Purchasing Of Homes
On Easier Credit Held
Possible in August
By the Associated Press


If you have a dream house in
mind but not much cash in the
bank. you may be able to swing
the deal in September, or possibly
August. Government requirements
for stiff cash down payments may
be eased by then.
Government officials expressed
this belief privately today, follow
ing announcement by two agencies
administering housing credit con-
trolls that curbs fixing minimum
cash payments on houses will be
leased mot later than October l."
The Federal Reserve Board and
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency said yesterday if the num-
ber of houses started under con-
|struction in June, July and August
holds below the rate Of IL million
Ia year, the required down payment
will be cut to S per cent mot later
than October /" under terms of
an act of Congress.
Agencies Act ON Own.
But officials told a reporter later
that the agencies, acting on their
own, probably will drop the con-
trolls in September-and possibly
late August-if they see the dras-
tic easing is inevitable anyway.
In either event. the benefits will
go chiefly to buyers of houses ir
the upper-cost brackets-particu.
larly those in the $25, ,000-up class
At present, the controls already
permit houses costing under $1,000

Truck Can't Stop on a Dime;
ItNeeds 8O3 at Safety Meeting

This is for the driver who thinks
he can stop on the proverbial
dime.
At a traffic safety meeting last
night, it was Shown that, if he
was driving a truck at 20 miles an
hour, he couldn't stop until he had
travelled a distance equal to 803
dimes laid side by side. This
would cover a length of 47.2 feet.
The traffic safety session was

on that little cash.
Range Up to 40 Per Cent.
It's only on the more expensive
houses that buyers get pinched
hard by the controls. Down-pay-
ment requirements graduate up
with cost. They amount to 40 per
cent for the public and 35 per
cent for veterans for the $25, ,0O0-
or-more house.
Apparently, the only thing that
can stop or delay the removal OF
relaxation of control is a big squirt
in home building. Most analysts
agree that housing starts this year

THE TRAITOR
Continued from page s,i,se

there is no doubt of his fate -
whether he's mad or an enemy
of the State whose hatred for our
beloved Leader has led him to
such a disgusting excess. :. Go
on, Janto."
JANTo moved to the portrait
and, leaning over the sideboard,
stretched up. But it was clear
at once that he could not have
written the legend. He was too
short and his right hand could
only just touch the bottom of the
poster. The words were written
high across the face out of
Janto's reach.
''You see," said Mencev look
ing at Palovic. "Janto couldn't
have done it. He's not tall
enough. But you could reach
easily"
This is a foul plot against
mel" Palovic screamed. "Of
course he could reach it. He
stood on the chair at the side
of the sideboard and leaned
across"
Look at the chair" " answered
Mencev. THE brocade is un-
marked. Look at Janto's boots.
He's walked in from his farm
and they are covered with mud.
No, Palovic: You hate Janto,
you hate his influence on this
committee and this was your
way of getting rid of him. In
your heart. too, you hate our
Leader and are concerned only
with your own ambitions"
Il didn't do it! l didn't do it,"
shouted Palovic. That filthy
traitor did it."
Mencev shook his head. "Is
there anyone here who doubts
Palovic's guilt. anyone who will
not testify to the truth we have
Witnessed" He looked at Ustal
and Levanov. There was no
doubt that they were with him.
MENcEv adjourned the meet
ing and Palovic was taken away
by two of the police guards sta
toned in the building. Ustal and
Levanov left but, as Janto was
going, Mencev called him back
into the room.
Mencev faced Janto and for
moment a slight smile touched
his lips. "You are a brave man,
Janto - but a reckless one."
Evening star., 1952-02-03

''So?" There was no fear IN
Janto.
'One day you will die for your
opinions.
"One day we all die. 1t is good
to die for ones friends"
ut is better to live for them.
! am your friend"
II have known that all my
life.'
4'You do not ask me why /
talk like this?"
Words are not necessary when
men understand each others
hearts,"
THAT is true. 1t is also true
that for the moment | do not
know how it was done, but
shall find out. You need fear
nothing. Good night, Janto."
Good night. Mencev."
WHEN Janto had gone. Mencev
went to the sideboard and stood
staring at the defaced portrait,
deep in thought. He knew men
and he knew that Palovic could
never have brought himself to
do this thing. After a while he
smiled, noticing the gap between
the sideboard back and the wall.
He pulled the sideboard further.
from the wall. On the floor
behind was the same poster por-
trait of the Leader, unmarked.
The little cord loop which held
it at the top was broken and
showed signs of having been
previously cut almost through so
that a gentle tug at the bottom of
the poster would sever it easily.
Mencev in his mind saw the
whole scene: Janto's son at the
power station throwing a switch,
Janto rising and reaching in the
dark above the sideboard where
hung one portrait on top of the
other, jerking down the un-
touched top portrait and letting
it slip quietly behind the side
board to the floor and so reveal
ing the marked portrait he had
placed there earlier. Then going
to the switch, chalked by him
self, he had marked his hands,
taking a terrible risk against
Palovic in his determination to
save his friends and rid the coun-
try of a bloodthirsty fanatic,
risking everything on the intel
ligence and loyalty of his friend

The psychologists arc worried
about the antibiotics all of us are

tiny bits from milk, due to giving
them for cattle diseases. Also from

TO make pigs grow faster. From

reason. Parenthetically the Swiss

TO tlie development -fater- off-ef-

IF a nuclear reactor can be
crammed into the confined quar-
ters of submarine, it certainly
should be operable in the wide
open spaces of conventional
power plant" Glennan said in
speech prepared for delivery to the
10Th annual conference of the
Southeastern Electric Exchange.
Glennan said three years of
work on an atomic-powered SUBJ

in handsome way, and this pay
off should continue at an increaS-
ing pace
Active work is also not going
forward on several approaches to
the development and design of

Glennan said the commission has
said it is possible within the next
five to 10 years that economical

ing stations may be demonstrated
in particular sections of this coun-
try"

This is the fourth car that Cum

Is Cummins aiming at the pas

Don Cummins, vice president in

cars for many years in this coun-
try" says Cummins. "The public

costs more than COM

Were working toward a cheap

reach the place where economy is
the main factor then there will be
a demand for dicScls in passenger

Don Cumlnins older brother,
CleSsie, mechanic-inventor who
founded the company, put four
cylinder marine diesel in Pack
ard chassis in 1929 and drove it
from here to New York for S1.38

The obvious departures from pre-

turbo-chargcr, device TO pack
air into the cylinders that is
powered by a turbine in the ex-

lying on its side instead of stand

brakes.
Cummins is just beginning to
use the turbo-chargcr CONNER
