BUILD HOME ON 91,800 A YEAR, PARLEY URGES Plan to Be Given President as High Point of Conference. By'United Prrxs WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.—Presi-! dent Hoover today will receive a detailed report on how the SI,BOO---year man can own his own home, j The report will be presented by j Frederick H. Ecker, chairman of the finance committee of the President's j conference on home building and home ownership, now T meeting here. Its presentation and discussion will mark the high point of the entire conference, since after all collateral studies have been made, the matter of home ownership simmers down to the one problem of financing. The conference, called 'by Mr. Hoover to develop means whereby the man of small income may buy or build without becoming enslaved j to mortgages for years to come, has i before it reports of sixteen other! committees which have been study- 1 ing numerous phases of the prob- \ lem. High spots in these reports in- j elude: Equalization of taxes, imposition; of new types of taxes, and ad-! ministrative economy are essential if the poor man is to get a relatively even break with his rich neighbor. Practically no new buildings have been built in recent years within j the means of two-thirds of the 1 country’s city dwellers. In many cases it now T is cheaper ! to rent than to buy, and until this 'j condition is changed, means must be found to make life easier and less expensive for the poor man. / Elimination of city slums is a crying need. A national campaign against poor housing conditions should be waged by a permanent institute; this institute. with state and local cooperation, to make a continuing study of the whole problem. Other points raised were the. need • of state law's authorizing purchase

and development of neighborhood units; the belief that better housing would result in a reduction in juvenile delinquency; that finance companies should establish a sort of censorship over their loans, lending money only to build homes of sound deign. The conference was told that proper sunlight facilities should be an integral part of home design; that accessories, such as heating plants and refrigeration, make up at present too large a part of the cost of construction; that Negroes are not getting a fair deal in that they are compelled to pay proportionately higher rentals and interest rates. The finance committee report is expected to include indorsement of the home loan discount bank system recently proposed by Hoover to alleviate difficulties of the home owner heavily burdened with mortgages.

SLAYER FOUND GUILTY Clarks Hill Man Sentenced to 2 to 21 Years in Prison. Bv Tailed Press LAFAYETTE. Ind., Dec. 4.—Luther B. Page, 39, of Clarks Hill, was sentenced to from two to twentyone years in state prison Thursday a few minutes after a jury in Tippecanoe circuit court found him guilty of the murder of William E, Wall, 47. Sentence was imposed by Judge Homer V. Hennegar when Page waived his right to petition for a new trial. The jury deliberated more than eighteen hours and it was feared, before the verdict was returned, that the trial would end in disagreement as did Page's first trial. Page was accused of beating Wall to death with a piece of timber when the two men quarreled while working in a grain elevator at Clarks Hill early last summer.
