S. S. R. Information Bulletin, may backfire. They said a swelling demand to bar the magazine from American Ameri-can schools could result In new curba on distribution in Russia of the t state department's magazine America.' - : 'The protests developed with disclosures that the Soviet embassy em-bassy here has put a number of schools on its free mailing list of the slick-paper magazine. School officials here and in a dozen other cities have seized copies addressed to .school libraries. li-braries. In some cases the magazines maga-zines have been destroyed. Rep. George H. Mahon, D., Tex., has complained to the U. S. commissioner com-missioner of education, Dr. Earl J. McGrath,- that the embassy is trying to propagate communism among American students. Mc Grath said there was nothing he could do about it. The state department's position posi-tion is that this country cannot object to circulation of the official Soviet magazine as long as we distribute a comparable Amerl can publication in Russia. The magazine America, an even fancier job than the U. S. 5. R. Information Bulletin, is one of this country's few direct contacts with the Russian people.

Servicemen at crowded Fort Belvoir get first crack at Woods' homes. Woods believes the nouses would be as eagerly .sought-after in any crowded area. FHA Rejects Flan Builders generally have belit tled Woods effort and some have criticized him on7 the ground he used his government position to get breaks not available to them. As proof that this isn't so, Woods points somewhat ruefully to the fact that FHA turned him down cold. He finally used a lot of his own money and got private financing which enables his buyers to move in with.no down payment (except a settlement charge of $237) and monthly, payments of $42.69 for 25 years. This payment includes principal, four per cent interest, taxes, and a minimum water bill William Leavitt, a mass pro ducer who' is building a Long Island community that will house 65,000 persons by the end of 1951, recently disclosed plans to build a low-cost home which he says will make Woods' house look silly.
