an officer, he must graduate from gymnasium or secondary school. If he wants to be more than a major he must have engineering degree from a Pathological Institute. If he has hopes of being a general, he must earn a doctors degree in en- gineering one of the hardest things to do now in Germany.
 The youth must next spend year in a compul- sory labor service, where, he is forced to do hard hand labor and rub elbows with other Germans of all classes Finally, he is ready to join the army as an officer candidate
 Early in his army career, he pays two-day visit to of the Psychological Laboratorys IT test ing stations Seated in chair under strong lights. he is asked and expected to answer all sorts of questions. Electrical shocks at odd intervals test his composure. He is put to work on machine which measures muscular fatigue And all the time motion picture camera hidden from view

Air Service to Alaska
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
 Seattle is the natural gateway to Alaska and should always retain that position.
 The bulk of freight traffic will always be handled by water and it will be convenient for Alaska and for Seattle alike if all other forms of traffic and communications follow the route
 The continuance of that natural routing is threatened however, by Western Air Lines appll- cation, filed with the Civil Aeronautcs Authority for an air route from Los Angeles through Salt Lake City. Great Falls, Edmonton, Grand Prairie Whitehorse, Fairbanks Anchorage and Nome.
 It is obvious that commercial air traffic will increase at tremendous rate, when emergency mili- tary conditions are ended and commercial air lines are able to get the ships they need for expansion.
 Undoubtedly there will be room, in future, for an air service between the United States and Alaska to supplement the present over-water service be- tween Seattle and Juneau.
 There is no reason, however, to encourage the roundabout routing proposed by Western Air Lines a service that starts on the Pacific Coast and is then carried far inland, to leave all coastal points other than Los Angeles hundreds of miles off the route.
 straight line is the shortest distance between two points. That applies equally to sea traffic land traffic and air traffic. And it is particularly desirable from commercial viewpoint that all three classes of traffic be developed along similar rout- ngs.
 One reason why other sections are encouraged to promote air services which follow routings faI away from services is that there has never been a highway or a railroad between the United States and Alaska.
 The proposed Alaska International Highway is the answer to the problem of land travel and large part of the answer to the problem of air travel as we'll An interior air line, following the highway route is a natural" It would give Alaska better commercial service than any roundabout routing such as is proposed by Western Air Lines. And there is no telling how valuable air fields, spotted along the highway route might prove in time oi war.

While the Nazis are busy in the Near East, it is the Hitler plan for a simultaneous Japanese move on Singapore and the Dutch East In- dies. Thus the British will have to be fighting in two places at once. will have to spread their naval forces thin, just as it is Hitler's present intention to force the United States to spread its naval forces thin.
 Inside word is that there's defin- ite deal between Hitler and the Jap anese for division of the spells in the Orient. Japan, according to U s. intelligence advices, will get French Indo-China, Siam, the Phil ippines, Singapore and the Malays the Dutch East Indies, and Burma.
 Germany will get all the rest India, Iraz, Iran, Palestine, Egypt and Syria-if, of course, Russia caves in and the Hitler timetable doesnt slow down. That is one big reason why there is so much roofing fol Russia in Washington; why every military communique is put under the miscoscope so hopefully.
