In Seattle, some Section 235 buyers-all on welfare-are suing FHA for damages because, soon after they moved in, the city declared their homes "substandard" and ordered them repaired or condemned...

The ban, which is effective March 1, will be mostly a test of housewives' restraint. Although the law imposes penalties (up to $250 and 15 days in jail) on sellers of detergents, anybody who wants them badly enough can buy them legally in adjoining Nassau County. The real problem is that the detergent industry has not yet developed substitute soaps that work as well and also break down in nature. Even...
