Housing Claims
Misrepresentation
Charged in IhIder's
18-Poge Reply

The contention that the Metro.
politan Home Builders Association
has failed to prove its argument.
against public housing runs through
an 18-page brief of surrebuttal filec
with the Burton Subcommittee o1
the Senate by the National Capita
Housing Authority.
Making caustic criticisms of re-
buttal arguments presented re.
Gently by the Home Builders, Johr
Ihlder, NCHA executive officer, de.
clared today these statements differ
chiefly from earlier ones in greater
exaggeration. more fragrant misrep.
resentaion and use of words that, Il
directed at an individual, would be
libelous.
Cites an Example.
For example" Mr.. Ihlder con.
tinued, they accuse NCHA of &C.
counting that is deliberately de.
ceptive. Heretofore, the Home
Builders, under the astute leader
ship of James c. Wilkes, have left
that kind of language to less re-
sponSible witnesses"
In a lengthy discussion of COM
parative costs of construction anc
wage rates, Mr.. Ihlder declared
Home Builders witnesses had mis-
applied statistics supplied by the
NCHA and he protested again that
the private builders have not yet
revealed to the Burton Subcom-
mittee what wage rates they pay
on their projects.
He described Charles William
Hart. rebuttal witness for the Home
Builders. as a candidate for the
degree of doctor of philosophy" and
protested that witness had gone tc
the patiently absurd length" of in
timating that NCHA had substitut-
ed gas ranges for coal ranges in
the V street NCHA houses for the
purpose of showing a profit"
Called Overly Eager.
"The eagerness with which the
Home Builders have sought dur
ing the past seven months for some
plausible accusation is evidenced by
the prominence they give to this
matter of what account should be
debited or credited with an item
of 1921 o." said Mr.. Ihlder.
I'm their belated attempts tc
answer the testimony of Bernard
E. Loshbough (NCHA on construc-
ton costs and standards, the Home
Builders again confess inadequacy
by substituting opinion phrases fol
facts. They again have the eff.
frontery to accuse NCHA of a de.
liberate effort to give an erroneous
conclusion though NCHA had in
vited them to conferences at which
they could raise any question. Had
they accepted. their questions would
then have been answered and their
present contributions to the record
been made impossible
Pay Higher Wages.
Mr.. Ihlder said it was agreed
NCHA paid higher construction
wages, being under the Bacon-Davis
Act, whereas private construction
is not, but he contended this re-
suited in NCHA housing that was
less subject to obsolescence, better
able to stand the ravages of time
The Home Builders witnesses op.

represent but small and special
segment of those business interests
which participate in construction

Mark Twain always was a show
man. I remember him in the the
alter at a performance given by
Julia Marl0we and E. HI. SOthern.
He was seated alone in box. The
air was chilly, he was dressed COM
pletely in white, and with that white
shaggy head of his, took half the
attention away from the stage.

ly been called to the bad condition
of the pavements in this town and
we have been requested quite a
number of times to speak through
our columns in relation to them.
Some people have an idea that an
editor must necessarily become the
supervisor of the town and point
out the improvements necessary to
be made, and condemn and have re-
moved all nuisances, etc, etc. We
have no objection, indeed 1t is a
pleasure to do all that we can to
promote all the interests of the
, town, but as we have Mayor and
Council whose duty it is to attend to
all such matters, we think all COM
plants of this nature should be
made to them. While on this sub
ject, however, we would take occa-
sion to say that many of our side
walks could be improved at very
slight cost, and there are a number
we could name whose ways need
mending."
This was under the caption, 1.-The
Draft-Our Quota? Washington
Sept. IL, 1864, To Col. VIM. H.
Browne: Commencing the draft on
Monday, the 10Th inst, beginning as
far as practicable in those deficient
districts and sub districts where
there is the least volunteering 60
ing on. the quota of every sub-dis-
trict under the present call must be
filled, and the draft will be contin-
ued until it is filled, either by vol
unteering or drafting. The notice
was signed by James B. Fry, Provost
Marshal General. The paper fol-
lowed with the information that no
effort had been made in this district
to procure volunteers and added
that "as our quota is large, the draft
will undoubtedly be carried into
effect very soon. Our people appear
to be sleeping, and if they do not
wake up very suddenly they will
find themselves in the draft"

longing to Samuel Craley, the last

forty thousand one-cent pieces, and
three million, one hundred and thir-

are SO scarce in circulation as to

Waltz King and Queen
Then the movies figured if the
Castles could pack night spots and
Legitimate theaters with their dane
ing, chances were the public in the
hinterlands, who had heard about
Irene and Vernon, would pay money
at the nickelodeons to see the shad-
ows of the famous pair.
So the Castles appeared in "The
Whirl of Life" in 1913. It was
great hit, and the dance craze
spread through every Granny of the
country.
More than two decades ago, in
1920, to be exact, Hollywood discov-
cred its first really great dance star,
Mae Murray-blonde, curvacious,
the original Nell Brinkley girl of the
"Follies," and a dancer to boot.
When she first came to movies she
did western films and was practi-
cally unnoticed until Bob Leonard
and George Fitzmaurice gave her
a chance to dance. In "On With the
Dance" Mae was sensational.
Tripping to Fame
Rudolph Valentino made num-
Der of pictures before Rex Ingram
let him do the tango in "The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and
that single dance with partner
long since forgotten skyrocketed him
to fame.
Joan Crawford, then a young, at
tractive girl, was winning cups for
her Charleston and "black bottom"
at the Coconut Grove and other hot
spots of Hollywood. When she did
the same routine before the cam
eras in such epics as '"The Taxi
Dancer" and "Our Dancing Daugh-
tiers" she became star.
Double Harness
About this time a girl who had at
tracted no special attention and
dancer from the stage were teamed
as second leads in musical star
ring Dolores Del Rio and Gene Ray
mOnd. The picture was Flying
Down to Rio" After it was shown
everyone talked only of the new
dance stars-Ginger Rogers and
Fred Astaire. Following this they
were co-starred in "The Gay Di-
vorcee," in Jerome Kern's Gro
berta," and also 'tThe Life of Irene
and Vernon Castle" the saga of the
two people who actually introduced
.terpsichore to the movies.
The New Era
Toumanova, from the Russian bal
let, has finished her first film, "Days
of Glory" and Hollywood is repeat
ing past mistakes by not letting her
dance. Z0rina and Bar0nOva both
appeared in pictures, and each ap-
pearance makes one want more of
them.
Ann Miller, one of the newer dane
erS, is under contract to Columbia.
Possibly the Kay Kyser picture in
which she's appearing will put her
on top.
Gene Kelly, of ''Pal Joey" on
Broadway, really comes into his
own as a dancer in "Cover Girl. :"
His work in the salter ego" num-
Der, in which he dances as himself
and his double" is an amazing
thing to watch. And, together with
Rita Hayworth, they've got what
we're all looking for-youth. Holly
wood has made stars of many dane
ers, has tried to make dancers of
many stars. But few have ever
managed to gain anything of the
luster of Rita and Gene in "Cover
Girl"
If they don't start another dance
craze in America a lot of people
who have already seen the musical
are going to be very much sur
prised.
