I NEVER SAW SUCH VALUES IN COMtED YARN BALBRIGGAN NASH Bailey Joins In Plan To Keep U.S. Out Of Next War RALKIGH, Oct. 16.—Senator Jo tlah W. Bailey, of North Carolina may sponsor a joint resolution In congress during the next session which would serve definitely to keep the United States out of war, he told a peace delegation of about 50 members from a half doscn towns In this state Friday.. The policy to be Included In his proposed resolution, the senator explained, would forbid cltiaens of the United States from participat ing In wars between other countries, and also would forbid them to sea, trade or otherwise dispose of food, supplies and other goods to war ring nations. . Represent Several Cities. The delegation, which was form ed by MTs Sherman Barnes, Wo men's Intematonal league for peace and freedom representative, came from Charlotte, Greensboro, Dur ham, Chapel Rill, Ooldabaro and Raleigh. The Interview followed a series of addresses In this state by Mrs. Barnes.

It also was requested to support the Nye resolution and Investigation In • to the actlvltiea of munition makers. Hie hope was expressed that he would support measures to bring about government control of this industry.

'There Is no likelihood that the United States will declare war on any nation for 30 or 40 years at least,” the senator said. "There are still too many things that must be forgotten from the last war.

The only question Is the extent of an adequate defense," he said.. Bailey expressed the opinion that the Nye investigation would result in legislation that will remove the profit from the manufacture of mu nitions, thus minimizing the profit from war. FHA Is Ready To Finance NewHomesThroughoutU.S. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1#.—With home modernization loans now be ing made at the rate of $1,000,000 a day, the Federal Housing Adminis tration is preparing to launch by November 1 the second part of its program, that of financing new homes, according to Administrator James A. Moffett. An indication of the extent to which the neat phase of the FHA objective will pick up the building industry and put it back on Its feet; along with Its many allied In dustries, is contained in the offic ial announcement, which said; “The second part of the Federal Housing Program calls for the releasing of funds for the million or more homes this country actually needs.” Hew IV Get A Loan. The general method of obtaining Insured mortgage loans with which to build new homes is about the same as that of obtaining Insured modernization loans. The FHA lends no money directly. The present or prospective home owner goes to a bank, building and loan association, mortgage company or other institu tion making loans or mortgages and having the approval of the Federal Housing Administration. Approved loans are insured by FHA. Meanwhile, the home moderniza tion program is being pushed, and there will be no letup in this part of the home program when the fi nancing of new homes is launched. FHA officials reported conclusive evidence that the modernization work that is being done through co operation of more than 7,300 banks in 2,500 communities is reviving the industries that supply building ma terials, plumbing, heating and al lied lines. One of the leading manu facturers of home heating equip ment reported that sales for the first 61 days of the modernization program equalled sales for the en tire year of 1933. Latest reports show that 2,000 newspapers are using Better Hous ing Campaign literature and more than 1,200 dailies and trade publi cations are running special housing pages or sections.
