Foreign Ministers - Open N. Y. Talks Monday.

By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 2-—-The Big Four foreign ministers, gathering here today on the eve of their council meeting next week, faced a revolt by Germany's small westernd neighbors. The small nations object to exclusive Big Four framing of the German peace treaty even In its preliminary stages. The Netherlands, ‘Belgium and Luxembourg delivered thejr demarches to the United States, Great Britain, Soviet Russia and France two days before the council of foreign - ministers convenes Monday at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Each of the three countries desires some territory from Germany. The Big Four meets to try to write final treaties for | Hitler's satellites and then begin preliminary ‘discussibns on Germany. Bevin Lands Today British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin arrives here today aboard the 8. 8. Aquitania. The Big Four deputies who have been working on

suggested amendments ever since the Paris peace conference ended Oct. 15, are on the same ship. Mr. Byrnes will fly here from Washington tomorrow to confer with his deputy, James Clement Dunn, and probably to have advance talks with Mr. Bevin and Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov.

HINTS CHIANG READY FOR COALITION RULE

" NANKING, Nov. 2 (U. P)—A top Nationalist negotiator announced today, according to unconfirmed Chinese press reports, that the government has agreed to reorganise the state council om an all-party coalition basis. Presumably the reorganization would make way for some Communists members. The negotiator, Shao Li-tze, was quoted as saying the government also plans to reorganize the executive Yuan after the national assembly convenes Nov. 12. Mr. Shao reportedly made his announcements after he and other top government negotiators met Kaishek. The group drew up the government’s reply to a third party proposal for direct peace negotiations between the Nationalists and the Communists. Third party leaders met this morning” to discuss the government reply. The Communists, however, were understood still insisting on a stop to hostilities and adherence to decisions of the political consultative council before viewing any government overtures.

virtue of control over huge numbers of patronage beneficiaries. Popular reaction has tended to be against the national Democratic administration in Washington accord~ ing to expert observers and surveys. While the bulk of the election is at a state level, Republicans have played almost exclusively on this popular reaction as they -see it. Observers are inclined to agree with the optimistic G. O. P. that Democratic national mistakes have far overshadowed the Republican

mistakes made in Indiana.

Since the public is conceded by all practical politicians to “vote its prejudices, not its convictions,” the magnitude of each party's bad judgment would appear to affect elections far more than the good things it has done. All these factors are géneral on a statewide basis, and are regarded as weighing in favor of Republicans in every district. In the first district, ‘however, Democratic strength of past years would indicate the Democrats coul afford to lose nearly 40 per cent o. the vote ‘they polled in 1944 and still . squeak through - with Mr. Madden.

Expect Light Loss

The loss is not expected to be this heavy, hence the preponderance of

‘| belief that Mr. Madden will return

to congress. In the eighth district, intraparty factionalism appears to have weakened both parties about equally. The district, however, normally is so heavily Democratic it would appear able to weather a sharp Republican switch and still elect a Democratic congressman. Rep. LaFollette has been elected twice in the district on a “scratch” by Democratic voters, particularly labor groups. : This vote is expected to return to the Democratic fold for Mr. Denton, particularly in view of the fact that Mr. LaFollette bolted his own party and indorsed Mr. Denton as his successor, \ Puzzle Arises Here Inthe puzzling 11th district, Mr. Ludlow generally is “regarded as good for about 7000 Republican votes, “scratches” by the otherwise solidly Republican aaa north side. For this reason, he wid appear, to have about a 14,000-vote edge on his Republican opponent—7000 subtracted from Mr, Beveridge and the same 7000 added ‘to. Mr. Ludlow’s total. Most quarters, however, sxpect Indianapolis to go Republican by more than a 14,000-vote plurality. If this occurs, Mr. Beveridge is expected to overcome the 14,000 vote handicap of his popular opponent and Win by a narrow margin. 4

Considered E. 46th St. Site After securing the used, prefabricated dwellings from the federal public housing administration in. Chicago, the non-profit corporation then turned its attention to finding land on which to erect them,

The members considered a site on E. 46th st. but rejected it for sev~ eral reasons, one of which was that the project would affect adversely property values in. that neighborHood. They chose the Tacoma Village site because it was level and sit- |, uated in an area which would not, | in their judgment, be adversely affected by the project. Members of the corporation laid their plans before executiyes of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and kept Mayor Tyndall's emergency housing committee advised of their progress. " Tract Bought for $22,500 The Tacoma tract, subdivided into 150 lots, was purchased for the corporation by Charles O, Grinslade of the Grinslade Construction Co., 1127 E. Ohio st, from the Security Trust Co. for $22,500 cash, This "deal was made on July 22, 1946. On Aug. 1, Mr. Grinslade resold one half of the land—15 lots— to the non-profit corporation for $52,500. He retained the other half for future development or resale. Mr. Grinslade stipulated that the $41,250 difference between his cost for one-half of the tract—$11,250— and the cost to the corporation— $5! was the approximate cost of improving 75 lots for residential use. The Grinslade Construction Co. agreed to bear the improvement cost. Profit $60 per Lot It was mutually agreed, however, that Mr. Grinslade was entitled to hy “reasonable profit” for his risk n purchasing the ground and hold1 it for 10 days. This profit came to $60 on each of the 75 lots, or a total of $4500. Thomas Grinslade, Mr. Grinslade’s brother and partner in the company, broke down the costs by lot as follows: Original cost of lot Cost of installing sewer per

GnETRGHvIR SG all 191 on of curb, sidewalk, gravel street per lot .............. Miscellaneous costs (abstract, surveys, ete.) ........ aesses 33 Seller's profit ......co0 ooo... 8 Cost to veteran .............. $700

In addition to the cost of the lots, which have approximately 150-foot frontage and 160-foot depth, the veteran will pay the cost of house, the cost of transporting it from Kingsford Heights to Indianapolis, and the costs of erection, repairs, wiring, plumbing, grading, sodding seeding.

The $663 average cost of the houses can be broken down as follows: One bedroom home, $524; two

bedrooms, $509; three bedrooms, $719. Contracting costs on hauling,

erecting and making the houses livable have been -totaled by Henry

PORTER ROLE IS | OPA FIGUREHEAD |

Washington Wonders If He'lt Accept It. By E MONBERG

, United Press Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. Chief Paul Porter's future place in the Washington official family was a moot topic today. .- It had become apparent that the OPA's decontrol problem is being directed by Reconversion Director John R. Steelman, not Mr. Porter. Whether he cares to remain at the OPA helm under ‘these circumstances, Mr. Porter himself declined: to say. Those close to him said he')l “probably see the OPA fight through.” But OPA officials say the fight is already over. . Overruled Second Time

With more than 40 per cent of .

the economy decontrolled, and with wholesale decontrol orders coming out almgst daily, they admit OPA already is setting up plans for liquidation in the belief that congress will complete the job of putting it out of business when it convenes in January. Last night, for the second time

in two days, Dr. Steelman overruled -

Mr. Porter on deeontrol policy when he wiped out an OPA textile order said by southern congressmeg to be slowing cotton purchases by facturers. Previously, Dr. Steelman erdered the decontrol of shoes, hides, and leather, to OPA's complete—and acknowledged—surprise. Some OPA officials were openl skeptical that the action will do ne good. They said the real reason manufacturers aren't buying is that they're afraid theyll be “caught” with a lot of high-priced cotton.
