Ickes Called Friend and Foe

Ot Housing

in United States

—y

NEW YORK, June 24 (U. P.).—Langdon W. Post, former New York Housing Authority chairman, severely criticized several aspects of the

Federal Housing program today.

In his book, “The Challenge of Housing,” he said PWA Administrator Ickes, who directed the low-rent, slum clearance program until the U. S.

Housing Authority was set up last®

year, was ‘one of the greatest]

friends and at the same time one of the most dangerous enemies of the public housing movement.” Secretary Ickes’ “thirst for power | and personal credit led him into | channels which often cast shadows | of doubt over the extraordinary | reputation he had built up because | of his honesty and integrity,” Mr. | Post wrote | “He organized the largest and | most complete secret police ever | brought together in Washington for | the purpose of spying on his own| employees. He denounced cities and | states for not organizing local hous- | ing authorities and then refused to | have anything to do with them. He | ranted against the waste and inefficiency of local governments and yet | the cost of his projects throughout | the country was higher than anything of the same sort that had ever been done before.”

Denounces Ballyhoo

Mr. Post said the Federal Housing Administration had been “ballyhooing home ownership to a point that has made the real estate boards and Chambers of Commerce look like a lot of amateur propagandists.” He agreed it has improved construction standards and obtained more honest and liberal financing, but said private enterprise and the Government should “stop inveigling the man with $2500 or $3000 a year!

into buying a house until such time as they can bring the costs down to a point where such a person can afford to own a home. And this happy day is still a long way off.” He conciuded that “private enterprise cannot house one-third of the nation” and that “the other twothirds must help pay for it.” “The one logical way out of the present chaotic situation,” he said, “is to recognize that housing is a public utility, and to give to it precisely the status in our economic system now enjoyed by such other public utilities as railroads, electric power companies and the rest.”

Trained down to sheer stamina and staying power—that’s as ipo: a motor oil as for an athlete! Iso-

motor oil is an exceptional lubricant because of the degree to which Standard’s special “workouts” have trained it down for endurance. Only the longest lasting oil is left in Iso-Vis.

CITIES WARNED T0 SPEED PWAAPPLICATIONS

‘You Ought to Be Proud of Me,” He Tells Newsmen In Citing Wedding.

WASHINGTON, June 24 (U. P). —Secretary of Interior Ickes today

warned cities to get in applications for Public Works Administration projects promptly. Mr. Ickes said there would be p backlog of works projects left whe this program is completed. He was greeted by 60 reporters at his first press conference since his surprise marriage to 25-year-old Jane Dahiman in Ireland. : Mr. Ickes conferred with Mayor Kelly of Chicago regarding the city’s efforts to obtain Federal funds for a $25000,000 subway. He declined to discuss the project except to say the city has submitted its plans and proposes to begin con-

struction in October if the plans are approved. Boasts of ‘Scoops’ “You ought to be proud of me,” Mr. Ickes replied to jocular inquire ies concerning his surprise wedding. “This isn't the first scoop I ever pulled, and some of you may be glad I'm not in the newspaper game.” He then brushed aside jests and said “Let's get down to serious business.” c Mr. Ickes said some projects must be held up until there is a clarification of Federal power policy. An assistant pointed out that there are only 78 working days in which applications may be made and none may be received after Sept. 30. Asked if he believed enough projects would be filed to replace the backlog, Mr. Ickes said “Depression is here so this backlog is supposed to be used up” “This isn‘t the last depression?” he was asked. ‘I'm not a profit,” he replied. “1 think there always ought to be a permanent PWA against depression, and this is a very gooti example.”

AUTOIST SHAKES OFF GUN THREAT BY FAST DRIVING

Watches and Ring Stolen From Lockers at Y. M.-C. A.

Quick thinking by R. C. Weber, 26, of 412 N. Tacoma Ave. thwarted a probable attempted auto holdup last night, according to police. Mr. Weber reported that, as he was driving east on New York St., at Rural St. about 9:30 p. m, a car pulled alongside and the driver pointed a gun at him. “Do you want some of this?” the driver said. Mr. Weber said he “stepped on the gas” and sped down Rural St. to

Washington St. and Emerson Ave., where he pulled into a filling station and called police. The other
