dred workmen are employed. The College Colonial Court at 52d St. and College Ave. is considered
| five doubles by. the Building De[Eo although the units are to
be managed like an apartment
|| building. They carry a $31, 000 FHA
up to $5400 and have the loan guaranteed by the FHA. The builder
has 25 years to pay. Those desiring’
to build larger units for investment may borrow up to $16,000 for 20 years at the same rate and have their payments guaranteed by the Government. “Frozen funds” in banks and an acute housing shortage here are the principal reasons for the public's ~ acceptance of the FHA plan, Earl " Peters, State administrator, says. - About 60 per cent of the new residences are being built north of 52d St, 30 per cent on the East Side and 20 per cent in south Indianapolis, dealers estimate.
Suburban Trend Shown
The mushroom growth beyond 52d St. from the Butler University area to east of Broad Ripple is part of a trend to “suburban living.” Those areas, as one realtor
t\. puts it, are “high, dry and hand-
some.” An increase in home building usually can be expected to swell home furnishings sales. Pew families want to move into a new home with furniture nicked by Junior’s scuffing or armchairs: on which Tabby has sharpened her claws. A canvas of local home furnishings buyers shows that sales are much better than a year ago. One dealer estimated sales were up 15 to 25 per cent. Another stated: “Home furnishing sales are booming all over the country. Greater interest has been created by homes which are scientifically planned. hey need the new, modern furniure.
Makes Buying Possible
“The FHA plan has made it possible for home builders to spend more for furniture. When a home can be constructed for payments that are little ‘more than monthly rent, a surplus is left in the family budget. “Prices are generally down and the quality up. This has resulted from quantity manufacturing of scientifically designed furniture. Another. factor is that installment buying has become dignified. A few years ago only those in the low and medium income level were buying on payments. Now everyone is buying that way.” General economic and world political conditions are better and the fear of war has lessened, others say. Families are losing their mental uncertainty and planning for the future. Mr. and Mrs. Public also have become ~ “style conscious” about home interiors, another buyer stated. Lower opriced furniture which is improved in style and of greater value is what is being sold.
Built-ins Affect Sales
The rise in kitchen furniture sales has not been as marked as " sales in bedroom, living and dining room pieces since many of the new homes have built-in kitchen cabinets and equipment. All dealers agreed that the home furnishing dollar has greater purchasing power than in the past. Apartment constmiction which from 1929 to 1936 was as stagnant as stale water rippled to an $800,¢ 000 total last year. | A $180,000 permit was granted for the Fairfield Colonial! Apartments at 34th St. and Fairfield Ave. These consist of 54 units built with a FHA approved mortgage. The same month a $350,000 permit was granted for the 84-unit Harrison Apartments at 1320 N. Delaware St., which have just been completed. The Shortridge Apartments, 3601 N. Meridian St., also were begun during 1938. The building has 24 units.
Twin Unifs Completed
Sixty-six units were completed in the twin Pleasant View and Elms Apartments at Linwood Ave. and E. Washington St. Each permit was for $74,000. This year’s apartment valuations spurted to $1,200,000, principally because of the Marcy Village project. Although -the permit is for $1,195,000, the total cost of construction will be about $1,680,000; $1,320,000 of this was obtained by an FHA backed mortgage and the FHA holds stock in the apartment ecom-
pany. : ~ | The 19-building project on 59th St., ‘least of the Monon Railroad, is one of the-largest private housing structures ever built in the Middle West. In addition to the apartments which will house 277 families there are being built five store rooms and 126 garages. The project
-| approved mortgage. home they build now can borrow
Business Building Gains
Industrial and business building, long absent because of the first and secondary = post-War depressions, has returned—and with it the “Men Wanted” signs. Two $125,000 permits were issued last year—one for the Indianapolis
Fairview Terrace, another for the addition to the Pittman-Moore Co., pharmaceutical and biological chemists at 1220 Madison Ave. The Central Ohio Paper Co.
Ohio St. and the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. built a $16,000 combina-
St. and Boulevard Place. Whistles will blow at even more industrial plants by the end of this year. A $250,000 plant for making electrical transcriptions is rising for the RCA Manufacturing Co. at 501 N. LaSalle St. The Link Belt Co. is constructing a one-story factory addition at 220 S. Belmont Ave, and a $35,000 addition to the Levy Printing Co. at 2020 Montcalm St. is under way.
Stores ‘Popping up’
Stores and other business properties are popping up like spring dandelions. The Indiana Bell Telephone Co.’s new $62,000 TalbotWabash exchange at 30th and Pennsylvania Sts., has pushed up to the third story. The Merchants National Bank has been issued a $38,000 permit for a branch at 38th and Salem Sts. Storerooms with a construction value of $16,000 and $15,000 have been built at 5539 E. Washington St. and at 5603 E. Washington St., respectively. A new $10,000 sandwich shop of dumbell shape construction is sprouting at 38th St. and Coliseum Ave. The swing in all types of building construction has been swooping upward since 1933. Predictions today for the near future indicate the trend will continue. Today, 21st in population, the City stands 10th in building construction.
POPE MAKES PLEA FOR WORLD PEAGE
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, Aug. 19 (U. P.).—His Holiness Pope Pius XII made a moving appeal to the nations for peace in a benediction imparted today to a group of Hungarian pilgrims who * visited the
of the 25th anniversary of the death of Pope Pius X. Imparting the Apostolic benediction, the Pope said: “We desire this benediction, because of present circumstances, to be above all for peace. Peace for Italy, peace for Europe, peace for the world. The benediction then goes to the admirable pontiff whom today we have recalled in dear and holy memory,. and whose heart was broken by the outburst of war, almost as if he had foreseen all the horrors ana destruction which the World War produced.” His Holiness yesterday received Casimir Papee, Polish ambassador, and it was believed the GermanPolish situation was discussed.

"40 HOPEFULS T0 TOUR WEST
Taft and Bridges Among Those Planning to Trail McHale.
(Continued from Page One)
next few weeks to begin a series of speeches presenting his views on major issues. Whether he will select Western spots for some of his addresses has not been announced,
jbut such a choice is likely. He has
been giving much study lately to the farm related problems First to cross the Mississippi will be Senator Taft, whose jaunt to the Pacific Coast, by easy stages, will begin about Sept. 1. Senator Taft will go into territory interested in farm relief, reclamation, irrigation-and water power. He may get the reaction on some of his votes in the last Congress which were looked at askance by various of his colleagues. He voted against appropriations for further expansion of the TVA project in Tennessee, while Republican Senate Leader McNary, who is from Oregon, voted with the Roosevelt Administration on this issue. Two of the Government’s giant power and reclamation projects are in the Northwest, which Mr. Taft will cover in his tour—Bonneville in Oregon and Grand Coulee in
| Washington.
Took. Conservative Side
Senator Taft also voted, in the closing days of Congress, against additional funds for the Commodity Credit Corp. the agency which makes loans on various crops to permit. farmers to hold their surpluses off the market and protect the price. The Ohio Senator has followed a conservative, anti-New Deal course in the Senate, unlike most of the Western Senators. So, too, has Senator Bridges, who will open his tour with a speech at Pittsburgh Sept. 16 and will: move Westward by auto to the coast, the tour lasting until
‘Nov. 1.
Mr. McHale is overlooking no McNutt bets on his current trip. It might be compared to that made in 1931 by James A. Farley, whose efforts bore a rich crop of delegates for Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 Chicago convention.
F. D. R. Starts Tour Oct. 1
President Roosevelt plans to begin his Western tour about Oct. 1. This will be, by all odds, the banner political event of the next few months. It may determine whether the President will ask a third term. It will be a crusade for continuation of the New Deal, whether under himself or another, and for the nomination of a liberal by the Democrats in 1940. The President is expected to have much to say about the defeat by Congress of his lending-spending bill and his housing bill, in an attempt to rally support for revival of these measures at the next session. While
speeches will be for the country at large.

Deliver Mail Lost 9 Years
HE laws of physics conspired today to deal a blow at the traditional efficiency of the Indianapolis Postoffice. Vibration, caused by the steady pounding of downtown traffic and wind, dislocated a mail chute connection in the Circle Tower Building, Postal Authorities said, with the result that 10 letters got lost. The letters, mailed between six and nine years ago, were found Thursday in a crevice between the chute and the mailbox by a postoffice crew repairing the chute. With the exception of two, all have been sent to addressees or returned to senders. “The only way I know to account for it is vibration,” Superintendent of Mails John H. Rothert said. “Vibration apparently caused the bottom of the chute to move an inch or two from the top of the mailbox.” It won’t happen again, he said. The crevice has now been soldered to the chute. :
HIT BY GAR, SOARS
15 FEET INTO AIR
CLEVELAND, Aug. 19 (U. P.)— Three-year-old Bobby Dunn found out today just how it feels to be a
football. : Furthermore, Tony Galeto, $50, learned how it feels to make the catch that saves the game—but it was young Bobby, not a game, that he saved. An automobile driven by Charles Hopson, 22, skidded over a curb into a group consisting of Dorothy Dunn, 13, pushing Bobby in a baby buggy, and her four small sisters. The car struck the buggy and hurled the child through the air— 15 feet right into the quick Galeto’s arms.
SUES PASTOR-FATHER FOR $10,000 DAMAGE
WABASH, Ind, Aug. 19 (U. P.).— Charging that remarks his father, the Rev. Noah McCoy, made in the presences of others had caused him to be removed from two pulpits, Kenneth McCoy of South Whitley today had filed suit for slander asking $10,000 damage. Mr, McCoy said in his suit, filed in the Wabash Circuit Court, that he had been ordained in the United Brethren ministry and had served two churches near South Whitley. He claimed his father, pastor of the North Manchester United Brethren Church, circulated reports he- was addicted to narcotics, was insane, and was a “thoroughly disreputable and bad moral person.”
LEG IRONS ON SONS PUT FATHER IN COURT
ELIZABETH, N. J. Aug. 19 (U. P.). — Joseph Naturile’s plan for keeping his two sons out of mischief —he put leg irons on them—led him to Juvenile Court today charged with cruelty to children. The irons consisted of a two-foot chain and a padlock which impeded movement. A passerby reported police that he saw Dominic Naturi
13, toddling around in a junk yard ?
with the chain dragging. The lad directed investigators to his home where a brother, Frank, was wearing the same device. The father said the boys had been accused of stealing automobile accessories.

P.). —Orlando Ferrara, 25, who rode a bicycle here from New York in 1931 and has almost starved in a garret trying to-become an actor learned today that a relative in Italy had left him $12,000,000. “Gosh, that’s a lot of money,” he said. “It sounds like a dream. And here I've been watching my pennies —pacing myself until payday.”
“I couldn't speak English,” he.
said. “I worked as a busboy and did almost everything honorable you can think of to make three squares a day and a place to sleep.

high-ranking members of the committee could order the two investigators to turn over any new developments in the case to Mr. Nolan. Mr. Shillito and Mr. Connelly refused to discuss their conference in the District Attorney's office. A steady stream of witnesses filed into the committee’s headquarters in the Federal Building yesterday, but upon leaving, all were noncommittal, refusing to: divulge. their names
or any of their discussions.
Meanwhile, it was learned that special reassessment may be made on subdivisions near Southport and property adjoining Ritter Ave. because of improvements through WPA projects now being investigated. May Oder Special Levies
Although the State Tax Board has advised that no general reassessment be made next year because it will be election year, it is believed that special reassessments may be ordered because addition of streets, curbs, gutters and driveway entrances has enhanced the value of the land. The last general: appraisal - of Perry Township property, where the Homecroft, Derbyshire and Walnut Hills subdivisions are located, was made eight years ago. It 1s 00 late to make any reassesment this year but one could start next March 1, it was learned. : James F. Cunningham, Center Township assessor, who has jurisdiction over the Ritter Ave. property, said the property would automatically be assessed as lots instead of as acreage.
Inspected by Nolan
Mr. Nolan made a personal inspection this week of WPA projects where reports of irregularities have been made. Upon his return he declared he would seek indictments from a Federal Grand Jury if Fed-|. eral statutes have been vioiated. Other projects scrutinized in addition to the Ritter Ave. extension include improvement of Barth Ave. and Grube St. in the Walnut Hills subdivision, sewer construction and extension of Maynard Ave. in Homecroft, and building -of Loretta Ave. and Fable Ave. in the Derbyshire addition. Fable Ave. ends in the middle of an apple orchard, Mr. Nolan said: Other streets cut through property on which there are no houses and in one subdivision 41 of 48 lots were owned by one man, the District Attorney declared. The Congressional committee is concerning itself not only with irregularities reported in WPA projects, but also with administration of WPA in Indiana. The probe, begun in Marion County, is expected to cover the entire state. Numerous complaints have been received from all the major cities, it was learned. Records, expense accounts ‘and lists of persons who may have benefited
are to be probed.

In the past, Admiral - Horthy, Hungarian regent, has made the return of Slovakia a price for the signature of a full military alliance with Germany. Hungary lost Slovakia by the terms of the Treaty of Trianon after the World War. Although the military agreement was announced by a German Foreign Office spokesman, the official DNB German news. agency denied there was any. new “military alliance.’ D said negotiations with the Slovakian Government regarding a “protective area” under the agreement of last March 23 simply have been concluded. :
Press Attacks Poland
The German press continued its campaign for Danzig with bitter attacks on Poland, charging ‘“atrecities” and persecution of the German minority there. DNB charged that three German citizens had been arrested by members of the Polish “revolutionaries association,” who had allegedly taken up police duties in the minority area of Upper Silesia when regular police were drafted as frontier guards. Nazi authorities at Praha charged that a Polish policeman had chased a Czech woman across the border of the Czech protectorate and that a second policeman had fired several shots across the border at her. Headlines such as “Polish terrorism from Dirschau to Upper Silesia”—that is, from the Danzig border to the Czech Protectorate—continued to be featured inthe Nazi press. "Vacations Interrupted
Britain was alert to the situation. Viscount Halifax, foreign secretary, cut short his Yorkshire vacation to watch international situation from London. Sir Nevile Henderson, British Ambassador to Berlin, went to Salzburg ostensibly to attend the international motorcycle races. It was believed his real putpose was see either Fuehrer Hitler or Herr on .Ribbentrop over the week-end, ince both are vacationing near alzburg. | President Albert Lebrun of France interrupted his vacation yesterday to ake a surprise inspection of the reat Maginot Line of fortifications opposite the German frontier. Danzig, which until today had seemed the center of Europe's threatening crisis, admitted today that its bread-basket is Poiand. The Danzig Senate extended for three months an agreement with Poland for obtaining milk, butter and eggs to supply the Free City, which has a population about the size of Marion County. Germany, which has a serious shortage of fats, could not supply. the city she wishes to annex. Danzig police ordered Scot Watson, London Daily Herald correspondent, to leave the Free City territory at once, charging that he had been guilty of “false reporting.”

A.F.L DUSTER DIVIDES 1.
Printers Suspended After Failure to Help Finance Battle on C. I. 0.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Aug. 19 (U. P.).—The International Typographical Union, charter member of the A. F. of L., and one of its strongest unions, was under suspension today for failure to con-
tribute $22,000 to help the A. F. of L.
battle the C. I. O.
President William Green announced the suspension at the meeting of the Federation's executive council and said that unless the $22,000 assessment, now two years overdue, is paid by October, delegates of the printers’ union would not be seated at the A. F. of Ls Cincinnati convention. The order came on the eve of the Typographical Union’s annual convention opening at Ft. Worth, Tex., where the question of capitulating to the A. F. of L. demands will have to be decided. President Claude Baker of the printers was ordered by the A. F. of I. a year ago to submit the issue to a referendum vote: of his union but could not obtain sufficient support from locals to do so. The Typographical Union has consistently opposed the Federation's anti-C. I, O. campagin and its officers have been leaders in several efforts to bring about peace. The late Charles P. Howard served
| asi secretary of the C. I. O. while
president of the I. T. U.
Officers of I. T. U. Divided in Views
FT. WORTH, Tex., Aug. 19 (U. P.). —Officers of the International Typographical Union were divided in their views today on the action of the A.

political faction, said the question of | “going C. I. O.” never had arisen.
John J. Conley, a vice president, said “the I. T. U. eventually will see the necessity of returning to the organization (A. F. of L.) which 1 mothered in 1889.”
PRICELESS LOUVRE PAINTING DAMAGED
PARIS, Aug. 19 (U. P.).—The priceless Watteau painting called “L’Indifferent,” which was taken from the Louvre Museum by an erratic young painter, Serge Bogousslavsky, has been seriously damaged in the “borrower’s” efforts to retouch it, experts declared today. The experts said the young painter had done a bad job, covering|} the canvas with varnish and oil. However, they Jetieved the picture could be saved. |
