HOUSING BILL GETS FAVORABLE REPORT

Committee Says Federal Aid Needed to Clear Slums.

By United Press WASHINGTON, action on the Housing Bill this session, the House | Banking and Currency Committee in a report to the House said that Federal aid was needed to wipe out “slums and bad housing conditions.” “It is evident,” the report said, “that private enterprise cannot construct safe and sanitary housing at low enough cost to enable it to rent or sell such housing to low income

families who would be served under |

the present bill.” The measure as approved by the House Committee provides for $526.-

000 in Federal aid, compared with |

$£726,000,000 in the bill approved by the Senate. The measure is due to come up for House action Wednesday. It is one of three major bills delaying Congressionzl adjournment. The report stressed that “general welfare will be promoted by the program” under the bill “in that sium and bad housing conditions which are injurious to the health and safety of the citizens of the nation will be alleviated, and that present and recurring unemployment will be relieved.”

FIVE ARE REPORTED INVOLVED IN FIGHT

Two brothers were recovering in

their home today and their alleged assailant was to face charges in Municipal Court as the result of a fight last night involving five persons. Wilton Unverzadt, 20, and Orville Unverzadt, 15, both of 915 E. 11th St. were treated in City Hospital for cuts. Police were told the fight began when the two went to the door of

Dr. Cecil Reynolds, psychiatric surgeon, has presented the boy. He believes Pat has psychic powers. Caryl Fleming, president of Los | : Magicos, southern California magi- | cians’ club, disagreed.

“He never has mystified any of

us. It's just like an cld stock trick:

of magic, not very well done.” The magicians had a chance to prove their theory when Pat appeared before 40 of them last week. In succession, Pat called correctly five out of seven playing cards held close to his forehead. Dr. Reynolds | abruptly ripped off the blindfold, land said the demonstration was | over, Magician Repeats Trick

Then Bert Kalmar, song writer and amateur magician, appeared, wearing Pat's goggles and tape. He held a card near his forehead. “Well, well,” three of diamonds.” He was right, and continued to be | for half a dozen more cards. “Anybody can do it,” he insisted. Out of the confusion came a challenge, which Los Magicos' president said has been accepted for Aug. 23. William W. Larsen, lawyer and Los Magicos’ star rabbit-out-of-the-hat | man, will compete with Pat. Dr. Reynolds will blindfold Mr. Larsen any way he wishes. Mr. Larsen will observe closely and then blindfold Pat the same way. The propostiion is that if Pat can then call the names of cards held near his forehead, Mr. Larsen can, too, and Pat will be proved non- | psychic. Los Magicos won't consider i possibility of Mr. Larsen having a third eye.
