HOUSING HEADACHES
REVIEWED BY ROTARY

Housing Headaches" an article
by Robert Moses, New York City
commissioner of parks, that ap.
peared in the March edition of the
Rotarian magazine was reviewed
Tuesday by Oliver Void, the prin-
cipal speaker on the Rotary club
program. The authors conclusion
was that as far as the United States
is concerned the housing situation
has been overestimated and over
played. 1t is an emergency and a
long-range need which a combina-
ton of private enterprise and rea-
sonable government assistance can
meet without hysteria, buncombe
and extravaganza.
In America there has often been
o~vercrowding or vacancies, the
shifts often taking place rapidly.
Just now some former defense work
ers IRE going home, others like the
place where they have been work
ing and intend to stay there, and
there are others who do not vet
know what they will do. They add
to the confusion.
The speaker mentioned the writ
er's reference to slum rehabilitation
instead of razing, rebuilding of run
downs areas in larger cities rather
than decentralization, and the
amount of money available for de-
molition and new construction.
Commended was the U. S. gov
ernment's Federal Housing Auth
ority.
A warning was given against
schemes for overnight fine, new,
cheap houses, most of which rest
on theories of prefabrication. Pre-
fabrication is on its way, but is
no cure-all.
P. A. Johnston described some of
the headaches the building mater
ial dealers have. He followed Void
the program, which ended with
a slight review of labor and pre-
fabrication.

COOKE CITY ROAD To
OPEN SAME TIME AS
OTHERS SERVING PARK

Washington, D. c., March 49,
The Red Lodge-Cooke highway into
Yellowstone national park will be
opened at least as early as other
park entrance roads under terms
of an agreement reached here in
conferences between Representative
Wesley A. D'Ewart, Chairman Al
Winkler of the highway commission,
and park service officials.
Success of the new agreement for
snow removal and maintenance of
the roads depends upon congress
sional approval of park service ap-
preparations. Under it's terms,
Montana will maintain the first Is
miles of the road from Red Lodge
to the Montana line, and the park
service will take care of the re-
naming As miles.

St. Patrick Became
Symbol of Irishmen

On March II we honor st. Patrick,
the inspiration and the symbol of
the Irish Catholic spirit, that unique
blending of self and self-denial that
characterized the Irish.
. Patrick taught the Irish to be in
dividualistic without being selfish.
He gave them the warrant of in
dividualism in the Christian doc
trine of personality, which is the ba-
sis of mans freedom and rights.
Only God-given rights are inalien-
able, for what man gives man can
take away.
The Irish have clung, and cling,
to freedom for others as well as for
Laurel outlook., 1946-03-13

themselves, and they have never
known the ways of oppression and
tolerance save as unhappy victims.
Patrick taught that true love Of
self means also love of ones neigh
Dor, and the Irish roamed the world
to share their best possessions with
all, their faith and their spirit.
with the help of God" is an ex-
preston which might well enrich the
speech and inspire the minds of all
men in these days, for never be-
fore has the world so longed for
freedom, and never has the world so
needed the "help of God."-Cardinal
Francis ]. Spellman, DID.

SHIPS UNLOAD DECLARATION UNTIL FRIDAY BY RUSSIANS UNDER TRUCE lS AWAITED
Policy Toward Reich Ex- peeted 10 Be Given al
 Foreign Ministers Meet

PARIS, July 9.-The Foreign Ministers council, turning to the German question after finally breaking a four-day deadlock on the calling of a 21-nation peace conference, anxiously awaited today a promised important declaration of Russia's policy toward the Reich.
 The log-jam ended last night with the adoption of a French com- promise providing that only a few suggested rules of procedure be sent out with invitations to peace conference, scheduled to open July 29 in Luxembourg Palace.
 This was considered a victory for the United States and Britain, which had opposed Russian de- mands that the invitations be ac- companied by mandatory rules of procedure.
 Under the compromise, France was authorized to send out invita- tions to the nations which will draft peace treaties with Italy Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and Finland.
 The suggested rules of procedure were drafted this morning by the deputy ministers, and are slated to be ratified by the ministers this afternoon. The ministers then are scheduled to ratify their final agreements on Italian reparations thus clearing the slate for discus sion of the German question. Speculation on the nature of the important declaration" on Russia's policy toward Germany ran from one extreme to another. Some sources said Russia planned to of- fer to join Britain, France and the United States in establishing a central administrative organization within a federalized Germany Others said the Russians would de- nounce Britain and the United States for conducting secret nego- tiations behind the Soviet Unions back"
