May Buy Home With But
5 Per Cent Cash On Line

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-(R
The possibility of buying a
low-cost home on a down pay
ment as little as five per cent
is embraced in a new housing
program proposed in the Senate.
That would mean $3.50 down
on a $4,000 cottage, although
there usually are transfer charg-
es which would boost the initial
payment somewhat.
Senators Wagner (D-NY), Ell
lender (D-La) and Taft Or
Ohio) agreed to sponsor Jointly
a general housing bill including
that idea among special induce
ments for private builders to con-
struct homes costing $4,000 or
less.
One of these Is government
guarantees of mortgages up TO
IS per cent Of the value of low
cost homes built under FILA.
That would permit the down
payment as little as five per
cent.
The Senator'S measure would
let the Federal Housing Admin
istrator have discretionary auth
GRITTY in deciding just what price
homes should be included. But
it says the price could not ex-
coed $4,000 in any case.
If buildings costs were low
in the South, for instance, the
administrator might limit the
program there to housing cost.
ing no more than $4,000 while
approving $4,000 ceilings in
higher cost areas.
Interest charges on such mort
cages could not run more than
four per cent plus one half of
one per cent insurance charge.
Payments on the mortgage could
run for as long as 80 years.
The plan also provides for
mortgage guarantees up to 95
per cent of housing develop

GOLD BEACH, Ore, Nov. Is
Up Help came one day toe
late for 78-year-old Earl Stilson
who lay pinned beneath his
overturned automobile for ID

Stilson suffered broken leg
and other injuries and lay soak

drink. Why can / not be found?
Not far off road"
'MOCKED' BY SUN
The following day he describ-
ed the bright sunshine as "Sa-
tan's mockery." But stilson af-
firmed his faith that 'He (God)
will not leave me here"
Sunday evening, not knowing
he had almost another week to
live. he wrote:

Frenchwomen, Voting for the First Time,
| Name 33 Women to Posts in Congress
By ROSETTE HARGROVE
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

PARIS-For the first time In
history French women will have
a voice in this country's govern
ment. In the new National AS
sembly, 33 out of 522 represen-
tatives are women. Seventeen
are Communists; ten represent
MRP. progressive Catholic par
ty; five are Socialists and one
Independent G pre- e n S the
peasants. There were 258 wo-
men candidates.
Thus, despite their lack of
apprenticeship, French women
have accomplished more than
their American sisters have in
the course of Is years of fran
chise. 1t is a matter of conjec-
ture whether the granting OF
suffrage to women is responsible
for the fact that they comprise
almost six per cent of the AS
sembly membership.
Their votes may explain, too.
the present reduction of the
numerous prewar political par
ties TO three major ones. Women
all over the country, conscious
of their new civic duty, flocked
in great plumbers to the polls.
Nearly all women who were
elected were active in resistance
movements during the war.
Some were deported to horror
camps and the husbands of 9TH
ers were victims of German op
preston. Several are widows
of political leaders. Ranging in
age from the early 30's to the
COS, the women represent
cross section of classes with
large sprinkling of intellectuals
and social service workers.
ORGANIZED RESISTANCE

France she started organizing
women to resist the occupation.
Arrested in February 1913 by
Vichy police, she served five
months solitary confinement in
Sante prison, Later, she was
deported to Ravensbruck, where
she was liberated by the Rus
slams.

First we shall endeavor to solve

to malnutrition, ten per cent of
the children under IL are not
