Former Louisville Mayor
Named To Crack Build
ing Bottlenecks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-R-
President Truman, acting to avert
further sky-rocketing Of home
prices" today called for legislation
to fix price ceilings on houses. i.
In a companion move aimed to
relieve what he termed an acute
housing shortage, the president an
nounced at his news conference
that building materials will be back
under a priority system in few
days.
Under the system, about so per
cent of all construction supplies
will be earmarked for single or
multiple dwellings costing $4,000
or less unit.
The priorities program also will
set up preferences for veterans in
the purchase or rental of such
housing.
A third step in the new overall
housing program calls for immedi-
ate release to states and local gov
ernments of any surplus Federal
property suitable for housing. In
cluded under this plan, already put
in operation by the Surplus Prop
erty Administration, are Army and
Navy barracks and dormitories.
To search out and attempt to
crack all bottlenecks affecting
home construction, Mr.. Truman ap-
pointed Wilson Wyatt, former may.
or of Louisville, to be housing ex-
peditor in the Office of War Mobi-
lization and Reconversion.
A bill is pending in Congress to

away from the old traditions

back on the Turkish border.
They were told.
The Molokans' desire to re-

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

There is a small colony Of them
in San Francisco, larger COM
munities of several thousand
families in the Fresno and Los
Angeles areas. They made good
citizens, pay their taxes and
they never cause any trouble.
But in 1899 a group of these
Molokans from the Los Angeles
colony wanted to return 10 their
homeland and they came to the
Turkish Embassy in Washington
to see that could be done about
it. Their reason for wanting to
leave America was this:
One of the prophets of the
Molokans had dream. In this
dream it was revealed to him
that the whole world was going
to be engulfed in horrible war.
The United States was going to
be involved in this war, accord
inc to the prophet, and the only
country in the world that would
mt be Involved would be Tur-
key.
So the Molokans wanted to go
back where they came from to
live in peace.
Well, the Turkish Embassy
staff and Commissioner Ahmet
Emin Yalman thought this was
very nice, but a little bit crazy.
If there was war they figured
Turkey would be among the
first countries to be involved
and the United States would be
the last. Why didn't the Molo-
kans realize that and stay where
they were in peaceful America?
THEY'RE NOW LIVING
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
So the Molokans came back
to California, and here they
have s.aycd. But Ahmet Emin
Yalman, now an editor of a
newspaper in Turkey, never for
got the strange dream of the
Molokan prophet, and when
editor Yalman arrived in Sa

SAN FRANCISCO - To All
met Emin Yalman, president
representative of the Turkish
delegation to the United Nations
Conference, has come one of the
strangest and pleasantest expert
ences of the whole San Francis
co meeting, marking the end of
another, smaller search for
peace that began back in 1889.
Or maybe it began a coople of
hondred yer before that. Any
way.
III 1899 Yalman was Turkish
commissioner to the World S
Fa inaNew York.
In June of that year there
came to the Turkish Embassy
in Washington a delegation of
Molokans from California. They
wanted to migrate to Turkey
and the case came to the atten-
ton of Commissioner Yalman in
New York because it was in the
nature of new business.
Now the Molokans are love-
ly people, a clean and humble
people something like the Amer
lean Quakers. The word "Molo-
kan" means "a drinker of milk"
They eat no pork. Molokans are
pacifists.
Originally they came from
what used to be Southern Rus
STA, though their homelands are
now in Turkey on the Russian
border. Over the centuries they
had built up their own customs
and culture in which the desire
f.. peace was always dominant
influence.
SO THEY CAME TO AMERICA
When they grew tired of the
continual warning and massa-
ores on the Turkish Russian bor-
der, some of the younger spirits
migrated to America to find
peace. Here they prospered.

FARM REAL ESTATE VALUES
ADVANCE

Farm real estate values in Mary
land have advanced As per cent since
the beginning of the war, and are
continuing to advance at about one
per cent per month. A. B. Hamilton
Extension farm management special
list at the University of Maryland
points out that the rate Of rise in
land values in the present war is sim
liar to that which took place during
the first World War and ended in the
crash of land values in 1921.
Many farmers, says Hamilton, be
lieve that land boom is as PREACHER
GUS as quicksand. They know that
the first land boom was largely re-
sponsible for the fear and failure
that became the lot of many farm
families during the depression. A
repetition of this land boom is now
being dreaded more and more, and
many believe that 1t should not and
need not happen again.

MARYLAND's FARM FRONT

Maryland's 10000 farmers either
soon will be or have already been
contacted by their respective elected
AAA Community Committeeman. to
discuss 1915 farm crop plans for
maximum wartime food production
and to point out to farmers the at
tractive features of the current AAA
program in an effort to obtain maxi
mum participation, it has been re-
ported by Joseph H. Blandford,
Maryland AAA Chairman.
The farm-by-farm contact was ini-
tiated about month ago, it was ex-
planned, and is expected to be large
ly completed by March L. The COM
mitteemen in each interview deter
mine a farmers 1915 cropping inten-
lions and then make any suggestions
for crop adjustment that will result
in maximum food production and
maximum payment under the provi-
sions of the 1916 AAA program.
These plans are then recorded ON
form, called "1945 Maryland Farm
Plan" A copy of the completed form
Is lGlI Will IA6 ldIA0E dAu OtuCI
copies are filed in the county AAA
office. The form serves the farmer as
a means of keeping record of the
soil conserving parctices carried out
on the farm during the year and also
for reporting his 1916 performance
20 the county AAA committee. If only
one person shares in the practices
performed on the farm, the complet-
ed form will serve as the AAA's Off
cial report of 1945 performance, in
determining government payment
earned.
The farm plan," said Blandford,
is tool to help Maryland farmers
build and conesrve the fertility of
their soil and meet production needs
for 1945. AS in 1914, cooperating
farmers will not be required to file
a farm plan to participate in the
1915 AAA program. Also, the signing
of the farm plan in no way obligates
the producer, it was explained. How
ever, a farmers signature will indi-
ate his desire to cooperate in the
tood production program.
