Helpful as this aid is, it still plays a part in the construction of only about a fourth of the new housing units now being built an- nually. As for the USHA, this agency, established last November, represents a new approach to the low-cost rental housing problem originally attacked in the fifty-one PWA projects. In the future, low-cost rental projects, instead of being built and operated from Washington, will all be the responsibility of local housing authorities financed up to 90 percent of cost by self-liquidating USHA loans. THE NEW BEACH Ml ACT Mining was given another boost last week through passage by Congress of an act permitting miring, prospecting and other exploration work on shores, inlets and bays of Alaska. With the single exception of the beaches at Nome which were thrown open in 1800 during the strikes there, no beach mining has been legally permitted prior to the present act, but 3 Speech Foiled by Jersey City Demonstration .
