Gqsh: - whft afi; ictor !•'--Tit-Bits Magiq^otiK SIDESLIPPING Catalogues of election •pledges are carefully inspected by the political chieftains. The Committee on Committees of the Senate and House has an unenviable job these days. Although Congress does not convene un til January, the holdovers and the newcomers have been asked to express their perference for committee' assignments. Because of the tremen-i dous gains in membership at the recent elections the Democratic personnel on these committees will be more disproportionate than usua}. Considering the fact that the majqr work of Congress is transacted in committees, which act as a bottleneck, for legislation, selecf berths are at a premium, it is generally understood that Con* gressional leaders are consulting the White House oh the personnel of these committees, so that dependable supporters of the New Deal may exercise control. The sO-called "radical" element is making a hold bid for important committees, but they are not likely to gain, their objectives. The: Administration has too much at stake bidders. The Middle West, which turned in surprisingly large Democratic majorities, have the same ambitions. No on© candidate has the necessary votes in his pocket , to make a definite claim to either, berth. The Southerners wijl continue to control as chairmen of important committees solely because of their seniority rights pnd not owing to theif particular fitness or popularity witK th^ir fellow legislators. Back of the Moffett'lckes collision regarding, housing programs is in reality a clash of opinion among liberals and conservatives. The Ickes plan vof spending several billions in the construction of pre-fabricated houses was discussed in this .Letter several weeks before the public announcement, which precipitated the scrap between the Federal Housing Administrator Moffett and Secretary of Interior Ickes. The F.H.A. plan proposes government guaranty of loans for remodeling and new construction as advanced by the banks up to 80 per cent of the appraisal value. The Ickes scheme calls for direct appropriation of Federal money to pay for small houses valued from $1,700 to |3,000. .• . The difference between the plans has been aptly described as follows; The F.If.A. covers those citizens who are able to repay the loans they obtain from banks over a period of 20 years through liberalizing credit plans; the Ickes? project provides for an enormous government construction to permit advocates of extreme rrieas grant for homes for those who have ures from putting pressure on the j probably , never owned property and White House through the power they will probably never be called upon to "Is It difficult to borrow money?".

The objections that Moffett makes to the Ickes idea is that it will in the end greatly cheapen realty values in all sections of the country and, penalize the thrifty who have bought homes. While the controversy has' been soft-pedaled as requested by the President, it is byno means settled. Home-owners of all classes, mortgage and insurance companies with large investments and private investors are" all alarmed. They fear .the Ickes plan will eventually become a political football with thousands living in government houses .obligated.,to the extent of voting "right" or face eviction.

"The survey shows early diagnosfe," to be the most vitally important fao« . tor in decreasing the cost of sickness,f* " W. P.

If between six months anjt. twelve, the cost is $3,125. When mon^, ': than « year elapses from the fir^- ' symptom to diagnosis, the cost is $3»« 950.
