A sec- ond Atlanta project—University—will reach completion this Fall. Selection of tenants for the Tech- wood Homes will be started as soon as possible, Ickes said.

Notices To Be Mailed. Application notices will be mailed shortly to all who have registered. Applicants are to be graded according | to their housing needs and economic conditions, preference being given to those self-sustaining families of low-| est income now residing under sub- standard conditions. While rents for three-room apart- ments will range fram $16.40 to $18.65, | Ickes said, the larger apartments will rent for an average of $5.58 per room per month.

Parker, chief | of the Atlanta Fire Department, All buildings of the new develop- ment are of fireproof construction, planned to provide a good exposure eand cross-ventilation for every apart- ment. Open space around all homes | is landscaped with grass, trees and | shrubbery. The three-room apartment units in- | elude living room, bed room, bath and full-sized kitchen with modern com- | bination sink and wash tub, electric ! stove and electric refrigeration. The four-room apartments ranging in base Tent from $20.60 to $22.70 and the five-room apartments ranging in price | from $24.35 to $25.40, are similar with | the addition of one and two bed rooms. o g Shark Lifts Two in Boat. ‘While sailing between Cork and Cas- tletown Berehaven, Irish Free State, Rev.

Neither was seriously injured. | Institute to Hear Democrats’ Side, Farley Promises Says John Dickinson Has Been Mentioned as Orator. By the Assoclated Press. Chairman James A. Farley said yes- terday the Democratic national organ- ization would be represented among the speakers at the Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. Farley said in a press conference he had “‘received today a letter from uni- | versity authorities requesting a speaker | for July 17, and they will get him.” ‘ Questions about a Democratic rep- resentative at the institute’s sessions| were prompted by recent reports the national Democratic organization had boycotted the institute, while the Re- | publican party had accepted an mma- tion to send a speaker. Farley said it had not been deter- | mined who would go to the institut but that “John Dickinson has been mentioned.” Dickinson is an A&slstant Attorney General. The Democratic national chairman | #aid he had turned the institute's let- ter over to the national headquarters for final action. Previously Dean Charles G. Maphis, director of the institute, was quoted as | saying Charles Michelson, publicity di rector for the Democratic National Committee, “refused to co-operate and | to name a party spokesman for the program with Senator Hiram Bing- ham” of Connecticut, who is to pre- sent the Republican side of the com-| ing political campaign.
