The ruling was made by Federal
Judge Louis e. Goodman here this
week after Assist. U. s. Attorney
Robert B. Mcmillan objected to the
inclusion of the new names in the
suit.
Judge Goodman, however, ruled
that they could be added to the or
iginal list Of persons whom he had
previously declared rights since the
remuneration was made under "du-
ress."
One local paper pointed out that
the additional time granted will
prevent the $500 renunciants from

Political A JOINT commit
Patronage tee of the 60th
Congress found
that the Federal Public Housing
Authority, even with q dor
mant" program, employed 6,57l
persons and used up budget Of
more than $l1, 100000 a year. A
major part of FPHA's activi.
ties were devoted to creating Q
desire on the part Of the public
to depend completely upon
benevolent government. Nor has
the FPHA overlooked its oppor-
tunities to set up systems of po-
litical patronage.
The T-E-W bill calls for $780,
600 units Of housing over the
next five years. Despite the ire

to satisfy many q politician.
Think of the possibilities for
keeping the party vote in line.
Why couldn't the government
projects be put up where they
would bring in the vote?
Despite all these dangers. the
sorry part is that public housing
can give US no expanded produce
ton of materials, no additional
skilled construction workers, In
short, it cannot relieve the hous-
ing shortage. Besides real dis
enlargement to more private
housing construction, the govern
ment would extend its powers

PUBLIC HOUSING proposals,
like so many other measures that
would take America way down
the road to Socialism, come up in
nearly every session Of Congress.
A government housing program,
known as the Taft Ellender-

through the Senate. Il failed in
the House. Bills Of this type have
ct least nine lives. and you can
expect to see more Of them later
It sounds good TO nearly every
body to say that '1ow income"
families are entitled to housing.
When the real issues are all
elouded up with emotion and sem
timentalism, there are some who
will vote 'yes" without taking
the trouble to get down to facts.

The law states that q family

Yet, half the families in the pro-
ject have incomes above the min

 HAVE PROBLEM AS
 RESULT AUTO AWARD

Officers of the Alaska Department Veterans of Foreign Wars, are hop ing today that they can persuade MT. B. c. Hagen, of Fairbanks. to do one of two things.
 Hagen, last night, was declared to be the recipient of the VFW auto award which means that it will cost the VFW approximately $400 to ship the car from Seattle to Fairbanks. This would be all right, under or dinary circumstances but, the VFW did not receive enough money to cover all expenses of the award.
 The organization hopes that it can either persuade Hazen to accept a check for the cars value or can en- tice him to make trip to Seattle and then drive the car back to Fair banks over the Alaska Highway, thus saving some of the money.
