NATIONWIDE PROBLEM
New York Times)

The adequate housing of millions of
American families constitute not only
grave social problem but is also a
challenge to private initiative In a
nation so technologically advanced in
many fields it is an anomaly that of the
countrys some 100000 housing units
in 1910, approximately 100000 lacked
running water and 100000 had no
electricity. Henry Kaiser has announced
the formation of corporation to build
complete communities He plans to
streamline construction methods in pro-
ducing some 10000 homes this year. The
plan emissions two and three bedroom
homes on large Handicapped lots at less
than $4,000 home.
The problem of adequate housing is
closely linked with family income, plus
typical American aversion to communi-
ties OF boX-llke homes that have hereto
lore been the frequent result of factory
manufacture. Mr.. KaiserS corporation
will avoid the latter. There is little
question that modern science and skill
planning can produce and sell $4,000
home at profit if the operation is large
enough to use to advantage what has
been learned about manufacturing in re-
cent years. The demand for new homes
will be one of the bulwarks of postwar
prosperity. WPB and MIA have relaxed
restrictions so that at least 25O,OOO new
dwellings may be built in the next twelve
months.
The problem on national scale, how
ever is to provide decent living accom-
modations for the lowest fifth of the in
come bracket Before the war some 3d.
100000 American families had an income
of $4,000 or less, according to the census
of 1940 The home that is economically
justifiable for the S25O0 to $500 income
is not possible for the family with a
$500 income. AS national policy it is
long past the time when we should agree
that slum areas, urban and rural, be
abolished. 1t will probably be necessary
for time that federal and state moneys
be used to aid this purpose 1t is not too
much to hope, however, in the coming age
of new materials and new methods that
pleasant homes of $4,000 value be avail
able for those whose income is low HUI.
man beings are entitled to live in a de-.
cent environment, and good housing is an
integral phase of national welfare

SURGERY PREPAID
pathfinder Magazine)

Minnesota forestalled federal-imposed
"socialized medicine" by providing its
own form of medical insurance.
A new state law provides for 21 doc
tors to set up corporation offering sur
gical and obstetrical treatment for a low
prepaid fee, possibly 81 month, with
full medical care after the plan develops
The service is aimed at low-income fam
lilies earning up to $2500 to $4,000 year
The plan is this: Each of Minnesota's s
nine medical districts will recommend
two doctors for the corporation. The state
medical association will pick three at
large. The doctors themselves will sup
ply the capital-S25, 900. There will be
no stock sold, no attempt to make profits
The act does not provide for hospitali-
zation.
Laymen and co-operatives now are ex-
pected to fight for right to Sc. UP similar
corporations.
The plan, developed by Dr. A. w. Ad-
son of the Mayo Clinic, is backed by the
Minnesota State Medical association.

GENERALS RETURN;
EYES ON PACIFIC

Three generals who helped bring Ger
many to her knees are back home. 1t is
safe to guess they will tarry only briefly,
and then set about to help complete the
defeat of Japan.
General George S. Patton, Jr., who
fought in Africa and Italy and then led
the central army on the west in it's smash
ing blows on Germany will visit his Cali
fornia haunts. Imperial Valley would
welcome the doughty desert fighter, to
revisit the place where he jumped into
prominence while training men for the
desert trails overseas.
Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, leader. of the
spectacular air bombing crews that gave
Tokyo its first taste of what is now her
doom, is home. No doubt he will chafe
and fret till he heads back to Tokyo
Gen. Mark Clark, he of the long, hard
Italian campaign has flown back home.
AS far as known, none has been back
since they started for Berlin.
1t sounds like extra bad news for the
Japs.

Chiong Gives Up
Premier's Post

CHUNGKING, May 81 CUPD-
Generalissimo Chang Kia-Shek re-
signed as premier OF China Thurs
day, but retained his concurrent
post of president.
Reliable sources said a penary
session of the Kuomintang's central
executive committee appointed t.
V. Soong. Chiang's brother-i -in-law.
as premier-a post officially known
as president of the executive Yuan.
Soong had been acting premier
since last December, when Chang
turned from political problems to
urgent military matters, inclusing a
japanese drive toward Chungking
The plenary session also accepted
the resignation of DR.. H. H. Kung,
another brother-in-law of Chang.
as vice-premier-vice president of
the executive Yuan-and named
Wong Wen-hao, economic minister
and chairman of the war produc-
ton board, to succeed him.
A Washington dispatch said DR..
Kung resigned because poor health
prevented him from returning to

in the Chinese government. Chang

HEAVIER STORM CLOUDS
GATHER OVER JAPAN

1t hardly is conceivable that the war
lords of Japan are not aware of the tre-
mendous increase in the air power of the
United States or that they can further
indulge themselves in the insane belief
that they can win the war.
The recent devastating blows struck
from the air on Tokyo and her next door
neighbor, the city of Yokohama, should
be last warning of the impending de-
Struction of war plants and the wiping
out of the cities themselves.
1t is evident that the military leaders
at Tokyo have overlooked or refused to
admit another and more vital factor in
the air attacks 1t is that we have revo-
lutionized our flying equipment since
Pearl Harbor At that time the Jap Zero
plane admittedly was superior to some
of our plane designs. But not so with our
aerial fights. Japan has made still
greater mistake in considering air attacks
by failure to recognize our conquering of
distances by seizing island after island
air base
On top of that is the fact that in the
last year we have added 100 miles an
hour to the speed of our most powerful
fighting planes. Some types now can
fly 500 miles an hour which brings
hitherto impossible bases within easy at
tack distance from all Japan. We have
doubled the effective range of our combat
planes, while the armor has been tripled
in fighting strength
On the finishing ways of our great
plane building plants are still more
powerful types-more powerful in speed,
sights, armor and with pilots trained far
beyond any degree Japan ever dreamed
of in her own aerial forces
The armed might of all three Of our
services is concentrating now on the job
of complete destruction. Army, navy and
marine fliers now have joined. Already
more planes and greater bomb loads
have visited Tokyo than ever struck Ber-
lin in single raid. Last year the navy
and marine fliers made 144,800 combat
sorties against various areas of Japan.
Bombs dropped in 1914 quadrupled the
1943 attacks, $4,000 tons compared to
$4,000 TONS
And finally, Hirohito's advisers forget
that the home islands presents a nest of
targets. The Empires cities are only
few "air miles" apart. So close, in fact
are the great centers that one of our
fastest planes we'll might drop bombs on
all these cities in a single flight.
We are taking to the Pacific war the
experience gained in Europe. Tokyo has
a plain lesson from what happened to
the Reich.
Her choice is unconditional surrender
now or total destruction.

CITES REAL WORRIES

Watts said the forest service was
less worried about this japanese
balloon attack than we are with
matches and smokes in the hands
CT good Americans hiking and camp
ing in the woods
Revealing hitherto undisclosed
details of how the balloon bombs
are rugged to fly the Pacific and
drop their bombs on the U. S.,
Watts said they made the trip in
the stratosphere by means of an
ingenious arrangement Of weights
and barometric pressure switches.
He said they crossed the Pacific
in three and one-half to five days,
travelling at a speed up to 125 miles
an hour in a layer of air constantly
moving from west to east at an
altitude of between $4,000 and $4,000
feet.
He described them as hydrogen
filled bags made of five layers Of

A bill authorizing S30,O00,000 bond
