EXPERTS T0 DIRECT SLUM CLEARANCE Designers of Low-Cost| Dwellings May Form Nu- cleus for Authority. By the Associated Press. Experts who have designed low-cost ! dwellings for 100,000 persons may form the nucleus for the proposed Fed- | eral Slum-Clearance Authority. The Senate in approving the Wag- mer housing bill voted general super- vition to Secretary Ickes, who directed the Public Works Administration's | housing activities. State Queen HOLLYWOOD GIRL CHOS “MISS CALIFORNIA.” If the House passes the measure his | $ob will be financing in the next three | years dwellings enough to house—for | example—all the people of Pittsburgh. | Ickes frequently has asserted that | experience acquired by P. W. A. in the Nation's first low-rent housing pro- | gram could be passed on to cities | wishing to develop their own projects. | Under the pending legislation the eitfes would plan their own develop- ments and ask the national authority for financial aid P. W. A architects and engineers | have insisted, in their $140.000,000 | glum-clearance campaign, that every | room be an outside room and that modern kitchen and bath room equip- | ment be installed. | Since the Federal low-rent housing | program began. 31 States have created housing authorities Secretary Ickes said last Spring that | gcrutiny of construction contracts had | saved $2056470 by forcing lower prices for work to be done Cost has been one of the principal fssues in debate over the Wagner bill Whereas construction of P. W. A dwellings cost about $1,350 & room, the legislation passed by th~ Senate would limit expenses to $1,000 a room. That provision was inserted over objections of Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New the bill's author. | sing costs for building materials and labor may tighien the P, W. A. margin in the future. Its engineers point out that P. W. A's first three projects. in 1933, cost less than $1,000 a room. but increased prices as the depression lifted raised the average.

ANALYSIS DELAYS GREENHUT INQUEST Study of Organs for Poi- son May Require 10 Days. BY the Associated Press. BEL AIR, Md, August 9 —Magis- trate Stanley S. Spencer postponed today the inquest into the death of Dr. Armen Greenhut, convicted of an assault on a 13-year-old girl, pend- ing completion of a miscropsic and chemical analysis of his organs. Informed that the analysis may take a week or 10 days, Magistrate Spencer | did not set any date for continuance | of the inquest. All the members of the coroner's jury are residents of Bel Air and can be assembled in a | short time, he said. Dr. Greenhut, 39-year-oid Austrian- | born war veteran and physician, was found dead in his jail cell Saturday, the day after he was convicted of statutory assault upon a 13-year-old schoolgirl patient. He faced & pos- sible death sentence. Dr. Charles Richardson, jail phy- sician, who with Dr. Howard J. Mal- deis of Baltimore, performed an au- topsy on Dr. Greenhut's body, said he doubted the prisoner died of nat- ural causes and uinted “some chemi- cal” may have been involved. “The condition of certain intestinal | organs indicated abnormal conditions | which could be interpreted as the re- | action from some chemical” he said. “Final conclusions must be determined | | by microscopic and chemical analysis | | which is being made.” | Dr. Richardson added examination | showed Dr. Greenhut's blood was darker than usual. He declined to amplify that statement. The autopsy disclosed no hemorrhage or heart trouble, he said. Dr. Maldeis declined to comment on his colleague’s statements. W. A.
