 Washington, Oct. 20-(Up)-The wars end has precipitated the world into a global housing crisis with the United States the only unscarred nation remaining to lend the re- building program, according to Jacob Crane of National Housing Agency.
 Crane reported 26 nations have sent their housing experts to study United States planning during the past two years in preparation for postwar building program. More are on the way, with Belgium and France planning to open housing study offices in this country. Great Britain has had such an office for some time, Crane said. Crane ex- platned these agencies have duel function of gathering ideas and of purchasing construction materials.
 He said visiting experts are iYl- terested in United States methods of construction and financing, floor planning, materials, and statistical research. .......
 Crane believes the United States has seized the lead in housing as in many industries partially be- cause war halted construction in almost every other country. . Based on British
 He acknowledged that the Unit ed States public housing system is based on the British and that Rus- sian city planning is greatly ad- vanced. He said the United States has borrowed ideas from these countries as well aS from other pro- gresstve nations like Sweden and Brazll. "It's A fair exchange" he reported.
 Crane predicted postwar housing will emphasize individual homes rather than apartment buildings and group projects wherever pos- sible. Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands he feels will probably continue to build many terrace or row type dwellings.
 Cranes predictions indicated no great revolution in construction materials. He said Belgium and France will continue using brick and tiles as formerly.
 Noting that war.devastated cour. tries are interested in both tenn porary and permanent building Crane suggested that the United States developed Hand utilities" project could be adapted aS c tenn. porary measure in temperate clim. ateS where the housing situation Is acute. -.. Slum Clearance .t.
 United States housing experts introduced Hand utilities" projects in Puerto Rico as Slui1 clearance method during the war when con. structioi1 materials were unavail- able. Land was cleared, divided into plots, and provided with saf1i- tary facilities. squatterS and slum dwellers were then allowed to build their own mobile shacks on the site.
 Crane pointed out that 1t is the general housing program that in. terests most countries not just sliim clearance. He said most gov- ernments have realized they must assist ii1 housing programs. He cited examples of Britain, United States and Russia oil of which are aiding war veterans to buy or build their own homes.
 Crane has been sent to leading cities in Latin America as well as to Britain, France and Italy to consult on their housing programs. During the past two years he has planned tours for and advised housing representatives from more than 25 countries,

INTERIOR DECORATION
sY THE MAN IN THE TowR


This is the season to accelerate, The time to daub and decorate. To strike new note in color,
 To make things brighter, not duller. This is the season to get away from drabnesS, Those monotoneS conducive to sadness. To take brush to ceilings and walls To add touch to up and downstairs halls. This is the season to go a la Louis, The French note and all that sort of hooey. To hang new pictures, lay new rugs, To decorate the mantel with figures and mugs. This is the season to remodel and remake, To make genuine masterpiece out of fake, To make things look sort of what they ain't, To splash and daub if you can get the paint

Editor of Tall Towers-Tt is established fact, that changing from military back to civilian life does and programs being broadcast are painting the home coming veteran as future racketeer; fellow, who when confronted with the slightest Encouragement in civilian lfe and because he has been taught to fight and use weapons will assume the role of public menace In the face of such opposition it is little wonder that many CT dons his blue serge with doubts as to what the future holds for him.
 The men who are returning home daily are merely looking for place in their communities where they can continue living they did before the war SO rudely intervened The life they have lived has not been one of petty gas meat and cigarette shortages It has been eternity of pain hunger and seemingly endless fight ing. The returning serviceman justly deserves our undying gratitude for his many noble sacrifices cer- tainy not the uncertainty and doubt he is receiving from some minimizing people.-S. s.

THE SECRET OF THE GROTTO
Continued from page secen,

of course, they didn't know any
thing at all
II ran up to the house and
put the andiron back, just before
Mother and Father came in again.
They asked what had happened to
Alb and the Chinee woman, and l
said Alb had said they were going
to walk down the hill to the Point
and take a ride in his boat in the
moonlight.
ut was just the kind of thing
they were doing in those days, and
Mother and Father weren't sur
prised. Father said good riddance.
He didn't like to have such disre-
spectful goings-on in his house,
and he was right.
after they we're both asleep l
got up and got shovel from the
barn and came back down here and
did lot of work. 1t took me long
time
Then when l was finished, l
went down to the Point and rigged
Abs boat and pushed it out. There
was quite a wind picking up by
that time. Then l put the shovel
back in the barn and went right
to bed.
"AFrERwARDs l remembered
about the andiron, and l came
downstairs again and washed it.
Naturally, had to wash the other
one at the same time, so they'd
both look the same.
Next morning they found the
boat capsized. Alb was right good
swimmer, but folks figured that his
Chinee wife wasn't. They weren't
surprised. They'd figured all along
that she had some heathen evil
spell over him.
1T was kind of funny, thought,
that they didn't find the bodies.
but after a while all the talk died
down and everybody said it was
probably for the best, whatever
had happened. Nobody thought of
me in connection with it at all, and
from that day to this l haven't
told a SOUL"
She rose, chin tilted high, and
reached for Herbert's arm.
Staring, the others fairly fell
away from her.
But you mean," somebody
stammered, that you - you mean
you - that you really -"

of extra work"
Only Trudie and George accom-
panied them to their car. The
others huddled, buzzlng, on the ter
race, some of them forgetting their
drinks, others pouring fresh drinks
fast.
at - Well, it's been very nice
to have had you," Trudie said
quiveringly.
Il bet it has," said Miss Ander-
son. "All right, Herbert. l know
where the step is"
She was chuckling with glee be-
fore they reached the entrance of
the drive.
Herbert clucked his tongue and
shook his head. -'You shouldn't
make up stories in front of people
like that. Gramma! Why. they'll
believe it! Why, it'll be all around
that -"
Good for EN-" she said, still
chuckling.

suddenly asked.

Miss Anderson leaned back then
and let herself really laugh. They
couldn't hear her - couldn't even
see her, now that Herbert had
turned into the road.
They probably need the exer-
cise," she gasped.
Then she sobered, Strengthened.

Asks Additional
Contribution For
Welfare Unit Here

Last night, at meeting of
county commissioners. letter
was read by Mrs. Fernando
Cainus. requesting the board to
double the amount it is cont
ributing monthly to child wei
fare work in Key West. The
amount now given is $500 a
month. The request was filed for
action when the next budget is
made up.
A letter was read from the
Child Home Society of Florida,
asking for contributions to its
fund, but Mrs. James Fort, head
of the local branch of the State
Welfare Board, said that that
board was doing work here for
the society, and that she did not
think the contribution was neces-
Sary. The letter was ordereu
filed.
Several other requests for fin
ancial assistance from the county
were received, and in one case
money was granted to pay for
the care of child in the mu-
nicipal hospital.
