CAMP G-2-27, OCTOBER 16,
196-Tomorrow it will be just one
year since That Day-the day that
ended the world we used to live in,
and reduced our lives to an elemental
struggle against hunger, sickness,
grief, and despair. Here in this camp
outside Vermillion, 1900 of us who
managed to pull through, more or
less, are living in huts, tents, and sod
houses. Among the St. Louisans here,
by some ironical chance, are three of
us who were active in chi. Yesterday
we decided to mark this grim anni-
versary by writing down the history
of this terrible year, as we know it.
Not that anyone will publish this
mock Nuclear nformation-not much
is printed nowadays, and a sheet of
clean white paper is rare luxury.
But we have managed to get hold
of some scraps of packing material
to write on. Maybe at some remote
time, when something like civilization
is restored, if it ever is, historians
would like to know what we have
seen

Speaking at the National
Governments urban renewal
chief said builders should not
overlook the potentials in the
rapidly developing renewal pro-
gram.
urban renewal is one of the
greatest markets the building
world has ever known but some
builders are just now beginning
to realize that it exists" Urban
Renewal Commissioner David
M. Walker told delegates.
Restoration Suggested
Mr.. Walker suggested that
new-house builders try their
hand at conservation and res
toration of in-town homes to
sharpen up their know-how for
the future in this field.
You will find opportunities
not only for profit but for con-
tributions to the most exciting
and moving challenge in Amer
lea today" he said.
Mr.. Walker explained con-
servation necessarily will con-
stitute a considerable part Of
the urban renewal effort across
the country, that this is a.
profitable field and that even
greater than the need for
Government participation is
the need for participation Of
knowledgeable citizens"
His advice came after the
18th annual convention Of the
National Association of Home
Builders was told FILA has
adopted a new regulation that
will make some acquisition for
restoration easier to finance.
Builders also were told yester-
day there will be a market for
several hundred thousand more
homes this year than they will
be able to produce this year.
FHA Commissioner Julian H.
Zimmerman said FHA's new
rule will, for the first time,
allow a nonoccupant buyer to
receive 100 per cent of a maxi
mum-insured loan, instead Of
only IS per cent as before.
Thus. he explained, builder
or broker wishing to buy a
house to restore could do so
with a relatively much smaller
cash down payment.
In the case Of a $4,000 home
having a maximum insured
loan Of S9,700, he said, the
down payment could be only
$500 to the nonoccupant buyer.
Previously such a buyer would
have had to make a down pay
ment of about $l,750.
On the all-important tight
money problem, builders heard
conflicting predictions.
Housing Administrator Nor
man P. Mason was critical of
Democratic proposals to aid
home production through a 81
billion fund for Government
purchase of mortgages and
through other means, and said
the present is mot a time for
panaceas and palliatives."
Competitor Retires
Placing himself In a posi-
ton as almost the sole opti-
mist among those commenting
on prospects for an adequate
supply of mortgage credit, Mr.
Mason told builders:
With the Federal budget in
balance for this year and next
the Treasury will no longer be
competing with you for new
funds which would normally
go into mortgages. There viii

Tan Gophers In
Good Account Of
Themselves Sufurd0V
BY Staff Reporter

Last Saturday, the Minnesota
Gophers put on one Of the finest
games defensively against North
western this spectator had seen In
a long, long time. There won't
be too much yardage gained
through the Gopher line by any
Big Ten team this season as long
as the first team holds up.
The Saturday engagement was
the type of game only the experts
will be talking about in all their
technical terms To many of the
fans watching it the stubborn bat
tie must have been a little dis
appointing as they were probably
thinking about the 42-0 score the
preceding week.
Northwestern was as stubborn a
team as any of the Gophers could
meet this season. They came here
to win the game. and Dick Thorn
ton, their top star ian All-Amer-
lean candidate) came very close to
doing just that!
The entire Gopher team did
themselves proud with the way
they rushed Thornton all after
noon.
Tan Sandy Stephens, Bill Mum
sey, Judge Dickson, and Bobby Bell
played some very fine ball for
Minnesota In the third quarter
after quarterback Joe Salem had
completed the first long (40 yards)
pass deep in the Wildcat territory
Murray Warmth sent in Stephens
to replace him. This was a tough
decision to make for any coach
at that time. Sandy trotted on the
field with the crowd booing Justify.
Stephens didn't seem to mind and
went over for the touchdown in
two plays. We wouldn't have want
ed to be in Warmath's shoes if
Sandy had failed!
Bill Munsey was one Of the hard
est runners and defensive stars on
that field. He consistently made
yardage at crucial times through

out the afternoon and It's no secret
his interrogation Of a Thornton pass
deep in Minnesota territory in the
last few minutes OF the fourth
quarter was the crucial save Of the
day.

are surprising lot Of people this
season and win continue to do so.

said he was taken through three
lineups during the day and was not
allowed access to the phone until
4:3O the next day.
He was released about % hours
after having been picked up with

against him. Cost to him was one

was not any crime he had commit

companion happened to be strolling

female.

Chief Milton Winslow had better
get Morals squad Russell Krueger's
men straight for the record that
in Minneapolis police do not modest

This practice went out the win
dow many years ago, thanks to
generally fair police administra-
ton.
In addition It seems to this
scribe that the city Of Mime

partment owes Bailey 100 bucks
plus a days pay Ordinary working
people shouldn't have to pay for
the stupidity or prejudice Of city
employees whether they are law
