Here's Really Tough Assignment
Covered By Dauntless Reporter
E
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. UPJ
Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes conferred today with private
and official experts on how to
establish the $500,000,000 low-cost
housing and slum clearance pro
gram under the recently enacted
Wagner act.
Approximately 40 civic leaders,
federal officials, congressmen,
. local and state housing authorities,
real estate representatives, social
students and clergymen were in
vited here by Ickes to discuss
methods for getting the huge pro
gram underway as soon as pos
sible. "There are many shades of opin
: ion as to how the program should
be conducted," Ickes said. "As the
United States housing authority is
to be part of the interior depart
ment, I have invited these leaders
to obtain a cross-section of opin
ions." . ,
It was the first official step
taken by Ickes to speed the pro
gram. A $10,000 a year admin
istrator for the housing authority
is yet to be named by President
Roosevelt.
Three Considered
At least three persons, whose
names have been mentioned for
the post, were invited to today's
sessions. They are Nathan Straus,
of the New York city housing au
thority; Director Howard A. Gray,
of the public works administration
housing division, and Langdon W.
Post, president of the American
Federation of Housing, New York.
Ickes said that the session wduld
be devoted to a "general discus
sion" of the housing act and that
"determination will be sought as
to the methods by which the new
housing authority can get its dif
ficult program underway most ef
fectively." Meanwhile, Ickes department
was continuing efforts to induce
states to enact enabling legislation
immediately as one way to speed
creation of local housing authori
ties that could participate in the
federal-aid housing program.
Tin,, ihm Wnffnpr art. the fed
eral government- can make loans
up to 90 per cent of the cost of
construction of the projects to

interests, to maintain project rent.'

IUYA AID LISTED
Frtitni-' nnta: Frederick C. Oth-
man, United Press Hollywood cor
respondent, was assigned to cover
a western nudists' convention.
Following is his dispatch.
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
SUNNY TERRACE NUDIST
COLONY, Sequel, Cal., Sept. 21.
(U.PJ America's biggest nudist
convention and nude is right!
convened here Friday for two days
of fun and frolic and goose pimples
in the altogether.
Each of the 400 delegates to the
meeting of the American Sun-
Bathing association had to take off
every stitch of clothes before
James F. Curl, the serious young
manager, would let him register.
His only concession concerned
shoes. He let us nudists keep them
on, because of the splintery rocks.
Curl and Hobart Glassey of Los
Angeles, president of the Frater
nity Elysia, are the only naKea
folks here whose full names are
available. Everybody else goes by
his first name, because of what
Curl calls "public prejudice."
Can't Realize
"We have judges here and their
wives and doctors and lots of im
portant people -and they do not
dare reveal that they are nudists,"
he said. "People still cannot seem
to realize that nudists are perfectly
moral people."
He turned to lead us Into the
bunkroom of the club house and
continued:
Now you undress in here and
then I'll introduce you to all the
other guests."
Reluctantly we removed our
shirt and our pants and got down
to our union suit.
"That comes off too," Curl said.
Don't feel embarassed. You'll see
a lot of people who look as funny
as you do."
So there we stood at last in our
birthday suit. All we wore was a
wrist watch. A lot of good that did!
"You look .fine," Curl said. "Now
come into the living room and
we'll meet the jdrls."
Never did man's regs quaver
more than ours when we stumbled
Into the parlor where stood Irma
and Diana and Leona and Lura
and a couple of Marys and some
Maries, some red headed, some
blonde, some thin, a few fat and
they didn't even have wrist
watches.
Other men and women In their
birthday suits were splashing out
side in the pool. Some were
strolling through the woods, which
Curl insisted had been cleared of
poison ivy. Others rested in the
sun, with towels over their eyes
to keep out the glare.
Several more watched a tennis
match between a girl named Eloise
and a, woman of perhaps 45 who
said her name was Elsa. She
weighed nearly 200 pounds and as
she ran she quivered.
The longer we watched, the red
der became our ears. Elsa looked
our way and smiled. We fled.
Curl led us away. He sala ne
guessed maybe we hadn't become
acclimated yet.
See Photo Album
He tried to ease our embarrass
ment by hauling out the official
photograph album, showing mald
enj diving into bosky dells, ma
trons playing handball and nud
ists throwing snowballs at each
other.
We still blushed.
In desperation, Curl took us out
side to see the bulletin board,
which said that complete nudity
on the 900-acre estate was manda
tory, that cameras were not al
lowed and that neither was
whiskey. The bulletin board urg
ed everybody to have a good time
and try to make newcomers feel
welcome.
That must have been what Curl
was doing to us. He was the most
cordial nudist ever to plant a fig
tree. His personal fig tree grows
beside the lodge's back porch,
but he said he used, it for food
alone not raiment.
Sheriff Worried
There were so many nudists
converging from all parts of the
west that Curl's cabins proved In
adequate and he made arrange
ments for visiting nudists to sleep
in auto camps and hotels.
Sheriff J. R. Devltt, who nearly
arrested a nudist who couldn't
help it, was the only man to get
excited about the naked invasion.
The sheriff's victim turned out
to be a citizen of long standing,
who had gone swimming In the
creek and whose clothes disappear
ed, apparently at the hands of a
tramp, while he was in the water.
What made this worse was the
fact that the Involuntary nudist
was deaf and dumb. The sheriff
lent him a pair of overalls and all
was peaceful.
Two ambulances, en route from
Hollywood to Spain will arrive
here on Wednesday, September 22,
according to Ed Gilbert, advance
man for the tour, which is spon
sored by the Motion Picture Ar
tists committee, Hollywood, Calif,
of which Donald Ogden Stewart is
chairman.
On their way to give medical aid
to Loyalist forces in Spain, the
ambulances will stop at principal
cities on their way to New York.
In each city, the sound film,
'Heart of Spain," made on the
battle fields and in the war-torn
cities of Spain, will be shown and
a lecture will be delivered at the
Moose hall.
Among the outstanding direc
tors, writers and film stars who

LARGE PREMIUM LISTS
in
WASHINGTON, Sept 21. - j
The National Youth administra
tion said today $20,000,000 would
be spent during the coming school
year to help 220,000 students earn
an education.
This is a decrease from last
year's allotments of $28,000,000
for 310,000 students.
Every state will share In the
student aid funds, it was said,
and several special funds have
been created. Allotments already
have been made for secondary
school aggregating $8,136,250. Col
lege aid allotments are now being
forwarded and are expected to
approximate $10,700,000. Employ
ment quotas will be about 140,
000 for school aid and 80,000 for
colleges.
Secondary school students may
receive $6 monthly: college stu
dents up to $15. The allotments
are made to schools and colleges
for discretionary division..
Quotas, it was said, do not In
dicate maximum reemployment,
and the actual total of those to
whom assistance is given may
reach 300.000.
A special fund of $70,000 has
been set up to aid negro graduate
students in states which do not
offer advanced courses for
negroes.
Special allotments have been
made for drought states.
Student aid allotments by state
and classification are as follows:
