 the company Publication of the fact that certain tav ored wives daughters other fair relatives of highly placed officials received tokens in the way of $20O0 diamond bracelets while other sponsors were presented with lesser baubes ranging down to $l5 silver pins IS positively not conducive to the better varieties o good will tradtonay sought to be spread by the average public relations man. This the kind of publicity which pleases either the less fortunate sponsors the board of directors of the company.
 The list shows that some shipbuilders were far more lavish than others in their gifts that the cost of gifts seemed in instances to be scaled acord- ing to the prominence of the sponsor her husband (many of the good ladies doubt will take excep- ton to the rating apparently impled-another head ache for the public relations boys that size of ship seemed to have no bearing on gift outlay and that while Rosie the Riveter and Winnie the Welder oc- casionally won the right to crash bottle of cham pagne against the bow of ship, no record can be found of diamond bracelets being placed on their sturdy wrists after the ceremonies.
 The christening of ships and the fetng of sponsors are hallowed by tradition The public undoubtedly accepts the practice colorfu ritual symbolizing pride of craftsmanship and stimulating production The taxpayers have right to know however, whether the of the diamond bracelets, silver tea sets and other nordinaely expensive gifts to select class of sponsors was charged-directy indrectly-against the public treasury out of the profits of the shipbuiders This is point which has not yet been made clear in every and which is worth further delving by the Senate committee.

UN BUDGET PLAN ES ATTACKED BY
 SEN. VANDENBERG
By HARRY HAUCK

LAKE SUCCESS, N Y, Nov. 2 Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg CR-Mich) today sharply attacked the proposed United Nations bud getary plans with the flat asser- tion that the United States was not ready to pay 50 percent of the administrative costs as suggested.
 Vandenberg, United States Delegate to the LIN, leveled his broadside at the whole financial setup as the General Assembly split up into 51-nation committees to begin the talk of debating more than 50 items on crowded agenda.
 Coupling his stand with a strong appeal for economy, Vandenberg told the Financial Committee that the United States felt that the capacity-to-pay yardstick advanced by the LIN as a sole basis for assessments to be inadequate and unreliable"
 "The United States is unable to accept the flattering concept that its economic system is so good that it gives five percent of the people of the world control of 50 percent of the earning capacity of the world" he said If our econ- omic system is that good we might suggest that the other United Ma tions adopt it.

OTHERS HAVE TROUBLES, TOO

MlIllmg over the housing shortage, and reading the estimates of how many new dwellings are neeoed in this country Americans likely to feel very sorry for themselves And it is staggering problem But 1t would be well to remember that our position IS very much more favorable than that of any other major belgerent of World War II.
 Britain and France and Russia, and all the lesser nations of Europe involved in the war have our problem but in addition they the added shortages resulting from their longer participation in which means longer period of prohibitions on home con- structon And on top of that they lost vast numbers of dwellings by air bombardment other military operations
 In Great Britain, for example 46000O dwellings were destroyed or seriously damaged during the Fully l5OOOO0 families living doubled up. Not less than 75OOO0 dwellings are needed, just to give each family home, without tacklng the problem of sums not really fit for habitation Yet in the last year and a half only 72,000 new homes have been built two-thirds of them temporary shelters
 Against this record take some comfort in the fact that 35ooOO houses have been completed in the United States in the first eight months of l946 Materials are scarce here. But they are much more scarce in any country of Europe.
 And what are we to say of the Soviet Union, where it is estimated that 100000 houses were either de- sroyed damaged to need major repairs in the Ukraine alone There is complaint in the United States that we taking such drastic measures te get more housing under way, such as diverting materials for nonhousng construction. But again il is worth while to make comparisons. In Czecho- sovakia citizens going to be obliged to pay 20 per cent of their incomes for rent If their actua rents are less in most they are the difference goes into fund to subsidize dwellings built at present high costs
 In housing as in food and clothing and nearly everything else, we are much better off than either our recent Allies or our enemies overseas.

COSTS OF PLAYING WITH FIRE

Not long after man began using fire to warm himself and make his food more palaable he realized that he was dealing with unruly servant. Playing with fire became synonymous with folly It is still just that as anybody may from statistics prepared by the Actuarial of the National Board of Fire Underwriters the basis of involving payment of claims ten-year period, the bureau has con- cuded that 6458 per cent of fires in the United States can be attributed directly careesness says that 2944 per cent of all fires due to lack of in the of matches and in smoking that 2365 per cent result from improperly cleaned tended heating and cooking installations and from carelessneSs in their use that 40 per cent result from carelessness in using kerosene lamps, candles and other open lights and in handling inflammabe fluids.
 There are other of fires in which lessness may be factor-it certainly shows lack of care not to replace promptly electrical cord 1r repair socket known to be functoning improperly But application of the percentage of more direct to fire losses in 946 shows that the bill for the first eight months of this year S2441 400 This of course, is only beginning To it must be ldded time lost from work when a home or business property is destroyed, medical expense to those who nay have been injured It is impossible to place any dollars and value the contribution that might nave been made to the nations economy by those killed with fire is an extremely costly business.

WEALTH VS. LABOR

Some people have asked why l have focused attention on the large amounts Of cash thrown in- to election districts by COP lead CT Joe Pew, the big Pennsylvania oil man. Isn't the money spent by PAC, they ask, just as bad?
 The answer is. l. It was tre- mendous amounts of cash spent by the Melons, the Pews, the Rocke- fellers, ct al, which finally inspired labor unions to get into political campaigns themselves. Labor didn't originate the idea ?. While large amounts of money in any campaign are bad, it's only lair to show what both sides are doing
 In regard to this, few people have the time and money to check on large personal campaign con- tributions. To go over the long list of names filed in various state campaigns and with the Clerk of the House of Representatives takes days of stenographic work. It's al- so difficult job to trace the rela- tives and in-laWs of all the fam flies who contribute The individual voter simply cannot do it.
 The last time this column did it, however 4940), the results were amazing. The duPont family was shown to be contributing the grand total of S106,7 ,730 to the Republi- can party. The Hatch Act. of course, makes it illegal for one individual to contribute more than

 BOYS ARE GUILTY,
 MURDER CHARGES

YUBA CITY, Calf, Nov. PA jury of five women and seven men today convicted Billy Anderson. Is. and Nathern James, 15, on two counts of murder in the first degree in the September slayings of And erson's father and step-mother.
 The jury was out for exactly one hour and took but two ballots. On the first, two jurors held out for murder in the second degree, but changed their decision on the sec ond ballot.
 The verdict was that each boy was guilty of murder in the first degree and was found to be under Is years of age"
 Judge Arthur Coats, hearing the case in the Sutter County Superior Court, had instructed the jury to enter the age reference in the ver- dict so as to determine whether the boy would go to San Quentin or to the youth authority.

 The powerful Pennsylvania Pew family, which operates Sun Oil, the Sun Ship Company, the Path finder, The Farm Journal and various other trade publications, donated the huge total of $1O8,525; the Alfred P Sloan family of Gen eral Motors put up $36,000; the wealthy Widener family of Phila- delphia gave s24,750; the Queeny family of St. Louis, which oper- ates Monsanto Chemical, dug up S42,375; while the Pitcairn family of Pennsylvania which manufac- lures auto-giros, sweetened the Re- publican kitty with $29,l14.7l.
 All in all. about ten powerful Republican families tossed in about $l 100000. And you can take your pick as to whether it's healthier to have ten families dominate one party or to have S1 contributions from about 2O,OoO,OO0 families in organized labor dominate the oth- CT

BIG MONEY IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Congressman Karl Mundt, South Dakota Republican, was speaking before an AVG group in Huron, s.

Mundt was asked specifically about references to Pew and duPont contributions previously reported in this column.
 Sometimes Drew Pearson tells the truth" the Congressman told the veterans, and sometimes he doesn't tell the truth. President Roosevelt called him a chronic liar, but I don't think he is quite that bad
