ROOSEVELT MAY ANNOUNCE NEW HOUSING DRIVE President Studies Plans to Stimulate Construction Industry. BY HIIH FINNEY Timn hoerial H nter WASHINGTON, April 20.—Following an old, reliable maxim of the nursery that it is better to divert the mind of a fractious child than to give in to it or punish it, President Roosevelt seems to be getting together something new in the way of recovery advices to make congress and the country forget about inflation. In spite of official silence on the subject, there is little doubt here that President Rocsevelt plans to address the country soon. His recovery aces are hard at work preparing material for him. The White House buzzes with activity. This speech may serve to turn the spotlight away from some of the problems to which answers have' not been found and on to the new program, whatever it is. The fact that the President fitted a conference on housing into one of the busiest days of his week, putting it ahead of the scheduled silver conference and action on the crucial coal situation, has led to guesses that this is the subject of ’the new drive. The administration has been trying for weeks to work out a plan to stimulate private construction. Half a dozen false starts have been made, only to followed by retreat for further study. If a plan has been worked out at last, and if it has been decided to put General Hugh Johnson in charge of it—a rumor which gains color from the general's presence at the White House conference Thursday—the resulting firew'orks should be enough to take the headlines away from silver, frozen bank deposits and farm mortgages for quite a while. If this is the program, it may be designed also to take the minds of congressional liberals from the great difference between the $lO,000,000.000 public works appropriation they are asking and the $500,000,000 appropriation the administration favors. For months, NRA officials have been saying that little more can be done to relieve unemployment until the industries where unemployment is greatest—construction, material and machine manufacturing industries, for instance—have been stimulated. Private building totaled $5,416.000.000 in 1923. In 1933, it amounted to just $580,000,000. The 89 per cent drop, meaning a similar drop,

Representative William B. Bankhead 'Dem., Ala.), above, becomes chairman of the powerful house rules committee, with the death of Representative Edward Pou 'Dem., N. C.). Bankhead, who has served nine terms in congress, is co-author of the important cotton acreage reduction bill—and father of the famed actress, Tallulah Bankhead. in material industries, accounted for millions of the total of unemployed. Today, though there has been some slight improvement, bureau of labor statistics figures show that employment in plumbers’ supply industries stands at 57.2 when 100 represents a three-year average of employment; in steam and hot water heating apparatus industries the figure is 45.8; in structural and ornamental metal work, 53.9; in cast iron pipe, 50.3. Figures already collected by administration officials in their study of the problem indicate that attention will be concentrated on construction of residences. It has been five years since any great amount of residential building took place and the country's dwellings are now about 800.000 below its reasonable needs, according to John H. Fahey, chairman of the federal home loan board. In a normal year about 400.000 houses usually are built. Last year the total was only 50,000.

COMMISSIONERS ORDER MONTHLY UTILITY FIGURES 200 Indiana Companies Are Affected by New Ruling. Public service commissioners today passed a blanket order requiring all utilities to submit monthly reports regarding their business. Forms were sent out by the accounting department which provide for detailed information regarding earnings, expenditures, property improvements, dealings with affiliated companies and other pertinent information. Up to the present time, the companies have been required to report only once each year and then the reports were largely filed without reading. Approximately 200 companies are affected by the new order. A special report form covering operations for 1933 also was mailed with the monthly report data and in the same order the special report was ordered filed by May 1. The special report will reveal names of stockholders, officers, directors, investments and similar financial structure details. “The commission believes.” the order says, "that in order that it may be at all times informed as to the trend of changes and adjustments in the business of public utilities, the fluctuation of operating costs and revenues, and upon other matters affecting the determination and fixing of proper rates for the srvics rendered by such utilities, that it is reasonable and proper that all electric utilities, Class A and B telephone utilities and Class A and B water utilities be required to file monthly reports on forms provided by the commis-

BULLET IN MUSCLES OF HEART REMOVED, VICTIM TO RECOVER

By United Prett TOLEDO, 0., April 20.—Richard Ellsworth grinned through tight lips at Dr. Noris Gillette and said: “Go to it, doc.” For many long minutes the physician worked feverishly. His instruments of steel followed a delicate trail, through the ribs, around a collapsed lung. Then Mr. Ellsworth's heart lay exposed. Its beat was plainly audible in the hush of the room. Finally the physician straightened. Mr. Ellsworth was wheeled out of the operating room. Dr. Gillette had performed one of the most delicate operations known to modern surgery. He had removed a bullet from the muscles of the heart. Mr. Ellsworth, who shot himself accidentally while cleaning a revolver, is expected to recover.
