What makes the low-cost house
low cost? That question was asked
of Howard Lelar ] Smith, techni-
cal director of the governments
Economy Housing Program.
All Plans Similar
Mr.. Smith replied: Economy in
the building of houses means that
the greatest usefulness must be
obtained from the smallest space.
There must be economical utliza-
ton of materials Labor costs can
be reduced and materials can be
conserved by planning room di-
mensions which permit the use of
standard length structural mem
berS."
Information on eight low-cost
houses already built in widely
separated parts of the country
shows that construction details
Ire closely similar. This leads to
the conclusion that any FHA-ap-
proved economy house will be
generally the same as any other,
Average cost of the eight houses
was $5,164. Prices ranged from
$3,995 to $6,500. Land was in
cluded in the cost. The average
plot measures 81 by 140 feet.
Conventional on-site construc-
ton methods were used. Exte-
rior siding is either asbestos or
wood. All the houses are pro-
tected by fire-resistant asphalt
roofing, chosen for its combina-
ton of economy and serviceabil-
ity. Where houses are erected in
groups, builders depend on the
wide variety of asphalt shingle
colors to help create distinctive
ness of appearance for each in
dividual home.
Easements Not Included
The average economy house has
q living room, two bedrooms
kitchen and bathroom. None OF
the eight houses has a basement
Provision is made for heating sys-
TENS, the type depending on the
climate.

Dewey Wishes
Truman Health,
| Divine Guidance
By the Assoeiofed Press

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey congratu-
lated President Truman yesterday
on. his forthcoming Inauguration
and wished him good health and
divine guidance. y"
The White House made public a
telegram from Gov. Dewey, the de-
feated Republican presidential can
didate, and the Presidents reply.
The New York Governors mes
sage said:
MY heartiest congratulations to
you upon your Inauguration as
President of the United States. !
join with all other Americans ir
wishing you good health and divine
guidance in your every labor for
the peace of the world and the well
fare of the people of our country
Sincerely yours, Thomas E. Dewey.
Mr.. Truman replied:
MY Dear Gov. Dewey: I deeply
appreciate your message of con-
gratulations. Good wishes such as
yours strengthen me for the tasks
that lie ahead. My warmest thanks
60 to you for this renewed evidence
of the firmness of the foundation
on which our democracy rests. With
all good wishes, sincerely yours,
Harry S. Truman"
Gov. Dewey, who will not attend
the Inauguration, has given as his
reasons the pressure of the current
State legislative session and Other
demands on his time.

Assistants Swamped
By 6,400 Questions on
Inaugural Daily

The biggest quiz show in town is
az Sterling 1865, where the only
payoff is in patience.
Will the Inaugural Committee
provide umbrellas for the uncovered
stands in case of rain? A man with
a brand-new truck will put seats in
it and sell them If he can find a
place to park 1t. When will Mrs.
Truman's and Margaret's orchids
arrive?
Those are questions skinned
right off the top Of 6,400 calls which
pour into the inaugural headquar-
ters section of the Civil Service
Commissions telephone switchboard
every day.
The telephone number-ST. 1855
has 30 incoming trunk lines, and
any hour of the day will find the
board flashing like a suffering
Christmas tree display. When the
telephone company revised the
board to take care Of the commit
tees 30 trunk lines and began op-
erations, the board handled only
l TOO incoming calls the first week
of operation.
Last week, the calls averaged
6,400 per 14-hour day.
Through 1t all, Miss Betty Wal
ters, chief of the telephone section

and every girl at the 11-position
board can put a smile in their voice.
If they don't know the answer,
they'll try to get it.
It required four tries yesterday
including call to the Governors
aide-to find the man who brought
in the Missouri mules for the in
auguration, but it got an answer.
Some of the calls wouldn't be
made If the people would just give
them one more thought" said Miss
Walters, but we make every effort
to give them service"
In addition to the inaugural work
load, the board handles the Civil
Service Commissions regular 80
trunk lines, with some 800 branch
extensions and A Government lines
from other departments. Just to
complicate it further, there Is an
80-line subswitchboard for the de-
partment at the Housing Bureau,
Fourteenth and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV. a few lines to Union Sta
ton and q private line to the White
House.
"One man. obviously very in
dignant. phoned in to find out how
much lumber was used in build
ing the Pennsylvania avenue
stands" Miss Walters said.
Another said he had flag 18
years old that was once owned by
his father. Could he arrange for
some one to carry 1t in the parade?"
One woman,s husband has a
brand-new jeep. Shed like to have
it in the parade. too.
When is parade time? How long
will it take to walk from the Cap
itol to my seat in the stands?"

morrow was settled yesterday, end.
ing a dilemma which had upset
many women"
Mrs. James M. Helm, White House
social secretary, said the proper
dress for women guests will be
length dresses and hats. A
description of Mrs Truman's floor
lenth dress for the occasion led
many women to believe they should
follow her example and appear in
dresses of similar length and with
out hats.
1t was explained, however, that
hostesses usually wear long dresses
while their guests are not expected
to do so.
| Business suits are regarded as
entirely proper for men, but if they
want to don a morning coat ano
striped trousers, they may 60 so.
1t was said these customs regard

propriety at any of the inaugural

Two featured numbers that will be
blasted out on a steam calliope in
President Truman's inaugural pa
rade will be the Missouri Waltz"
and Pistol Packin' Mama"
This was part of the program
outlined by representatives OF the
Cole Bros. Circus, which owns one
of the last old-time steam calliopes
still in use.
At console will be Tom Comstock,
who has been letting off steam with
circus calliopes for years.
The calliope itself and the eight
white percheron horses which have
pulled the 10000-pound "honk"
wagon so many years they can al
most whinny in cadence, are already
here from Louisville.
Patient and even-tempered after
their 32-hour train ride, and still
wearing their harness because they
stand better in harness" the horses
went out to brief pasture at the
Rosecroft Raceway. Oxon Hill, Md,
to primp for the big event.
Horses and calliope were brought
