then Johnnie exerts himself little

should he take Johnnie out of the

War Trophies Made Available
To Communities by New Plan

Thousands Of public squares In
America soon should begin to sprout
with tanks. guns and planes cap
tured from Axis enemies or dis
carded by our own Army under new
regulations governing their distribu-
ton on fair and equitable" basis
Army officials disclosed today the
new regulations supersede the rules
under which the Ordnance Depart
ment last fall started distributing
1000 obsolete American weapons
valued At more than SO, 900 900. In
this lot were some 1900 big guns and
howitzers-most Of which are likely
to be strapped for metal unless pa
triotic communities take them oil
the Army's hands.
Under the new procedure, worked
out in accordance with recent con-
gressional authority, first choice of
war trophies will be given Federal
agencies. That covers wide field
including grounds of Federal build
ings throughout the country. SOL
diers' homes, national cemeteries
parks and museums.
Second priority. it was said, Is
given to organizations, societies and
individuals who, before July Is, con-
tributed trophies or war devices
from previous wars for scrap ma

similar articles for replacement. de-

Bradley Defends Cut
In Work-Iraining Pay
Allowed 10 Veterans

Veterans Administrator Bradley
assured veterans and honest en-
ployers" last night that tighter Fed
eral control of on-the-job training
will allow them to enter the pro-
gram without fear of scandal" and
at the same time halt "a million
dollar scheme for legal but phony
training"
Gen. Bradley reviewed the recent
amendments to veterans legislation
in an address as guest speaker on
the Drew Pearson radio program.
The extensive training program
training in name only" was re-
vised "st our special request" the
administrator said. Some employers
used the program for cheap labor
schemes while the taxpayer footed
the difference and in other in
stances high-priced executives en-
rolled themselves for training
sometimes for the presidents job"
he said.
New Law Held Necessary.
The new law limiting subsistence
payments and wages to 5000 for
married veterans and SITS for single
men will keep the program from
being made simply good thing"
he predicted.
At the same time. he warned that
States, charged with approving and
administering the programs, must
abide by national standards, while
they in turn will be reimbursed for
costs of the administration.
"A few chiselers do not mean the
program is no good" he said. But
If allowed to continue, they might
undo its intent and penalize vet
Grams who really need that training.
With that in mind. we had to clean
1t out and keep veterans training
safe for those who play it fair.
Intent of all the legislation is to
get veterans off TO a solid peace
time start" he declared.
But veterans must prove they
want most to become useful, job
holding citizens and that the only
help they want Is the chance to
build their future soundly," he
added
Life Insurance Urged.
The general particularly urged
veterans to consider liberalized pro-
visions of national" service life in
surance in an attempt to put the
policies on a par with commercial
insurance. The new law provides
lump sum payments, no restrictions
on choice of beneficiaries and new
endowment policies. Methods of

lotu of Doubt

In his statement yesterday ex-
planning the course he intends to
follow in respect to the Mead Com
mlttee subpoena Representative
May said that There is not and
never has been an iota of doubt
about my desiring opportunity to
reply fully to innuendos. insinus-
tions. deductions and the like which
have resulted from the hearings
before the Mead Committee -"
There has been and there remains
considerably more than an iota of
doubt as to why Mr.. May did not
knock the committee room door
down, if need be, to insist on coming
before the Mead Committee as soon
as his name was brought into this
case, in order to take the stand and
clear himself of the natural results
OF innuendos, insinuations, deduc-
tions and the like Other busy
legislators whose names have been
mentioned in the inquiry have not
been too busy to come to the com
mittee.
Mr.. Mays reasons for not doing so
tax the credulity Of the public. The
longer he delays this appearance
the more conditions he imposes
regarding the manner in which he
will testify, the more ominous be-
comes the doubt.

The Proof in the PUDDING

A great deal of study has gone
Into the slum clearance and urban
redevelopment bill, approved by
such an overwhelming vote in the
House yesterday When its provi-
SONS are reconciled with the version
ot the same measure passed by the
Senate we shall have a law that
offers much hope for the successful
solution OF the problem of Wash
ington's blighted areas; more hope,
certainly, than any previous law has
made possible in the past.
This success will depend almost
entirely, however, upon the s,ls-
tained interest of private enterprise
In demonstrating, to the sa atiSfaction
Of the public, the main thesis upon
which the bill was written: That
private enterprise, given the oppor-
tunity OF acquiring urban property
assembled and purchased by pub
lie agency under the right of emf
nent domain, can do better and
less expensive Job of low-cost hous-
Ing or other development than q
public agency can do.
The danger is that the interest
manifested In this bill by private
enterprise will lapse and that private
builders in general will be more con-
cerned with meeting the tremendous
demand for housing-any housing
than in demonstrating the workable
ity Of the urban redevelopment plan.
Responsible leaders in the private
building industry should realize that
the bill not only provides opportu-
nifty in new field for the display of
private initiative but presents a
challenge which, if not accepted by
private enterprise, will be exploited
In full by advocates of public hous-
ing
Both the House and Senate YER
sions OF the bill are compromises,
snd the bill which finally reaches
the President will be another. It
doubtless contains defects which will
be more clearly revealed by expert
ence. As between the House and
Senate measures, however, the SEN
ste's definition of low-rent housing
Is 80 much more reasonable and
workab BILE that the House should be
willing to accept it, The House def
milton Is confusing and obviously
nnworkable, its purpose being to
close the door to all housing con-
struction by 4 public agency rather
than to seek fair definition of
what is meant by low-rent housing,

Stupid Subsidy

The subsidy device is only an eco
nomic crutcn and ought to be soan-
present there is color of sense in il
In one commodity alone however, the
subsidy is colossal ana insane steal
and that is silver.
The small but potent Senate silver
block, which bottled up the Nations
supply of the metal for 10 months when
it was urgently needed for war indus
try, Is now attempting to force an arti-
fetal price Of 81 20 an ounce by means of
Treasury purchases This would do
nothing that any of the other subsidies
are intended to do 1t would prevent
rather than assist veterans to furnish
their homes. 1t would not increase =
short supply 1t would foster imitation
rather than stabilize prices It would
assist no one but 4 hs ndfuI OF mine own =

The silver purchase law is an eco
