WASHINGTON (IP) More
than 25,000,000 low-Income people
live in slums or run-down city
or farm homes. 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

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

ing it impossible to live togther."

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.

They have one .on, John, Jr.
Mrs. Boettlger was divorced in
1933 from her first husband,
Curtis Dall, a New York broker.
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.
When she married Boettlger,

when it's built. The government's
cniei role is to see that the plans
make sense before it dishes out
any money.
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.

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
