To Aid Production Of
Million Homes Yearly
By Robert J. Lewis
StuT Stuff CorTespondent

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.-The
Nations realtors want the Eisen-
hover administration to support
a high rate of home building,
producing as many as one million
to one and a half million new
homes year.
Charles B. Shattuck, president
of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, today chal-
lenged the viewpoint he said
existed in some quarters favoring
fiscal policies designed to slow
down residential construction.
Speaking at a press confer
ence before the opening of the
associations 46th annual con-
vention, Mr.. Shattuck declared
he believes the present supply
of homes is not adequate even
for the present market.
Unable to Find Surplus.
He said he has just completed
a 100.000-mile tour of the coun-
try and that nowhere had he
found surplus of homes.
Il didn't find a real estate man

I first saw him. He remained

Baby in Perfect Condition.
She told the commissioner
after the arraignment:
The mother can have her
baby until he's grown and then
I'm going to get him back"
A physician examined the
child and said he was in perfect
physical condition.
Mrs. Doughty is being taken to
the Federal Jail at Muskogee,
Okla, by United States Deputy
Marshal w. A. White.
At Evansville, Mrs. Stammer
was stunned when told that her
baby and abductor had been
found.

OK, she said Il was aWfully
bitter against her, but not too
bitter now"
James c. Ellsworth, agent in
charge of the FBI in Oklahoma,
said Mrs. Doughty lost a child at
birth last June in Chicago. He
said she told agents she gave
birth to a child at Dallas in 1851,
but two weeks later her husband
took it away and she never has
seen it since. The FBI identified
the father of the baby as Lamar
Mitchell
At Gainesville, Tex, across the
Red River from Durant, B. r.
Doughty said he was seeking an
annulment of their marriage.
He said she had been married

her only three weeks.

Tito Aide Fears Collapse
Of Plans for PorIey

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Nov.
9 (PD.-Vice President Alexander
Rankovic expressed fear today
that tentative plans for a five
country conference on the fu-
ture of Trieste may collapse be-
cause the Western powers ARE
prone to yield before the black
mail of the Italian government" "
One of President Tito'S four
top-ranking aides, he spoke
before a crowd officially esti-
mated at 10000 in Niksic in the
Southern Yugoslav Province of
Montenegro.
Mr.. Rankovic denounced the
recent violent demonstrations in
the port city of Trieste as "a
grave crime (by italy, against
peace and friendly cooperation
among nations" and as part of
a plan to force the Western
powers to turn Trieste Zone A
over to Italy before a conference
can be held.

in his area was there more than
a per cent vacancy rate" the
Los Angeles realtor said. He
added that he considered a 5
per cent vacancy rate to be the
minimum desirable.
1--WE must have a rate of build
ing high enough to meet the
present demand, and high
enough to allow us to get rid of
100000 or 100000 junkers'
year." Mr.. Shattuck said. BY
"junkers" he explained he meant
worn-out houses unfit for peo-
pie to live in and not of the type
which could be rehabilitated
economically.
Approves Higher Interest Rate.
1--WE must pour in new housing
at the top in order to get rid
of this worn-out housing and
build America better" he said.
Mr.. Shattuck said he approved
the Treasury Departments fiscal
policies toughening up interest
rates, and said he believed VA
and FILA rates should be al
lowed to reach whatever level
the market supported without
being pegged by law at Az per
cent.

Ocean City Boardwalk
Displaced by High Tides
BY the Associated Press

OCEAN CITY, Md, Nov. g.
High tides whipped up by the
northeast winds which brought
snow into Maryland during the
week end washed loose about a
half a city block" of the board
walk here, the Coast Guard said.
A spokesman estimated the
boardwalk was moved about 25
feet out of place at the north
edge of Ocean City, where the
walk is closest to the water. He
said water also rose into the
beach parking lot here which is
not used during the winter.
The Coast Guard said tides
ranged as much as 4 to 512 feet

Then try to face your friends

EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
The substantial Federal employ
ment cuts made during Septem-
ber and October leave only $4,000
more reductions to be achieved
Nationwide between now and
next June 80, it was disclosed
yesterday by Chairman Philip
Young of the Civil Service Com
mission. Mr.. Young made his
comments on the Capital Memo
radio program.
AS far as Federal employment
in the Washington area is con-
cerned, Mr.. Young's latest esti-
mate means that only about 1000
Government jobs will be elimi-
mated here between now and
June 80. Mr.. Young stressed
yesterday his belief that the re-
ductions could be achieved by
attrition - not filling vacancies
caused by normal personnel turn
over.

paperman, has been appointed
by Chairman Philip Young of
the Civil Service Commission to

program to establish closer con-
facts with the Federal employe
organizations.
Mr.. Young feels that a closer
rapport is needed between the
CSC and Federal employe or
ganizations on matters of mutual
interest. In Mr.. Miller, he has
selected an excellent man for the
job. Besides his varied news
paper and public relations expe-
rience, Mr.. Miller has served as

Weeping, Moaning Mossodegh
Defies Court, Fires His Lawyer

adding sharply, forgiveness is
for traitors"
Mossadegh appeared as though
he we're ready at any time to
stymie the court proceedings by
pleading illness.
AS on the first day, the ex-
Premier stumbled and staggered
into the courtroom, weaving his
close-cropped head from side to
side. Court officers escorting
him had all they could do to keep
him from falling in heap.
Once seated on the bench fac
ing the judges, Mossadegh spent
at least three minutes being pho
tographed from all angles by
photographers in the we'll of the
court.
During this period he kept his
head sunk to his chest, moaned.
caught his breath and seemed
about to faint.
AS Mossadegh fumbled, an
army doctor standing behind
him Solicitousiy pushed a lighted
kerosene heater closer to the
ex-premier'S back, and passed
HIM a wer-decorated teacup
OF heart stimulant.
MoSSadegh wolfed the cupful
without a word. From time to
time he mumbled to the court
Il am sick. If I am delaying, it
is because I'm sick"
Fires His Lawyer.
A noisy row over whether
Mossadegh could make a speech
defending the ministers who
served with him before August
19 ended with the ex-dictator
telling his court appointed
lawyer, Col. Bozorgmehr: Go
away from me. You are not my
lawyer"
The exchange opened when
the chairman broke into Mos
sadegh's defense of his former
colleagues with this is beyond
the subject"
Mossadegh, alert, snapped
back: How do you know it is
beyond the subject?" This means
you have read the material 1
prepared last night"
Col. Bozorgmehr sprang up,
drew a Koran (the Moslem
bible) from his pocket and de-
clared: by God and the Koran
1 have not shown these docu-
ments to any one"
Mossadegh retorted: "By the
Koran, you have"

TEHERAN. Iran, Nov. o.
Angry ex-dictator Mohammed
Mossadegh, challenging the COM
petence of a military tribunal to
try him as a traitor, today
threatened to commit suicide,
fired his lawyer and warned the
court he might boycott future
sessions.
Clad in his customary pa
iamas, the 73-year-old former
Premier told the court he would
not appeal any sentence it might
mete out.
II will not accept any forgive
ness. I will stay in this prison
until die. If you release me, I
will commit suicide as soon as
get hold of the MEANS" he
shouted.
II am not going to attend the
coming sessions even if you cut
off my head" he declared at the
climax of a heated argument
with Gen. Nasrollah Moghbeli,
chairman of the flve-man
tribunal.
1t was the second day of the
trial for Mossadegh's life. AS he
did on the first day MoSSadegh
wept, painted, pounded the table
and gesticulated. He made fiery
speeches against the British
whom he had fought to dead
lock over this nations vast oil
riches.
Chided for Harangue.
Gen. Moghbeli chided Mossa-
degh for dragging out his anti
British arguments at this time
as though he already were de-
Tending himself-rather than
sticking to the subject of the
courts competence which was the
first item of business.
Undef 1ranlan Army law, tne
first part of the trial turns on
the point of the courts compe-
tence. If the court. declares its
own competence. the chief prose-
cutor can proceed to read the
indictment.
Today's session got off to a
start a half-hour late because of
the ailing defendants failure to
appear on time. He started out
by declaring he would not appeal
this courts sentence, which
could be death by hanging.
And if the Shah-in- Shah
king of Kings pardons me
will not accept it," he declared,

Writing in the Ages THE
Government Standard" Mr..
Campbell said that at the start
of the new security program,
I'VE were especially dubious at
the indiscriminate Jumping to-
gether of loyalty and misconduct
cases, under standards that
might vary from agency to
agency. The exposed Commu-
mist, the person who drinks too
much at parties and the en-
ploye who made misStatements
on an employment form all share
the label of security. risk. Here,
too, would be an easy way OF
getting rid of an unWanted
worker without the proof OF un-
fitness that would be, necessary
under civil service regulations y
Mr.. Campbell added: with
regret, we have come to the con-
clusion that our fears have been
justified E.
Cites "ShrOud of Secrecy"
Under the shroud of secrecy
which covers the entire security
program, there is no way OF de-
termining how many of the 1,456
security risks were discharged
on loyalty grounds. or how many
were discharged for the same
reasons of misconduct and char
acter, deficiencies for which peo-
pie have always been discharged
in private industry as well as
Government-but without being
branded security risks.
Nor, unfortunately, is there
any way of determining how
many of the 1,456 employees were
unjustly discharged, or dis
charged under the super-sensl-
tive standards of certain defense
agencies even though there would
be no objection to their employ
ment in less confidential jobs. A
very capable woman whose
only crime was the misconduct
of her grown son was one such
case"
Mr.. Campbell said he hoped
that the Civil Service Conmis-
sion, which is now appraising the
program, would take steps to give
more protection to employees. The
union official advocates the right
of accused employees to a full
hearing before an independent
appeals board of private citizens
and the right to know the full
nature of the charges against
them.
Also, Mr.. Campbell objects to
the following section of the Sc
curity order: ANY facts which
furnish reasons to believe that
the individual may be subject to
coercion, influence or pressure
which may cause him to act con-
infant as her own in Dallas.
Mrs. Doughty was neatly

but later consented to talk to

lowing details of her flight after

1t remains to be seen
whether this contribution
will actually be forthcoming
with no strings attached"
In their fierce desire to attack
the policies and principles of the
United States, Soviet delegates
have at one time or another in
suited almost every non-commu-
mist country in the United
Nations. Imagine, for example,
the feelings of the delegates of
the 16 nations with troops in
Korea when, during a discussion
of a resolution honoring the war
dead, they heard Vyshinsky's
heartless attack on their motives.
Their feelings were only partly
recorded in the vote of So to 5 by
which this resolution was passed
after Vyshinsky had spoken. 1t
was a deeply shocking perform
ance, against which the entire
free world stood unanimous.

A SIMILAR case occurred last
year, when MIR. Krishna Menon
presented for the Indian dele
CATION their resolution on the
Korean question. The Soviet
Union Immediately launched an
abusive attack not only on the
Indian proposal but also on Mr..
Menon himself for daring to in
troduce measure which did not
meet the Soviet demands.
Papers from all parts of India
promptly expressed their shock,
resentment at Vyshinsky's I'm

criticism from the United States

mands for an impartial investi-
cation of their charges of bac-
THEOLOGICAL warfare in Korea,
and even ignored or refused all
offers of medical aid from the
World Health Organization, thus
branding their own charges as
unabashed propaganda. These
unfounded accusations were
taken as an insult not only to the

Defeat Themselves


Defeat Themselves
ALL of this does not mean that
Soviet lies about the United
States can go unanswered. Amer
leans properly insist that Soviet
slurs on American life and policy
be knocked down and the record
cleared of false accusations and
Misrepresentation, however I'M
believable they may be in them
selves.
As United States representa-
tive, it is my responsibility to let
no time go by before standing up
to blast every new insult to the
honor of our country with an
immediate rebuttal. But it is also
a fact that many of the Soviet
actions and statements are so
silly, so monstrous and absurd
that they answer and defeat
themselves.
The United Nations is the
greatest loudspeaker in the
world. Through that loudspeak-
er, the world is learning the
truth about the nature of the
Soviet conspiracy. What is
more important, through the
United Nations the world is
learning the truth about
what it is like to live and
speak under conditions of
human freedom as we do in
America.
Americans need never fear the
kind of open debate that takes
place in the United Nations. They
should welcome it. The End
