By tfcc WorW DfcixMoM Ckampion -GEORGE K.OLTANOWSKJ Lenders Blamed In Housing Rift WASHINGTON, March 20 (AP) The Veterans Administration said today it cannot be responsible for seeing that war veterans are satisfied with the houses they buy.

The interview has been inspired by the fact that "Henry one of Shakespeare's outstanding classics, will play a limited engagement at the Tower Theater next Wednesday and Thursday. "Henry has been recognized by the educators of America as the one motion picture production 1 with great educational value. For the purpose of encouraging the motion picture industry to use more of the classics, Miss Clark and other educators of America are cooperating with the exhibitors throughout the country in encouraging the students to see "Henry starring Laurence Olivier.

Through the medium of the motion picture, the students can get a better understanding of the classics, the Guild contends. And as long as Shakespeare is part of the curriculum of the schools and it is now a recognized fact that visual education is an effective means of teaching, educators agree with the Guild's efforts. "Henry produced authentically in every respect and in technicolor, is blazing the trail for more of the classics to be produced by the motion picture industry as the enthusiastic response by the theater-going public of America has been most encouraging. The Theater Guild's "Henry has won an Academy Award as well as many other awards. Mileage Rate Hike Passed by Senate SACRAMENTO, Mar.

It is beginning to be difficult to recommend a GOOD book for beginners. "Chess for You and Me" is interesting but can only be recommended if you can understand the algebraic notation.
