Be Naive, Kngallen
Tells Reporters

he becomes in distinguishing the
phoney from the genuine. No,
I'd say the longer a reporter
stays in the business the least
likely he is to get bored with
people and hence, with his job"
Damon Runyon, famous col
umnist, sports writer and author,
once wrote of Jim Kilgallen: HE
is a remarkable copy producer.
and a good writer, too. He Is a
nice man to work with, and a
tough man to work against. He
can cover any kind Of a story. He
is an editors dream of o re-
porter"
Remain unsophis t / C ated,
naive, curious, Open-minded.
Those are Jimmy KilgalIen's
words of advice to aspiring re-
pOrterS.

Europe Pioneered

From this condition came the
modern development of the an.
cient idea of community planning,
Of large-scale housing, Of scientific
treatment of social sores. Fortu-
nately for America, Europe already
had Travelled far along the same
road. All that it was necessary for
the United States to do was to
apply the lessons European nations
had learned, patterning its pro
grams after those Of the older
civilization overseas.
For the most part such housing
projects and garden communities
as have been built in the United
States have come into being since
the World War. But there is an
earlier record, in addition to ELL
ropes experience and the early CO.
operative communities in this
country, which pointed the way.

James Kilgallen very likely
would be the last reporter in the
world novelist would write a
book about.
AS ace reporter for 1nternation-
al News Service, Jimmy" prob
ably has covered more murder
trials and has interviewed as
many famous persons as any liv-
ing news monger. He has been
banging out hot news since hitch
ing-post and water-trough days in
every sort of place from whistle
stop to roaring metropolis. Once
he edited q paper in Laramie,
Wyoming.
He's seen men gasp their last
breath in the electric chair. Yet,
he has faith in justice. He's
talked with hundreds Of the great
and the meek, the Philistine and
the phoney. Still, he has faith
in the human tribe. That doesn't
fit the ordinary noveists'S pat
tern. All fiction ScribeS are
cynical, Sneering peSsimiStS, in
clined to doubt the virtue or good
motive Of others.
Kilgallen is a lean, neat, wide
eyed fellow, whose hair is slightly
flecked with gray. And he wears
a clean shirt with starched col
lar!
Asked recently whether inter
viewing big-wigs hasn't become
just an ordinary job, Kilgallen re-
piled:
"On the contrary, II find 1t
more fascinating today than /
did at first. You've heard the
phrase that no two peas in a pod
are exactly alike, or that no two
things in nature ever are the
the same? Well, two men may be
equally as great, but there is al
ways some little distinction
which sets one apart from the
other. And what makes one
person great does not invariably
bring greatness to another.
Sometimes these differences
seem microscopic, but they are
the things which test the re-
pOrter's skill. He should make
it his job to detect these Varia-
tiOns of character. It's really .
great game. And the longer one

By T. A. HUNTLEY

BY T. A. HUNTLEY
Without fuss or fanfare pri-
vate agencies and individuals
in the United States have been
Iaboring for years to give the
country a new conception of
housing. Until the Federal
Government entered this field,
the development of a housing
consciousness, as we'll as the
construction of pioneer prof.
ects, had been left entirely to
these groups.
Examination of these prof.
ects shows that most of them
sprang from a sense of social
responsibility. A few had
their inception in an invest
ment motive. A still smaller
number originated as cooper
ative enterprises. But regard
less of their initial impulse,
the curious thing about this
whole pioneering program is
that the projects have been
uniformly successful when
properly planned. Even those
which were philanthropic in
purpose have been able as a
rule to stand on their own
feet.
Long before the appearance OF
garden cities, garden homes deVei-
opments, great slum-clearance
projects and low-rental housing in
the United States, by transplanta-
ton from Europe, there were CO.
operative communities whose his
tory goes back in some instances
to the adoleScent days of the Re-
public. Some of them were COM
munistic in concept, antedating by
generations the spread of the com
munistic philosophy through mod
ern Europe. Property was held in
common, the houses were built
and owned by the communities.
and in several such communities
the ruralindustrial idea blosSomed
and bore fruit three, e,quarters OF a
century before the alphabetical
agencies of the New Deal rem
troduced it in the Greenbelt and
subsistence homestead commun-
tits now nearing completion in va
rious parts of the country under
the aegis of Federal patronage.
The Washington times., 1937-01-26
Three Examples

In most of these early commun.
ities the cooperative principle per-
sisted until one of two things hap
pened: The younger generation
walked out to seek fame and for
tune elsewhere, leaving it to their
elders to carry on or hquidate the
community's activities; or the
communities were overtaken and
submerged in a capitaliStic society
as their earnings or the expansion
of their interests, plus the IN
earned increment of the property
holdings, made it profitable for
them to sell out, liquidate or mod
ify their basic character as purely
cooperative institutions. T h e
Oneida Community in New York,
the Economics near Pittsburgh,
the Owenites in the Middle West
and other groups which planned
and built communities Of this
character are examples in point.
These were the original planned
communities in the United States.
Most of them came into existence
during the middle decades of the
nineteenth century. Then followed
o long lapse in the development OF
the planned-community concep-
ton, as an individualistic society
built its own houses in haphazard
fashion and to its own taste.
AS wealth accumulated, piling
up great fortunes for the few, and
the industrial civilization which
produced it brought misery to
many of those at the bottom Of the
heap, two things happened which
were new to America:
First, there developed a def
mite need for remedies designed
to cure the social ills so intro
duced.
Second, there developed a So
cial consciousness which, Dol
stored by accumulations OF cap.
ital, set out to supply it.
The Washington times., 1937-01-26
Third Plan Wins

In 1928 the garden city came
to the United States for the first
time, from England. under the
sponsorship of a woman. 1t is
called Mariemont. Located nine
miles northeast of Cincinnati
where one of the three new Green
belt Communities is also being
built-Mariemont was the culmi-
nation Of IS years discussion and
negotiation. It's sponsor was Mrs.
Mary M. Emery. a public-Spirited
citizen, who liked the English
garden towns so much that she
labored necessarily to transplant
the same planning principle to
this country.
A non-profit undertaking, fl
The Washington times., 1937-01-26

Apartment houses we're built in
1905 and 1912. The latter two
were for Negroes.
Out of earnings from the more
successful latter projects the
organization in 1882 built Phipps
Garden Apartments on Long
Island. Earnings from all Of the
projects are reinvested in a fund
for new housing developments.
Thus this particular philanthropy
not only has paid its way, but
earned enough as it went along
to enable it constantly to enlarge
its field of activity.

TWO Successes

Carnegie steel millionaires who
after accumulating his millions
transferred their interests to New
York, launched Phipps Houses,
Inc, with a gift Of $1,000, 900.
From this start grew a philan-

At the same time, if you have q
