Loans for building are often insured by FHA: and ‘the value of a house| can be increased or decreased by | he ne'ghborhocd in which it is! built.” | For that reason, FHA must be ure that the future of the build- ing which grows out of an insured loan is not in jeopardy because of | lack of zoning or poor planning: | a slaughter house beside a $18,000 | home would considerably decrease the selling value of that house; a smoky and noisy railroad yard| should not be too near a neigh-| torhood with a future. | In his land-planning work, Chris- | tensen is also interested in prob- | lems beside zoning—all of them in| the interest of good neightorhoods. !

Va., Sept. 23.—#— With John L. Lewis’ miners on a “no day work week,” a long coal strike seemed possible today. That term was coined by Lewis himself in describing the walkout which has kept the nation’s 480,- 000 miners oif the job since Mon™- day. He indicated the no-day week will stay in force until a new contract is reached. The United Mine Workers' chief bluntly rejected a two-year exten- sion of the old contract yesterday. He declared the current dispute in the steel industry was blocking a wage settlement for miners.
