Row Over RFC Loans Reports Big Gain In Numbr Of New Homes Completed Washington, Nov.

WV Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt tonight forecast victory in his fight for loans of $65,000,000 create a mass-production housing industry, despite resistance from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and reported the first big monthly increase in new homes completed. September brought a "particularly encouraging" gain of 25 percent over August in getting houses ready for occupancy, Wyatt said in, a monthly report. The number was 79,500, of which 49,800 were new permanent dwellings. In the first nine months of the year, the housing drive was two-thirds of the way toward its goal of 1.200,000 dwellings started this year. Up to October, 808,700 had been begun, 430,200 finished.

Will Force Action At a news conference, Wyatt talked optimistically of his problem of getting big loans for a dozen companies to start making assembly-line houses. He has served notice that he will issue a directive under the powers granted him by the veterans emergency housing "I feel optimistic of the authority I have in this question," he said. The RFC has granted only two comparatively small credits to General Panel Company of Los Angeles and $1,000,000 to the Knox corporation of Thomson, Ga. out of twelve loans recommended by Wyatt. Hewing to its policy of refusing federal funds to a firm unless a substantial amount of private money is invested, RFC has turned down four loans.

Four others are pending, and two have been withdrawn. Among those rejected was a request for $32,000,000 for the Lustron Corporation of Chicago, plus up to $20,000,000 more unless private funds are forthcoming. Still pending before RFC are loans of for Reliance. Homes, of Lester, and $11,000,000 for Ilig-gins, of New Orleans. Lustron proposes to build 30,000 houses of porcelain steel next year, in addition to roofs, bathroom and kitchen fittings for 20,000 bther prefabs.

Higgins intends to build steel-and-concrete houses, Reliance 31,000 steel dwellings. "A lot of other fundamental industrieslike shipping and aviation get federal aid, and without it they would not be the fundamental industries they are," Wyatt remarked. Congress clearly intended that the government should take risks in stimulating the housing campaign, he said, and he forecast that his emergency powers would make it unnecessary to hand the dispute over to the White House for He indicated he is keeping Reconversion Director John R. Steelman posted on the inter-agency conflict, and would hold further meetings with RFOy Tre district attorney recognizes the fact that most roadside cafes run respectable places.

The hard-working Hinds County sheriff's office and the state highway patrol virtually every night receive reports of drunk driving, brawls or shootings. Several persons during the past few weeks have been beaten or wounded in honky tonk fights. The number of drunks at steering wheel has increased considerable. A Hinds County Circuit Court grand jury recently condemned drunk driving, pointing out that some highways during late hours were unsafe for respectable citizens.

About 35 million votes are expected to be cast in electing 35 senators and 432 representatives in the SCth congress, 33 govenors and thousands of state legislators, mayors, sheriffs, judges, aldermen, and less officials.

Recourse In Court Raids occur frequently, but the sheriff does not have authority to close a place' which he considers a public nuisance. The only recourse is through the courts.

A group of home owners who live outside the city limits on the Pocahontas Road last week filed a bill of complaint against a night club which they termed a blot in their community. McGowah has branded several other niEht clubs as "notorious" and additional injunction proceedings are expected to be filed in Chancery Court In the long run, however," McGowan said.

Jury Convicts Johnny Craft Smith Negro Guilty Of Intent To Kill Raleigh, Nov.

2. -A circuit court jury late today convicted Johnny Craft, negro ex-Marine, of assault and battery with intent to kill in connection with a night gunbattle in Sullivan Hollow last August, in which four -white men were shot and "wounded. The jury of twelve white men deliberated 21 minutes after argu-ents of 80 minutes and returned their verdict shortly, after 4 p.m. Dixon Pyles, Jackson attorney and chief of defense counsel, announced that the case will be appealed to tte Mississippi supreme court. Judge Homer Currie, presiding, deferred, sentence of Craft until later.

He indicated that the cases of four other defendants, three negroes and one white farmer, would be called for trial next week. All are similarly, charged. a Court Room Quiet The verdict was returned in a quiet, court room, without any show offeeling, such as led a 43-hour manhunt through Smith couy iast August, when the white men went to the Craft home to investigate a shooting on a road. The maximuum penatly which judgre Currie may impose is 1 year imprisoment or $1,000 fine; or 5 years and $1,000 fine, or any part of the latter. The state contended, in the closing arguments, that Craft others at the Craft home "fired wantonly" upon the four white men two officers and two specially-deputized citizens on the mght of Aug.

16. when the white men went to the negro home to question Craft, about a shooting on a road that Sunday afternoon. (Young Ray Sullivan had complained to officers that Craft and his brothers had parked their truck across the road, and that when yelled at them a bullet was fired at him.) The defense argued that the white men were trespassing. They said the defendant was "within his rights, in firing on the party in defease of his home, since they were attempting to make "an unlawful arrest."

They are leaving in their mid- night wake a steneh of liquor.

Several weeks ago, a Rankin County law enforcement agent and a Gold Coast operator shot each other to death. Since then the gaudy gambling and drinking dens across the river have been closed. But the snadowy element that fed Rankin County's bartenders have found temporary haven in Hinds.
