They can't af ford better. Now the government will help some of them .through a public housing program. Although It isn't big enough to help aU of them, many millions of people will benefit since it will spread over a period of years. It ha. three alms: 1. To get rid of alums. No one expects all the slums to be wiped out by this program. But it should make a dent In them. 2. Build houses The so-called public housing where low-In come families, who have to pay low rent, can get decent dwellings. 3. Help poor farmers put needed repair, on their homes or even build new ones. That, in brief, is the program. The big help from the govern ment will be In money. The cost to the government: 1. Between $7 billion and (12 billion spread over 40 year. In grants." These will be outright gifts of money. 2. Another (3 billion or so In loans. Since these will be paid back, the government won't be out this money. Except In the case of hard-up fanners, none of the money goes directly to Individuals, poor or otherwise. It goes to cities and communi ties. They'll have to hire private Astoria Firm Buys Timber The second timber sale for clearing of Bonneville's Breiten bush power Una near Detroit was held Tuesday at headquarters of fice, of Willamette Forest. Nygaart Co. of Astoria was suc cessful among 15 bidders with a total auction price on the parcel of $33,825. Appraised price on this Fox Creek Section was $20,150. Bid totaled $8.10 per thousand board feet for four million feet of Douglas fir; $5.60 per thousand for 10,000 feet of red cedar; $8 per thousand for 10,000 feet of red cedar; $8 per thousand for 10,000 feet of white pine; $5.50 per thou sand for 180,000 feet of hemlock and other specie.. Two more clearing sales on the BPA Una are acheduled for July with a total of 20 millian board feet. contractor, to clear the slums and build the public housing for them. When they can't foot the bill themselves, they'll get money help from the government They'll handle the slum clear ance and run the public housing Anna Roosevelt Sued for Divorce PHOENIX, Ariz. 0J.M John Boettlger sued Anna Roosevelt for divorce Wednesday, charging the daughter - of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt with ment al cruelty. A complaint filed Tuesday .aid Mrs. Boettlger humiliated her husband "repeatedly and contin ually by statement actions, mak ing it impossible to live togther." It "Impaired hi. mental and physical health, the complaint .aid. Mr.. Boettlger, who share, a radio program with her mother, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, said she is "not happy about" the suit. "Any kind of family bust-up Is a very .ad thing, of course," she said. Boettlger was the White House reporter for the Chicago Tribune when he met his wife. They were married Jan. 18, 1935. They formerly published the Arizona times here and the Seattle Post- Intelligencer. Boettlnger now 1. a magazine writer.

Famous Children Mrs. Boettlger'. two children by her first marriage, Anna (Sistle) and Curtis (Buzzle), gained national fame during their childhood days In the White House from 1933 to 1935.

Won't Clear Slums The public housing noal Is 810.- 000 family units in the next six years. A unit can be a place with one bedroom, or two or three bed rooms, plus the other usual rooms. Since there are millions of peo ple in the slums, the 810,000 units can't take care of all of them in six years. The government won t let any city use federal money to wipe out a slum unless there's a low rent place for the slum-dwellers to go. For that reason, the public hous ing part of the program probably will be the first to start. Slum clearance can follow. This program clearly means the government acknowledges it has a responsibility to see that Amer ican people are decently housed. Congress ha. approved the pro gram and President Truman shortly will sign it into law. Then it can start. Famllle. allowed In tha new public housing must have Income, too low to afford adequate new or old housing. The rent, charged In the pub lic housing must be at least 20 per cent less than the lowest private rents in decent dwellings in the area. The average rent probably will be around $23, plus $7 for utiu ties. Some families will pay more, some less. This is not all new and sudden. Congress ha. been Investigating the problem intensively for the past four years. And in 1937 Congress passed a Housing Act. Under it 193,000 dwellings have been provided In 288 localities In 37 states. nitude of their lumber imports next year. Reticence Understandable Their reticense is understand able. ECA is not in the business of promoting U. S. Industry abroad. At the same time, it is charged by law with seeing to it that its re covery program does not upset the domestic economy. It is, officials j say, a ticklish job. i Niewenhous has an ace In his hand. It is new ECA policy laid down last April 29 governing re covery authorizations for the pur chase of lumber and plywood. This provides that before ECA writes an authorization for dol- ECA disputes many of the ar-;" guments put form by the hard- wood industry. Exports of hard-!
