How To Reduce Rents

IF you hear some screaming dur \ ing the next few weeks from your local real estate and mortgage business big-shots about the Taft Ellender-Wagner bill, it'll be be- cause they're being hit where it hurts most.
 A proposal is being put forward originating with the Veterans of Foreign Wars-which would reduce the rental or sales price on apart ments built under federal mortgage insurance from $8O to $50 month for a three-bedroom unit. This enormous saving to families now searching for housing would be achieved by cutting the interest rate on mortgages insured by the fed eral government from 5%o 10 2h@o.
 When the TEW bill was passed by the Senate, the 5@o mortgage interest charge was approved. Gov ernment bonds-which are just as riskless as a gOvernment-insured mortgage as far as investors are concerned = pay 23o interest. There's no reason, the VFW fig ures, why the mortgage business should collect all this extra gravy for a riskless investment.
 Especially, they say, therere's no justification for the 5% interest when a 21aTo rate would mean a difference in rent or purchase of $8 a month for each room in the housing unit being bought or rent ed

was assisted by two soloists, Britton

tional Symphony Orchestra. 1t was
possibly, the first homage OF TINS
kind paid to Mozart in the city since
heretofore there have not been many
sufficiently well-organized groups OF
musicians to make such an under
taking feasible. The festival Will
consist of five more Sunday con-
certs, given through October 81, and
comprise two more orchestral con-
certs, a piano recital and two even
ings of chamber music.
The attendance, which turned out
to hear two symphonies and two
concerted numbers with soloists, eX-
ceeded by far the capacity of the
court. People stood four deep wher-
ever space permitted and sat on
floors in adjoining halls. The pro-
gramming of the flute and harp

the greater attraction, and justly
so, because of its unusual character
and fine execution. In spite of the
trifiing mishap in the first move
