Problems facing cities of Ore gon, many of which are becoming more and more serious, will be taken up at a series of regional meetings to be sponsored by the League of Oregon Cities, accord ing to word received here from Herman Kehrll, executive secre tary of the group and director of the University of Oregon bureau of municipal research. Officiate of Cottage Grove and other cities in this area will at tend the meeting to be held in Eu gene March 29. Means of obtaining revenue to offset that lost as a result of the decision on illegality of pin-ball machines, plans for licensing games of skill which may appear as substitutes for the machines, role of the city in labor disputes, building codes and zoning with particular reference to federal housing construction, regulation of driveways and curb-cutting, rela tionship of cities to the proposed utility districts and the Bonne ville dam, and codification of or dinances are among the many problems to be up for discussion. No formal programs will be ar- ranged and all present will be in- vited to Join in discussions. Campaign Against Gray Diggers Will Be Launched Again Poison Barley to Be Sold at Cost for Use in Poisoning the Ground Squirrel Pests Much Local Interest in Plan Designed to Spur Construction of Homes That there te a very real local interest in the Federal Housing Act was clearly evident Tuesday when one of the largest atten dances at a reegular meeting in recent months assembled at the Palace cafe for the chamber of commerce meeting, where Mr. Nadeau of Eugene discussed and explained with illustrated charts and graphs, the various phases of the act designed to spur the building and remodeling of homes. Other guests from out of town included United States District Attorney Carl C. Donaugh, candi date for the democratic nomina tion for the United States Senate: C. Laird McKenna, seecretary of the "Donaugh for Senator” com mittee and former NRA director for Oregon; A. Ray Martin, direc tor of the U. S. employment ser vice of Eugene: and E. W. Smith, who heads the "Re-elect Martin tor Governor” committee. Mr. Douaugh spoke briefly, not on his coming campaign, but on law enforcement topics, and cited the decline in organized crime, and the extinction of criminal gangs of the Dillinger, and Baby Face Nelson class during recent years. Since the active participation of the federal government in law en forcement, the speaker stated, there has been a decided decrease in major crimes. Since the passage of the Lindbergh kidnapping law. of the 108 cases of that crime on record, 107 have been solved, the speaker stated. Bank robberies have d«'creased 75 per cent since It ha* become a federal crime to rob a national bank. Federal offi cers are more than ready to ex tend cooperation to local police officers, Mr. Donaugh said. Mr Nadeau spent more than an liour explaining various phases of the Federal Housing act, and in answering questions, Briefly he explained that the act was divided into two titles, one devoted to loans intended for remodeling. which are short term loans (most ly from three to five years, ap parently at the option of the local lending institution). These loans are guaranteed by the federal housing administration to the ex tent of 10 per cent. The second group—Title II, is for the purpose of new construc tion, and is broken down into three classes, one for private homes, one for groups of one to four houses, and a third group for ten houses or apartment house units or more. Loans under this title while made by local lending institutions, are guaranteed 100 per cent by the federal housing administration. While technically it is possible for a borrower to secure a loan under title II equivalent to 90 per cent of the value of the property, the speaker made it plain that loans to this extent would likely be quite few. and only made where the borrower was considered an exceptionally good credit risk. Mr. Smith, speaking briefly on behalf of the reelection of Gov ernor Martin said, "the only thing we have to fear is over-confi dence.” Gray digger ground squirrels will again be fought in the annual Lane county campaign against Bellingham man has been excus- tiles«.' pests, according to County ed twice by the police judge for Agent O.
