Housewives Call for More Individuality
In Housing, Higher Minimum Standards
Washington (U.R) Irate
housewives today condemned
slapdash "peas in a pod" hous
ing developments.
They called for more individ
uality in housing and an in
crease in federal minimum hous
ing standards.
The housewives raised the
complaints at the National Wom-
ity led to sloppy upkeep and
eventual "slum problems.
Mrs. Raymond D. Hull of Eu
reka, Calif., led the attack on
poor quality building both in de
velopments and general housing.
Mrs. Furchner said more "in
dividuality" in housing develop
ments would give "more pride
in ownership." She said it would

ANPA President Richard W.

address prepared for delivery to
the 70th annual ANPA conven

"There are mollusks of this

freedom battle and keep the
public alerted to its own inter

Slocum, executive vice-president
of the Philadelphia Bulle
tin, is retiring this year as the
ANPA president after two years
in office. He said the presence
of Dr. Alberto Gainza Paz, pub
lisher of LaPrensa of Buenos
Aires, as a speaker at today's
session testifies to the ANPA's
gratification "that the light of
the free press has returned to
Argentina."
Independent Spirit Grows
Dr. Gainza, whose newspaper
was taken over by the Peron
government for five years, re
sumed operation as its head in
February. He said that "the
forced silence of five years only
strengthened La Prensa's inde
pendent spirit."
Newspapers and newspaper
men are giving proof of their
support in a press-freedom fight
that still is far from finished,
Dr. Gainza said.
"People are not corrupted as
easily as dictators and dema
gogues think," he said. "The si
lence which fear imposes does
not mean agreement. Actually,
tragic silence announces that re
bellion is hatching."

gued that families can't always
know if they're dealing with a
"reputable" builder. She said
if all houses beir.g built now are
within federal minimum stand
ards, "shouldn't those minimums
be raised?"
Complains of Bad Lumber
She complained about sinking
roofs, leaking walls and bad lum
ber used in modern homes in
her neighborhood.
"If a grocer gives me a bad
steak, I don't go back to him,"
she said. "But if I get a bad
house, I'm stuck with it "
A sampling of discussion
groups yesterday showed a ma
jority of the women disapprov
ing of slat roofs, picture windows
"unless there's a view" and floor-to-ceiling
glass walls.
A majority approved of newly
developed construction mater
ials, sliding or awning windows
"for easy cleaning" and curving
streets in residential areas.
Sweden May End
Assistance To Arabs
Stockholm, Sweden (U.R)
Swedish Prime Minister Tage
Erland'er hinted today that his
government is considering legis
lation to end Swedish arms as
sistance to the Arabs.
"It gives an uneasy feeling to
know that Swedish experts and
war material are used to pro
duce weapons in Egypt," he told
the Swedish Parliament.
Erlander said the Swedish gov
ernment is presently unable to
stop this by legal means and
hinted that the government will
try to enact legislation to stop it.
He said he deplored the
Swedish contribution to Arab
armament.
"One frequently gets the im
pression that there are strong
forces working in the Arab
states aiming to destroy Israel,"
he said.

Thornton Asked To
Probe Embezzling
Charge in Lane
Portland U.R) Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton had
another investigation to make
today at the request of Gov.
Elmo Smith.
Thornton, here to look into
charges of racketeering in Port
land, indicated an investigation
would start this week relating to
an embezzlement charge in Lane
county. Smith asked Thornton
to take charge at the request of
Eugene C. Venn, Lane county
district attorney. Thornton said
he had no immediate comment
on the case.
Claim by Convict
Venn said the case involved a
convict who claimed he had been
deprived of money due him as
result of a personal injury suit,
which came before the convict
was arrested and sent to prison
for a holdup.
Meanwhile, Thornton said he
would ask Gov. Smith for
specific authority to continue the
investigation in Portland into
May. He said the governor's let
ter limited his activities to the
present grand jury whose term
ends this month.
Thornton said Francis Wade,
who is heading the investigation
here, already has conducted
some interviews in preparation
for the grand jury probe which
starts May 7.
