THE ALL-STEEL HOME
New York Times
. The widespread attention that the pre-fabricated
all-steel house at Park Avenue and 39th Street has
been attracting is a gratifying sign of the interest that
has been awakened in the general public by the hous
ing problem. Public authorities have tended to concen
trate too exclusively on slum clearance and multi-fam
ily dwellings. An enormous part of American housing,
however, is, and will continue to be single-family un
its. Unfortunately, the greater number of these at
present are not only inadequate but tasteless and ugly.
The problem of this type of housing for suburban
and rural districts can never be satisfactorily solved by
subsidies. The most promising approach is through
the cooperation of first rate architects and technicians,
who will expeiment with the new materials and new
building methods. The new all-steel house, is a pro
mising step along these lines. Designed by William
Van Alen, architect of the Chrysler Building, it con
tains eight good-sized rooms, a sun terrace, a build-in
garage, an oil furnace, air-conditioning, and every poss
ible new electric gadget in its kitchen. It is truly “a
machine for living in”, and its lines and general appear
ance are esthetcally satisfying. Its sponsors assert
that it can be built for $10,000. The advocates of all
steel private houses will have a good deal of skepticism
to overcome on the part of the public that will want to
know how such houses will resist corrosion and rust
and provide insulation, and what the relative costs and
advantages of steel will be as compared with lumber,
bricks, concrete and other materials. But such skept
icism is no greater than that confronted by any new
development, and the public is more open-minded now
toward new methods of housing construction than it.
has ever been before.

BEHIND THE SCENES IN WASHINGTON
By Rodney Dutcher
WASHINGTON — The mystery of what has hap
pened to Louis R. Glavis the supper-sleuth who has
been combating graft for PWA and the Interior De
partment these last three years, seems almost as deep
as any that Glavis himself has unraveled in his spect
acular career.
But it is clear enough that his days as chief investi

gator for Secretary-Administrator Harold L. Ickes be
gan to be numbered months ago, when he first crossed
the path of Ebert K. Burlew. grand vizier to Ickes.
The duel between Glavis and Burlew became in
tense and the result is that Glavis is going to work for
tiie Senate campaign expenditures investigating com
mittee, and will also do odd jobs of investigating for
the President, on the side.
All hands are at great pains to make clear that
Glavis didn’t resign, and that he wasn’t fired.
Meanwhile there’s an atmosphere of tense embar
rassment in the Ickes domain and one is reminded that
28 years ago, in the Ballinger scandal, Giavis, as a
young man who dared to tell the truth, was a storm
center at the Interior Department. The circumstances,
of course are different.
Ickes has become persuaded that he has suffered
from the “snooping” and “manhunting” tactics of the
big Glavis force of investigators. Many PWA officials
and employees were glad to side with Burlew7, charg
ing various petty or inept invasions of their offices or
projects and insinuations as to their honesty.
On the other hand, Glavis partisans point out that
his division made a strong record against political
crooks, oil company lobbyists shady PWA employees,
code chiselers, kickback operators, and wouldbe grafters.
The recent period of embarrasmen t has been part
ly due to the fact that Glavis knows so much about the
administration and partly due to the fact that the
White House crowd likes his work.
He and his staff have infiltrated through a large
part of the administration, encountering many inter
esting facts here and there. It has suggested that he
might cause the administration an enormous amount of
embarrasment in the campaign were he so minded, and
that thought has not been ignored by Ickes.
However, Roosevelt has sometimes used Glavis for
secret investigations and feels he can use him some
more. The White House continues to be sour on Bur
lew, which appears to be a large reason behind rum
ors of a likely shakedown in the department after el
ection, involving the possible departure of Ickes him
self. These rumors should be discounted, because Ickes
will be used in the campaign and Roosevelt is still
fond of him off and on.
Glavis—detective hero of the Ballinger affair, the
Teapot Dome scandal the Hearst “Mexican documents”
expose, the “power trust” investigation, Ku Klux Klan
investigation, and other causes celebre—will be worth
watching in his campaign investigations,
His record indicates you’ll hear much more of him. i
Whether there will be further explosions in Interior |
'and PWA is anybody’s guess. ;
