past normal building periods, the Purdue Housing Research project reported today.

income brackets must be satisfied' to live in second hand homes, ac- | cording to Frank Watson, director -of the project. “These houses often are obsolete or are obtained by mortgage foreclosure in which original financial I equities have been wiped out and the value has been written down, to a price the famiinly of low or 1 moderate Income can afford to pay," he said. “Average families cun NOT pay more than 25 per cent of their Income for housing, the report show ed. On the basis of income statistics, a home costing more than |5.100 is too expensive for 75 per cent of American families. One costing more than 10,100 is out of the price range of 80 per cent of the families. The figures are based on urban incomes, and to include farm Incomes apparently would lower the cost of homes which people can afford to own and live in. No immediate prospect is seen for reduction in cost of distributing building materials, the report continued. Manufacturing costs can not be reduced sufficiently to benefit the consumer and still leave a margin of profit for the manufacturer. A major obstacle to reduced home costs is unfamiliarity with new construction methods on the part of contractors, it said. o KING GEORGE V ' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and for the future guidance of the new one. A sheet of canvas was drawn across the gate to the churchyard, to screen the grief stricken members of the royal household us much as possible from curious passersby. In Sandringham village, the royal standard on the flagmast of the church was the only flag at full staff, as it was the only flag at full staff in the empire. Soon after the late king's death, his own standard was lowered, and at once the Prince-ot-Wales standard. which had been that of the new king, rose in its place, emblem of the reign of Edward VIII until a new royal standard is raised. In the village today the other flags, on the schoolhouse and the Jittle post office, were half masted. A few villagers, and a few sightseers stood in the bright cold sunshine, holding their wraps round them against a cold breeze from the sea, stood at the jubilee gate of Sandringham house, reading with bared heads the death notice of me late king: “Death came peacefully to His Majesty the king at 11:55 in the presence of Her Maj. sty the queen.

the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess 1 of Kent. "Wlllans, “Hewett, "Dawson." The signers were Sir Frederic Williams, Sir Stanley Hewett and i Lord Dawson of Penn, the late king's physicians. i The bulletin told the story in epitome. One name of the royal family was absent —- that of the Duke of Gloucester, tne third son. He was suffering from a sore throat in Loudon, and could not ■' risk the danger of infecting his • father by coming nere. He was expected today. I The king began to die late yes- • terday. He was in no pain, but I his breath became more and more I labored as he coughed In spams • caused by bronchial catarrh. 1 The doctors announced at 9 a.in.: 1 "The king's life is moving peacefully towards its close.” I it was a peaceful close, for the ■ king was asleep. I I There began a three-hour, hope- ' less tight for the king’s life. Members of the family were waiting in the king's private sitt- ’ | ing room next to his bedroom. The king's breathing softened ' until it was not apparent. He ' slipped from sleep into death so peacefully that it was not known I that he was dead until one of the doctors bent over him. The queen, still erect, kissed her husband and turned to the new king, her eldest son. Tears well- , ed from her eyes as she embraced him. ( The Princess Royal went up to the queen mother—queen no more . since her husband's death — and . comforted her. The archbishop of 11 Canterbury, an old family friend, ' spoke a few words to her. Lord . I Dawson gently took “e queen’s , hans, nodded to the Prince cf I Wales, and led the family back , into the sitting room. — (> DEATH CLAIMS I ( ON . I.M.

KING GEORGE V (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) happy memory, our only lawful liege lord, Edward VIII.” King Edwajd then took the oath to respect the church of Scotland and signed a proclamation preserving the continuity of office of bls ministers and the public services. The king did not appear before his people, who clamored outside. After spending a quiet hour at York house, his residence, he walked hatless across the embassadors' court direct to the state apartment of St. James's palace, perfectly groomed and wearing mourning dress. He held himself erect, but the lines on his face told of his sleepless night of sorrow. The arrival of the lord mayor's coaches for the ceremony, witli the privy councillors in scarlet coats and cocked hats, the judges in wig and gown, and other dignitaries, caused the crowd to break '.hrough the police lines a.t the rear of the palace court. Mounted police rode into the throng, pushing them back. Several among the crowd of 5.000 were knocked down and the police had difficulty clearing the way for the lord mayor’s coaches and the limousines of the others. The lord mayor alighted from his gilded coach, dressed in gay medieval trappings. Four coachmen in buff greatcoats and gold cockaded top hats manned the coach. The king, in his somber morning gurb, wig a dignified, pathetic figure ' amidst the resplendent robes and uniforms of the others. While tile ceremony was in progress tile late king lay in the darkened bedroom of Sandringham house, where lie died. The body will be taken tonight to the little village church where inworshipped, to be guarded by foresters and game keepers from his estate. On Thursday the body will be transported to Westminster Abbey to lie in state until the funeral. It then will be buried among the oaiers kings at Windsor. After approving the proclamation, the privy councillors and others took tin- oa.th of fealty to

lation. Meanwhile, the house appriations committee sought to clear farm program snags by reporting out a deficiency bill giving specific authority for price adjustment payments to cotton farmers. "I do not question the legality of this action (by the supreme court),” Wallace said, "but I certainly do question the justice of it." At the same time the justice department instructed T. S. district attorneys that, in view of the court’s decision, they need no longer seek to hold up distribution of impounded taxes. Wallace asserted the court s order would benefit processors only, and stated the money "represents charges which had, in most eases, already been passed on to con sinners or back to farmers." Wallace said that the AAA is not dead in spite of the supreme court’s invalidation, “and, even more important, the farm sentiment which built up 14 years of strenuous fighting for equality for agriculture is not dead. "Farmers are slow to start, but onco they start they keep on going.” He pointed out that the court, in its decision invalidating AAA. hud expressed disapproval of the idea of “expropriation of money from one group for the benefit of another.” o State Safety Head Addresses Delegates Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 21 —(UP) — Donald F.
