The World Today

WASHINGTON, Up Regula-
tionx-the government control on
new home buying-seems bound
to be with us while even though
regulation W-the control on in
stallment buying--has been drop
ped.
Regulation x requires large
down payments on new homes.
Regulation w required fairly
large down payments on durable
goods and definite limits on when
the balance could be paid off.
Both were intended to be anti
inflationary and, at the same
time, save on materials which the
government uses. Both were i'm
posed in the fall of 1850, after the
Korean outbreak.
Following the start OF @i.ooting,
there was a wave of buying. Prices
started up. The federal Reserve
Board issued its Regulation w
Sept. 8, 1850
Under w you had to take one
third down payment on automo-
bileS, with the rest paid off in 1S
months. On nearly all appliances,
furniture and floor covering, Re-
gulation w required IS per cent
down, the rest in 18 months.
This was wiped out Wednesday.
The stores are bulging and now
the fears of late 1850, that scarcity
of goods would bid up prices, no
longer holds.
With w gone, storekeepers are
free to make whatever deals they
want with their customers on the
size of down payments and time
limits paying the rest.
Instalment buying has a gigan-
tic place in the American economy,
for in 1850 about half of the 29
billion dollars which the public
paid for durable goods was on the
installment plan.
There has been opposition to the
retention of Regulation X-for
example, from the national associa.
ton of real estate boards (NARB)
but the federal reserve people

Mrs. Cullum, who recently came
from New York City, was csked
for Identification as she entered
the polling place with her two

Unable to present identification,
Mrs. Cullum was about to leave

The worker knew where the dog
lived and agreed Mrs. Cullum was

RUNS IN REVERSE

MORGANTON, N. C.-LP)-Ifere
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge
Mountains the Jonas Ridge School
has just ended its summer vaca-
ton and started the new term.
There are two reasons why they
turn the clock around The haz-
ardous winter weather makes
mountain travelling difficult for the
children. The winter vacation also
gives them chance to make some
money by picking galax, wild
plant whose big, tough leaves are
used for Christmas decorations.
The school begins its work soon
after spring starts, and closes
when winter arrives. The 125
students and four teachers hold
classes in modern, stone building.

of fraternity. They concentrate in

the American Museum of Natural
History, and exchange the pass
word, seen anything good?" as
they meet from time to time.
One woman who answered" yes,
a Cape May Warbler, down that
way" was nearly trampled in the
rush before she got the words out
of her mouth. Cape May Warblers
are uncommon and not to be miss
ed.

officer once thought of running
watcher in as peeping Tom.
In the last half century, more
than 225 species of birds have
been observed ini the park, in
Guiding 3S different kinds of wab-
lers, snowy owl from the far
north, dickcissel from the west
and a purple gallinule from the
south. On just one day, May 10,
1927, list of 78 was compiled.
That's good in any country.
The nice thing about the park,
from a bird watchers viewpoint,
is that birds seen there are all on
the move. They drop in at night
as at an oasis in a brick wilder
ness, but find next day it is no
place to settle down. So they move
on promptly, and their passage can
thus be checked accurately.
]. T. Nichols of the American
Museum, who has been watching
birds in the park since he was
kid in the nineties, doesn't think
the hunting as good as it used to
be. On the other hand Godfrey
Carleton, author of Birds of Cen
tral Park" calls it one of the
best bird watching place in so
miles.
It's good enough anyway to at
tract every morning and every
lunch hour hundreds of amateur
and professional-bird lobbyists,
all hoping for the big day when
they can hang up stupendous
record of the number of birds
seen of, better still, spot some
strange bird that, like many a
New Yorker, has found himself
where he didn't expect to be.

still think it's necessary.

still think it's necessary.
One thing is certain: Regulation
x, requiring an unusually large
down payment ON a new home,
has slowed up the sales of new
homes. The NARB complains the
high down-paynent discriminates
against low and middle-income
groups who could make small
down payments but not big ones.
But at the Federal Reserve
Board this explanation was given
for keeping Regulation x while
w was abandoned.
1t is still an anti-inflationary
measure to discourage large and
long-term borrowing on mortgages;
and there is the further problem
of housing materials:
It was said the outlook on these
materials is still not completely
clear because, for one thing, of
the possibility Of strikes that might
cut down on the supply of such
materials as aluminium, steel, cop
per.
Congress may have deciding
hand in whether Regulation x is
kept in effect. 1t is considering the
problem now while it ponders the
question of renewing the defense
production act.
That act, which expires June
80 unless congress renews it, gives
the government wide controls over
prices and materials. Congress may
renew the act but decide Regula-
ton x can go.

Goulding pointed out with pride
that some Indians have abandoned
the round, squat hogans for cabins,
But the doors almost invariably
face east because Navajo tradi-
tion requires this SO that the first
rays of the rising sun can enter
the home.
Many persons believe the Indians
resent the white mans opening of
the mines, but Goulding says, I've
found the Indians to be very pro-
gressive-minded. Anything that
will help them, they'll 60 along

Answer to Question No. /:
The average length of stay
in general hospitals in the
United States today is about 20
to 25 per cent less than it was
in 1910. This Improvement is
largely the result of medical ad-
vances, early ambulation after
surgery and childbirth, and the
use of blood transfusions.
Answer to Question No. 2:
Healthy old people are not
necessarily tired. Much of The
WEAKNESS is due to improper
diet. An increase of proteins
and a 1essening of starch, sugar
and fats will often relieve the
feeling of exhaustion. Elderly

NAVAJO INDIAN RESERVA-
TION, Ariz.- Uranium destined for
atomic bombs is helping relieve
the plight of the Navajos, proud
Indians whose poverty has come
in for nationwide attention.
As yet, it can't be said to be
enriching them-not by ordinary
standards. But it is providing jobs
for a good many. 1t is putting
some in position to collect royal
ties. 1t is dropping money into the
tribal Golfers to help develop the
primitive land. And the end is not
in sight.
Il suppose uranium stands a
chance of making some millionaires
among the Indians but the odds
are against it," theorized one of
the regions best known white
men. He is Harry Goulding who
operates trading post and tour
ist spot in Monument Valley, iso-
lated region of spectacular red
rocks along the Utah-Arizona
border far from main roads.
Uranium mining has been
God-send for these Indians" Goul-
ding said. 1t has brought a payroll
in here and it has given them a
vocation"
Monument Mine, No. 2, is the
largest uranium operation in the
United States. So few outsiders
have seen it, the property is reput-
ed to be a secret" mine, but it
isn't.
From Mexican Hat, Utah, the
mine is 25 miles southeast. But
the usual direction given to new
conner is this: When you've wan
dered day and half in the reser-
vation, you're probably there
Operated by Vanadiun Corp. of
America, Monument No. 2 employs
Indians in all jobs below the sup
ervisory level. Many of them are
unable to speak even the fudi-
ments Of English. Nearby prop
critics operated by the Climax
Uranium Co. also largely employ
Indians.
The big Monument No. mine
lies at the crest of windswept
hill of blowing sand. It has ore
seams from 5 to % feet thick.
Workings are on two levels s-un-
usual in uranium properties and
there is some strip mining at the
surface. There is 1la miles OF tun-
nelS.
Found when a Navajo brought
chunk of ore to Goulding's post
the mine has been operated inten-
sively only about five years.
Most of the Indians working here
= currently about 80 - learned
mining on the spot.
Foremen Teach Indians
I'VE put foremen right along
side OF them to teach them," VCA
Vice-president Dennis Viles said.
I'VE stay with thine until they
learn. They're quick to catch on,
considering the business is new to
them. They're faithful.
Evidences of the Navajos' art
istic ability were visible in the
mine. The sand-colored tunnels
were decorated at many places
with realistic black drawings
smudged onto the rock with the
flame Of carbide lamps.
Most of the workers live on the
side of the long hill in tiny homes
surrounded by cactus and sage

Now, a siren has been added. 1t
sounds off when one of the specials
is sold. Since Pilkington claims
sales run about 200 an evening,
the siren screams most of the
night.

Cordova Project Cleanup
Move Now In Progress

Contractors are removing the
last of "a units which made up
the Harry Cordova Temporary
Veterans Housing Project at 18th
and Roosevelt Streets. The job of
removing concrete floors and other
debris and leveling the site will be
completed by August 20, allowing
the balance of the month for the
city to satisfy any further demand
of the owners. The owners agreed
to allow the city until September
1 to clear the site, after the City
Council decided to abandon the
project. The city sold the "a units
at public auction for $4,000 with
the requirement that the contract
or must tear the buildings down
on the site before removing them.
This demand was made by the City
Council because the housing units
were far below standard as living
quarters. The Council desired to
discourage their further use as
private living units within the city.
A great deal of equipment, includ-
ing furniture, plumbing fixtures,
heavy timbers, poles, power wires
and other material, was given to
city departments upon their show
ing that it would be put to proper
public use.
