P) A SusanvlUe truck driver told now papermen today he Is Jesse Owen Gifford, 41-year-old Chattanooga war veteran for whose death i man was tried five years ago. Joe Braun, as he la known here, declined to shed further light on the elght-yonr-old mystery of Gtfford's disappearance.

I LOU SECOND FLOOR A northwestern cottage that combines colonial form and proportlona with a suggestion of tha rustic, is this house, built by Homes, Inc. The treatment of the porch and the use of perpendicular battens on the first floor show the pioneer origin of the design. A further departure from colonial tradition is the use of double and triple mullloned windows. The blending of these various elements, -however, forms a pleasing unit, well adapted to its environment. The plan, too, shows the influence of its colonial inspiration in the central hall and chimney. In this case, however, the central chimney Is only minor. The main one rises outside the living room wall much in tho Virginia style. The rest of the first floor arrangement Is planned to suit the site without regard to precedent. The number of bedrooms makes this small house suitable for a good-sized family. The location of one bedroom on the first floor makes the plan flexible, as this room may be either study or library, if desired. A good feature of the second floor is the free open hall which simplifies the handling of furniture. This house was built In the state of Washington at a cost of $3,100, on a $500 lot. It is financed by an insured Federal Housing mortgage of $2,800, on which monthly payments amount to $21.58. This Includes Interest, payment on p-"--!r. t, and mortgage Insurance.

FOR PERSONAL LOANS OF AL1 KINDS W S Thomas 45 8 Oedtral Dean Acheson, who resigned as as sistant secretary of the treasury un der Roosevelt presumably because he did not agree with the administra tion's fiscal policies, and hod been regarded as a probable Landon sup porter, has finally come out against the republican nominee and In favor of the President. The following let ter In explanation written to the Baltimore Sun, will be of Interest to those who have also disagreed with the Roosevelt financial policies. Mr. Acheoon still opposes these princi ples, but the republican leadership has so disgusted him, that he along with scores of other prominent busi ness and professional men In the East, has decided the welfare of the country demands the re-election of President Roosevelt. Mr. Acheson's letter follows: "Since returning to private life, I have refrained from any public state ment regarding the policies of the present administration, and had hoped to do so through this cam paign. Recently, however, I have re ceived Invitations to speak, and re ports of what my position was sup posed to be which require a choice between assuming a false position through continuing a desired silence and assuming a false Idea that the matter Is of any Importance. I ask your courtesy to avoid the former. "When your editorial Hating your position In the campaign appeared, I found myself In substantial agree-: ment with It. As the campaign has progressed, however, I have become convinced that I should vote for the re-election of the President and, bar- i ring some unexpected development, I shall do so. Sees Money Stand Voided Prior to his Minneapolis speech Mr. Landon had removed from the 1 campaign any Issue of responsible fiscal management. His advocacy of balanced budget had been .nter- sperscd with more specific proposals. which negatived both. Nor has Mr. London given proof of any realistic comprehension of the ' direction which the regulatory luna tions of government must take in a crowded and complicated world to achieve the ends which he, as well as the President, avows. "But Mr. Landon In bis Minneapolis speech and Mr. Hamilton In his chal lenge to the President to engage in a Red hunt have decided my vote, i Joins In Hull Praise "You have stated far better than I can the admiration and respect which the country has unreservedly given to the sanity, courage and determina tion of the secretary of state. I be lieve so strongly that his efforts to revive International trade are among the most constructive acts of any government In the post-war period that when they are attacked I must be on his side. I "To thl Is added my Intense hos- I tUtty to the attitude of Intolerance which Mr. Hamilton's speech dis closes. It seems to me utterly fan tastic to suggest that 'communism is In any manner Involved in this cam paign. It serves only to arouse a spirit of bigotry which we have ex perienced before and which always results in violation of constitutional guarantees of liberty and makes Im possible sane consideration of public questions. I am against any party which. Inflames this spirit. "This year, more than In most, one's vote, however It may be, must be cast more In hope than in faith. The hope which accompanies mine Is that Mr. Hull's liberalism, sanity and patience may Increasingly shape the policies of the government.' Mr. Acheson resigned his treasury position at the same time the late William H. Woodin announced bis resignation as secretary of the treas ury. Mr. Woodin gave ill health as his reason, but Mr. Acheson made no public explanation of his motive. Mr. Acheson had been appointed by President Roosevelt !n May, 1933. The appointment was confirmed by the senate, although Senator Couzens (rep., Mich.) argued against it on the grounds that Mr. Acheson was too closely Identified with such New York bankers as J. P. Morgan. Mr. Acheson has continued his career as a corporation lawyer since his retirement from the government service. jse Mail Tribune want ads.
