Baha'is To Discuss:
Negroes In History

Miss Arlene Costanten will pre-
sent a discussion "The Negro in
our History" at HOO am. Sunday,
at the Bahai Center, 1876 West
Van Buren. The public is invited.
A recent speaker at the weekly
Baha'i meeting was Frank S. Mitt-
walsky of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a
former Phoenician. He reviewed
Prof. A. Cressy Morrison's book
"Man Does Not Stand Alone" in
which the author stresses that the
Universe, the world and the things
thereof could not exist and func-
ton as they do unless they were
planned, designed, created, en-
dowed and executed by IA great en-
gineering Intelligence which we
call God. Man has been endowed
by God with the power of reason
whereby he is distinguished from
lower animals.
Mr.. Mittwalsky recalls his ar
rival here with his family in 1907
when Phoenix was but small
town of about 10000, and automo-
biles were in their infancy, no
paved streets and few sidewalks.
Cars were sometimes stuck in the
mire for days at time. He is in
spired with the wonderful growth
and improvements 40 years have
brought.

ateS.

ton of disaster relief any place in

in Arizona are prepared to give
leadership in directing any local

MIu570,

No increase in the G. /. loan in
terest rate from 40 to 4s% will be
made at this time, Carl r. Gray,
Jr,. Administrator of Veterans At
fairs, announced today.
Section 1O3 of Public Law 901 OF
the 80th Congress authorizes the
Administrator of Veterans Affairs,
with the consent of the Secretary
of the Treasury, to set by regula-
ton a maximum interest rate OF
1870 on loans guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration if it is de-
tern1ined that the loan market de-
mandS the increase,
Mr.. Gray's decision not to In
crease the rate was reached after
an exhaustive study of all factors
involved. He said today: II have
consulted extensively with Govern
ment leaders, individual veterans,
lenders and the veterans service
organizations throughout the coun-
try.
my principal responsibility and
duty is to our veterans. In my stud
les OF this question, have reached
the conclusion that an increase in
rates would not be in their best in
terest, as the evidence fails to in
dicate an increased rate will make
more houses available to veterans"
For the last seven months, Mr..
Gray said, he had visited installa-
tions OF the Veterans AdminiStra-
ton in all 48 states of the union.
On his visits to the various sta
tions, he has consulted with Loan
Guaranty officials of the Veterans
Administration and with local
groups of lenders and Of veterans.
While their opinions were not
unanimous, an Overwhelming pre-
ponderance indicates that the de-
crease in the number of veterans;
loans being guaranteed was due to-
factors other than the interest rate.
