FUND TRANSFER SLOWS FEDERAL HOUSING WORK Quarters Completed for Only 124 Families in 3 Cities. By Unit'd Prr WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. The PWA housing division, in operation 18 months with $150,000,000 at Its command, has provided low-cost living quarters for 124 families, the United Press learned today. The organization advanced $lO- - to three private limited dividend projects at Philadelphia, Euclid. 0.. and Altavista. Va. Not on- of the Federal enterprises—tearing doun of tenements in congested me*ropolitan areas and building of model apartments to rent for not more than $7 a room a month — has been completed. The housing administration spent 12 500.000 on Federal project* in the year and a half, signed contracts totaling $3,500,000 and approved 37 slum-clearance developments which will cost $121,500,000. Actual work, however, must wait "at least until June,'* according to officials. Housing Fund Borrowed The delay came, they explained. When President Roosevelt impounded $110,000,000 of housing money, transferring $95,000,000 to the Federal Emergency Pelief Administration to meet needs of unemployed during February. The President took over the money late in January, 16 months after creation of the housing division. The executive's action left the housing division with only $18,000,000 of the $121,500,000 it has promised. Uncertainty of congressional action on the Administration’s $4.880.600 000 may cause additional delay because, until Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins receives the 5880.000.000 relief appropriation li contains, he can not repav housing Its $95,000,000. PWA Administrator Harold L. Ickes and Housing Director Horatio B Hackett explained slowness in getting construction under way by pointing out legal tangles encountered in attempting to purchase land for the slum-eradication developments. Cites 17. S. Obligation Mr. Ickes has favored housing as a feature of public works, declaring "the government has a moral obligation to provide airy, decent living q iters for the poor at a low cast, and wipe out congested slum areas that breed disease and filth.” He intimated that, if Congress approves anew public works fund, housing will receive two or three times its original $159,000,000. New York alone, he said, could use SIOO,000 000. Files of the housing administration showed that only 124 families had been provided with homes so far. Private firms, using Federal funds, built a 60-family apartment at Philadelphia, small frame houses for 50 groups at Altavista, and 14 homes at Euclid. O.

WELFARE CHIEF ASKS PERMANENT CONTROL OVER DIONNE BABIES

By United Brest TORONTO, Feb. 27. David Croll, Ontario welfare minister, plans to propose in the legislature today a bill which, if passed, will bring the Dionne quintuplets under the continued control of his department. The bill is interpreted as the government's answer to reports Olivia and Mrs. Dionne, parents of the quintuplets, would act to break the existing government guardianship over the babies. The bill will vest in the government control of the babies for an indefinite period and present possible exploitation. Passage would automatically place the quintuplets under control of the welfare department and give the government the right to dictate the manner in which they should be brought up.

HULL DEMANDS ‘HANDS OFF 1 ON MEXICANJJRISIS Secretary of State Opposes Borah’s Move for Quiz Into Church War. By United Prett WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The Administration was revealed today as opposing an investigation of alleged religious persecution in Mexico as provided in the Borah resolution. The news caused Senator William E. Borah (R., Idaho), ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, to abandon his intention of forcing a vote on his resolution when the committee meets today. The Idahoan changed his plans when he learned the committee had received a letter from Secretary Cordell Hull. This communication was understood to oppose immediate action on the resolution in ifs present form. The State Department previously has been represented as skeptical of the wisdom of starting an inquiry which might be interpreted as an unfriendly gesture by Mexico. Senator Borah planned to withhold action until he learns cn what grounds the Secretary bases his objection. He will then decide on what strategic steps he will take to bring the resolution up. Senator Borah has said he has no preconceived ideas on the nature or extent or even the actual existence of religious persecution. It was for this reason that he wanted the investigation made. He believes an inquiry would be justified because the alleged persecutions may affect American citizens or may cause refugees to flee into thjs country, where they are likely to become public charges.
