of typical early 18th Century

appearance Of the house in
which George Washington was
born. The living relic is Ananias

charge its obligations ON TIME.
There is no earthly reason why eth
er Congress or the chief executive
should allow one crisis after another
to hit the people. When there are
things to be done they should be done
on time and in good order.
Both Congress and the President
have been guilty of allowing matters
to rock along, as though some miracle
would occur to solve the problem in
hand. Well, miracles don't happen.
We need lot of craftsmanship and
courage, instead of fear and dawdl-
ing.
The voice of the people commands
respect, when that voice is heard in
sufficient volume and clarity. Let it
be heard now!
In every major crisis in the past
year there have been those in Con-
gress VINO nave played politics, seek
ing, not to benefit the people, but to
build up prejudices and fears that
might be translated into votes in the
next election.
There are politicians who never will
learn that the surest way to get votes
is to do those things that make for
the national welfare-the welfare of
the people.
To make for delays in such matters
as OPA and the big strikes should be
warrant enough for the defeat of a
Senator or Representative.

erican safety!

Newark First To Study
Big Picture OF City's
Economic Growth

Chicago (ILNS).-A municipal re-
search bureau to scientifically sur
vey "the big picture" of city housing
needs and industrial trends has just
been created in Newark, N j., accord
ing to the National Association of
Housing Officials.
Creation of the bureau was expe-
dited by the increasing need for "com-
plete and reliable information" on
trends in the housing market and re-
lated fields during the protracted re-
conversion period marked by rapid
changes in community development
and general economic conditions.
Fifteen thousand dollars has been
appropriated by the city to operate
the bureau during it's first year. So
far no other U. S. city has financed
similar bureau whose services will
be available to all interested groups
and individuals, including welfare
agencies, the city planning and hous-
ing boards, labor and management
organizations, building, investors and
utility companies.
The bureau will serve as a clearing
house for information furnished by
other municipal agencies and civic
groups. A research staff will compile
and interpret information on all fac
tors affecting economic growth Of the
Newark population trends, COM
munity facilities and taxation, with
special emphasis places on statistical
surveys to serve as bases for emer-
gency housing activities.

: CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes !
! profoundly, sometimes 8ippantIy. some
times recklessly. -.

Although the signs had been in the
air for days and days, the nation
really was doused with shocking cold
water when OPA was forced to fold
its tent because Congress had not
acted in time The nation took the
jolt as if there had been no warn
ing.
Actually, the demise of OPA was
a curtain raiser for Bikini
The point now is this: Why do
such matters have to be dribbled
along to the last minute of the
last hour?
In the matter of OPA we have a
repetition of what happened in the
railroad strike In that case the first
steps were taken by the union fully
nine months before the crisis. 1t took
government all that time to find out
that something desperate had to be
done.
What length of time shall we now
fix as the period of CESSATION for a
crisis?
One thing ought to be made clear
to government by the people:
II government is going to assume
responsibility, government must dis

AFL Atom Workers
Form Own Council

Atlanta.-A coordinated council
representing all AFL international
unions has been organized at Oak
Ridge, base Of atomic bomb research
and development. AFL craft unions
engaged on the project were given
verbal recognition during the war
and agreed to waive the usual con-
tract requirements at the request of
the War Department because Of the
extreme secrecy concerning construc-
tion of the bomb.
The War Department now has re-
leased restrictions sufficiently to per-
nit an NLRB election among the
workers.
The election will be directed for the
