Irish Playwright
Reported Rallying
Toronto IUP1I Irish p 1 a y
wright Brendan Behan was
reported rallying today and
raring to go to New York
where "he feels at home."
Mrs. Behan said her hard
drinking husband, hospital
ized here after a binge that
cost him his job as master of
ceremonies for a jazz revue,
was making good progress in
a private hospital. He had
been reported in serious con
dition Thursday.
"Brendan is going to New
York City next. I'm sure he'll
write there. He is happiest
when he's working," she said.
"Brendan feels at h o m e
there."
Behan's street car inspector
philosopher friend, Eamonn
Martin, predicted Behan
would "walk out of the hospi
tal on his own, free of the al
cohol habit."
He added: "The man who
gives Brendan a drink is a
murderer."

Installment Financing Seen To
Revitalize
By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
UPI Financial Editor
New York - (UPD - Install
ment financing could go far
in revitalizing the recent slug-
glish housing
industry - and
at the same
time fill an
important so
cial need.
Low- cost
homes design
ed for easy
e r e c tion on
the owner's
Henry Bectitold lot have be-
come increasingly popular
with moderate - income fami
lies. Some of these can be
purchased in various stages of
completion, ranging from a
"ready-to-live-in" house to a
basic shell that the owner com
pletes with his own labor.
The lot often served as the
down payment.
Usually, homes of this type
have not qualified for tradi
tional mortgage financing. But
now millions of dollars of in
stallment credit are being
made available to finance
their construction.
Typical of the interest
shown in this market is the
recent agreement between
C.I.T. Financial Corp, and
Certain-Teed . Products Corp.
on a nationwide progfam for
instalment financing of low-
cost homes. '
$100 Million Earmarked
Universal C. I. T. Credit
Corp. has earmarked an initial
$100 million for the retail
financing of homes designed
by the Institute for Essential
Housing, Inc. - a unit organ
ized by Certain-Teed in co
operation with other building
suppliers. .
The homes will be built by
established lumber dealer,
contractors and other fran
chised representatives across
the nation under the institute's
supervision.
There are many families
who would become homeown
ers if decent housing was
within their reach. Universal

Pope To Attend
Services in Rome
Rome - (UPI) - Pope John
XXIII leaves the Vatican to
day to lake part in the Good
Friday rites in the Basilica of
St. Paul's in Rome.
An estimated half-million
visitors, including about 100,
000 foreign tourists, have
jammed the eternal city for
the Holy Week observances.
Rome's more than 450
churches have been filled dur
ing the services.
The Pope Thursday com
memorated the example of hu
mility set by Jesus Christ at
the Last Supper by washing
the feet of 13 young religious
students, including two New
Yorkers, during ceremonies in
the Basilica of St. John
Lateran.
Talks Continue on
Construction Pact
Portland- (UPD -Negotiations
between Associated General
Contractors and the Hoisting
and Portable Engineers Union
continued today. The old con
tract expires at midnight.
Federal Mediator Lcroy
Smith said progress had been
made Thursday, but did not
know if a strike would be
averted. He also said he did
not know if the present con
tract would be extended if
agreement was not reached
today.'
The contract talks affect
about 5,000 members of the
engineers union but a strike
would affect other employees
in the construction industry
who work on the same proj
ects. A. heavy construction in
dustry strike in May, 1958,
halted work on construction
projects worth an estimated
$275."milllon.
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE.
Housing Industry
said installment financing will
translate this latest demand
into actual sales, "with far
reaching benefits to individual
consumers and the economy at
large."
And the emergence of a
mass market for low - cost
homes has important implica
tions for the housing industry,
Rude added. The home build
ing industry has not been oper
ating at anywhere near its full
capacity for many months.
Reduced Volume
The result has been a re
duced volume of business for
building material suppliers,

Annabelle M. - If he lied
once, he'll lie again. How can
I trust him?
Ross M. - It was a white lie
to avoid complicated explana
tions. Annabelle M. - The best
thing about Ross and me was
that we could say anything to
each other, could relax and
speak bur mind. Since we
knew each other from high
school days, there were no se
crets. ',
That's why I never dreamed
of doubling him when he said
he'd be home late last Wednes
day because of a bowling
match. His team was partic
ipating in a tournament and
it was their turn. It so hap
pened I needed Ross for an
emergency. Our little boy had
a bad fall down the cellar
steps, and the doctor had to
take a few stitches in his fore
head. To my horror, Ross
wasn't at the alleys. His team
wasn't even playing that
night.
Ever since, he's been so sore
at me for raising such a fuss
that he still hasn't told me
the truth. I'm the one who
should be angry. I always
trusted him completely. Now
I feel I shouldn't have.
Ross M. - Anne is cooking
up a tempest in a teapot, look
ing for trouble where none
exists. Her doubts and insinu
ations have hurt me so badly,
I decided to clam up and keep
her guessing. After all these
years, she should have more
faith in me and know that if
I've made up a "story," it's to
benefit her, not to hurt her.
The truth is that our firm
is going through a reorganiza
tion. A crisis in the industry is
at hand, and there's even a
possibility of this branch clos
ing down, I didn't want to
tell Annabelle. Maybe it
would all blow over and she'd
worry needlessly. So, rather
than explain in detail, I took
my bowling things along in
the cai and said I'd be home
late because of the match.
I'm sorry for the snafu. And
if that's the thanks I get lor
trying to spare her, I'll dump

all my worries on her from
now on,
The Council - Ross is being
completely honest about one
thing, Annabelle; namely, that
he's furious with you. First,
you couldn't take a little mercy-lie.
But second, you're
branding him dishonest, past,
present, and future imperfect.
Dispassionately now, what
have we here? A man who
thought his wife couldn't take
a business problem straight, so
doctored it up. A wife who
wants the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing about bowl
ing alleys to "spare" her.
Look here, Annabelle, come
off it. We agree with Ross
that you re blowing things up,
over-dramatizing this incident
to settle more than meets the
eye. All you really want to
squeeze out of this freak se
quence of events is the assur
ance that deep down, Ross is
basically open and straight
forward with you. Your own
self-doubts and imagination
seem to be behind your hurt
ful suspicion and insinuations.
Of course there may be
some good in this ill ripple,
because Ross won't make a
habit of concealing, mislead
ing, and misinforming his
wife as some husbands do, in
nocently at first, then con
veniently and unnecessarily.
His wife, he must remember,
is a helpmate. So she must
know the true predicament.
According to President Ken
nedy's mother, her children
v. ere brought up to this re
frain: "Come clean, tell us all
of it. If you don't, we won't
know how to help."
At the bottom, know what
a lie is? A wish. Ross wished
he was going bowling. Look
ing back, Annabelle can un
derstand and in that instance
even approve, Looking ahead,
however, they both see how
closely love is bound up with
trust.

Expense Reports of Delegation To
Paris Meeting Arouses
By DICK WEST
,' Washington- IUPII -Members
of Congress, you may recall,
used to get criticized a lot
for going off

they finally decided that trav
el expenses properly belong
ed in the public domain.
So they passed a law re
quiring congressional commit
tees to publiish reports of the
expenses entailed by their
members while looking out
after our interests overseas.
These reports have been
showing up in the Congres
sional Record this year and
some of them contain some
rather curious entries. To
show you what I mean, I
selected at random the ex
pense account filed by the
Senate delegation to the 19B0
NATO parliamentarians' con
ference in Paris.
The delegation was com
posed of nine senators ami 11
staff aides. Among them, they
spent $11,053.77 in U.S. cur
rency and $2,291.34 in the
French coin of the realm.
The first thing I noticed was
that Sen. Maurine Neuberger
(D-Ore.) listed $134.02 for
lodging but only $2.83 for
meals.

In some Paris restaurants
that I know of, $2.83 wouldn't
even get you a boullion cube.
How .then,- did Mrs. Neuberg
er manage to dine so inex
pensively? Was she on a diet? Did she
cook on a hot plate in her
room? Or, being a charming
and attractive lady, did she
receive a lot of dinner invi
tations? Those are things the
report doesn't cover.
Equally puzzling was the
item showing that Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D-Tcnn.) spent
$161.86 for meals, which
more than doubled the outlay
of the rest of the delegates.
Is Kefauver some kind of
gourmet or something? Or, as
a southerner unaccustomed to
French cruisine, did he order
expensive imported dishes,
such as hominy grits? The re
port doesn't shed any light on
that either.
Javitc Transportation High
And here's another puzzler.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.)
ran up a $1,845.48 bill for
transportation, but three oth
er delegates Kefauver, Sen.
J. W. FulbriglU (D-Arlt.) and
Vice President Lyndon B.
Johnson reported no transpor
tation expense at all.
How did Kefauver, Ful
bright and Johnson got to
Paris? Hitchhike?
The report doesn't say, but
my guess is that Javits char
tered an airplane and that his
three colleagues stowed away
on it as free-loaders.
Identical Expenses
There was one other part
of the report that aroused my
curiosity. Under the head of
"miscellaneous" four senators
listed identical expenses of
$240.
How did they happen to be
so miscellaneously together?
Did they all buy the same
things? And if so, what?
By and large, I think the
