Congress Told
$4,000 Group
NeedsHousinq
By j. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

The greatest need for Fed
eral housing legislation today is
to help families with income of
less than $4,000 year, Robert
C. Weaver. administrator of the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency, told Congress today.
Appearing as the first witness
on President Kennedy's long
range 81 5 billion program, Mr..
Weaver told a Senate subcom-
mittee today's housing needs
differ from those of the past
because there has been a slow
down in the demand for higher
priced homes.
Several features of the Ken
nedy program are designed to
meet this change in demand.
These include:
A proposal to extend the use
of 40-year mortgages with no
down payments for homes
priced between $4,000 and
$4,000.
A proposal to increase the
ceiling on insured home repair
loans from $500 for five years
to $4,000 for 25 years. This
would permit repair of homes
that might otherwise have to
be replaced in urban renewal
projects.
Two Major Parts
AS in the past. urban renewal
and public housing form major
parts Of the new bill. At the
outset Of the hearings Senator
Douglas, Democrat Of Illinois,
reminded his colleagues that
the public housing program is
tagging far behind the goals
set by Congress in 1949.
Senator Douglas recalled that
in l949 the basic housing act
authorized 10000 public hous-
ing units to be built over q
six-year period at the rate of
1856 90 a year.
After IL years, fewer than
100000 units have been au-
thorized.

Egan Outlines His
Basic Proposed
Legislation

JUNEAU lR = Gov. William
A. Egan will recommend to the
1861 Legislature that prediction
registration of voters be required
in the heavily populated election
districts of Alaska.
The recommendation is one of
many the states chief executive
will make when the second State
Legislature convenes on Jan. %.
In an exclusive interview with
the Associated Press, Egan went
over the basic points of his pro-
posed legislative program. 1t was
the first time during his tenure as
governor he had agreed to such
a session.
The overriding consideration
for any portion of the legislative
program he will recommend is
money.
"The most important problem
facing the Legislature will be the
budget" Egan said.
with costs of government in
creasing year by year, the prob
lem of financing state activities
is one of great magnitude.
We are having a difficult time
getting the budget down anyway
near anticipated revenues.
at is likely that l will have to
request substantial increases in
revenue in order that the state
can carry the financial burden of
necessary services"
Egan declined to say how much
more tax money would be needed
and what new tax measures he
might propose.
In addition to asking for pre-
election registration in some dis
tricts, Egan said he might also
suggest that the 1860 election
code be revised to make it easier
for candidates of minor political
parties to get place on the cleo

WASHINGTON Up = Sen. Mike
Mansfield of Montana, the Demo-
Gratis new Senate leader, starts
off on breezy note of optimism.
Before the end of this year, or
even this month, he may feel a
little less bouncy.
Speaking of the Senate = where
his Democrats far outnumber the
Republicans Mansfield said:
81 look forward to period of
harmony and unity"
The first test of both harmony
and unity is coming in a hurry
as the Senate gets down to ex-
aiming and approving the men
President-elect John F. Kennedy
has chosen for his cabinet.
Republican Douglas Dillon was
scheduled for the first looking
over, today. He was President Eli
senhower's Undersecretary of
State and didn't make Republi-
SuiAo 1loPPJ Ny oN(CPllilS ACll-
nedy's offer to make him Sec
rotary of the Treasury.
The brilliant Dillon, who al
ways got along with Congress,
probably won't have any trouble
getting approval. The actual ap-
proval, of course, must wait until
after Kennedy is sworn in as
President Jan. 20.
Between now and then various
Senate committee will quiz Ken
nedy's cabinet appointees and
others he has chosen for key jobs
as a preliminary to full Senate
votes later
Mansfield even predicted quick
passage of the main parts of Ken
nedy's new frontiers program,
with some help from the Republi-
cans. 1t may turn out he'll need
lot of Republican help.
One of the first Kennedy
choices likely to run into some
rough going is Chester Bowles,

ton ballot.
There will also be minor tech
nical changes in the law, the gov
ernor said.
Egan said he will also propose
that the Legislature include all
state employees under the terms
of the Unemployment Compensa-
ton Act. The state would pay its
contribution, as employer, from
the basic general fund.
The state appropriation for
fiscal 1861 provided approximate
ly $215 million for salaries and
wages of state employees. Based
on this figure, the states contri-
button for unemployment security
benefits for its employees for a
year would be approximately
$685. 900.

A Period of Harmony and Unity
The Big Test" Is About to Come

designated for Undersecretary of
State.
Sen. Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire, chairman of the Sen
ate Republican Policy Commit
tee, told the New York Herald
Tribune he and others would give
Bowles the closest scrutiny"
The reason: Bridges accuses
BoWles of a "lot of double talk"
on whether this country should
recognize Red China.
In the Senate, some Southern
Democrats have threatened to op-
pose Kennedy's nomination of
Robert c. Weaver, a Negro, as
director of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency
Kennedy had pledged himself
to end racial discrimination IN
government subsidized housing.
Weaver, who hardly could do
otherwise, since Kennedy picked
him, promised to have the same
attitude.
Home builders in the South
might lose some money if the
government sought to withhold
funds from construction unless
whites and Negroes could live
side by side in it.
Sen. A. Willis Robertson, Vir-
ginia Democrat, announced op-
position to Weaver, although he
didn't say it was because Weaver
is a Negro. Robertson is chair
man of the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee which will
examine Weaver.
The unity which Mansfield sees
may in the end prevail but it is
unlikely to be harmonious.

The comedians doctor wants
him away from his Toluca Lake

joy while others do without them.
We worship our own superiority;
we find it demonstrated in our
comforts and conveniences; and
over these we utter a parody Of
prayer.
TO GIVE THANKS for a thing
would seem to imply that we are
both grateful and happy to re-
ceive it. But to find untroubled
satisfaction in the enjoyment Of
good things which are denied to
our neighbors is a perversion Of
Christian logic and a mockery for
the dessert, but we take the dinner
for granted.
How, then, should we pray? And
for what should we give thanks
if not for enjoyment of special pri-
vileges in a suffering world?
We should give thanks, among
many other things, for the privi-
lege of work. Dedicated labor is a
high form of worship; it is both a
prayer and an answer to prayer;
and it is available to every willing
man. It is our noblest active pri-
vilege; for, how ever humble our
labor, it makes us cobuilders with
God in the continuing work of
Creation.

the dark bowels of the earth he

lips"). This light he Identifies with
the burning coal that cleansed the
unclean lips of Isaiah, though his
rabbi mocks him ("Fool! Go beat
your head on a wall! Gods light
is not between cartracks")-and
in his joy he wet his pants.
For better or worse, the pro-
phetic poetry reduced to an exer-

the kind of book Roth actually
wrote. That the New Masses critics
deplored him and the Southern
Agrarians scarcely registered his
existence is, after all, to be ex-
pected; nor is it proper to feel
dismay over the yellowing lists OF
best-sellers in old newspapers,
carefully documented testimony to
what the largest audience was
reading in 1895 instead OF Roth.
For some the whimsy, Anglophlle
or pseudo-Oriental, of James Hill
ton (both Goodbye, Mr.. Chips and
Lost Horizon topped the lists)
seemed the specific demanded by
the pangs of the Great Depression,
while others found tranquility in
the religiosity of The Forty Days
Of Musa Daqh or in Mary Pick
ford's Why Not Try God? For
those less serious or more chic,
there was the eunuchoid malice
and sentimentality of Alexander
Woollcott's While Rome Burns;
and the most nearly invisible au-
dience of all (furtive high school
boys standing at the circulating
library racks in candy stores and
their older sisters behind the
closed doors of their bedrooms)
were reading Donald Henderson
Clarke's Mile and Louis Beretti
the demi-pornography which no
library would think of stocking
twenty-five years later.
But what of those specifically
interested in Jewish literature in
the United States, those who,
picking up a first novel by a
twenty seven year old Ne w
Yorker, thought of Mary Antin's
The Promised Land or remem-
bered Abraham Cahan's break
through to the rich disorderly
material of Jewish American life?
There is surely no more Jewish
book among American novels.
Though its young hero, David
Schearl, for instance, goes to pub
lie school, that Gentilearea of ex-
perience is left shadowy, unreal
lied. Only his home and the
cheder and tn. streets between be-
come real places, as only Yiddish
and Hebrew and the poor dialects
of those to whom English is an
alien tongue are rendered as real
languages. And yet those pre-
sumably looking for the Towering
of a rich and satisfactory Jewish
American literature we're not
moved to applaud.
Some of them, on the contrary,
protested against the unloveliness
of Roth's ghetto images, the vul-
garity and poverty of the speech
he recorded-as if he had invented
them maliciously. I'D o 6 G e dly

Not With Full Stomach
Give Thanks With Full Heart

Gods sake which commonly we do
for our own" 1.-THE time of BUSH
ness and he, does not with me
differ from the time of prayer, and
in the noise and clatter of my
kitchen j.. possess God in as
great tranquility as if l were upon
my knees at the Blessed Sacra-
ments"
Let us give thanks, then, for
humble collaboration with God
Let us give thanks for our
growth in the realization of hu-
man brotherhood. But let us give
equal thanks for the saving thought
that full brotherhood will be ac-
complished not by any trite slogan
of equality but only by long pa
thence and the healing years.
Let us give thanks, of course,
for the good earth, and for the
temperate use of material comforts.
But never any thanks, to any god,
for luxuries which are ours be-
cause we withhold them from
others.
. Let us give thanks for those is
sues and events in which we can
honestly believe that we have been
on the side of the right. But let us
give equal thanks for the cleans
ing sense of error, and the grace
that allows us to repent. As one
of our thankful poets has told us,
the roots of virtue are planted in
remorse.
Let us give thanks for our new
symbols of infinity. The old SCI
ence pointed to intellectual mas
terry; the new science points to
expanding mystery, and thus re-
news the necessity of faith. Let us
be glad that Revelation never ends.
Let us give tn n k S for the
beauty of the arts that lead up
ward into life. Let us know the
artist as our effectual friend, and
let us recognize ourselves as CO.
laborers in all the works of the
human Imagination. We are need
ed; artist and works are incom-
plete without us.
FIN A LIZ, LET US GIVE
THANKS for the human condition
into which we were born for old
mortality itself. Being finite, we
can change and suffer, and look
upward. Standing somewhere be-
tween the herded animals and the
companionleSs solitude of God. we
share the infinite. BY our suffer-
ing we learn the benediction of
JOY In our changefulness we be-
come aware of the Interchangeable.
In being human we both need and
know the companionship OF our
own kind. All this we are given,
and with it the power to receive
in our mortal imperfection the
grace of God. To know this grace,
and to express it in our daily lives,
is honest thankfulneSs.
Thanksgiving is possible only to
angels and men. 1t is our noblest
capability.
