A—8 MOVENENT SEEN T0 RURAL HOMES Dr. Howe, New Deal Ad- viser, Credits Autos and Shorter Hours. By the Associated Press. ’, Automobiles and shorter working . hours were viewed by a New Deal economic adviser yesterday as power- ful forces pulling millions of city dwellers toward cheaper and more healthful homes in rural and suburban areas. “In my opinion, there is no escape from these forces,” said Dr. Frederic C. Howe, who has just completed a study of European housing activities and back-to-the-land movements for the Resettlement Administration. He pointed out in an interview that the automobile has made it possible for a man to live 30 miles from his job and that reduction of working hours has provided more time for going to and from work and for farm- ing on the side. Living Conditions to Change. “The next thing the automobile will do is to take the poor out of the cities, as it has already taken the rich,” Dr. Howe said. “The next generation will not live on land cost- ing $10 a square foot—or $25,000 a lot—when it can live on land that costs a few hundred dollars an acre.” He described housing as ‘“one of the pressure subjects” before this country at the present time, mentioned & possibility of more legislation re- garding it at the next session of Con- gress and expressed opposition to the Government housing subsidies which he examined in England. “I am opposed to subsidies like those of England,” he said. “In the first place, they don't help the poor much. The testimony in England is that people get these houses who don't need them, while the subsidies are ab- sorbed by land owners in high land costs and by builders in profits. British Subsidies. “The British exchequer has made a | contribution of $750,000,000 in form of subsidies since the war. the “Before we resort to subsidies, we | thould exhaust ways and means for building low-cost houses by using economical sites and putting building industry parable to the automobile industry. “It may be that with cheap sites | and a better organization of house production and credit, we can bring houses in great numbers within.the reach of the low-income groups.” Dr. Howe said the characteristic thing about the housing he studied | in Germany was that it was very largely rural, inexpensive and “ap- parently what the people wanted.” He reported seeing some completed projects in which house and land cost from $1,000 to $2,000.

By the Assoclated Press. HOLLYWOOD, October 26.—A mo- tion-picture contract, the golden | dream of an uncounted army of hu- | man beings, left one woman fright- | ened and frankly unhappy today. | She was Dolores Costello, recently divorced wife of John Barrymore. | For her a movie contract is no| new thing. And the sight of her image on the screen is an old story.| Yet, it is not this fact alone that has | robbed the approaching return to pictures of what should have been a normal thrill for her. | “It means opening a door that I once thought was closed forever,” she observed. i | Looks to Future. She said she was re- en(erm( the | movies “for a variety of reasons.” But she named only one. | “T'll put it this way,” she said. “lo | matter how secure things may seem | now, no one can tell what the situa- | tion will be, say. 15 years from now. You understand?” | The terms of her settlement with | John Barrymore were considered am- ple. Yet, a fear of the future, she said, forces her to retrace her steps of four years ago. She said she believed a few more | years’ work would insure the future for herself and her children. The girl and the boy—Dolores, 5, | and John, jr., 3—are now the end and | aim of her existence, she said. “You must realize that I never was 'completely happy, or fulfilled, when e i I was devoting all my time and ener- gies to acting,” she explained. “I never | \nlked out of a theater with that | : glow, that I have heard other women | Lives for Children Alone OTHERWISE DOLORES COSTELLO GETS NO THRILL FROM the former wife of John Barrymore, with her two THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Never Cared for Glamour. “I never knew, or cared about the | glamour and excitement that goes | with being a movie star. “I was utterly glad the day I walked out of my dressing room, at Warners, | believing I would never return. And you speak of the thrills from signing a movie contract—my big moment was when I signed a release from a con- tract that had nearly three years to run.” The enforced separation from her | children as a result of her work, she predicted, would be not only a physical fact, but a mental and temperamental one. This, she dreads. And she said she feared the effect of the passage of four years. Beauty Still Remains.
