the enemies of the insured and
guaranteed mortgages (the back
bone of the housing industry
would first weaken the agencies
by a dispersal action and then
destroy them individually"
Insured mortgages are those
in which lenders are supported
against loss by the Federal
Housing Administration. Guar
anteed mortgages are those
backed by the Veterans Admin
istration. Some lenders and
other groups view this Federal
activity as usurpation in wnat

ing field.
In his statement on financing
the Nations housing. Mr.. Coogan
said emphatically he believes
centralization' almost dec
ade ago of most Of the Govern
ment's housing activities under
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency has been beneficial.
For the most part, all these
activities have been working
smoothly and profitably and for
the general good of the coun-
try" he said.
From a period Of no housing
construction such as existed dur
ing the war, the reborn industry
has been able to grow into q
colossus capable of building a
million and a half homes a year,
and with record of a million
or more a year for the past five
years.
"All this has been done, and
we now have a virile young in
dustry directly employing a huge
labor force, and indirectly sup
porting employment of a host of
suppliers. The ramifcations of
housing into the lumber, paint,
heating, electrical, furniture, car
peting, equipment and other in
dustrieS make it at least one of
the three major supports of the
present economy.
"Such an industry must be
handled with care for the job to
be done is greater and more diff
ficult than the one already &C.
complished."

Even as one remarks to the
rest of the family on the beauty
of autumn in its gorgeous va
riety of colors, one finds a COM
fort and a coziness in lazing a
Sunday afternoon away in an
easy chair with touch of heat
in the house to dispel the first
chill of autumn.
When one is the bread winner,
a note of discord is apt to in
trude into this comfort. 1t is
the recollection that last winter
certain living areas were subject
to annoying cold-spots. If this
is your problem. it can be per-
manently corrected through
modulation heating. This is a
new concept in heating which
creates a Zone-heated home.
Meditation heating offers
many advantages and this sys-
tenn incorporates advantages of
steam heat and forced warm air
in one system It draws cool
room air from the room, filters
it clean, heats it with steam and
then blows it back into the room
with its steam operated turbine
blower. No electricity is used in
the system.
The cold-air intake in each
room heater unit keeps cold air
off the floor. prevents odors from
being transferred from one room
to another and provides constant
circulation of filtered, heated
air within each room or zone.
Each of these units is, in
effect, an automatic heat meter
which measures the heat re-
quired to compensate for variable
heat losses in the zone each unit
controls.
Each heater unit has it's own
thermostat, which permits in
dividually selected temperatures
for each room. Temperatures
can be varied in every room in
the house to fit your family's
activity and personal preference.
This heating system will

used. The three-eights-inch
copper tube supply lines and the
on-fourth-inch copper tube con-
denSate lines permit easy bend
ing and drawing without the use
of any fittings between the boiler
and the heater units.
The small tubing requires no
extra headroom or special archi-
tectural provisions and is in
stalled without damage to the
structure usually associated with
Quoting or large pipes. The tub

in excess of the 3 to 10 pounds

in heating but in installation as

in favor of minimizing Federal

he said.
II in the future we should

Mr.. Coogan blamed what he
called the existing confusion
arising over controversy within
the Presidents Advisory Com
mittee on Housing, and outside
OF it, on efforts of volunteer
carpenter trying to build walls
and roofs when no foundation
exists"
The first step to build such q
foundation, he said, is for Con-

In his hard-hitting statement,
Mr.. Coogan attributed present

Dismissal Motion
by Lattimore Taken
Under Amusement
By Howord [. Dutkin

Judge Luther w. Youngdahl
yesterday took under advisement
the motion to dismiss the seven
count perjury indictment against
Owen baltimore, former con-
sultant to the State Department
on Far Eastern affairs.
The judge began hearing ar
gun1ents on various motions in
the case Tuesday in the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia. He has denied moves
to shift the trial to another ju-
risdiction and has postponed the
trial. originally set for May IL.
to an unspecified date in October.
After the arguments for dis
missal were finished. Judge
Youngdahl commented:
Because of the difficult and
complex questions involved, fur
ther study and research by the
court is necessary" before a de-
cision is handed down. :.
Vagueness Charged.
In general, counsel for Latti-
more had charged that the in
dictment was vague and did not
define certain terms used. such
as communism" and sym
pathizer." Defense counsel had
also asserted baltimore was
being prosecuted" for his
political beliefs rather than for
any crime that could be proved.
One of the counts against
Latt.more charges that he lied
when he told a Senate Internal
Security subcommittee that he
was not a Sympathizer or a
promoter of communism.
Judge Youngdahl asked Prose-
cutor Leo A. Rover if he could
define the terms used so that the
jurist might have better idea
Of the meanings in inStructing
the jury at the trial.
Definitions Offered.
Mr.. Rover defined "sympathiz-
ing" as keeping in harmony or
agreement. with in an intellec-
tual sense. He said "a pro-

would be made clear in the pro-
duction of evidence at the trial
which would show certain acts Of
Lattimore's.
Mr.. Rover denied baltimore
was under indictment because OF
his beliefs. Hes being prose-
cuted for the same type OF crime
Merl Young was convicted Of
yesterday-perjury under oath
and not for communism"
Another charge against Latti-
more Is that he lied when he
placed the date Of a luncheon
meeting with the then Soviet
Ambassador Oumansky as after
the German invasion Of Russia.
Subsequently. he admitted the
meeting was during the period
Of the Soviet-Nazi pact.
On Way to Chang.
Referring to this. Mr.. Rover
declared that the committee
wanted to find whether this
American citizen who was on
his way to Generalissimo Chang,
who was then an ally of the
United States, was there in a
hotel room. possibly getting a
brief1ng from the Russian Am
bassador," while the Soviet-Nazi
pact was still in force.
The subcommittee, which had
questioned baltimore for 13 days,
had been sent up to delve into
infiltration of Communism and
other subversive influences. Lat
timore, who at one time edited
a magazine published by the In
Stitute Of Pacific Relations, a
private research organization,
was said to have been influential
in determining our Far Eastern
policies.

I feel sorry for a child when
I hear a fond parent say COM
placently, II am my child's best
pal. We have a grand time to-
gether and he would rather be
with me than anybody else"
It should be remembered that
no adult. however affectionate
and well-meaning, can be as
companionable to a young child
as another youngster of the
same age. There is the span of
years and consequent experience
and attitudes of the mother or
father, which precludes actual
companionShip between them
and their offspring. Children
understand each other, as do
also teen-agers. They have the
same feelings. the longing for
close companionship and are
therefore at ease when they are
together.
On the other hand, grownups
are rarely comfortable for any
length Of time when with young
children. or even with adoles-
cents. Often the activities of
youngsters irritate mature per-
sons whose outlook is seasoned
and where enthusiasm is per-
haps somewhat subdued COM
pared to that of children. The

youngsters and he or she is in

company Of other adults. And
children are just as glad to get
away from grownups to join
their little playmates. However,
there is always a proper time
for parents to get together with
their children. Father and moth
er are a source of strength,
an anchor in time of stress to
their children. The steadfast
faith and sagacity of older folk
treasures the venturesome boys.
Parental affection and care help
their youngsters to learn some
thing of the worlo in which they
are fedglingS.
Though it is true that many
fathers are young enough to en-
JOY some of the activities of
their children. there are occas-
ionally men. who through their
affection for their youngsters.
go bit too far for their health.
1t is unwise, for example, for a
stiff -jointed parent to accom-
pany his children on an all-day
hike and spend the night camp
ing-sleeping on "a blanket
spread over the pine needles.
Such an adventurous adult
might well be pardoned for
wishing he was home in a COM

who goes camping arranges for
a truck to come along with one

sils that promise him a cup OF

Why Grow Old2
By Josephine Lowmon

The series wrote not long ago
stimulated lots of interest and
since then I have been receiving
many questions concerning it..
One question has come in over
and over again. I told you in
the articles I published earlier
that one reason plastic surgeons
hesitate to perform the face
lifting operation is because it is
not permanent. The effect US
ually lasts about five years.
Women want to know if at
the end Of that five years the
face looks older than it did be-
fore the operation was per-
formed. So. I got in touch with
a Well-qualif1ed surgeon to get
his answer to this question.
Relaxation of the skin" he
told me. "is one of the aging
processes that cannot be stopped,
only retarded. Face lifting re-
tards this process. Five years
after the face-lifting operation,
although the skin is again be-
ginning to show the effects of
relaxation. the appearance of
the patient is definitely younger
than if no operation had been
performed. The aging process
is set back more than five years
following the operation"
