Commander DreS9l
Has a Birthday

Comdr. Alger H. Dresel. U. S. NJ,
is Al today. which, when his
record of duty is considered, is
a rather remarkable milestone to
pass.
He commanded a destroyer in
submarine-infested waters during
the World War; was commanding
officer of the Nays dirigible
Akron at the time of it's Inflated
flight along the East Coast The
escaped the crash, and was
among the survivors picked up
out of the Pacific last year when
the dirigible Macon met its end.
His has been a charmed career,
indeed. ~
Today he celebrated his birth,
day aboard the light cruiser
Raleigh, with the fleet in Pacific
waters, to which he is attached.
Born in Annapolis January "a,
1889, Dresel was educated and
reared in Maryland's "Crabtown
and was appointed to the Naval
Academy by President Theodore
Roosevelt in 1905. At the
Academy he acquired a wide col
lection of nicknames-"Mutt,"
"Squidge," "Algy," and "Drizzle"
none of which can be ex-
planned by his fellow officers.
Dresel, by the way, possesses
the rare gift of personal mag
netism. People find themselves
liking him before they even
thought they knew him.

No Spik Inqlish?
Here's q Start
On Been
Been-is it bean" or "bin"?

occH-AS IL Ucdu VI Dl1I
Neither. It's just "been," &C
cording to the National Broadcast
ing Company and if you can't say
been" and make it mean been, p"
then you need never apply for a
job as an NBC announcer.
At least that's what K. H. Berk-
eley, manager of the two NBC sta
tons here said today, in agreeing
with DR.. A. Lloyd James, linguistic
advisor to the British Broadcast
ing Company.
DR.. James. who is also professor
of phoneticS at the University Of
London, has just arrived in the
United State to confer with Amer
lean authorities on enunciation in
regard to setting radio standards.
The professor feels that Eng
lish is not the prerogative of
any one nation or group of per-
sons. While the EngliShman
says bean" when he means
"been"-because he was reared
that way-there is no reason for
the American to follow suit.
Mr.. Berkeley agrees, and his
instruction to broadcasters is:
Don't use a drawl or twang.
Keep away from sectionaliSm
in the form of a Harvard accent,
or an English accent, or
Southern accent.
Speak a typical American
English that all persons can
understand,

ASK u. 5. FUNDS
FOR SLUNS'
CLEARANCE
Meeting to MapCourse
Contrary to Fed
eraI Policy

Establishment of new Federal
agency, whose purposes would oe
in direct conflict with those Of the
existing Federal Housing Admins
tration. is the primary purpose OF
a three-day meeting to be opened
at the Hotel willard tonight by
the National Public Housing con-
ference, it was learned today.
The conference, called by q
New York organization whose SEES
sions will be addressed by a
United States Senator and several
ranking Federal officials, has an
nounced as its aim the creation
of a permanent agency to expend
governmental funds in slum clear
ance and low-cost housing,
Contrary to Policy
The proposal is contrary to a
policy already laid down by the
Administration through the work
ings of the FILA. which fosters
slum clearance and low-cost houS-
ing by means of private capital.
rather than public funds.
Although governmental appro-
priations for much work of this
type have been expended during
the past three years by such or
CARNATIONS as the Public Works
Administration, the scheme al
ways has been considered a tenn
porary one, partly intended to re-
lieve unemployment.
Despite it's temporary nature,
the Federal slum clearance pro-
gram has aroused much oppoSi-
ton, on the ground that it uses
money coming from all taxpayers
for the benefit of a few.
Insure Private Investment
Under the law creating the
FILA. however, the Government
is forbidden to expend public
funds for housing construction,
but encourages private capital to
enter the field by inSuring its in
veStments. The law also provides
means whereby the FILA will
eventually become Self-Supporting.

The Value
Of Satisfaction

Satisfaction is the barometer of business.
It's presence inspires public confidence. Its
absence predicts loss of trade. To give
satisfaction means to sell goods that are
high in quality, serviceable in wear, up-to-
the-moment in style, at best value prices;
and to combine with these quick, efficient,
and obliging store service.
