ago point by point. first taking up
the Presidents claim that the ac-
tual cost of the housing program
would be only about half the real
estate interests estimate of $l9,-

He said the actual authorize
ton figure, worked out by Snyder
Farr 81 Co., Washington public ac-
countants, is $l9.312.500. 900 over
a period of years.
The measure should be cut in
half right now, he said. "if those
persons behind the public housing
bill really believe that the poll
ticians operating the program
would leave untouched half the
money they are permitted by the
bill to spend"
Cost Per Unit Challenged.
AS for Mr.. Truman's figure Of
"at most" $8,465 per dwelling
unit. Mr.. Maenner divided $l6,-
600, ,O00, 900 in subsidies by 1,05o.-
600 proposed units and said:
"I don't know how the Presi-
dent divided 16 by ! and got an
answer of g."
He declared the measure lacks
any definite dollar income limit
for families to occupy public hous-
ing and said proponents brushed
aside efforts to write in such q
limit.
In connection with Mr.. Tru-
mans denial of any socialistic
trend in the proposal, Mr.. Maen-
ner commented:
There is no unsocialistic meth
cd by which you can socialize the
ownership of 1,050,000 dwellings.
I. It SOCIALISM, always moves

with the Presidents accusation
that real estate lobbyists have
launched O deliberate campaign
Of Misrepresentation"
Mf. Martin told q reporter 1t

The Republican leader added
that opposition mainly is from

Napoleon Couple
EARLY Arrivals
At Coop Hall

When Coop headquarters al

day morning a Napoleon, Ohio
couple were on hand and wait
ing to- purchase a joint member
ship in the Toledo Consumers
Cooperative, it was reported by
Mrs. Margaret Christensen, Co
OPP office secretary, a member
of the Packard unit of Local IL.
Mr.. and Mrs. Omer Kurtz, of
1910 Detroit Avenue, Napoleon,
had visited the recent Coop
sale at the AFL Carpenters Hall,
612h Huron Street, and liked
the groceries they bought, so
they decided to join the con-
sumers' organization.
MIR. Kurtz, incidentally, is a
member of the UAW-CIO. 1t is
believed that the joint member
ship gives the Kurtz's title to
the claim of most distant Co

since the Bureau began to
calculate the in d ex on q
monthly basis in late 1910.
On February Is, however, the
j n d e x was still 09 per cent
higher than a year ago; 27 per
cent over June 1916; and 81 per
cent above the preWar level OF
August 1899.
Chiefly responsible for the de-
crease from January to February
was a drop of 25 per cent in
food prices. There were smaller
declines for apparel and house
furnishings.
The substantial drop in food
prices, much more than the usual
seasonal decline, m r k e d the
seventh consecutive monthly de-
crease. The food index on Febru-
airy Is was 8 per cent below the
July 1948 peak; 212 per cent
lower than a year ago; and 81
per cent above the June 1946
level.
Food prices declined from mid
January to mid-February in all
56 cities surveyed and some
foods, including eggs, fats and
oils, and dairy products, reached
the lowest levels in a year and
a half or more.
The decrease from January to
February was led by reductions
of Ia per cent for eggs, 8.5 per
cent for fats and oils, and 6 per
cent for the meat, poultry and
fish group.
Prices of all cuts of beef were
lower than a month earlier, with
reductions ranging from 6 cents
a pound for hamburger to 10
cents a pound for round steak.
Pork prices declined over 3 per
cent on the average, led by de-.
creases of IL per cent for salt
pork and 51a per cent for bacon.
Chicken prices were 5 per cent
lower. Prices of lard and oleo-
margarine dropped sharply dur
ng the month.

Here April p
400 Delegates
Expected At z
Day Session

The third annual state con-
vention of the Ohio Catholic
War Veterans, to be held here
April % through "a, will be
dedicated to seeking ways for
greater participation of veter-
ans in civil life as citizens first
and veterans secondly, accord
ing to a call issued today by
Don McQuade of Toledo, State
CWV Commander.
''The 400 delegates who will
J attend the Convention will bring
back to their individual Posts
and Chapters specific program
in answer to the demagoques
and self-seekers who wish to
create a new minority in our
country-the veterans.
''The veterans themselves re-
sent this trend so recently shown
in the pension bill. We wish a
return to civilian life in the
minds of our fellow-citizens as
well as in our own minds. AS
veterans we are bound together
in fraternal, spiritual and emo
tional ties, but we are also
bound together and to the peo-
pie of our country by our COM
mon citizenship, Mr.. McQuade
said, and added:
eve seek neither preferential
nor discriminatory action for or
against veterans. We ask no
false promises or hopes TO poison
..aour minds and set us apart from
our fellow-citizens. We wish to
accept our responsibilities in
civil life as all good citizens ac-
cept theirs. We hope for greater
interest among veterans in do
mestic and international prob
lens so that they will be in
formed citizens. And, above all,
as veterans we plead our par
ticular yearning for world peace
by dependence of men, nations,
and the United Nations, upon
the agency of God to bring it
about"
All sessions of the convention
will take place at the Com
modore Perry Hotel here. Ar
rangements are in charge of
William c. Calvin, General
Chairman, and Florence O'Con-
i nor, Auxiliary Chairman.

meeting of the Bellevue,
Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
"You gentlemen may not
agree with me, but ! say to you
that our economy will be stab
iliZed through increasing the
purchasing power of Labor and
the farmer by two-thirds. And
if any of you care to stick
around after this meeting l will
be glad to prove to you that my
figures are correct" the speaker
added.
Lincoln told of an oil COM
pany enterprise in which $780,
900 was invested in Arabia a
few years ago, with net profits
having already totalled ninety
two and one-half million dollars
The veteran cooperator stated
that in the past two years the
majority of all funds spent by
the Rockefeller Foundation had
gone into the formation of CO.
operative enterprise the world
over in order to help people to
help themselves. Linco ! n
brought home his idea quite
pointedly VIII n he remarked,
you men might call me a COM
munist because my views are so
different than some of yours,
but I'm sure no one here would
say that Nelson Rockefeller is
one. (He had learned about the
Rockefeller coop aid while
meeting with the gentleman
three weeks previously.)
A large part of the meeting
was turned over to discussion
of the cooperative housing prof.
ect of the Ohio Farm Bureau,
which will be underway soon in

chosen for such an undertaking.
