BROOKLYN LONG ISLAND SECOND SECTION NEW YORK, N. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1945 PAGES SEVEN TO TWELVE SftW Witlfnk NEWS NEWS LSI II II Ml III 1 1 IJ I CS li 1 This, That hasold umbolau SMALL TOWN BOY: Direcor of Reconversion, John Snyder, one of President Truman's home state buddies, has certainly proven a big bust so far. and the quicker the President removes or transfers him, the better off the Country 'will be. By abolishing totes. conrols on home building and other construe.
Uon, Snyder has paved the way I I VT bust" cycle that may wreck the gover nment's Itk I enure economic YV stabilization 1 asajnaanaBsaf. iMr0iam Ua tiasi told the building industry to do just what it pleases, and the result will be exp nsive homes at inflated values. Senator Tafft could have done no better, or is it worse? The government program was to bold the anti inflation line by maintaining essential controls during reconversion. Mr. Snyder gave this program "lip service" when he announced a "six point program" which is so much double talk.
The Snyder action is based on his belief that since the war is over. building materials will be produced quickly, that contractors will not bid up prices and the housing industry will police itself. Any building contractor will tell you that all the seasoned lumber was sent over the other side during the war to help the same. The stuff left, and to be produced, is green and suitable only for small units with a life span of fit teen years or thereabout. It will cost so high, unless controls are replaced) that to make a profit, the owner wi'l.
have to build large units only with multiple renting possibilities. In the smaller units, one would have to skimp here, skimp there, leave out this and leave out that, in order to make a profit and in four or five years, when the house settled, oh, brother. But regardless of what is said, a buyer can always be found for a new home. We have no argument with those in the money who can afford to buy this junk. However, the majority of home buyers are those whwo are hooked by the promise of a ten year mortgage at 5 per cent, with little clauses here and there.
Blinded by the vision of their own home at last, these mall fry will sign and take a chance at anything. And the lending agencies don't chase ony one away. Snyder's program calls for the building interest to police them, selves, but who will do the arresting? It calls for Federal agencies to do everything possible to discourage excessive and unsound lending, but gives them no teeth. It for WPB to prevent hoarding of scarce materials. There will be no hoarding as long as the sky Is the limit on prices.
It calls for Information to be supplied to the prospective home owner by the National ouiing Agency. Wouldn't protection the same as afforded the returning GI's when making an investment or borrowing a loan, be better? It really calls for the re movsl of Mr. Snyder, and when Mr. Truman finds time to let around to It, well lay you two to that's what will Add Indigestion sUliovodleS I MfTkHk WN MiwaA km mws Mtafal. wCVat ht M.

By RUTH DAVIS SHERMAN "No, we didn't knit the names of traitors to France into our work like Madame Defarge," the short, dark woman laughed easily. "We used the wool you sent us to knit warm garments to "keep our chil dren and ourselves alive until we could see France rise again. But the traitors' names are knitted into our minds forever." It was Madame Eugenie Tell Eboue, one of several French Col onial Negroes elected to the French lonsuiueni Assembly, she was speaking to an American Red Cross representative about the aid that organization had given her country during the war.
Madame Eboue, president of the. French Red Cross delegation in Brazzaville, will re present the French Colony of Guadeloupe in. the drafting of the new constitution for France. The occasion was the recent press conference held at the French Con. sulate just before Madame Eboue took a plane to Paris to be on hand for the opening session of the As sembly.
The spacious Consulate room facing, Fifth avenue, bulged with re. porters and photographers vying to meet the distinguished woman with patrician features and brown velvet eyes, before the conference started. She stood in a ray of autumn morning sun light chatting in Parisian French and dressed in true French style a simple black dress with the Croix de Lorraine its only ornament, gold wedding bands on both hands (the one on her right hand was her late husband's) and pearl earrings.

Their success astonished many who thought that these lan guages could be undersood only by the natives themselves. Mme. Eboue transposed some of the themes into modern musical scores snd she and her husband published book on each of the two languages. WAC Veluteer In 1941, she was among the first volunteers for the French WACs at Brazzaville and she devoted most of her time to working at hospital there. Like many mothers all over the world, Mme.
Eboue is rejoicing these dsys ever the fact that at last she has all her four children safely at home again. Henry, who is 30, and Robert who is 23, had volunteered In the French Army in 1339, and were captured by the Germans. The testimony of French doctors who faked rays of their chests and declared that the two boys and developed serious hmg trouble, convinced the Ger mans that it would be wise to release them, since, even If they died of natural causes, the Germans would be accused sf killing them as re venge upon their father.

Madame Eboue was a majestic figure in the deep leather chair in the Consulate office, unfazed by the myriad questions being fired at her from all sides.
Her charm and wit stimulated her listeners to broader discussion and at the close of the interview she thanked America "for helping us very very much during the war. Aside from the many shipments of wool, we want to thank the American Red Crosi for the many children's things they sent us which kept our young ones going during our darkest hours." 1 Brotherhood Exhibit Dedicated Friday In Show Windows Of Sach's Furniture Store IV IWhlVl MHUtl SHIM' VI erance, Richard Zinn, national di rector of Public Relations for the 1 Institute for American Democracy, iphC.lderon director of the Bronx Round Table of the National Conference of Christian and Jews, chance to win one of the many and George Gregory, Managing di awards which will be in the form rector ot the Forest Community of "Victory Bonds.
