Board of Overseers on April 10,
1850. At that time DR.. Bunche
accepted the appointment but re-
ceived leave of absence because of

Comeback Is SOUGHT
For lustron Homes;
War Declared on RFC
BY the Associated Press

Carl G. Strandlund, whose plans
to revolutionize the home building
industry crashed about his ears,
Is trying to stage a comeback.
His goal, the industrialist told
reporters yesterday, is to rescue
his big Columbus, Ohio, prefabri-
Gated housing plant from credit
ors, get it back in production, and
make his critics eat their words.
Mr.. Strandlund said he is de
claring war; on the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp which he acv
cuses of "sabotaging" his plans by
attempting to put his Lustron
Corp. out of bushes.
The fate of the firm is being
fought out in court.
THE RFC has tried to sabo-
tage me-" Mr.. Strandlund said.
My telephone wires have been
tapped, I believe. while people
were investigating my operations.
have been hit hard, but I'm COM
ing back. I hold the winning
hand"
Expects To Be In Charge Soon.
Mr.. Strandlund refused to dis
close how he intends to raise the
money needed to get the now
IDLE Lustron plant back into oper-
alton. The RFC estimates It'll
might take between SIS million and
$40 million to get its machinery
into production on minimum
paying basis.
Mr.. Strandlund said, however,
he expects to be in charge "in
Few months at the outside" The
plant was closed when the RFC
seized its assets and properties to
satisfy its claims for S36 million
In unpaid loans.
Mr.. Strandlund said military
officials have shown interest in
purchasing Lustron's enamaled
steel houses for the armed forces.
He contends the RFC foreclosed
on the mortgage just as he was
ABOUT to get Lustron on a paying
basis.
He interprets a Circuit Court
OF Appeals decision handed down
Monday as invalidating the RFC
seizure and opening the way for
reorganization through bank
ruptcy proceedings now under way
In the United States District Court
in Chicago.
Claims Support in Congress.
Mr.. Strandlund said he has "a
lot OF support in Congress" for
his demands that the RFC be
stripped of all Jurisdiction over
the loans. He wants the loans
transferred to the Housing and
Home Finance Agency, another
Government bureau.
He said he will file suit as a
taxpayer to require the transfer
unless the RFC makes the switch
shortly after Congress recon-
veneS in November"
He refused to elaborate on whv
ne believed the HHFA would be
more helpful, but said his rela-
tlons with RFC "are so strained
negotiations with them are no
longer possible"
Mr.. Strandlund said he has
been told-he didn't say by whom
that the Federal Bureau of In
vestlgation and other agencies
have "pried into my affairs, try
Ing to find out whether I had
broken some laws or stolen money
from Lustron. They couldn't find
9 thing"

insure that visitors have been i'm
munized from contagious diseases
SO you won't carry any fresh
maladies within their borders.
In the case of Liberia you will
have to have proof of vaccination
within the past two years and in
noculations for typhoid, typhus
and yellow fever. Your own ply
sician can give you these innocul-
atoms except for that of yellow
fever which you get at the U. S.
Public Health service, or perhaps
your local board of health.
Then select your route and
mode of travel. There are four
steamship lines from the United
States which specialize in African
travel. These are the Farrell lines,
Delta Steamship company, Elder
Dempster lines and the Barbar
lines. All sail from New York ex-
cept the Delta lines whose home
port is New Orleans.
These are all cargo boats, that
is, their principal business is too
convoy freight between the
United States and Africa but each
carries a limited number Of pass
engers, usually IL. 1t is advisable
to make your reservations well in
advance because they are normal
ly booked up weeks ahead. Most of
the lines go directly to Liberia
then down the coast to various
British and French colonies touch
ing Liberia again on their return
home.
This gives Liberia comparative
ly frequent service but travel has
been so heavy that unless you
make arrangements ahead you
may find yourself waiting a
month on one side or the other.
The steamship fare one way is
1915 although one line which takes
you down the coast for an extra
three weeks has raised it's price
to $3.50. Fare includes excellent
staterooms, two to a room, private
bath and far more food than the
average person can eat. Passage
by boat normally takes from IL to
IA days.

Reveals Great Progress
and see.

AAA oSSs
First it will be we'll to get your
passport, the official paper which
accredits you as a citizen of the
United States when you go visit
ing foreign lands. That you can
secure by calling at the passport
division in your local federal
building or writing directly to the
U. S. State department, Some
times there is considerable red
tape in getting your passport so
it is we'll to get that out of the
way early, allowing from four to
six weeks to process your passport
papers.
You might find it profitable to
get your passport pictures in ad-
vance also. They require three or
four photos, two inches by two.
The quickie photos made near
passport bureaus are usually the
worlds worst pictures. My wife,
Eta, is a handsome woman but
her passport photo made every
customs Inspector shrek with
mirth. els this supposed to be
you"? they would cry and then
laugh until she was embarrassed.
Then decide what countries or
colonies you wish to visit and
secure visas for these areas. The
visa is a permit issued by foreign
countries emitting visitors to cross
their boundaries. The details of
buying your tickets, securing
your passport and visas and even
the arranging of accommodations
you can we'll afford to turn over
to a travel agency.
There r agencies in every
town equipped to handle every de-
tail of your journey. Select one
which is accustomed to ironing
out any little question of color
which may arise, or one which is
willing to learn how to. In Africa,
of course, as a traveller you have
no color problem.

MONROVIA, Liberia (ANP)-
1t is remarkable how small the
world is becoming. Radio, the
airplane, fast steamers and stream
lined trains have annihilated dis
lance. Today we are next door
neighbors to lands which yester-
day seemed ages away.
Even Africa is almost within
casual calling distance. Step into
a plane at LaGuardia Field in New
York one day at noon In just %
flying hours without leaving the
plane except for As minutes re-
fuelling and rest stops in four
different countries and you find
yourself stepping out at Roberts
Field, Liberia.
Americans are travelling to the
little African Republic more and
more. This is perhaps natural be-
cause Liberia was born through
the help Of the United States.
Many of it's most prominent citi-
zens trace their ancestry back to
Negro families in Maryland, Vir-
ginia and other sections of Am
erica.
Some Americans are going just
to visit or sightsee. Others are
working there as clerks, sercetari-
es or career people in the Ameri-
a Embassy, as staff members
and specialists in the U. S. Econo-
mic and Health missions. Then
there are teachers in the mission
schools and in the Liberian col
leges who hail from America.
Most of the mission teachers are
white but increasingly colored
teachers and educators are over
coming the normal provincialism
which has characterized us as a
group and r v%enturing forth.
Probably nothing can demon
strate better the shrinking size of
the globe nor the new a~pprecia-
ton of Africa which is being de-
veloped than the questions which
come from people on every hand.
What does one do to prepare
for a trip of Liberia? How do you
go? What do you see? What does
it cost? What are the people of
Liberia like? What do they wear,
what do they eat, and how do they
live. Just what goes on in Liber-
ia?
These are the sort of queries
which were propelled at me from
every side when I returned from a
trip down the entire coast of
West Africa three years ago, as
we'll as when I returned from Ii
IBERIA just a few days ago. This
narrative then will seek to tell
some of the ordinary details which
once much care for in making a
trip to Liberia as we'll as some of
the things one would experience
