AFTERTHOUGHTS confirm a

adopted their enticing name out
of respect TO the songs they sing,
rather than in reference TO any
other qualifications they might
possess.

cerity. your vote FOR will cost
you no more" Smith commented.
The program proposed for the
City of Dayton was explained by
Herbert w. Starick, director of the
City Plan Board, who described it
as meeting "only the essential
needs of the city,"
The suggested county, city, and
school improvements included in
the DDDC program, upon which
the voters will take action Novem-
Der 6, were enumerated as follows:
For Montgomery County-New
juvenile court and detention home
facilities; new county court house;
addition to Saltwater Sanatorium
for tubercular patients.
For City of Dayton-Two new
bridges-one connecting Patterson
Boulevard with an extension of
Riverside Drive and the other con-
Meeting west First Street with
Salem Avenue-and repairs on four
existing bridges; street openings
and widenings; park, playground,
and community center additions;
street and sewer improvements;
safety department building for city
courts and Jail; new, fire stations
and equipment; traffic signal sys-
tenn improvements; municipal air.
port development.
For Dayton Schools-New voca-
tional high school; repairs and ad-
ditions to existing buildings and
Fairgrounds; new public library
buildings (the Dayton public lib
rary operates under supervision of
the Dayton Board of Education).
Slogan in the improvement pro-
gram information drive is "For
Jobs and Progress" This slogan
was amplified at the DDDC meet
ing by the explanation that adop-
ton of the improvement proposals
will mean: (1) jobs for returned
servicemen and displaced war work
ers at time when they may need
them most; ~ vitally needed i'm
provements for city, county, and
schools, which have been long de-
layed, first because of the depres-
sion, and later because of the war.
A group of speakers has been
organized to carry full information
on the program to organized groups
throughout the city and county.
-
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-09-21

The meeting marked the opening
of a concerted effort on the part Of
the DDDC to give full information
about the proposed improvements
and how they can be financed, to
every voter in the city and county
before the election on November 6.
First showing of the sound
movie, Greater Dayton" was a
feature of the meeting. This film,
which was photographed in this
community, shows some of the ex-
listing undesirable conditions of
bridges, streets, Fairgrounds, and
city and county buildings. 1t also
points out some of the major i'm
provements which are included in
the DDDC program.
Col. E. A. Deeds, general chair
man of the DDDC, who presided,
explained the background of the
DDDC organization. He also dis
cussed the present economic status
and the future financial prospects
of the county, city, and school dis
trist, pointing out the fact that all
are in an unusually sound financial
condition.
The Dayton District Development
Committee, it was explained, is a
non-partisan, non-sectarian, and
non-racial group of citizens, repre-
senting a cross-section of Dayton
and Montgomery County.
Discussion at the m t in G
brought out the fact that the total
city, county, and school bonded debt
has been cut from s40,00O,000 to
s20,000,000 during the last five
years years and that it will be down
to S5,0O0,0O0 in four more years.
Richard H. Smith, director for
the DDDC advisory committee on
the improvement program, stressed
the fact that one result of the pas
sage of the program will be to put
the county, city, and school district
completely on pay-as-you-go
basis at the end Of the ten-year
period, which will be required for
the completion Of the suggested
program. He said that a continual
ton of operating levies after the
ten-year period will provide enough
money for additional capital i'm
provements as well as for operating
and maintenance expense, without
issuance Of more bonds. This, he
said, is assuming no unforeseen
catastrophe occurs.
Speakers at the meeting ex-
planned that the property owners of
Dayton paid an average tax rate of
s21.72 per $1,000 valuation from
1941 to 1945, inclusive. With the
adoption of the complete improve
ment program, they pointed out,
the average tax rate for the next
five years will not exceed $21.70
per actually &c less than
the previous five-year average. The
fiscal officers of the city, county,
and school district have certified
that the estimated tax rate of
s21.7O will be sufficient.

US. 7oughens Attitude
Toward Argentine Rule

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-R)-
United States policy toward Argen
tina toughened suddenly today, g
move signalized by replacement Of
Nelson Rockefeller as assistant
secretary of state for American
Republic Affairs with Spruille Bar
den.
Rockefeller has worked ever
since he joined the State Depart.
ment last December for a friendly,
kid glove approach to the Argen'
tine problem. Braden, as ambas-
sador to Argentina, since that gov
eminent was reorganized in April,
has consistently appealed to the
Argentine people over the heads
of their government leaders to sup
port the Allied cause and demo
cratic policies.
The shift restores this govern
ment's attitude on Argentina about
to the point it had reached under
former Secretary Of State Hull last
fall before Hull resigned. 1t was
made by President Truman at the
insistence of Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes.
Hull had prevented the United
States from recognizing the Argen-
tine regime of President Farrell
on the ground that it had given
aid and comfort to the Axis cause
during the war. Hull summarized
his policy as a kind of cold
shoulder approach which he hoped

The plants have been in produce
ton but under government control.
The President said they must be
given back to their owners las
soon as practicable.
The date of the return will be
decided by the federal officer or
agency in charge of each plant or
facility.
But this didn't mean a complete
hands-off policy when the govern
ment thinks - for one reason or
another - that even now, plant
is interfering with military activi-
ties or reconversion.
Railroad Not Affected
Only two nights ago Mr.. Truman
ordered seizure of the Illinois Cen.
trail railroad because a threatened
strike might have tied it up. The
railroad did not appear on a list of
properties named by the White
House as affected by the return
order.
The wartime seizure of private
plants caused some of the most
bitter home front protests of the
war against government action.
This was particularly true when
taken over and Sewell Avery,
chairman, was carried out of his
office to the street by troops. Seven
of his company's stores were taken
over.
