Byrd Says FHA Admits High Rents
Washington—(U.P)—Sen. Harry F. Byrd said today the Federal Housing Administration admits tenants living in apartments built through excessive government-backed loans have had to pay jacked-up rents.
The Virginia Democrat, who has investigated alleged federal housing scandals for a year, said the FHA has informed him that rentals in projects built with FHA-insured loans are based on the "estimated replacement cost" rather than actual cost.
"This means that under the semiduralized program where loans were insured in excess of actual cost . . . the burden of the outrageous windfalls which resulted have fallen upon those renting housing in these properties," Sen. Byrd said. Senator congressional news:
Veterans — The House Veterans committee is reported ready to duck returning a verdict on fundraising activities of the Disabled American Veterans, under fire from a New York state legislative committee. The committee is expected to defer a scheduled report until after the DAV national convention at which the matter is to be discussed.
Communists — Republican senators have been told in a memorandum prepared by the staff of the Senate GOP Policy committee that "communism remains a serious and fundamental issue" in the 1954 congressional campaign. The memorandum marshals facts and statements designed to give GOP senators arguments to show their party has a better record than the Democrats in combatting internal subversion.
Unity — Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland, in an appeal for national unity on vital issues, has urged both Republicans and Democrats to recognize that the Communist party is the only "parry of treason" in the U.S. His statement hit at least indirectly at Sen Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis), who has linked the Democrats with what he has termed "20 years of treason."
Court — The Senate yesterday approved, 58 to 19, a proposed amendment to the constitution to limit the Supreme Court to nine

judges and to force them to retire at the age of 75. The proposal, which now goes to the House, is designed to prevent any repetition of the "courtpacking" plan of the late President Roosevelt and to keep Congress from changing the number of judges.
Six fellowships now are available to American graduate students for study in Italy for a minimum period of six months between the dates of October 1954 and July 1955.
Italian Grants Made Available
The fellowships are offered by the Italian government, through the Cultural Relations office of the Ministry of Foreign affairs. Men or women may apply in any field.
Each grant covers a cash stipend of approximately $970, payable in three installments. The minimum period of study is six months but a person may go before October for orientation or stay longer if he can arrange funds to cover a longer stay. Free tuition will be given at a school or university for an entire academic year.
Candidates in the musical field will be given an extra sum for private lessons as it is it is difficult to obtain admission to music schools. Extra money also will be provided for travel inside Italy. The Italian embassy in Washington will pay $300 toward round-trip travel on an Italian ship or plane.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens, preferably under 35. Preference will be given candidates who apply to a U.S. have had no previous study in Italy.
Dr. J. A. Burzle, professor of German, will provide further information.

Student Nurses Mix Work, Play

This paraphrase of the ancient adage may well define the life of the student nurses at the University medical center in Kansas City, Mo.
Shirley Dodd, education junior, has won a $50 second prize in the art schools and universities division of the Latham Foundation's international poster contest.
The day of the girls at the center is composed of a generous sprinkling of both work and play. Class hours and hospital work

Besides: Miss Dodd, 38 other KU students in the design classes of Alexander Boyle and Miss Elizabeth Swigart, both instructors in design, earned certificates of merit.
Micronesia, the name applied to the Marianas, Marshall, and Caroline Islands in the Pacific, means "small islands." The largest, Guam, in the Marianas chain, covers only 215 square miles.
Some of their posters, which depicted the idea of world friendship, will be included in traveling exhibits to the U.S. and abroad. More than 7,000 entries in divisions from the elementary grades through the professional artists class were submitted to the Latham Foundation.
Their classes are specialized and are conducted by graduate nurses, physicians, and staff members of the center.
usually keep the students busy from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After that they may stand night hours or get special duty in the evening.
The girls get active hospital work in addition to their studies, since at certain times of the year they are assigned to work in the various departments of the hospital itself.
That this routine does not prove to be too heavy or strenuous is evident by just talking to the girls. One and all they seem to endorse the program heartily.
The girls have a full schedule of social activities, ranging from "quickie" at Barber's lounge to a formal dance each year.
Most of the girls usually participate in some activities sponsored by the department of nursing, including dances, student operas, plays, card parties, and a myriad of other social events. The girls have completed a showing of a comic operetta, "Caduceus the Capers."

mute testimony that the University nursing students have made an impression on the men.
The Thurman Traveling Fellowship in German was recently awarded to Margaret Beltz, who received two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University, one in 1950 and one in 1952. She is now studying at Harvard for her PhD in German.
"Not enough time off" is the main complaint voiced by most of the girls. They are closely restricted, having to be in their quarters by 10 p.m. each week night and an hour or so later on week-end. However, one late leave each week is allowed.
Barring unfortunate circumstances or special duties they usually get one week-end a month off to spend in any way they see fit. Most of the girls go to their homes for the week-end.
Living quarters for the students are in a modern building, recently constructed near the hospital. The building has several reception rooms, a large recreation room and a television room in addition to living quarters.
