WASHINGTON, Oct IS. tUP)-
Federal Housing Administrator Alb
ner H. Ferguson predicted Wednes-
day that the end of the war in Eu-
rope would touch off fome-build-
ing boom unprecedented in history
and destined to last at least 10
years.
He said in an interview that con-
struction would be largely of private
residences in tn e S6000-S10O00
range. with the costs met to large
degree from record wartime civilian
savings plus $15,On)000,000 that re-
turning veterans will spend for
homes.
Even after such a 10-year boom.
Ferguson said. no more than 60 per
cent Of the nations families will be

WARSAW

(Christian Science Monitor)
A polish TennysOn will one dav write
the epic of the nine weeks in Warsaw,
wh2re patriots did and died while their
leaders blundered. Could the Russians
have sent more aid? Was the uprising
premature? The Poles who battIed the
Nazis in Warsaw did not take time out
to discuss these questions.
At the moment the attention of 4 world
anxious about the implications Of the
failure at Warsaw - Implications that
gnaw at the edges of the foundations OF
future pelce-naturally centers on the
wranglng which went on in high circles
while those in lower circles fought the
Nazis But posterity will read the page
about the glorious weeks in Warsaw with
more relish than the footnOte on the dis
put2 of the diplomats.
And for US of this day, too, it is as
important that men and women are cap
able of such great deeds as it is that
some leaders fall short Of being worthy
# their followers.

DROP IN THE BUCKET
IN CUTTING u. S. PAYROLL

An order or directive emanated from
Washington recently. not from any bu-
reau head. however. calling for reduc
ton of 10000 federal employees to begin
November l. To be Topped off. if the di
receive is obeyed, are civil service workers
in the lower brackets.
What a slash, Forty-siX thousand out
of close to 3.250O00. And if former pro
cedures are followed. even this drop in
the bucket will not represent net re-
duction since later it will be learned that
several thousand have been added here,
there and everywhere.
1t is to be presumed that these civil
service employees have some qualifications
inasmuch as there is, or was at one time,
requirement that had to do with intel
ligence before one could be admitted to
such service This being true then why,
strike at groups that endeavOr to earn
their pay?
Why not aim at the hordes of time
killers who haven't anything to do and
couldn't do it well if they did face a neceS-
sary task?
Still the impossible can't be expected.
A logical conclusion is that cut-backs
being announced frequently now on war
orders and with war plants being on the
way to inactivity, vacating thousands OF
Jobs. tn government can follow suit and
begin reducing payrolls.
There is one big difference. however.
Taxpayers foot the bill for the myriads
of unnecessary federal employees. Indus
try must absorb the idle in production
lines and provide for a continuous pay
roll. No one in the administration appar-
emily knows or cares how industry can
perform this job with mounting taxes
made necessary to support the |. s. pay
rolls.
In addition for the need to keep this
gigantic Job roster alive and growing
until after the election, it becomes plain
er all the time that the administration
is helpless to think out and work out a
comprehensive plan to reduce the rolls.

Only Split Can Avert
COP Victory in Fall,
Gov. Bricker Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Mar. 10. - Division
among party leaders is "the only
thing that can prevent Republican
victory" at the polls this year, says
Gov. John w. .Bricker, a candidate
for the Republican presidential NOM
ination.
But as for me-" Gov Bricker said
in an address last night, Il am per-
sonally more interested in defeating
the New Deal and it's absolutism
than I am in being elected President
of the United States"
The three-term Ohio Governor,
declaring that Democrats are COM
ing into the Republican party by the
Millions" asserted that the basic
issue of our time is whether one man
or one party shall permanently regi-
ment 130000,000 Americans, or
whether they shall continue to gov
ern themselves through time tested
institutions of government.
Our American system was in
tended to be government of and
by laws Under the New Deal it
has become a government of and by
men. During the past II years those
in power in Washington have per-
mitted this Nation to be blown of
its course by the winds of absolutism
emanating from Europe. They lost
faith in the capacity of our people
to govern themselves. They literally
sought to manage. regiment and
dominate the political, social and
economic life of all the people"
Gov Bricker, who addressed the
John Ericsson Republican League,
suggested that positive action" on
four fronts is required ''if this coun-
try is to purge itself of one man or
one party rule" He said needless
bureaucracy" must be eliminated
through a new administration; pol
icy making should be left to Con-
gress: Capitalization of power in
Washington mustsbe ended, and the
people must be given the facts on
every issue" so they can express their
will

WiIIkie Pledges Truth
Even if 1t Hurts

CONCORD, N. H., Mar 10 P).-
Wendell L. Willkie, candidate for
the Republican nomination, says he
believes in telling people the truth
even if it costs him votes.
Trying to be of service to my
country and my fellow citizens
means more to me than to do other
wise and become President" he said
yesterday during press conference
That has been our trouble for
some years now" he added. They
have been telling the people too
much of what they like to hear
rather than the facts and what we
must face in the future"
The remark was prompted by a
question concerning Mr.. WILKES
statement, made in a recent speech
that $4,000, 100000 should be added
to the national budget this coming
year, rather than $4,000, 900, 900 as
proposed by President Roosevelt.
IF the Republican party wants a
leader who by silence wants soft
financing, then it doesn't want me"
he declared. That's why I want
every one in New Hampshire to vote
next Tuesday"

Of Elliott Roosevelt Revealed

ing There is nothing to it" after
publication of the rescue story in

to deny it.
The incident first became known
when Canadian Flying Officer Ken
nedy, stationed in England, wrote
his parents in Southampton, On
tario, that he had helped find a lost
plane which Col. Roosevelt and Gen.
Smith were aboard.
One or more words were deleted
by censorship at eight places in this

Kent Brands Lists
In Gem Theft Case
Definite Foreeries'

Notations on certain cards al
legedly used in making an inventory
iof the antique jewels which Otis
Beal Kent charges we're stolen from
his apartment by Mrs. Frances DOL
mage, 3S. were branded as definite
Iforgeries" by the retired tax lawyer
in court yesterday.
Under cross-examination by De-
fense Attorney Robert H. Mcneil!
Mr.. Kent denied any knowledge oil
such inscriptions as gift to Sally,
and gift N. X. to Mrs. Mallory.
He added that the typewriter usec
to make the notations was not his
property and was of different type
face than his machines
The cards we're introduced by the
defense in the first trial of the case
which was interrupted In December
when Mrs. Dolmage became i'll. The
defense contends the cards ey-
flibited in .couft were used in the
original inventory of the jewels
valued by Mr.. Kent at $4,000, bu.
later discarded by him because the
particular pieces described on these
cards were sold or given away. Mr.
Kent also denied selling any of the
jewels.
Mr.. Kent yesterday testified that
he last saw the cards in the small
travelling bag " which the jewels
were kept about four months before
their disappearance and at that time
they contained no notations of gifts
or sales.
Asked why he waited five months
to change the locks on his apart
ment doors when he knew that Mrs
Dolmage had key to one door,
Mr.. Kent replied he didn't believe
she would "stoop to stealing" Mrs.
Dolmage and her husband had been
friendly with Mr.. Kent and his
mother before the latter's death
and had visited his apartment at
Sixteenth and L streets on numer-
Gus occasions, according to the testi-
mony.
Another name listed on the cards
was that of Lois k, but Mr.. Kent
denied knowing any woman of that
name and initial.
The case, which is being tried be-
fore Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE In
United States Criminal Court, was
adjourned yesterday until Monday
morning, when Mr.. Kent again will
take the stand for cross -examina-
ton.

Plea That Rome Be Spared

The appeal to the military to save

Catholic Hour over WWDC.
Father Cartwright said American

dence that the political wisdom and
military ability of our leaders will
rise to the level of this difficult but
noble task of saving the human lives
which are in their hands and at the
same time, the Eternal City, the pre-
clous inheritance of all mankind"
Rome, Father Cartwright said, is
to Catholics both spiritual capital
and holiest shrine"
