WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 -U.D =
Sterilization Director John +.
Steelman told the President and
the nation Thursday that the start
of the second year Of peace finds
the national economy Gin a position
of great promise, and OF great
danger"
Business profits. employment. in
come payments, farm income, in
dustrial and farm production all
are up, he said. Or the reverse
side, real wages have decreased,
prices are up, production of key
materials is tagging, and freight
transportation is a major problem.
The report was the eighth from
the office of the director OF war
mobilization and reconversion. 1t
was compounded eqnually OF hope
and caution.
Our position is n of promise"
he said, because we have an op-
portunity to move forward to high
er levels of real income than any
other nation ever has achieved. We
have a chance 10 maintain high
levels of employment for extended
periods, and to progress toward
higher levels of production and a
ste adi1y rising living standard"
But, he said. there is IAN acute
threat - the danger that we will
be unable to shift from the pres
ent situation, where demand ex-
ceeds supply, to one where demand
and supply are in approximate
balance without falling to a point
of equilibrium on a far lower
level of production than we now
have" .
Achievement of a balance will
be most difficult if there is a fur

Mrs. Rogers TO Push
Bill 10 Give Veterans
Housing Preference

Representative Rogers, Republic
can, Of Massachusetts, planned today
to push for action on legislation to
give veterans preference in acquisi-
ton of housing as we'll as all other
Government surpluses, here and
elsewhere over the country.
In speech yesterday to the
House she protested that the
Amvets had been unsuccessful in
attempts to buy Mclean Gardens
up for sale by the Government, and
added that the veterans were being
neglected in many respects.
The veterans, she declared, should
have the opportunity to purchase
Mclean Gardens if they wish and
If the Government will not act, the
Congress should.
Indorsing the statement on vet
erans' preference published by Mrs
Evalyn Walsh Mclean. former
owner of the Friendship site of the
development, Mrs Rogers declared
the veterans are tired of lip serv-
ice."
When the war was on the veterans
had priority over everything, out
now, she said, big business
steps in.
Why is this allowed to happen?'
she asked. why can't our vet
Grams have chance to buy safe ano
solid homes which are already
built? Why must our Government
owned houses like Mclean Gardens
Naylor Gardens, and others, be
denied our war veterans.
why must these same lads live
in wretched, cheap little houses, il
they can find them, when the Gov.
ernment has houses already bull
that should be made available tc
them?"
She expressed the belief there
are persons now living in Fedora
housing projects whose income !,
more than that which is supposed Il
entitle one to the rental of Gov.
eminent housing.

intendent of schools has advised

revising qualifications for normal

The Rules Committee met yester-
day to study proposed requirement
that associate and full professors al
Wilson and Miners Teachers Col
leges must have a doctors degree
The associate professor is a new po-
sition and the full professors here
tofore have been required to have
only masters degrees.
DR.. Robert A. Maurer, vice presi-
dent of the board, queried Mr.. Hay
cock on long-standing require
ment of three years of actual teach
ing experience. Under no circum-
stances should this condition be re-
moved, Mr.. Haycock replied.
I'VE can get lots OF PhD's," Mr.
Haycock said. But it takes a good
teacher to show other people how tc
teach.
The Rules Committee will recon-
mend the Phi. D. requirement to the
full board meeting tomorrow. The
committee also will recommend that
married teachers can return to work
two months after their babies are
born instead of the present limita-
ton of nine months, and that school,
matrons hereafter must be graduate
nurses.
