GOVERNORS URGED T0 PUSH HOUSING 33 Attend Luncheon, Hear Delano Recommend Low-Cost Projects. Governors of 33 States visiting ‘Washington for the inauguration had an urgent message from the Federal Gavernment today to push the devele opment of low-cost housing projects. ‘Washington alone could not effect a general housing improvement, Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the Central Housing Committee, told the Gover- nors at an elaborate luncheon at the Mayflower Hotel yesterday, “even if the Federal Government had all the money in the world.” Delano mentioned the “rabbit war- ren dwellings” of the poor of medieval times and added: “I do not know if we have improved much.” MacDonald, chairman of the Federal Housing Administration, supported his indictment of American housing when he said: “We lead the world in the manufac- ture of airplanes, we are first in au- tomobiles, but we are last in housing. Europe Advanced. “The European countries recognized the problem before the World War, but we in America have been pitifully slow to react to the needs of improve- ment.” Although Delano suggested that “private enterprise” should be en- couraged in any governmentally spon- sored slum and farm tenancy eradi- cation program, he subsequently rec- ommended that the Government re- tain title to the land and act as renter to the occupants of low-cost housing projects. “Foreign countries feel that i’ is better for the govemment to retain ownership,” he said. “The govern- ment can see that the area is main- “tained and does not retrograde into a | slum condition. That point of view I commend to you.” Says Slowness Likely. Delano asked the Governors and the 200 other guests at the luncheon not to become discouraged at the slow- ness of progress toward elimination of | slum conditions. “It took Great Britain from the end of the war until 1935 to find a satis- factory solution,” he said. The Central Housing Committee. | which arranged the luncheon, is made up of representatives of various Fed- eral governmental agencies interested in housing.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1937. NEUTRALITY PLAN IS GIVEN SENATE Thomas Would Let President Have Widest Discretion in Declar- ing Embargoes. By the Associated Press. Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Utah introduced yesterday a neutrality reso- lution under which the President would be given the “widest discretion in em- bargoing shipments of both munitions and commercial products to warring nations.” ‘Thomas, author of the 1936 neu- is that the President would have to await events before acting, thus waste ing most of the time which might be- used profitably,” Thomas said. “If | | his discretion is broad he may act in anticipation. Thus a discretionary power is actually ltroncer than a mandatory one.” The new Thomas resolution would “The weakness of a mandatory act | empower the President umcm'l“mmunmmhnmmam l 'Ew/ trality resolution, opposed proposals | ; for a mandatory law. Are You buarding Your Child THIS WAY—Asking Your Doctor About Home Remedies You Use? Practically everymotherknows the physician’s rule. Don’t give your child unknown remedies without asking your doctor first. Children’s specialists give this warning continually. Writers on child welfare repeat it every- where. It is only human nature that the instinct to save a few pen- nies will sometimes overcome caution and sound judgment. ‘That a woman will buy for her child something said to be “just as good.” ‘When it comes to the widely used children’s remedy—"milk of magnesia” — many doctors for over half a century have said “PHILLIPS.” For Phil- lips’ Milk of Magnesia is the standard of the world. Safe for children. Made by an original process in a laboratory devoted solely to making this important remedy; there is no other “quite like it.” Keep this in mind, and say “PHILL[PS‘ MILK OF MAG- NESIA” when you buy. Comes now, alsoin tablet form that children take without argument. Tablets that taste like peppermint candy, and that contain the equivalent of the liquid Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. Get the form you prefer. But see that what you get is labeled “Gen- uine Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia.” 25¢ for a big box of tablets. b ALSO IN TABLET FORM: Each tiny tablet is the equivalent of 8 m“oon{uldmuiu illips” Milk of Magnesia.
