Administrator Of Veterans Affairs
We in the Veterans Admins
tration like to think of the work
we do in terms of the human
equation rather than bare sta
tistics
The CT loan program. for in
stance, is certainly one of our
major endeavors, the end re-
suits of which have a deep and
lasting influence not only on the
lives of the veterans themselves
and their families, but on their
communities and local govern
ments as well.
Most of the CT loans have been
made to help veterans buy
homes, and the majority of
these have been new homes,
generally in new communities.
1t is likely that the majority
of these veterans would not have
been able to house their families
as well as they have or as soon
as they did. if it had not been
for the liberal financing terms
that the CT Bill provided.
Presently one of every four
World War II veterans has OBJ
tanned a CT loan, and this figure
soon will be one out of every

three. This represents a ire
mendous force in building health
and stability for our families
through better housing and a
better standard of living.
The direct benefits that flow
to veterans families from living
in their own homes is reflected
in the communities and local
governments through a stronger
and more vigorous concern for
civic affairs.
I am convinced that the divi-
dends from widespread home
ownership, in which World Wal
II veterans have led the way
in our time, will add to our
general welfare for generations
yet to come.
Through better housing fol-
families we are combating juVe-
nile delinquency. disease, divorce,
and crime in a positive, pre-
tentative manner, without cost
to local or federal budgets.
The credit record that the
veteran home purchaser has
made is, indeed. a remarkable
one. During the course of IL
years, the Veterans Administra-
ton has had to pay claims on de-
faulted loans in only one-hali
of one per cent of the As million

loans guaranteed. The net loss
to the VA has been only about
s cents for each 500 of original
principal amount, and even this
loss is subject to further recovery
Not only have 991z per cent OF

payments, but 100000 home
loans, totaling nearly IS billion.
have already been paid in full.
There are many ways in which
our Nation has proflted from the
CT loan program beside the So
cial gains. In their purhcase of
more than two million new
houses, veterans have spent
over $40 billion, and the build
ers, in turn, have paid this
money into the economic stream
for labor and materials.
The Nations financial institu-
lions have had the privilege of
investing more than $50 billion
in Government guaranteed loans,
affording their depositors and
policy holders a greater measure
of security and a better yield on
their investments than they
would otherwise have had.
Taking a broad and a long
range view of our loan guaranty
activities, there is little reason
to doubt that history will note
the economic and social gains
that this timely program has
brought to the national scene,
and we in the Veterans Admins
tration are proud to know that
we are helping in its attain

"A visitor to the New Products
Exhibit Of Home Builders at the
National Housing Center, 1925 L
street NV, will gain a glimpse
Of what is to come in the home-
building industry. The materials
and equipment which have been
displayed there are among the
f0rerunners of a host Of develop
nients which will make the av-
efage American house pleasanter
TO live in and easier to maintain.
The New Products Exhibit is
essentially an educational service
provided by the National Hous-
ing Center to keep homebuilders
and buyers informed as to new
ideas incorporated in products
now coming on the market. The
products themselves, therefore,
are changed from time to time
and the visitor today will learn
about other things than what he
might have seen upon a similar
visit last winter.
"A low-voltage wiring system
now on display exemplifles the
manner in which the New Prod
ucts exhibit reflects curren t
trends. This is one of several
such systems which. while Giffer-
ing as to their detailed workings,
all achieve economics Of material
and new fiexibility in switching.
COmpOnents SpOtlighted
A basic and important trend
today in small house construction
is the use of 'components." The
term here does not have precise
meaning but reflects the growing
philosophy Of building with
parts rather than pieces" The
parts are becoming larger and
tend to be prefabricated instead
of being fashioned on the actual
building site. The increased ef-
ficiency of production gained
thereby means significant dollar
economy.
New products presently on ex-
hibit include variety of such
cpmponents. A folding truss now
on display is a component ef-

The second Jewish name that
belongs in this discussion is Saul
Rogovin of the Philadelphia Phil
lies. In 1851, he had the best earn
ed-run mark in the Major Lea
CUES, as he pitched brilliantly for
the Chicago White Sox. The fol-
lowing year, he had arm trouble,
and this ailment plagued him
again in 1858. His manager gave
up on him, and he was traded
away and not long thereafter was
sent out of the League to the Ma
tional League. There, too, he was
no help to the Cincinnati Reds,
who also quit on him. Then,
Rogovin caught on with the Phil
lies, had himself examined by
doctors, who discovered that he
suffered from a form of sleeping
sickness, which made him seem
lazy, Indifferent and tired! Once
the disease was known, and treat
ed, Rogovin felt better, was given
chances to rest, and started to win
once again. In 1855, he was one of
the more effective pitchers in the
League, and held up his end of his
job in 1856 as well. There is just
no telling about pitchers.

member of the trio. young Sandy

make good-and he pitched two

more than eight feet. A few
years later, in Denmark, it
was proved that the heart
was a muscle. In the 1700's
