PROMISES:
Made for Housing
House Republicans indicated they
were tired of the federal housing
wrangle. So, they promised, they’d
introduce a housing bill to substi-
tute for the administration’s pro-
gram.
It was said to include a plan for
privately-owned homes and some
low-rent property. In fact, the sub-
stitute measure would embody
most of the administration’s slum-
clearance ideas.

Uncovered Relics Yield
Story of Primitive Man
LONDON. — Archaeologists
thought they had caught a glimpse
of the lives of Britain’s pagan
Saxon ancestors through relics dug
up recently from an ancient burial
ground on Farthing Down near
Coulsdon.
Beside the skeleton of a child
of about 2, probably a boy, had
been placed his well-loved toy
iron spear. A child in another
grave was thought to be a girl.
Beneath her chin were found
the colored beads she used to wear
and someone, more than 13 cen-
turies ago, had placed a large dec-
orated bead in her mouth when
she was laid to rest.
Leg and ankle bones of an old
man were found to be bent, prob-
ably because he had squatted on
his heels in a primitive home
which boasted no chair.

the federal indictment of Pres-

They recalled that the terminal-

dollars in 1947 provided a sizeable
such stimulus for the nation’s busi-
ness.
The plan to start the checks roll-
ing in January brought vigorous
criticism on Capitol Hill as Repre-
sentative Keating (R., N. Y.) de-
manded that congress set October
15 as the deadline. He introduced
a bill to hurry the dividend pay-
ments to that date. He declared
that the government had “over-
charged” veterans on their life in-
surance, and that the money should
be refunded “immediately, not a
year from now.”

VETERANS:
Get Good News
Veterans of World War II were
all set for a surprise bonanza.
The Veterans’ administration an-
nounced in Washington that cash
refunds totaling 2.8 billion dollars
will begin for them about next Jan-
uary—that is, for all GI’s who took
out national service life insurance
during the war. These were esti-
mated to number some 16 million.
Under the new payments, an-
nounced by the VA, each ex-ser-
viceman or his heirs would receive
an average.of $175 from life insur-
ance dividends. Described as a
“dividend” the money is to be re-
paid from two sources:
1. An eight billion dollar surplus
which developed from the fact that
G.I. insurance premiums were
based by law on a standard mortal-
ity (death) rate table which turned
out to be higher than needed.
2. Earnings from the surplus.
In general, it was explained,
every veteran who took out national
service insurance and kept it in
force at least three months will be
eligible—provided the policies were
not issued after January 1, 1948.
No refunds are to be made on pol-
icies issued after that date.
MEANWHILE, government of-
ficials saw in the insurance divi-
dend payments a timely “shot in
the arm” for business in 1950 which

WELFARE:
More for Less
Signing into law a bill to reorgan-
ize the federal government, Pres-
ident Truman offered a major pro-
posal. He wants a new department
of welfare created with its chief
officer given full cabinet rank.
THE IDEA is not a completely
new one. It was heard frequently
during the early days of the Roose-
veltian era, much oftener during
the latter years of F. D. R’s regime.
While this proposition com-
manded chief attention of the na-
tion’s press, the President offered
six other streamlining plans aimed
at giving the taxpapers better ser-
vice for less money.
These included:
Transfer of the U.S. employment
and unemployment compensation
offices to the labor department.
PLACING of the two key defense
agencies — national security coun-
cil and national security and re-
sources board—directly in the
President’s office.
Tightening up administration of
the post office department, mari-
time commission and civil service
commission.
Transfer of the public roads
administration to the commerce de-
partment.
The President said the plans,
which followed closely several
major recommendations of the
Hoover commission on government
reorganization, will not “automati-
cally” produce efficiency and cut
spending.
BUT HE SAID they open the
door to improvements that will
make the government “more vigor-
ous” and operate more smoothly
at a lower cost “over a period of
time.”
No one expected any reduction in
federal spending, and the Presi-
dent’s conclusions might be con-
strued as a preliminary defense set-
up for continued federal outlay at
the present, or an increased level,
despite the Hoover commission
recommendations and the Presi-
dent’s own seven-point manifesto.
It appeared that all the commo-
tion about repairs to the White
House wasn’t quite over, although
congress approved and sent to the
President a money bill carrying
funds for work on the White House.
The money was included in a meas-
ure calling for expenditure of 671
million dollars for various govern-
ment obligations.
THE HOUSE, which had passed
the bill earlier, accepted a one-
word amendment approved by the
senate. The change would put it up
to a special six-man commission
whether a separate residence
should be built for the first family,
in addition to the job on the White
House itself.

er for more thoroughly relieving itching.

LABOR:
Bad Timing?
Was the postwar buggy ride of
consumer demand and increasingly
higher wages really over?
The Ford motor company thought
so and said so.
CONFRONTED with a list of de-
mands by the united automobile
workers union, the company made
a significant counter-proposal.
Instead of pay raises and pension,
health and welfare plans as drafted
by the union, the company pro-
posed to peg wages where they
are for another 18 months.
Such action, said the company,
would “set a stabilization pattern
for the entire (national) economy
at this critical time.”
THE UNION, among other things,
had demanded that wages be
pegged to the cost of living.
Pointing out that the cost of living
is down and that the market for
cars might drop up to 32 per cent
after this year, the company de-
clared flatly that it would reject
any change in the work contract
which would mean higher labor
costs—whether in the form of wage
increases or pension or welfare
funds.
THUS the issue was hastening to
a showdown. Could industry stand
firm against another round of wage
increases, or would labor with its
organized power so stifle industry
that capitulation would be inevi-
table?

GERMANY:
Partial Accord
The four-week conference of the
council of foreign ministers of the
four major powers had ended with
partial accord having been reached.
The western powers and Russia
cleared away obstacles to an Aus-
trian independence treaty and
agreed to try to get along a little
better in Germany.
THE RUSSIANS, however, were
in there pitching right up to the
final moments of the parley. The
conference ended in a flurry of
excitement as Russia sought un-
successfully to make a last minute
change in the announcement of the
meeting’s results.
The Reds had promised not to
reimpose a blockade on Berlin in
return for efforts to revive east-
west trade in Germany. This was
contained in a six-point statement
of principle by the Big Four to
guide negotiations in Germany.
The Russians were supported in
their 150 million dollar claim on
Austria for German assets, and
swung an upper cut at Yugoslavia’s
Marshal Tito by dropping their
support of Yugoslavian claims on
Austria. These were the points
which cleared the way for an Aus-
trian treaty which has been or-
dered for presentation by Septem-
ber 1.
DESPITE the improvement in
east-west relations growing out of
the conference, American spokes-
men were not optimistic in evalua-
ting results. U.S. Secretary of State
Dean Acheson had no immediate
comment.
Work on the Austrian treaty,
however, was termed a “substantial
step” forward and of no little im-
portance because it would free
Austria and push Soviet troops
farther back into eastern Europe.
It was felt that ground had been
neither gained nor lost in Germany.

'UNIVERSAL MAN':
Johann von Goethe
From every state in the union
and from many foreign lands, dis-
tinguished visitors are pouring into
the historic little frontier town of
Aspen, Colo., to pay honor'to a man
born 200 years ago.
The Goethe Bicentennial Convo-
cation and Music Festival (June
27-July 16) is presenting an imens-
ing roster of thinkers, wr..ers,
statesmen, philosophers, educators
and musicians who will seek to re-
examine and re-interpret the works
and philosophy of Johann Wolfgang
von Goethe, the Universal Man, as
it pertains to the atomic age.
HEADING the impressive list of
lecturers is Albert Schweitzer, of
French Equatorial Africa—phil-
osopher, doctor, musician, theo-
logian — acknowledged throughout
the civilized world as the foremost
modern disciple of Goethe.
The music festival, running in
conjunction with the convocation,
will feature compositions based on
Goethe’s works, monumental
music of equal stature to Goethe,
and music contemporary to him
and known to have been inspiration-
al to him.

“You should be ashamed
yourself,” reprimanded the father
as he gave his son a dressing
down for not having advanced be-
yond the errand-boy stage at his
place of business. “Why, when
George Washington was your age
he was hard at work as a sur-
veyor, earning good money.”
“Sure,” replied the youth in a
swift counter-attack, “and when
he was your age he was President
of the United States.” x.AV.
NOW HE’S IN THE 4-H CLUB . . . President Harry Truman, who is
well on his way to becoming a member of every going organization in
the U. S., received an honorary 4-H club pin when delegates to the
19th annual national 4-H club camp called at the White House to pay
their respects. At the presentation were Mary Bowers of Payne county,
Okla., and Don Rutter of Shelbina, Mo., shown presenting the pin.

REUNION . . . Mary Jane Tru-
man, of Grandview, Missouri, sis-
ter of President Harry Truman,
had a warm reception for the
President on his arrival in Little
Rock. The President was there for
a reunion with his former Battery
“B” artillery buddies.
RED HUNT:
Harvard Cool
Harvard, the nation’s oldest uni-
versity, was having nothing to do
with any Communist-hunting.
There was a reason, officials
said. They felt that to do so might
be a danger to the university’s free-
dom and to its academic integrity.
AND, Harvard held, American
freedom is the school’s “true
glory,” as it once told a man who
tried to “buy” it for 10 million dol-
lars.
The Harvard policy statement in
connection with Communist-hunt-
ing activities was put this way:
“There will be no harassment of
professors for engaging in open and
legal meetings. There will be no
apparatus of inquiry and ‘closer
watch.’
“The harm done by the effort
necessary to discover even a single
clandestine party (Communist)
member would outweigh any pos-
sible benefit.”
