WASHINGTON -U,D-- do
you want your wife to work
after the war?"-number one
poser for lots of GPs-has been
answered by the Army in one
easy lesson.
A war department pamphlet,
one of series issued by the
morale services division 10 slim
ulate discussion in Army groups,
plunges right into the heart OF
the problem:
"The two sexes do not see eye
to eye in regard 10 woman S
proper place some women
prefer overalls to aprons"
ONE Gil TO ANOTHER
From there it's a furious dis
cussion between two CTS. One
of them wants the little woman
to be strictly domestic: Don't
forget that automobiles aren't
the only things that need pro-
ducing," he tells the other Gil.
eff women don't have kids,
pretty soon there won't be any
automobiles nor anybody to
ride in them"
The other CT might have re-
piled, $50 what?" but this time
he makes a snappy comeback;
How would you like to stay
home all day? A woman is
more interesting if she has a
Job, too"
The Army figures that these
things can't be discussed intelli-
gently unless the CT has the
facts at hand. The booklets give
them the background and the
discussion leaders let the feath-
ers fly.
CT roundtables won't have to
confine their debates to purely
domestic issues. The Army
would like to have the soldiers
express themselves on inter
national topics-"What shall be
done with the war criminals"
"Will the French Republic live
again."
BACKGROUND IN FRANCE
The booklet on France gives
the background of the nations
history since World War /:
"Over 100000 Frenchmen
were killed in the last war and
another 100000 wounded; wo-
men outnumbered men ITO 20
100: from 1880 to 1890 the pop
ulation of Germany and Italy

Cities Warned Against
Haphazard Subdiuiding

CHICAGO U.P-Unless local
governments take immediate
steps to control development OF
subdivision property within and
without city limits, there will
be repetition of the defaults,
delinquencies and waste of pub
lie money on unneeded public
improvements in postwar ex-
pansion, the Municipal Finance
Officers Assn. reported.
Excessive subdividing of land,
and the improvements built by
municipalities for the benefit OF
subdivisions between 1920. and
1929, were primary causes of
financial troubles of large and
small cities and suburban areas
in the 1929-35 period, and at
several earlier periods, the as
ISOLATION said.
Municipalities have a stake in
these improvements because
they are called upon to finance
most of them; there are now
available inside most city limits
satisfactory building lots with
all or some public improve
ments; construction outside city
limits will tend further to de-
crease local population and as
sessed valuation of property in
side the city.
CITES VACANT LOTS
Flint, Mich, the association
said, is an example of override
velopment. In 1888 this city of
Isl, 900 had 28,526 vacant lots,
of which 12,257 were so long
tax delinquent that the state
was selling them. Of the vacant
lots, 1871 had sewer and water
facilities.
Suffering from excessive de-
linquency, the city defaulted on
its debts and the citizens at
large were forced to guarantee
payment of the special assess
ment debt. Between 1880 and
1910, Flint's population decreas-
ed from 156,492 to ISL ,543, but
the population in the metropoli-
tan area outside the city in
creased from %, 447 to 37,O11.
Another example is Home
wood, Ala, suburb of Birming-
ham, with a population of 1897.
Of lots in the city, 2,271 have
residents on them and 3,174 are
vacant.
DETROIT TAX SALES
A survey Of ID townships in
the Detroit metropolitan area,
exclusive of the city, was made
in 1893. In the surveyed area,
there were 56O,788 lots subdi-
vided, of which 364,984 were
sold for delinquent taxes at the
1888 tax sale. Tax delinquency
in subdivisions of the 13 town
ships amounted to S64, III ,8l3.
In Westchester county, N. Y,
in 1884 there were 5000 par
cells of delinquent property, of

Landlords Try Hard
10 Evici Tenants

HOUSTON, Tex. - W,D -
Many and devious are the ruses
landlords use to get rid of ten
ants so they can make minor
changes in their properties and
get higher rents under OPA
rules.
One landlady used three but
cher knives and a pistol in evict-
ing tenant.
A landlord was more subtle.
He lived in a duplex. The ten
ant on the other side was wo-
man. The landlord removed
the wall between the apart
ments. The woman moved.

doubled while that of France in
creased only one-third."
In case the CT thinks the
Army is trying to push too many
facts in his face, he can read the
booklet called What Is Propa-
ganda?"
The Army admits that il deals
in propaganda by disseminating
infermation-but good propa-
ganda. 1T can be concealed or
open, emotional or containing
appeals to reason or a combina-
ton" but the essence of democ-
racy is that rival points of view
have the right to compete in the
open.

LEARN RADIO REPAIR

LEARN RADIO REPAlR
Men who were shoe clerks be-
fore the war will open their own
radio repair shops because they
have learned how TO build a ra
do set while still in a wheel
chair.
Others, who drove trucks in
civilian life, will emerge from
the hospitals as typists, offering
drastic changes in their oCcupa-
tional potentialities.
When the primary purpose of
such therapy is to provide the
war wounded patients with self
confidence, the results have far
exceeded the original motive,
hospital attendants reported.
TIPPING OPENS FIELDS
In the typewriting group more
than 100 patients have learned
the keyboard and have become
moderately fast typists since the
class began three months ago.
One patient, with head injury
which paralyzed his side, is
learning to type to regain the
use of his hand.
But the majority have express
sed the desire TO make tipping
an integral part of their postwar
work. And so it is in the other
fields.
In the radio repair class only
one patient in a group Of 80 had
had any previous technical radio
experience. Now the entire
class can take set apart, re-
pair it and even build their own
sets. Several Of the men plan
to abandon their previous occu-
pations and open up repair
shops.
AID FROM EXPERTS
Civil service and companies
with foreign holdings are as
sured trained veterans with
new-found skills in foreign lang
uages or advanced mathematics
through these classes.
To top off the group instruc-
ton, individual help is given by
members of the Hollywood writ
ers mobilization to veterans in
terested in a writing career,
while a group Of talented and
famous artists are instructing in
sketching, painting and draw
ing.
These are just a few Of the
classes, which include a variety
of subjects and trades, such as
theatrical makeup, radio script
writing, airport management,
voice instruction, aircraft assem-
bly, and construction, and modi-
fled engineering.

which 48,121 were vacant. OF
the total, 23,095 were in unin-
corporated areas; 6,566 in the "a
villages, and 1880 in the three
cities of the county. Thus 80
per cent Of the delinquent par
cells were vacant properties re-
presenting SO per cent of the to-
tai delinquent taxes.
In order TO preserve credit OF
municipalities, prevent unwise
investment of public money in
unnecessary improvements and
TO protect builders of small
homes, the association recon-
mends:
IMPROVEMENTS BEFORE
SALE
municipalities and rural
areas should foreclose now all
properties with accumulated tax
delirquencies, such properties
to be held for guidance of future
growth and prevention of un-
necessary investment in i'm
provements.
2-Require all subdividers to
record plots and install all nee
esary public improvements be-
fore the plots are accepted and
lots offered for sale.
3-All lots approved by plan
ming authorities with power to
protect the public interest.
4-Municipal authority to con-
troll subdivision and building
within reasonable distance out
side the city limits, subject to
state zoning laws.
5-Preparation Of construc-
ton of undesirable homes in
suburban and rural areas by a
minimum standards where mu-
nicipal codes are not effective.
6-When an area requests spe-
cial improvements, the city
should examine the tax records
to determine whether the pro-
perty to be assessed has a his
tory of tax payments which in
dicates it is willing and able to
pay new special assessments.
