because the 1300-acre tract had been deeded to it. Most of the land had been the personal property of the Fords. Some belong to the Ford Motor Go.
 Expect Housing Program
 Mayor John Carey of Dearborn, and other city officials, fully ex- pect some sort of housing program to get under way on the donated Ford land by midsummer, avail- able not only to Ford employees but to others. But the tract is not plotted, no plans have been re- ceived for approval Installation of utilities would take two months.
 The wooded f1atland of the tract adjoining the great Rouge plant and stretching almost across to the "old' part of Dearborn, offers space for housing apparently far beyond the current needs of Dear born, where 600 new houses were built in 1887 anyway.
 The land is worth between three-quarters of million and a million dollars. The only possible way in which it could be of any benefit to charitable foundation

 Detroit, Jan. 24.-Henry Ford has quietly created a foundation that might some day have a great bear ing on the distribution of his vast fortune, and become one of the great charitable foundations in the United States.
 It isn't that now. The Ford Foundation is small as yet Mo- body would have paid any attention to it had not Ford's transfer to it of 1900 acres of fine industrial and residential sites in Dearborn brought the foundation into the open.
 Not that there was anything actually secret about the Ford Foundation. It was incorporated in a routine way in January, 1886, with a nominal capital of $25,000, for the usual scientific, educa- tional and charitable purposes. " It aroused almost no notice at that time.
 But when the story got out re- gently that Ford was about to be- gin a giant 4000-unit housing pro- gram at Dearborn, attention was drawn to the Ford Foundation,

Alfred T. Darling of New York, native of old Canal street of this city, continues to be active in committee assignments for various entertainments held in the Metropolis For instance the night of January last at The Astor Al was member of the committee for the Bobby Fedman testimonial dinner, in which many the leading organizations of the city took part And then on January 14 at the 18th annual entertainment and reception of the New York City police Post Mo- 46O held at the Pennsylvania hotel Al had full charge of the entertainment A total of II numbers were provided, and these presented, the program says, under the personal supervision of Mr. Darling It is always interesting to read of the activities of Al Darling He seems to be in demand at practically every affair arranged by the police and fire departments and other organizations in which proper talent must be provided No knows the theatrical field better, and the acts provided to meet with popular acclaim the part of the onookers and also the organization itself Once in awhile, Al darling drops into the old home town and looks the old surroundings His kid days spent in the old Elm Street school building and later in the Waterbury High school.

would be for the foundation tc sell or rent it and add the pro- ceeds to its assets. At present the vacant land, producing nothing, i a liability because of taxes. Ever those taxes must at present be paid by the foundation witt money donated by the Fords.
 Has No Assets
 The Ford Foundation is not ar operating company. Like the Rockefeller Foundation, it is simply a distributor of assets to ap- proved charitable organizations.
 It has no elaborate organiza- tion, is in no position to launch g housing program. It has three directors, Edsel Ford, Clifford B Longley, a Ford lawyer, and Burt J. Craig, secretary and treasurer of the Ford Motor Co. It has ar office at the Ford plant and g couple of secretaries, but no ma chinery for operating a great prof. ect like building 4000 houses.
 It has confined itself to distrib- uting money which the Fords have given to it. Its representa- tives say that its only connection with the newly-transferred prop erty will be to sell it, perhaps tc some other agency which vii build houses on it.
 Apparently the Fords have already given considerable money to the foundation as it already has given substantial sums tc maintenance of the Ford hospita in Detroit, to the Museum ot Modern Art in New York, to the maintenance of Greenfield Will lage and to the Edison Institute at Dearborn. Also to the Presi. dents Birthday Ball committee and the American Red Cross.
 A Place to Put Money
 It is evident that the existence of such a foundation provides g ready -to-hand place for Ford tt put any of his money or property at any moment that he wishes tc do so, regardless of whether ht has specific project in mind al the moment.
 Should the Ford company make unexpectedly large profits in any one year which, for tax or other purposes, it became advisable te give away, the foundation i ready.
 Should Henry Ford wish tc make at his death any adjustment of his property not immediately essential to the conduct of tho business Qike the Dearborn lanc tract), the foundation is ready. Il would then distribute the money to specific charities at it's leisure.
 Thus the Ford Foundation quietly established, and as yet moi an important philanthropic factor is already established and in g position where it might become overnight one of the country,s greatest foundations for the ad. vancement of educational, charitable or scientific causes.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Some ship operators and Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York have been picturing life on shipboard in the U. s. merchant marine as bedlam of insubordination and insolence to passengers.
 The picture might be less blurred if insiders were not aware that it was accompanied by a certain amount of exaggeration.
 Even some of the most Sympa-
 thetic friends of the maritime labor unions, which are roaring denialS at the charges, believe there have been at least isolated instances of acts by sailors, stew ards and other ship employees that no one can condone. 1t is far from apparent, however, whether these instances are really isolated or whether they represent condi- ton so general that 1t threatens the merchant marine.
 Not all ship operators appear anxious to blare the alleged mis- deeds of American sailors into the headlines. Some operators are aware that recent inspired publicity is bound to scare more and more passengers off their ships. That fact is much more certain than is the chance that Copeland and the oper- ators will be able to get legislation designed to bring the seamen under control"
 No Fear of Death
 Recently a passenger liner officer, identified only as Captain K" laid down a blast which accused seamen of every imaginable offense and misdemeanor. Thanks to Sen ator Copeland, his testimony was played up as that of man whose name was kept secret lest he be as- sassinated by union seamen. Cap tain X" was promised that his testimony wouldn't appear in the newspapers.
 The captain told friends that the shipping company which employs him didn't want him to go to Wash ington and that he didn't want his marine. He scoffed at the story that testimony made public because il would hurt the merchant marine. He scoffed at the story that he feared bodily injury.
 Whether Captain K" exag-
 tod told Hn rNIo in cirrNnIn
 truth is a question Obscured by
 the unprecedented action of Cope
 land in keeping his name out of
 the record on the alleged ground
 that he feared being killed.
 Ordinarily a witness before a senate committee is identified and the men he accuses have a chance to answer specific charges. In this case the record contains no iden- tification of men accused or their ships. The picture was so obviously twisted for publicity purposes that the question of whether American seamen are being maligned as a group still remains open.
 Regret the Change
 The only things that impartial outsiders can be sure of are that American sailors in some instances have not become accustomed to their new-found freedom and power as members of militant unions; that some American merchant marine officers are not yet accustomed to dealing with crews which demand the right to present grievances: and that some shipping operators regret the probable passing of exploitation wages, bad living conditions and complete domination of crews.
 The process of adjustment ap- pears to be difficult for all con- cerned.
