100000 Credit
To Turkey Disclosed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Export Import Bank has ex-
tended a s3,060o00 credit to Turkey
to purchase airport equipment in the
United States, it disclosed yesterday.
Richard johnson, public relations
officer for the bank, said the credit
was made available last September
IL, but was not announced at that
time. Turkey has not yet drawn on
it. The interest rate was 4 per cent.
Mr.. johnson said the $3,060, 900
credit apparently was the one re-
ferred to in press reports from An
kara. These reports said the United
States would grant Turkey a loan
Of S4,250,000 alta per cent.
The credit for Turkey was actual
ly three-way transaction, involv-
ing the Westinghouse Electric Cor
poration, Mr.. Johnson explained,
and the difference in the two sums
might represent credit which the
American firm had agree to advance
Turkey privately.
Turkey will purchase the airport
equipment from the Westinghouse
Corp, whose representatives have
been discussing details of the trans
action in Ankara recently, Mr.. john
son said.

Children are the greatest movie

of this was the note in a recent is

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLY WOOD.
Are Hollywood movies forgetting
their responsibility to the children
of the world?
In their mad drive for box office
records, are producers formulating
plots that turn the pliable minds of
juveniles toward evil ways?
You can hear the accusing answer,
"Yes!" from every reform element
outside the motion picture industry,
but now one of the leaders of the
Icelluloid BUSINESSMAN ace director
with many fine productions to his
dit-riSes to shake a warning
finger at his colleagues.
This startling castigation comes
from Edward H. Grifith, producer
and director, who declares that
children are today's most neglected
moviegoers." Griffith points out that
movies are the chief entertainment
Iof children everywhere, yet, with
rare exceptions, few are designed to
appeal to them.
Hollywood, almost exclusively.
makes pictures for the worldwide
adult market" said Grifith. Even
cartoons have become too sophisti-
Gated for child audiences. In many
quarters, motion pictures are being
blamed for the rising incidence of
Juvenile delinquency. This is bru-
tai indictment, yet it is true because
children are highly imaginative and
much of the know of living is OBJ
tanned by observance.
Their thought, behavior, even
their posture, is often influenced or
modelled after those they admire
Therefore, it stands to reason, that
when they see their idols on the
Screen-people who are set forth as
models of heroism, generosity, no
ollity, OF beauty and charm-indulg-
ing, say, in alcoholic sprees, they are
apt to believe that excessive drink
ing is the proper thing to do.
Films portraying alcoholic excess
and smoking and fits of temper con-
dition children mentally and physi-
cally toward approval of such vices
I'm not using the word in the puri-
tanical sense-and I most certainly
don't think films should preach +;
yet it is possible that children could
suffer unconscious contagion from
specific films. A vice initially repel-
lent, if encountered habitually, will
first be tolerated, then probably, in

Army Fails in Plan

at the meeting of the Federation Of

DR.. Curtis told the meeting hi.

He said he was told:
Then We'll buy up the printed

They were not bought up, but
were circulated in the program
which is a large book, containing
more than 1000 similar advance alb
stracts. Thousands of the books
were mailed to scientists and news.

DR.. Curtis in reporting yesterday
that he could not read his full
paper said:
Il think this is an example of the
sort of suppression of scientific in.
formation that we may look for un.
less the scientific work is placed un-
der civilian control"
1n Washington, the War De-
partment had no comment on
reports the paper had been sup
pressed)
New Hazards Presented.
The abstract states that slow
neutrons react with various atoms
in living tissues. Some of these re-
actions cause the tissues to emit
radioactive rays. At the same time
a lot of new atoms are formed from
some common tissue atoms. These
new atoms are radioactive and con-
tinue to give off rays long after the
neutron rays have ceased.
The principal new atoms are phos-
phorus, sodium Gin the salt in the
body, potassium and chlorine (also
in the salt). Experiments on mice
showed that some, but not all, of the
newly created radioactive atoms
are excreted from the body. About
one-third of the phosphorus, for ex-
ample, was apparently never excret-
ed. Bones are rich in phosphorus.
These slow neutrons are hazard
in the new industry that transmutes
one metal into a different kind of
metal. At present this work Is con-
fined to military use, but there are
future possibilities of making trans
muted metals for something besides
bombs.

BILL SEEBECk, lately of
603 Forty sixth place Sc, has
found that a "civilian" job
in the Army pays him more
than he can earn elsewhere
1t happened in this way
Five years before Pearl Har-
Dor, as a l9-ycar old Atlanta
high school graduate. William
J. Secbeck joined the Regular
Army.
For three years he was a
foot soldier in the 28th Regi-
ment, lSt Division, at Fort
Niagara. On December 9.
1899, he completed his original
term of enlistment Of 3 years
and received an honorable
discharge as private first
class. He spent a month look
ing for a suitable job.
BY the following February
Bill had Joined up for a sec
Ond hitch of three years.
This time he chose the air
corps and after passing
competitive test in mathe-
MATES and other subjects he
was taught his first real
"civilian" trade. that of an
aircraft mechanic.
With the onslaught of war
Bill, by then a Second-clasS
air mechanic equivalent to
staff sergeant in pay, was
stationed in the Caribbean
area, where he stayed until
February 10, 1914. Then, as
staff sergeant, he returned
to the States for reaSSign-
mcnt to the Sd Air Corps. On
September 7. l945, like thou
sands of others, Bill was
handed his honorable dis
charge. He was civilian
again, with two hash" marks
for six years service, six bars
for overseas service in Cen
trail and South Amcrica-and
no job.
After 10 days of looking for
work he became a service
mechanic at $43 week at
the Atlanta Municipal Air
port
Single, with no dependents,
Bill managed to get along
fairly we'll on his income, but
like all practical men he be-
gan to take stock of his finan-
clal situation and eyed his
future as a civilian. Incvit-
ably, the Army was drawn on
for comparisons.
Bill discovered that even
though he had been out of

long experience as an airplane
technician would entitle him
to rc-enlist in his grade at a
base salary of S96 per month,
plus longevity of $500 for a
total of $l05 60, His eligibility
for flying pay as an aerial
engineer could net him SO per
cent of his base pay. His
cash earning, therefore, would
be Sl53 60.
Service benefits in the form
of food and quarters, at the
most modest estimate, he
valued at $40 per month lthis
is what he paid for room
and two meals day.. AS a
soldier, he would. SO far, be
making $l93 60 per month.
Uniformed. he would be
issued clothing representing a
value of we'll over $l00. With
free replacement OF worn
articles he could see that the
minimum benefit in clothing
would be $40 a month. Then
medical and dental care
would raise the total of his
cash earnings and other ben
etits over the $500 mark, with
no Withholding or income
tax
He compared that sum to
his civilian pay, on which ne
paid income and other taxes
amounting to about % per
cent

friends and companions by
the thousands, fun at service
clubs. rail fares at half price

Blll realize that the Army,
after all, had been a good life
for him

hours to get back into uni

story and it illustrates what
the Army Recruiting Service
is running into every day.
