RUSSIANS REVIEW HEROIC YEAR

MOSCOW, July - Sovie. Rus sia ends the first year of war pro foundLy and, many would say. permanently changed. h the long run 1t may be that the most important of these changes has been in the minds and hearts If the Russian people wbo have come to regard in new light she.r country'S past, their fellow citizens and the lands with which they are now firmly bound in alliance.
 The Kremln knows .ae peo- pie. From the wars beginning t aas set -hem q stiff course. Stern ast efforts were demanded of the workers and the Red Army dur lng the Winter. No veiLs have been drawn over the horrors of the German occupation and the terrible trail of the aggressor has been made familiar by poster and photograph.
 Germany's Full Might
 For many months the people were told that they were taking on Germany's full might almost alone, and though assurances from highest quarters that Hitler could be beaten this year were an encouragement to the people 10 stick it., they also constitut- ed an order to make every effort 70 turn the possibility into a reality. The idea has been kept firmly before the people that 1t is in a mans power to make his own history and that there are no inevitable currents by which Soviet Russia could sail to vic tory, just because fasciSm was a doomed creed
 Invocation of the heroic past has done much 10 steady morale, but much also Is due to the sober optimism which has filter ed down from above and which has found it's most remarkable expression in Premier Stalins s fighting speeches of Nov, 6 and ', when the enemy was hammer ing at the gates of Moscow and the Siberian divisions were scarcely in line Since then the war itself has added much to the heroic legend and the people do not need to look so far back into history to find examples.
 In literature, the theatre and the cinema the heroes of this war are becoming more prom inent. Much writing Is devoted 10 dauntleSS defenders of Lenin- grad, and the SeYastopol battle is now stirring Russia as no other episode of the war. Films are being made of the late General Panflov's Eighth Divisions of Guards which during October broke down the attack of four German divisions before Mos COW. Red Army theatres have presented plays about guerrillas, while in Moscow several plays are running based on events of the war. Many sculetors are working on monuments of fam ous soldiers and guerrillas which

invested by the builder. This 20

current uncertain conditions is too
high to interest those builders who
have 1t to make. and majority OF
them do not. The builders plan
calls for the Government to sub
scribe 10 per cent in the form of
purchase Of preferred stock. This
would reduce the builders contribu-
ton to 10 per cent. one that he is
ready and willing to make. The earn

plan suggests the Governments 10

the builder. This would virtually
insure the Government against any

ment with deliberate sabotage Of
private industry so that public
housers" can supply all the needs.
Whether Government inaction is
deliberate or not, builders agree the
current policy is destroying most of
the industry. Failure to center
responsibility for carrying out the
housing program in one agency or
one man is greatly hampering the
program. AS a builder said: Il have
to see Is oficials before finding out
it is impossible for me to build"
Builders who offered to supply
more than 5000 Of the 5000 dwell
ings conditionally promised by
private industry were questioned as
to status Of their projects by The
Star. 1t was found that construction
actually has started on only SIS.

the others would be built.

insurance company who had said

pany," he said, has plenty of money.
but things are too uncertain for
them to release it. We made 4 loan
to a builder for IS units, but we know
he has enough capital to insure us
against loss. What is a priority?

Subsidies Urged.
Another builder who had hoped
to build 500 units said he was pro-

but 1T hasn't come across" Still
another builder who promised 1000
units had $50 under way. He said
construction money was not avail
able for the remainder. One man
announced that his 3l0-unit apart
ment project was under way. He
said 1t is backed with suficient
capital to carry on, but 1 don't like
it," he added.
Figures show, builders say, that
public housing costs 10 per cent
more than comparable work by pri-
vate industry. This 10 per cent
given In form of subsidy would per-
nit builders to 60 ahead without a
materials guarantee and the Gov
ernment would be virtually assured
OF getting back the 10 per cent,
builders claim.

encouraging war housing is virtually
useless under present conditions. 1t
calls for insurance of a loan of
s10,5O0 for erection of a four fam
lily fiat. But the insurance is not
effective until the project is COM
pleted. This is no help to the
builder in obtaining his construc-
ton money. Anyway, it is pointed
out. rising building costs have made
this S10,500 too low The builders
ask that the $l0,500 figure be strick-
en- from the F. H. A. plan and

fective before start of construction

Government housing heads have
agreed that the changes suggested
by the builders are necessary II pri-

war housing job. They have taken
no action on any Of them.

thirds of the income rise.

Army, Navy Support
Claimed for Plan
OF War AIIotments
Measure Would Require
Service Men to Send
Port Of Poy to Dependents
N the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
War and Navy Department sup
port 'in principle" was claimed by
interested legislators today for pro-
posed legislation requiring enlisted
men In the armed services to allot
SIS Of their monthly pay to depend
ent wives and children, with the
Government matching or bettering
that with an additional allowance
to families.
Such was the system adopted six
month"; after the United States
entered the World War in 1917. Be-
fore the armistice, about 400 900 men
were making allotments to relatives
struggling in the economic back
wash of the war.
Representative Edmiston, Demo-
crat, Of West Virginia introduced
the allotment legislation after con-
ferences with leaders Of veterans
organizations. He said today that
service officials favored its objective,
but questioned its Government al
lowances, in some instances much
higher than those in the 1917 act.
The measure would cover regulars
as well as selectees.
Hope to Keep Liberal Rules.
The West Virginian said the need
for the legislation would be accen-
tuated II the Government decides
that adequate man power cannot be
obtained without tightening draft
regulations on dependency defer
ments.
Selective service officials have ex-
pressed hope that present liberal
rules governing dependents can be
maintained. Nevertheless, they
have ordered re-examination OF the
$500 900 registrants excused be-
cause of claims that they are sup
porting one or more relatives. with
a view to ascertaining whether such
dependencies still exist or whether
convenient marriages" were in
volved.
The Edmiston bill provides for
compulsory pay allotments OF Sl5
a month for enlisted men in the
Army. Navy and Coast Guard where
it is proved they have a dependent
wife or child or an unmarried dl-
vorced wife to whom alimony has
been decreec.
Other Allotments Voluntary.
Allotments to others, such as a
=
child, would be voluntary. Where
these were made, the Government
also would provide an allowance,
but in smaller amounts than under
the compulsory plan.
The bills SIS pay allotment is the
same as the 1917 Act, as is its Fed
eral allowance of SIS for depend
ent wife and its limit Of $50 a
month for an allowance to any one
family.
However, the bill would increase
the 1917 laws allowance for a wife
and one child from s25 to $50; and
for a wife and two children from
s32.50 to $40. In several other in
stances increased Government
grants were proposed.
Three Measures Speeded.
Three other war measures were
speeded along the legislative road
by the House late yesterday.
Without a dissenting vote, the
House approved a $3.50 100000 ex-
