U. 5. Study Supports
'ReIocatabIe Housing
For Defense Areas

It's possible to build relo-
catable houses" Of a permanent
type at reasonable cost in critical
defense housing areas.
So, at least. says the Housing
and Home Finance Agency, which
has issued a report summarizing
a study of the possibility Of help
ing to meet spot shortages OF
housing in defense areas through
this expedient.
The report was made to Hous-
ling and Home Finance Admini-
strator Raymond M. Foley by
Ralph r. Kaul, special adviser to
HHFA in charge Of the project,
It was based on tests OF eight
TYPES of relocatable houses.
The tests consisted, said FILA
of taking each of the house types
from it's first foundation, loading
it for long-distance hauling, and
installing it on second founda-
ton ready for occupancy.
The report said relocatable
houses can be competitive in
quality, Inability and price
with fixed-to-site homes. can be
economically moved. and are
capable of production in signifl-
cant quantities.
Houses tested had an average
size of 852 square feet. Estimated

The open-end mortgage permits

But in most cases, the hitch tol
the open-end mortgage is that an
expensive title search IS needed
before additional funds can bs ad-
vanced with the property as Sc
curity.
Now comes a title insurance
company in New York City with
what a national home magazine
of high reputation says is a spec
tacular" plan. It will agree to in
sure title without a search, simply
accepting the home owners afh-
davit that no liens have been
placed on the property since the
original mortgage loan was made.
For this kind Of title insurance,
the firm charges S. per $1,000,
with a minimum fee Of $40. It
makes its offer available in any

within the original total of any

relatively small as to lead the
magazines editors to suggest that
If such a plan were available on
a wide scale it could tremendously

gage and thus make possible the
doubling of the present So billion

Long-Term Plan
Is Launched To
Give Israel Food

NEW YORK-A 1O-year agricul-
tural plan designed to make Israel
a self-sustaining country in food
production and costing a total of
$84O, 100000, the major portion of
which will be provided by American
Jews. has been launched by United
Palestine Appeal agencies in con-
junction with the Israel govern
ment.
The announcement was made by
Rudolf G. Sonneborn, a tt O n a l
chairman of UPA, who revealed at
the same time that UPA has
changed it's name to the United
Israel Appeal.
Declaring that Israel is "pi-
oneering country that must have a
plan to survive" Sonneborn said
that the agricultural program has
three basic aims:
/. Achieve a maximum of local
food production at the earliest
possible date.
2. Accelerate colonization of
Israeps undeveloped areas in the
Negev and Gall.
8. Improve substantially the
foreign trade balance in terms of
food imports.
Implementation of the plan is
divided into a three-year period of
initial settlement and agricultural
development and seven-year per-
iod of consolidating and intensity
ing agricultural growth.
For the first period, capital to-
falling more than $532 100000 will
be required for agricultural produc-
ton to provide sufficient food sup
plies for a population of 100000.
An additional $308,000,000 will be
needed to complete the plans prof.
ects in the subsequent seven years.
Sonneborn said the plan calls for
establishment of $4,000 farm units
by the end of 1854. The rural
population will be doubled within
the next three years to reach 600,-
900 people living and working in
farming areas.

NEW YORK-The UJA will for
mally launch it's 1852 nationwide
campaign for $151, 100000 at a
National Inaugural Conference to
be held Feb. "a at Miami Beach,
Fla, it was announced this week by
DR.. Joseph ]. Schwartz, UJA Ex-
ecutive Vice Chairman.
He said it would mark the. open
ing of both the greatest and the
most crucial campaign ever under
taken by the UJA. He stressed in
particular that the campaign has
this great and overriding aim
to help turn Israel's great home
coming of 100000 Jews into a great
home making.
He emphasized that the many
hundreds of Jewish leaders attend
ing the conference would be called
on to set standard of giving that
would galvanize all American Jews
to the kind of dramatic action
needed to help Israel usher in a
new era of progress and plenty.
end War of independence"
DR.. Schwartz said Israel is fight
ing it's second battle of independ-
ence-a battle for economic inde-
pendence. He emphasized tn a t
American Jews must help win this
crucial struggle, just as in 1948
American Jews stood valiantly by
Israel to help the new state win it's
War of Liberation.
In 1948, he declared. American
Jews gave the UJA $150,0O0, 900 to
help Israel establish itself as a
free and Independent State.
In 1862, he stressed, American
Jews must contribute on a scale to
match the 1948 standard because
this year Israel must turn back the
enemies of austerity and shortages
that have come increasingly to
threaten the hard-won freedoms of
1948.
The UJA executive vice-chairman
said that American Jews in 1862,
with the same effort they made in
1948, can help the UJA attain a
goal that was realized once before
and that accurately reflects the
crisis in Israel today.
DR.. Schwartz also pointed out
that the UJA must make possible
the continuation of urgent pro-
grams in other areas of the world,
notably in European and Moslem
countries, for a total of 25O,OOO
Jews.

Triumph in Oreqon

General Eisenhower was expected to win the
Republican primary in Oregon. But the margin
of his victory, with somewhat more than half
OF the precincts counted, must have been a
surprise to even his most ardent supporter.
In the preferential contest, he was holding
a 2-to-1 lead over his combined opposition
notably, Governor Warren of California and
Harold E. Stassen. Senator Taft, who was not
a candidate ran far, far behind on a write in
basis. In the delegate race, General Eisenhower
was shoo-in winner in 10 contests. Candidates
supporting him were opposed by pro-Taft men
in eight others But the general was leading
in all OF these races, and it seemed quite likely
that he would make a clean sweep in Oregon.
This overwhelming expression of Republican
preference for General Eisenhower has to be
appraised, Of course, in the light of all of the
primaries that have been held. In two of them,
notably in Ohio and Illinois, Senator Taft was
very strong. But when a balance is struck,
having especially in mind those contests in
which the people had a direct chance to vote
for General Eisenhower the conclusion is obvi-
Gus. Most of the rank and-file Republicans
plus a very substantial number of independents
and even Democrats-want the general as their
candidate. The Republican bosses may ignore
this clearly-expressed sentiment. If they do,
however, it is quite probable that they will lose
the election, and if that happens they will have
only themselves to blame.

Like Scrambled Eggs?

Prime Minister Churchill's Conservative gov
eminent has reason to feel bit uncertain about
being able to fulfill its prediction campaign
promise to de-nationalize number OF Britains
nationalized industries including steel. AS
starter, it has moved to return the long distance
trucking business to private enterprise but signs
indicate that there may be trouble ahead.
The Conservatives of course, now have
enough votes in Parliament to enact the legisla-
ton needed to get the government out OF the
business and sell the trucks and related facilities
to individual investors. But the question Is
whether q sufficient number Of people will be
willing to buy the property, and the same holds
true for the other state-owned enterprises that
Mr.. Churchilrs party is pledged to put on the
market for transfer to private ownership and
operation.
This uncertain situation stems from the fact
that the Laborites-who did the Matchmaking in
the first place and who may be returned to power
next year or the year after-have vowed that
they will re-nationalize anything that the Con-
servatives sell back to private enterprise Indeed,
leaders of some of the big trades unions have
come out in favor of the idea that the next Labor
government should carry out such re-nationali-
cation on confscatory basis, without compen-
satipg the investors.
In other words, the Laborites Re opposing
the Conservatives standardization effort by
