New Housing "Modernistic" Architecture
The magazine Time in its current issue has an illustrated
article on the "new shells" that pass for homes in this
mechanical age which "modern" architecture has taken
over. Mass production in the erection of homes as near
alike as peas in a pod or autos off the assembly line fea
ture housing projects all over the country, and even the
custom build homes reflect that modernistic craze.
Among the housing projects pictured is that of Levit
town, a whole city of 27,850 population of identical $7,790
bungalows, on the flat potato fields of Long Island. A
new house is knocked together every 16 minutes, including
fireplaces, picture windows and movable walls that double
as closets.

Navy Secretary's Stand on a CVA
When Secretary of the Navy Matthews flew into Port
land Sunday, he was cautious, almost leary, of a Columbia
Valley Administration. But that was before he had a
chance to get the "word" from the democrats who run
the Portland branch of the party.
Then suddenly later the same day he cut loose in his
talk at the annual democratic picnic. From his admitted
ignorance on the CVA and power situation in the Pacific
Northwest, he jumped to an arm-swinging type of attack
on all those who would block a CVA for the region.
That was all in the same day.
In his press interview before the gathering of the faith
ful, Secretary Matthews gave a sensible answer to the
question of a Columbia Valley administration: "I think You get ahead bv hard work.

From his rather noncommittal stand of a few hours
previously, Matthews turned around and voiced the
preachings of the CVA enthusiasts. Before, however, he
said he wouldn't even talk on the subject.
He had become convinced in that two-hour interim that
all should cooperate to defeat the power lobby. He accused
