! for not starting court action agains
those who sold them shoddy houses
several of the Calhoun Lane veterans
are threatening to bypass the depart

The Department of Justices treat
ment of the Calhoun Lane Gls is the
same as accorded to the thousands
of other veterans who have been the
victims of INSCRIPTIONS contractors
and builders in all parts of the coun-
try. Delay, excuses, neglect and
downright evasion of doing their
duty have marked the words and
actions of the Department of Justice
from Attorney General Tom Clark
on down the line.
Why This Neglect? -.
During the past six months the Cal
houn Lane veterans houses have been
inspected and double-checked by in
spectors and underwriters from the
Helena and Washington offices of the
FILA; by inspectors from the Office
Of Housing Expediter at San Francis

Billings construction unions have as
sisted the government employees.

working conditions, higher honor in
the community, all these are not diff
cult to attain But first things come
first.
Who will make these reforms? Who
indeed? Only the brave, only the in
spired, only the determined. Reforms
are always made at a cost-but not
SO dear cost as it is not to make
them. The word teacher is great
word. In the East, where wisdom has
always been revered, wise man is
called Teacher 1t is the highest term
of respect and when it is used, all
look and listen to hear what the
Teacher will say. The greatest hunger
of the human soul is still to learn
wisdom, to find goodness. In our
country something Of the glory has
passed from thatfword Teacher. Let
it be restored.

Housing Expeditor at San Francisco.
Each inspection confirmed the fact
that these houses are not worth half
what the veterans paid for them.
Among the reasons reported for not
starting criminal action first against
guilty parties is that it might injure
a suit for recovery of damages by
the veterans. In similar cases at Sac
and Fresno, California, the
criminal suit was instituted first. At
a recent meeting of the veterans and
their wives, John Bonner. Helena at

Washington, C. (UENS) Am

S0th Congress has been the worst
in history" 1t claims credit for hav-
ing secured enactment of ia bills
which it initiated or supported and
says the Legion enjoyed most sue

AS an organization with sordid
strike-breaking history the Legion
naturally pats itself on the back for
the Taft-Hartley law; because it
speaks for the big brass, it takes
credit for getting the draft law
passed; and because long ago it was
captured by Wall Street, it is particu-
larly proud of the job it did for the
Marshall Plan which promotes anti
Democratic governments abroad
Beaming with success, the Legion
now calls upon the Special Congress
Session to pass other pending laws
which it sponsors. On top of the list
is Universal Military Training and
the Mundt-Nixon bill
nowhere on, tne Le9lOnS nOnOr

word about support for a housing
bill to give homes to the desperate

give millions of southern veterans
the right to vote and end discrimi-
nation in our armed forces.

Some Calhoun Lane els Reported Tired of
Delay-Threaten To Swear Out Complaints

that the Calhoun Lane houses are not
built according to the plans and speci-
fications submitted by the builders
and approved by the FILA for loan
security. The houses are worth less
than half the $4,000 the GIs paid for
each unit Yet, for some reason, the
Department of Justice refuses or neg
lects to start action in federal court.
Why?
The Calhoun Lane veterans are
not only heavy losers on their shod
dy-built houses, but they also suffer
from tax pains. When they bought
their houses, they state, they were
told by the lending agency, the Sc
curity Trust and Savings Bank, that
the yearly taxes would not exceed
$50 per unit. The veterans all COM
piled with the request that they de-
rosit SIS per month to take care of
the taxes when due. NoW-some
have told us-they receive tax state
ments from Yellowstone county in
forming them that their tax is about
s24o or more. per unit.
Then, added to the swindle-built
houses and large increases in taxes.
he veterans received the sad word
n September. 1947. that Yellowstone
county holds a special Improvement
assessment tax against each unit
This tax amounts to about 1888, and
natures in ten years. The principal
md interest in ten years will amount
o about s1,400 per unit
There may be one or two of the
calhoun Lane els who can stand a
eavy loss on their house. but most
f the GIs cannot. Several have told
IS that they have a hard time meet
lg current expenses and do not see
ow they can raise the large amount
eeded to pay their tax bill.

fenneII's Nomination
AGAIN Goes 10 Senate

President Truman sent to the
Senate again today the nomination
of Judge Aubrey B. Fennell for a
l0-year term as a member of the
Municipal Court of Appeals. The
nomination first was sent to the
Senate less than so days ago but no
action was taken on it before Con-
gress adjourned.
The nomination was sent to the
Senate despite a decision by the
Republican congressional high COM
mand not to consider any appoint
ments at this session.
Judge Fennell's position thus be-
comes identical with that of Edward
A. Tamm, former assistant to FBI
Director j. Edgar Hoover, whose
name has twice been sent to the
Senate for confirmation as an asso-
ciate justice of District Court.
On June Is, the Senate District
Committee tabled the nomination
of Judge Fennell because Wash
ington attorney protested he was
"diSagreeable" to attorneys who ap-
peared before him. Judge Fennell
was strongly Endorsed by the Dis
trict Bar Association, however.
He will continue to serve until
confirmed or until a successor is
qualified.
Judge Fennell is graduate OF
