FUNDS DENIED USHA
President WarnlY Praised
MIR. Strdus' Work As
Administrator

Washington, d. G.. ULNS).- Making
a scorching attack on slum ownership,
Nathan StrauS, retiring as administra-
tor of the United States Housing Adj
miniStration, charged that interests
bpnefitting from SlumS are taking ad-
vantage of the war period TO wreck
the Governments public housing pro-
gram.
Ownership and operation of SlumS is
one of the largest and most profitable
Industries i'm America, StrauS declare
in letter of resignation. dated Jan i
but which was not made public until
Feb. II, when President Roosevelt ac-
cepted the resignation, in a letter prais-
ing Straus' work.
Explaining his resignation, Admins
traitor Straus said that his continuance
in office would mean enactment by the
enemies of public housing of legislation
which would "jeopardize our war eff
fort" and blight the face of America
with scOurge of new slums.
Funds Denied USHA
In cOnfOrmance with what he de
clared was carefully worked out plan
to destroy the USHA housing program
StrauS declared that the House already
has enacted Legislation denying funds
''to the only agency of Government
with Il record of success in building de-
fense housing and turns over the pro-
gram to an agency without experience
or competence in this field"
The House bill further provides
Straus pointed out, that defense hous
ing projects must be sold to private
interests at the end of the war
"In effect" he cOntended, "this
means that housing built with public
funds shall not he used to serve public
needs but shall instead be sold at bar
gain prices to real estate spectators
to becom the slums that will blight
our nation for generations to come.''
The Senate, he declared, had reject
ed the worst provisions of the House
bill but he added he had been told on
"unimpeachable authority" that the
enemies of slum clearance would in

CONGRESS Asked
To Aid Workers.
Deprived Of Jobs
Sl8 Muximum Benefit Was
Too Low. Hillmdn Told
The Committee

Washington, D. C. GLNS).-Ap-
proval of a 100000. 600 unemployment
compensation fund for war industries
was urged by Paul V. McNutt, Federal
Security Administrator and Sidney
fIillman, War Production Board labor
director, in testimony before the House
Ways and Means Committee.
The proposed $500, 100000 fund is in
tended to supplement state unemDlOy-
ment compensation benefits, up to $24
week and would be paid to workers
temporarily made iobleSS by changes
of plants from peace time to war pro
duction. McNutt estimated that fewer
than 100000 of the 3lOOO,OOO indus
trial workers would need to be helped
Hillman told the House committee
that only by supplementing present
unemployment compensation machinery
could the Government hope to keep
skilled workers for necessary prOduc-
tiOn.'
Saying that hundreds of thousands
of industrial workers had been thrown
out of work by conversion of plants
from civilian to war production, he as
serted:
The Federal Government has def
mite obligation to provide some meas
ure of economic assistance for these
displaced workers during the period OF
temporary unemployment.'
\ proposed 20 per cent increase In
normal compensation payments provid
ed under bin now before the commit
tee, ''i, in my judgment, inadequate,'
llillman declared, pointing out that in
some 80 states the maximum now il
SO Il week and that addition of 20 pei
cent would increase it to SIS. He said
! President Roosevelt originally suggest
ed Il maximum as high as $24 Il week
Supporting his assertion that an SIS
maximum benefit was too low, HillmaI
told the committee:
with Il weekly benefit of S1S, a
skilled worker accustomed to II wage
Of say $40 Il week or more, and to Il
certain basic standard Of living, would
be under immediate pressure to seek Il
job elsewhere if none was available
locally.
"rhe difference between SIS and $2l
the amount that | have previously
recommended to your committee -
might be the determining factor that
would induce him to remain in the
community until his former employer
had finished retOOling. That additional
So would help insure him at least the
essentials of food and shelter for his
family.
This is Il very important considera
tion. We must see 40 it that there is 4
trained worker reasy to operate every
machine converted to war production.

RATIONING

(From The Magazine of Wall street,
Widespread consumer rationing will
be Il novel experience for Americans,
but ii Is in unacceptable accompaniment
of total war. Not even this richest of
all countries can provide simultaneous
" and implements and materials for
war and the normal supply of con
sumner goods.
Kationng is not only Il device for the
faireSt distribution of Il short supply
of goods. 1t is by far the most eirec-
tive single instrument for control of
price initiation, especially if coupled
with Federal licensing of sellers %,
other means of assuring compliance
with regulations and dealing out pun
iShmcnt for willful violation. Without
1t, scarce goods would go 10 those able
or willing to pay the highest prices.
1t began with extremely drastic
ralioning Of tires. The nearby sugar
rationng viii sharply reduce the cur
rent abnormal demand but will cut
normal consumption only moderately
For those who do the rationing, topped
by the energetic Mr.. Henderson, there
are many headaches and no glory of
popular acclaim. They will broaden
the list Of rationed goods no more
rapidly than absolute, demonstrated
need dictates. So consumption habits
are not i'm for quick revolution-and as
regards many kinds of goods can be
for some time out of pres
emily accumulated household inven-
tories. But by the end of this year the
ration list probably will be fairly eX-
tensive and retail merchants, for the
first time in their lives, will not need
to urge customers to buy.

FOR BETTER HOMEMAKING


During these days of conserving and
saving everything there is move on
in some communities to save all fats
and grease and sell it back to the
butcher who will in turn send it to be
reprOceSSpd for war materials. But If
no such move is on in your community
why not make soap for your own use
at home. Here is cold water soap
which needs no cooking: l can concen-
trated lye. 5 lbs. fat, 1 qt. water, Il
cup gasoline, II cup household am
monia, 9 tablespoons borax.
Heat water, dissolve lye in 1t, add
fat, gasoline, ammonia and borax.
Place in agate vessel and stir with
wooden paddle until thoroughly mixed.
Set aside to get completely cold; cut in
bars ready to use.
Chefs Hints: A half cup of spicy
mincemeat added to standard muffin
batter produces wonderful results.
Did YOU ever substitute fruit juice
for the liquid called for in mullins? 1t
makes them delightfully."- different.
If Johnny won't eat his carrots, boil
carrots and potatoes together in equal

Pour applesauce mixed with brown
sugar and cinnamon and cloves over a
pork roast when nearly done. It's Won
derful.
How long since you've made plain

buttered custard cups and bake in pan
of water 45 minutes in a medium oven.
Melt IL package soft cheese in double

SAVE COOKING HEAT

time you waste fuel in the kitchen.
It's needed in war. Some of the rules
to follow to save cooking heat are
listed by COnsOmerS' Guide publication
of the Consumers Counsel Division OF
the L. S. Department of Agriculture.
l. If you have Il gas range, see that
all the burners are properly adjusted
to burn with Il clear blue flame at the
right height A yellow flame means
you're wasting fuel. The gas company
will adjust them on request.
.. With either an electric or gas
range. always start your cooking as
quickly as possible by turning the
heating unit or burner on high. Then
when the food begins to cook, reduce
the heat to the point that will maintain
q cooking temperature. Remember that
gently boiling wafer is just as hot as
water that boilS vigorously, and don't
waste fuel by boiling water ut maxi
mum heat.
;. Turn the heat off before. not after,
you remove your pots and pans On
an electric range, YOU can do this
considerably before the cooking is done,
and finish the cooking on the heat
stored in the unit You'll have to eX-
pertinent to learn just how to do it.
4. Use the standard size unit on your
electric range as often as YOU can to
save electricity. And don't use the
giant burner on your gas range when
the simmer burner will do the job.
:. Don't heat Il whole teakettle of
water when you need only two cups.
6. Heat water in the utensil in which
it is TO be used to save energy. Al
ways cover the container in which
wafer is heated.
7. Cook all vegetables in the small.
est possible quantity of water, just
enough to keep them from sticking. 1t
saves viiaminS and minerals as we'll
as fuel.
S.Use flat-bottom pans that are the
same size, or slightly larger than the
heating unit Pans that are too small
waste heat
8. Don't scrub the bottoms Of your
pans until they shine. a dull surface
will absorb more heat than Il bright
shiny one.
10. BE sure the covers of your pans
fit tightly, TO save heat.
II. Pre-heating the oven for short
baking jobs, like biscuits and muffins
is expensive. When YOU use the oven,
plan to do as many baking and oven
cooking operations as possible.
II. Have food ready when the oven
is at the right temperature.
13. Don't waste heat by looking toe
often at the food in the oven. Use Il
time and temperature chart. then don't
peek any more than you have to.
ii. Don't use the oven to heat the
kitchen unless it's absolutely necessary
| -. If you cook with electricity and
live where war induStrieS make biz
power demands, plan to do as much
of your cooking as YOU can before five
O'Clock, when lights going on i'm homes
factories and offices cause peak loads

opponents of the measure that it Is
''unsOrlnd" or intended to bring about
liberalization of the social security
system.
I'VE are facing grim emergency
Mr. Green declared. 1T is estimated
that from two to four million American
workers will lose their jobs in the next
few months because of conditions
forced by the war. These men and
women are badly needed by America.
We cannot afford to let them sit around
idle and starving while industry be-
iatedly gets ready for war production.
ut is cruel paradox that while we
know we will eventually have to find Il
new labor supply Of some eight million
workers before war production can hit
full stride, our immediate problem is
To combat wholesale, if temporary, I'M
employment resulting from industrial
change-OverS.
Under such circumstances, it ap-
pears obvious that the wise thing to do
is to conserve American manpOwer and
to train it for future needs instead of
letting it 90 to waste and ruin.
"Such conservation is what this bill
is intended to accomplish. 1t provides
temporary relief for those unavoidably
unemployed by supplementing existing
unemployment compensation payments
with Federal grants. We ask that
maximum benefits be lifted to $24 q
week for IA limit of twenty-six weeks.
II wish to emphasize that this setuI
is temporary. The bill provides ii will
last only during 1912. BY next yeal
we hope and expect that the present in,
dustriai upheaval will be Strengthened
out and that production will be running
smoothly in high gear.
81 further wish to emphasize that
there is nothing i'm this proposal which
is aimed at destroying the present Fed
eral-State system of unemployment
compensation. 1t contains no hidden
move to wipe out the security eStab
liShmentS of the various states.
"Finaly, / wish to submit to tho
American people and to Congress these
cOmmon-SenSe QueStionS:
as it sound to Starve four million
American workers whose efforts will be
needed for victory i'm the war, or is il
sound to keep them and their families
together in health?
as it sound to let these workers lie
around idle, or is it sound to offer them
opportunities for training in war work
as this bill provides?
as it sound to have these workers
leave their home communities in search
of jobs i'm crowded war production cen
ters where there are no facilities even
to house them, or should we try to keeI
them where they are and where they
factories which used to employ then
are ready to take them on again?
81 am confident that the answer OF
the American people and Congress t'
these questions will be prompt enact
ment of this essential measure"
Frank =. Fenton, National Director
of Organization for the AFL, testified
in support of the bill before the HOUSE
Ways and Means Committee after Fed
eraI Security Administrators Paul Me
Mutt and War Labor Director Sidne.
llillman had earnestly indorscd the
measure.
Mr.. Fent0n emphasized that the pro
posal is not the brain-chiId Of any in
dividual but the joint recommendation
of representatives of employers ant
labor organizations serving on the Ma
tional Labor Supply Policy Committee.
