Assures Homes for Vets

WNV Service, 1616 Eye Street, N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
(This is the third of a series describ
ing how American ingenuity is help
ing to solve one of Americas biggest
problems—the GJ.’s No. 1 headache—
the housing shortage).
, WASHINGTON.—Have you been
In York, Pa., lately? It’s a big-
little town of 50,000 population in
southern Pennsylvania with a hin
terland of rich farm country, of the
famous Pennsylvania Dutch, where
tables groan with seven-sweet-and-
seven-sour dishes, as good victuals
as you’ll find though you wonder
the world between hors d’oeuvres
and baked alaskas from pole to pole
and back again.
York is a busy place, a place of
bustling industries whose products
are known from coast to coast It
4s also a town which can lift its eyes
from the plowshare and the forge to
think, simply and soundly, about
caring for its own. It’s a town of
ingenuity.
Walk out to the Midland avenue
section with me. You come upon a
batch of clap
board houses —
they line both
sides of the street
: for a whole block
in various
stages of comple
tion. One group of
workmen is fin
ishing the grad
ing on lots; an
other hauls plas
ter into a house;
still others un
load door frames
across the street,
and put the fin
ishing touches to
the roof of a house being built for
a veteran.
Go a little farther downtown and
you come to the Elm street houses—
neat, obviously new, two-bedroom
bungalows which have just been sold
to veterans for $5,250 each.
On the other side of town, in Park
Village, you can drive for blocks
through winding streets flanked by
new houses, partly completed houses,
excavations for houses, and every
where the cheerful song of the ham
mer and the saw, the lap of pouring
concrete, the thud of the pick in the
deep soil.
When the lights go on at night,
you will notice that a great many
of the old-fashioned, three-story
row houses in downtown York are
lighted from top to bottom. You’d
guess that a lot of people were liv
ing in those houses. You’d be right.
The buildings have been converted
into small apartments.
It looks as though York is getting
itself pretty well housed. A glance
at the figures confirms just how well
the town is doing. In 1946 York
Baukhage
built 613 new houses—100 per cent
more houses than were ever built
in any previous year of the city’s
history. In addition, Yorkites add
ed 481 new dwelling units by con
verting old houses into apartments.
Of course, this didn’t just hap
pen. It was made to happen by
a great many local people deter
mined that York’s veterans
would have a place to live. t
The big drive got under way last
year when a survey showed that one
out of every three York veterans
was living doubled up with friends
or relatives in dilapidated old
buildings in need of major repairs,
or in trailers without standard
plumbing facilities. That’s the way it
was in York a year ago when Mayor
John L. Snyder appointed an 18-
member emergency housing com
mittee.
The committee's decision was that
York should be able to provide
1,200 new units in 1946; another
1,800 this year. They called a meet
ing of every one concerned with hous
ing; asked each builder to stand up
and tell the group how many of
the needed houses he would build in
1946—until the pledges met the
quota.
Shortages of materials were a se
rious threat to this undertaking, but
York builders had accepted their
quotas and were determined to build
houses. When they couldn’t find the
scarce materials near home, they
went to Buffalo, to Ohio, to Hagers
town, Md.
Members of the housing commit
tee pitched in with enthusiasm. One
of them came back from a Sunday
drive with two kegs of nails in his
car—bought on the spot when he dis
covered a little country hardware
store that had some. Someone else
found a millwork concern in a near
by town which had some door frames
for sale.
To keep prices down, local
builders voluntarily cut profits.
One went so far as to take a prof
it of only $50 per house on a
large group of veterans’ houses.
Because converting to apartments
is quicker and takes less materials,
York also undertook a campaign
in this direction, aided by the Cham
ber of Commerce, the local housing
expediter, banks, press and radio.
In 1946—a year when shortages
brought building programs in many
communities to a dead stop—York
built twice as many houses as had
been produced there in any previous
year. York’s goal for 1947 is 1,800
new living units. The folk in York
aren’t promising anything — they
aren’t talking about what they’re go
ing to do. But in the first four
months of the year—with the build
ing season just getting under way—
they’ve filed over 1,100 applications
to build houses.
SCHOOL AT NORTHERNMOST OUTPOST . . . There seems to be no
evading the traditional “three R’s.’’ These little Eskimo residents
of Point Barrow, northernmost outpost of the United States, are
learning them at the Point Barrow school (background) from Amer
ican teachers. Point Barrow, a little village covered by snow the year
around, is the center of extensive oil explorations started by the navy
in 1944.
NEWS REVIEW
Big 4 Parley Is Failure;
Wheat Pact Is Delayed
School Boys Learn Constitution
On a 140-acre fruit farm a couple
of miles from Olcott Beach where
I used to go swimming and the name
of which was taken by one of the
sweet singers of the last genera
tion (some of you remember Chaun-
cey Olcott of “My Wild Irish Rose”)
—anyhow on that farm a young
boy strained with the pruning
knife; stretched to pluck the fuzzy,
Niagara county peaches.
That was scarcely a decade ago.
On a bright March day, this same
fellow—now 17—came into my of
fice. Sinct he was a graduate of a
Buffalo s hool, we had something
in commen despite the gulf of the
years. We had something else in
common, too. I also had once won
a prize in oratory.
Mine had to do with a gentleman
named Spartacus when I was a
Masten Park high school entrant.
His was a far more timely topic—
the Constitution of the United States.
His name is Edward Smith and he’s
a graduate of St. Joseph’s on Main
street in Buffalo.
Smith is one of the four national
winners of the American Legion’s
oratorical contest held each year to
stimulate American high school
boys to study and understand the
Constitution. Never was such an un
derstanding needed more.
Winning was no cinch. Two hun
dred thousand boys from every state
entered this year. Smith (there
weren’t too many “Smiths” in this
contest, he told me) had to face
nine different critical audiences—
one in his school; one in the city of
Buffalo; one in Erie county; one in
the district; one in the zone; one in
the state; one in the region; one
in the section, and then the final heat
—the national contest at Charles
ton, W. Va.
Smith’s theme was that Americans
must not be too complacent about
the dangers of Communism; that
our Constitution in itself is not pro
tection for our form of government
—that its duties and privileges must
constantly be exercised by every cit
izen. He told me, incidentally, that
Communism in relation to the Con
stitution was quite a popular sub
ject among this year’s contest en
trants.
Edward Smith of Buffalo, a win
ner in the American Legion ora
torical contest based on the Con
stitution, is being quizzed by
Baukhage, also an ex-Buffalo
schoolboy, on the Bill of Rights.
MOSCOW MEETING:
Little Accomplished
After seven weeks of wrangling,
the foreign ministers’ conference at
Moscow ended in a state banquet.
Results of the parley were ex
tremely disappointing, even to
those whose expectations had been
small. It had been hoped that a
treaty for Austria would be worked
out, but even preliminary agree
ments could not be reached. The
more important matter of the Ger
man treaty suffered the same fate,
as expected.
Secretary of State Marshall blunt
ly blamed the Russians for ob
structing the negotiations. He
charged that the Soviet delegation
had “widened rather than narrowed
our differences."
Principal points of controversy
were the definition of German and
Austrian assets which the Russians
want as reparations and the disar
mament and demilitarization plan,
known as the “four nation treaty.”
Almost the only proposition ac
cepted was one, introduced by Rus
sian Foreign Minister Molotov, that
all German prisoners of war in
Allied hands be returned to Ger
many by December 31, 1948.
Failure to complete the Austrian
treaty means that occupation troops
of the four powers will remain in
Austria for several more months.
WAR GRAFT:
Garsson Case Again
A new move in the drawn-out war
contracts graft case of Representa
tive May and the
Garsson brothers
will be May’s testi
mony in his own
defense. His law
yer, Sawyer Smith,
told the court that
it is untrue that the
71 - year - old Ken-
t u c k y politician
profited from deals
between the Gars
son munitions
plants and Cum
berland Lumber company. "Andrew
J. May will take the stand and ex
plain to you how every dollar of
that money was spent, and how not
one cent went to Andrew J. May,”
the lawyer asserted.
On trial with May are Henry and
Murray Garsson, head of the war
materials s y n d i-
cate, and Joseph
Freeman, the Gars
son agent in Wash
ington. The govern-
m e n t prosecutor
contends that May
received $5,000 out-
right from the
Garssons and two
checks for $1,000
each for “interven
ing with war de-
partment offi
cials” in behalf of the companies.
H. Garsson
Garsson
New evidence turned up by the FBI,
according to the prosecutor, is the
typewriter used in preparing the
false invoices of the lumber com
pany, through which it is alleged
May received the bribes.
WHEAT AGREEMENT:
British Won’t Sign
There will be no world-wide
agreement of wheat - producing
countries on prices and marketing
procedures in the near future. This
seems certain as the International
Wheat conference in London has
broken up on British refusal to sign
the proposed plan. Negotiations have
been in progress for many weeks in
an attempt to formulate a five-year
price and marketing schedule.
Sir Herbert Broadley, British del
egate, explained his reason for re
jecting the draft was that the price
scheme in it would not enable the
price of wheat to fall quickly
enough to a reasonable level. “The
United Kingdom cannot afford to
pay excessive prices for its im
ports,” he said. “The world must
face much lower prices for wheat
than those ruling at present, but we
want to see those prices achieved
in a manner which protects the pro
ducer against hardship and enables
necessary switches to be made
without disaster.”
Delegates from Canada, Australia
and India followed the British lead.
Leslie Wheeler, U. S. delegate,
urged immediate acceptance of the
draft. Brazil’s delegate seconded
him. This move was rejected.
Wheeler then asked that the pro
posal be sent to the international
wheat council, which will be held in
Washington, and that countries not
now adhering be invited to join. The
conference accepted this request.
NO RENT BOOST:
House Kills 10% Plan
The house banking committee, re
versing its 'previous stand, voted
down a proposal for a 10 per cent
blanket increase in rents. It ap
proved and sent on for action a bill
continuing controls until December
31. The senate banking committee
already has voted unanimously
against any raise, and the senate’s
bill would continue control until
March 1, 1948.
The vote in the house committee
was 14 to 10. As outlined by Rep
resentative Wolcott, chairman, the
house bill provides:
Continuance of rent control just
about as it is now until December
31, with the President having author
ity by proclamation to keep ceilings
in effect until next March 1 if he
deems it necessary.
A new provision whereby tenants
and landlords may voluntarily enter
lease contracts for up to 15 per cent
increases in rent, provided these
leases do not expire before Decem
ber 31, 1948.
WARNS OF SURPLUSES
Strong Farm Program Urged
\X7 A OUT AT/''' r P/'~fNT T7’ 3 „ J , . A
WASHINGTON. — Expanded con
sumption and adjusted production
are the major points of a strong
farm program recommended by
Edward A. O’Neal, president of
American Farm Bureau federation,
in testifying before the house agri
culture committee.
“It would be folly to assume that
we will not have burdensome sur
pluses of farm produce again that
may wreck farm prices,” O’Neal
warned.
In endorsing reciprocal trade
principles, the farm leader declared
that “agriculture more than ever
needs an expanded volume of for
eign trade to absorb its output.”
Although describing the farm leg
islation since the early '30s as “the
greatest cooperative endeavor be
tween farmers and the govern
ment,” O’Neal criticized “a tend
ency to develop centralized control
of these programs from Washing
ton.” Instead, he urged transfer of
larger authority to state extension
services as a means of effecting
savings in costs and providing
greater service to the masses of
farmers.
O’Neal informed the house com
mittee, which is considering a long-
range farm policy, that his organi
zation has not come to final conclu
sions on the subject, but he read
this statement:
“We recognize the desirability of
full agricultural production, but
agriculture cannot maintain full
production if industry is going to
maintain rigidly high prices by cut
ting down production and applying
monopolistic controls, or if labor is
going to insist upon maintaining
rigidly high wage rates and to con
tinue such increases in wages with
out regard to productivity, and to
enforce such rates with scarcity
policies which discourage consump
tion and throw people out of work
and onto relief rolls.
“It is this approach which leads
to economic chaos.
"Farmers believe in an economy
of abundance and stand ready to
join with industry and labor to
achieve maximum production and
maximum employment through
price policies and wage policies
which are geared to a maximum
level of consumption.” 1

INDUSTRIAL LABORATORIES
RAISE LIVING STANDARDS
During wartime the government
turned to the laboratories main
tained by industry for those secret
weapons that played so large a part
in our defeat of Germany and Japan.
For that period 'of national emergen
cy only war’s needs were consid
ered by these laboratories. From
them Cetane every effective device
other than the atom bomb. The de
velopment of that called for a great
er expenditure, and a higher degree
of scientific knowledge, than could be
supplied by industrial research or
ganizations.
In peacetime it is the indus
trial laboratories that provide
the advancement, the ever-
increasing standard of living, we
enjoy. They have taken mnch
of the hai^ labor and the long
hourb out of farming. They have
found new uses for farm prod
ucts, which means a better level
of prices for those products. By
the invention of the internal
combustion engine they have put
all America on wheels, and cre
ated millions of jobs. They put
refrigeration, automatic washing
machines, hundreds of electrical
appliances Into our homes. From
these laboratories came the per
fection of radio and television,
and countless other gadgets that
have made life easier and more
comfortable.
During the last session, and again
at this session, of congress, the law
makers have considered establish
ment of scientific laboratories to be
operated by the government for the
purpose of accomplishing those
things that have been done by in
dustry. It would add another large
and expensive bureau to an already
unwieldy government machine, and
put thousands, many thousands, of
additional bureaucrats on govern
ment payrolls, without accomplish
ing more, or as muph, as now is
accomplished by private industry.
THINGS PEOPLE WILL BUY
The purpose of the privately-
owned industrial laboratory is to
produce those things that can be
sold to the people. The urge back
of their efforts is profit. Govern
ment operated laboratories would
produce not profits but votes. They
would be but another cog in the
wheel of partisan control, which,
carried to a conclusion, means to
talitarianism.
What we need, if anything, is
less discouragement on the part
of government for the research
carried on by privately-owned
laboratories. The action of the
department of justice in the case
of the Aluminum Company of
America provides an example.
That company operates a large
research laboratory, the ex
pense of which is charged as an
operating cost. The government
brought suit against the com
pany to materially limit that re
search. The case dragged out for
a period of some three years, at
a cost of many thousands of
dollars to both the government
and the company. In the end
the company won. We, the tax
payers, paid for prosecution of
that case. We, the consum
ers, paid, of necessity, the cost
of the defense, included in the
price of every aluminum stew
pan.
Under our* competitive economic
system the best interests of the
American people will be better
served by the research of private
industry, backed by a profit urge,
than by any vote-purchasing bureau
to benefit whatever party may be
in power. Private industry has done
a remarkable job. Competition takes
care of the public interest.

LAST LINE AGAINST REDS
IF AMERICAN ideologies, our
governmental and economic sys
tems, our constitutional liberties are
to be saved, it will be because of
the sane, hard-headed sense of the
American rural people. They repre
sent the last line of entrenchment
to block the advance of Russian
totalitarianism. These rural people
take seriously the values America
offers. They are not so engrossed,
as are the people of the cities, in
having fun” that they have no time
to think of the future of their coun
try. The leaders of our rural people
are the editors of their home-town
papers. Those editors are known to,
and respected by, the men, women
and children of the town and farm
homes of their communities. They
are fighting the dragon of totalitari
anism without any assistance from
any urban source, and their lead is
being followed by the people they
serve.

‘SEE AMERICA FIRST’
First
In a Series
National Parks
National Parks Are Major
Lure to Vacation Throngs
WNU Features.
Vacation-hungry Americans are on the move. Tourist
trails once again are jammed as the American public, with its
vacation lanes unshackled of wartime restrictions, attempts
to cram a full quota of fun and frolic, rest and relaxation,
adventure and sightseeing into the short vacation span of a
few weeks.
The upsurge in vacation travel is noted in all forms of land,
sea and air transportation. Trains and buses are crowded; air
lines are booked with reservations; <$>-
passenger vessels and even tramp
steamers are unable to accommo
date all those bent on sea-faring
jaunts.
With transportation, food and ho
tel accommodations in Europe still
insecure in the war’s aftermath,
most Americans still are content, as
they wei;e last year, to heed the old
slogan of “See America First.”
The nation’s principal attraction
for vacationists is the national park
system, em
bracing 169
separate
areas in all
parts of the
United States.
Last year the
park system
attracted a
record-shattering 21,600,000 visitors,
half a million more than in any pre
vious year.
On the basis of attendance so far,
Newton B. Drury, director of the Na
tional Park service, which adminis
ters the system, predicts that 1947
will set another new record.
“What’s more,” says the park
chief, “we hope to be able to take
better care of our visitors than we
did last year, when our park staffs
had nowhere near recovered from
the reductions of wartime."
Concessioners who operate the ho
tels, lodges, stores and transporta
tion system in the parks also were
shorthanded last year, Drury points
out, but he adds that “they prob-.
ably will be in better shape this
year.”
• * *
AS HAS BEEN the case for many
years, one of the most popular travel
objectives of the American vaca
tioner will be Yellowstone National
park in Wyoming, Montana and Ida
ho. Yellowstone is the oldest park
in the entire system; it is, in fact,
the oldest national park in the world,
having celebrated the 75th anniver
sary of its founding on March 1
of this year.
Containing approximately 2,213,000
acres, it is noted for its geysers and
hot springs, of which it has more
than 'any other area in the world.
Old Faithful, spouting its steaming
waters high into the air at intervals
of about an hour, day and night,
summer and winter, has become a
virtual symbol of Yellowstone.
Yet Yellowstone would be a great
national park if there weren’t a gey
ser or hot spring. While the two
great falls of the Yellowstone and
the Grand Canyon of the Yellow
stone with its vividly colored walls
combine to form its most spectacu
lar scenic feature, the park abounds
in natural beauty. Yellowstone
lake, with its hundred miles of
shoreline and its eastern border of
lofty peaks; scores of towering wa
terfalls; Obsidian cliff, of black
glass; high and sweeping upland val
leys and vast expanses of little-
known wilderness — these merely
suggest the variety of the scenery
is possesses.
No other national park is as wide
ly known for its wildlife. Yellowstone
played an important part in resto
ration of the American bison, after
it had come close to extinction, and
there are hundreds of them in the
park today. In quiet streams and
marshes, the traveler is likely at any
time to come across moose. Elk,
antelope, bighorn sheep, grizzly
bear, although not always seen by
the traveler, are there and in num
bers.
Most familiar, perhaps, is the
black bear, and this animal pro
vides one of the most vexations
problems that confronts the Na
tional Park service. For, de
spite warnings that they are wild
animals and dangerous, visitors
insist on feeding the bears.
Accommodations for visitors in
Yellowstone range all the way from
luxurious hotels down through inex
pensive housekeeping cabins to the
campgrounds which are scattered
throughout the park. Hotel and
lodge centers are situated at Mam
moth Hot Springs, location of park
headquarters; at Old Faithful, Can
yon and Lake, while cabins are avail
able at Camp Roosevelt, near Tow
er Junction. There are highway en
trances to the park from north,
northeast, east, south and west. Be
cause tile demand for accommoda
tions is certain to be heavy this year,
those who plan visits to the park are
advised to obtain reservations as far
in advance as possible.
• • *
IN MARKED CONTRAST with the
oldest of the national panks is the
newest, Big Bend in West Texas,
located in a big bend of Rio Grande
river. The State of Texas made a
present of this 700,000-acre park to
the people of the United States in
1944—so short a time ago that there
has been little opportunity to provide
it with the developments found in
most of the older parks.
While much of the park is semi-
desert, where the desert vegetation is
staging a steady recovery of its nat
ural condition after many years of
heavy grazing, its heart is the for
ested mass of the Chisos mountains,
rising to elevations of more than
7,000 feet. Along the Rio Grande
are three sheer - walled canyons,
Mariscal, Boquillas and the Grand
Canyon of Santa Helena, the deepest
and most imposing of the three.
An improved road southward to
the park from the town of Marathon
is now under construction, and ulti
mately it will be reached by a first-
class road. Accommodations in the
park, for 40 to 60 persons, are simple
but good; and many visitors find a
visit to the area an interesting ex
perience, in spite of, or perhaps be
cause of, the lack of development.

Hyde Park Visitors Cause Damage
WASHINGTON. — Half a million
visitors have worn such a path
through Franklin D. Roosevelt’s
Hyde Park, N. Y., home, now a
national historic site, that a bit of
bracing and carpeting has become
necessary, the National Park serv
ice reports.
Furthermore, according to the
park service, there has been “some
wear and tear" on the grounds and
lawns have been ruined.
The stairway to the second floor
has been braced and a heavy serv
ice carpet laid over the worn floor
ing at the entrance.
The home, grave and 33 acres of
grounds were opened to the pub
lic April 12, 1946, on the first anni
versary of the late president’s death.
Only about 2,500 persons can en
ter the house itself on any one day
and no more than 75 are admitted
at one time for safety reasons.
