REAL ESTATE. Widening of U.S.H.A. To Cure Blighted Areas Suggested Real Estate Board’s Directors to Congider Plan on Tuesday Voicing opposition to additional appropriations for the United States Housing Authority at this time, the National Association of Real Estate Boards today suggested that the U. 8. H. A. be broadened to help attack the problem of blighted areas in cities by assisting in land as- sembly and by chartering rede- velopment companies to function by & limited dividend basis. ‘The association’s proposal is for & partnership with municipalities and private enterprises through which tun-down areas can be rede- veloped and low-cost housing can be provided that could reach far down into the income groups not adequately served at present. Directors to Weigh Plan. Details of the proposed plan, sug- gested by the association’s Com- mittee on Housing and Blighted Areas after a recent two-day meet- ing in Washington, are to come before directors of the association at a meeting in Chicago next Tues- day. Such a plan would supplement every dollar of public money with 5 or 6 dollers of private funds, thus greatly extending the scope of the program, the association said. Public Funds Held Inadequate. “There exists a housing problem, but there is not enough money in the public funds to replace more than a minute fraction of sub- standard housing by Government- built, Government-owned struc- tures,” Newton C. Farr, president of the association, declared. “Nor is there the will in this country for such a solution. “Opposition is increasing to local tax exemption for Federal housing projects, particularly among tax- payers of small homes. Sporadic efforts to build isolated housing projects are insufficient to solve the housing problem and are in- capable of curing blight. The U. 8. H. A. projects, frequently placed on vacant property, have in many cities themselves tended to further the decentralization movement.” F. H. A. Underwriting Head Praises Training Program Frederick M. Babcock, director of the Underwriting Division of the Federal Housing Administration, said today the formalized training program adopted last year for the underwriting organization has proved its worth in strengthening the F. H. A’s mortgage risk rating procedure. He pointed out that an analysis of the papers submitted by 1,400 members of the underwriting or- ganization in last year’s examina- tion has revealed a higher level of grades than for the preceding ex- amination, “The training program has proved its worth,” he said. “It is effective in obtaining a nationally uniform point of view with regard to valuation and risk rating tech- niques, soundness and consistency in underwriting decisions, applica- tion of prescribed procedures and full development of the capacities of employes looking toward ad- vancement in the organization. “Further than that, it enables us to discover weak spots in our sys- tem and organization to strengthen them.” Mr. Babcock declared that con- tinuation of the high professional standards underlying the under- writing phases of the insured mort- gage system “is assured by our pres- ent system of selecting and training personnel.” 4,000,000 in British Schools Out of nearly five million school children in Great Britain more than four miilion are now receiving reg- ular education, mostly full time.

Conse- quently your dining room appoint- ments must be in good taste, in har- mony with your way of living, but as they do not have to stand the hard wear of the living room sofa or produce the technical quality of a grand piano, you may save money in your dining room without loss of efficiency or “face.” Let your table be of a height and size that is in good proportion to the dining room. A serving table or buffet is mainly for ornament, so it should be nice. Your chairs should be sturdy and comfortable and of the right height. Beyond that, your dishes, linen and glassware, silver, the food on the table and the way THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

As we are saving money this week, and as this dining room is visible from the living room we discussed last week, we have chosen maple for this room also. The walls are yellow and the valance above the sheer curtains matches the green of the living room and looks cool for this time of year. ‘The table, extension, dinette size 1 Six maple chairs with white leather seats, at $4.99_ One maple buffet..
