Federal Government's Housing
Program Still In Planning Stage
By JAMES MARLOW '
1 WASHINGTON The gov
ernment'i public housing pro
gram i slowly getting a start.
Mr rM Dolnt. tlinui-h. It bat only
reached the beginning ot the
planning itage.
Because more than 25,000,000
lew-income people live in slums
and run-down cltv or iarm nomes.
this program passed by congress
and signed Into law by President
Truman last July 15 has three
alms:
1. To wipe out slums, although
this program won't wipe out all
of them.
2. Build houses where low-Income
families who can afford on
ly low rent can get decent
homes.
3. Aid poor farmers In putting
needed repairs on their homes or
building new ones.
Cost In BIIMoni
The cost to the government Is
between $7 billion and $12 billion
spread over 40 years In grants, or
outright gifts of money; plus
about $3 billion or so in loans,
which the government will get
back.
Most of the money will go to
cities and communities. They'll
hire private contractors to clear
the slums and build public hous
ing. The government will help
when the cities and communities
can't pay the bill themselves.
Tne only inmviauais wno u ger
money are poor farmers, If
they're approved by the govern
ment.
And they can't get It unless
they can't get money any other
way. They'll get two kinds of
heln: loans and grants.
The public, low-cost housing
program calls lor hio.uoo units
to De mint in tne next six years.
Progress Slow
Not a nail has been driven in
to a shingle yet under this pro
gram. The program is getting un
der way, but only to this extent:
The government this week ap
proved loans of $20,375,400 to 108
cities to make surveys and plans
for a total of 134,000 low-rent
homes.
Since they're only at the start
of the planning stage, no building
of homes can start before next
year.
When the plans and surveys
are finished, the 108 cities and
communities can come back and
ask the government for help In
building the homes.
The government can make
loans to the communities up to 90
per cent of the total cost of the

New Training
Rules For Vets
Explained By YA
A reminder to veterans of sev
eral new regulations affecting
education and training under the
G. I. bill was issued this week by
the Veterans administration.
The new rules, which went Into
effect November 1, are a result of
recent legislation by the 81st Con
gress banning avocatlonal or
recreational courses for veterans
and prohibiting veterans from en
rolling in schools which have not
been in existence for at least one
year.
A veteran applying for an
original certificate of eligibility,
or for a supplemental certificate,
win be requirea to list on nis ap
plication the name of the course
and school In which he intends to
enroll. The certificate issued by
the VA will be good only for the
course and school specified by the
veteran.
The VA said original and sup
plemental certificates Issued be
fore Nov. 1 will still be honored,
even though they do not contain
the name oi course and school.
However, veterans with unused
certificates should make certain
that the school In which they wish
to enroll and the course they plan
to take are approved by the VA.
veterans who nave previously
taken courses under the G. I. Bill
and who now wish to continue, or
resume, training in different
fields will be required to undergo
counseling from the VA to deter
mine their aptitudes and needs
for the new courses before the
VA will give Its approval.
Veterans who plan additional
courses of training in the same
general Held as their original
educational or Job objectives will
be permitted to enroll without
counseling.
Sec. Symington Calls
B-36 Our "Best Bomber"
FORT WORTH. Texas UP)
Air secretary w. Stuart Syming
ton today called the B-36 ""HI th
best bomber we have." He re
marked this when he landed at
noon from a 30-minute flight in
one bver Carswell air base here.
Senator Russell (D.-Ga.) of the
senate armed services committee
accompanied Symington. He de
scribed the B-36 as a "wonderful
shin."
Whether we Increase the num
ber of groups in the air force or
not, we should keep and improve
the B-3B with times as perilous
in me wona as tnev are." kus-
sell said.
Sen. Johnson fD.-TSxas) went
with Russell and Symington on
the flight the first time that
members of congress have been

"We need to increase the num
ber of groups In the air force and
we need a lot more B-36s," John
son said.

Fred Stroble,
Shunned, Awaits
In Cell For Death
LOS ANGELES, UP) A
man who believes he doesn't de
serve to live sits silent and shun
ned today in a Jail cell, waiting
to pay In kind for the death of a
and then killed.
It may be monthn before he Is
relieved of his enforced compan
ionship with fellow prisoners who
admittedly despise mm.
Aging Fred Stroble, 66-year-old
grandfather, has no choice but to
languish while the machinery of
the law measures out his pun
ishment. Monday Stroble will appear
for a preliminary hearing onne
charge of murdering sljyear-oId
Linda Joyce Glucoft, playmate
of his granddaughter. Some time
next month, if all goes well, his
trial will begin. He was arraign
ed yesterday.
Stroble plans nd defense he
has not even retained an attor
ney but trials take time. If he
Is found guilty of murder in the
first degree and ordered to pay
the death penalty, which the
state says it will ask, Stroble still
must wait. He cannot go to the
gas chamber until the supreme
court has reviewed and upheld
his conviction.
By his own estimate, little Lin
da suffered only eight or 10 min
utes while she was being strang
led, bludgeoned and stabbed.
Linda's body was found Tues
day. An International man-hunt
was Instituted for Stroble. ' H e
was spotted and arrested In a
downtown bar Thursday. Yester
day, while Linda's outraged body
was being entombed, police Be
gan questioning four other little,
girls who said they had been mo
lested by tne tnin-iaced, tnicK
lipped old man.
The police were going o a c K
over their own trail. Stroble had
faced these charges once before
and Jumped ball.
As he watts, Stroble has the
state's assurance that he Is sane.
Dr. Marcus Crahan, county-employed
psychiatrist, said "there
is nothing insane about him."
Stroble apparently loved Linda
very much, says Dr. Crahan.
"But the normal human restraint
of inhibition was lacking in Stro
ble his grip on his impulses had
weakened with his age."
Meantime, her parents, Jules
Glucoft, 36, commercial artist,
and his wife, Lillian, 33, attempt
to find solace at their home.
"Little memories come up so
often," Glucoft said. "We have
to try everything to control ourselves."

Watch Out For

Boot Davis was down with Chicken
Pox. A man of forty-five catching
a kid's diseasel
So I went to see him, armed with
jokes about "second childhood"
but forgot them fast when I got
there. Hoot looked terrible and
had quite a fever.
While we talked, I come to think
of how Chicken Pox is a lot like
other "'diseases" diseases of the
character, snch as intolerance,
self-righteousness or Just plain ig
norance. They're excusable in chil
dren, bnt when they come out in
adults they're ten times as bad
and can be mighty "contagious."
From where I sit, we should all
watch out for the "symptoms"
little things like criticising a per
son's preference for a friendly
glass of temperate beer or ale.
We've seen personal freedom
wither away in other countries,
when individual intolerance was
allowed to get out of hand and be
