URGENT:
Stopgap Hid

George Marshall, u. S. secretary
Of state, was trying his best to pile
up pressure for a special session Of
congress this autumn to finance i'm
mediate interim aid to keep Europe
on its feet until MarshalPS 20
billion-dollar, long-range rehabilita-
tion plan begins functioning.
Stymied by Republican leaders
who were either downright opposed
or Indifferent to an emergency ses-
sion before January, Marshall was
taking his case to the people, at
tempting to rally public opinion be-
hind him.
Intolerable cold and hunger are
the immediate threats facing Eu-
rope, he said. The crisis calls for
urgent consideration"
What would it cost this time?
Marshall said that there was as yet
no estimate of stop-gap needs, but
he didn't deny reports that William
L. Clayton, undersecretary Of state.
had cabled from Europe a request
for a special session of congress to
vote 2.5 billion dollars for aid now.
The special session was far from
assured. If it came to a showdown,
COP leaders probably would oppose
it openly, and they could, if they
wished, stif1e any economic aid
legislation.

COP VICTORY
StrdU In Wind?

Jubilant Republicans were MAX
ing much of Franklin H. Lichten-
walters resounding victory over
labor-supported Phil H. Storch,
Democratic candidate, in a special
election to fill Pennsylvania eighth
district seat in congress.
The issue, naturally, was the Taft
Hartley labor law, and the outcome
was two-to-one acceptance by the
voters of the law and what it sig
nifies. If Pennsylvania is as much a
political weathervane as it is
claimed to be, the Lichtenwalter
victory forecasts a cold, bleak wind
from the north for Democrats in
1948.
Republican hoop-la called the vote
''a smashing rebuke to the radical
labor bosses who chose to make the
Taft-Hartley labor management act
the paramount issue of the cleo
tion."

every time passed by the
statue of K0sciuszkO, I could
hear faint murmur. / had no
doubt it was KOSciuSZkO telling
what he would do today if he
could just get down from his
pedestal.
A number of people wrote in
about that. They always do when
mention the statues. People are in
terested in statues even though they
have gone out of style as monu-
ments. You know, the Du Pont fam
lily took the bust of old Admiral
Samuel F. Du Pont out of the IA
NOUS circle named after him, and
replaced it with the present beauti-
full memorial fountain. Some Wash
ingtonians were deeply offended
and the national parks service was
kept busy for several days answer
ing phone calls and letters from in
dignant citizens.
In fact about the only complaints
the national parks service has been
receiving of late years have been
concerned with the upkeep of the II
statues entrusted to its care. Some
Washingtonians call up to rebuke
the service for the greenish tinae
creeping over some of them. ike
Kosciuszko's. It is bronze and
weather turns it green, which most
sculptors feel adds to its 3eauty, so
the service doesn't worry too much.
There wasn't much money for
the national parks during World
War II to pretty up Washing
toms statuary. About all the
service could manage was a
yearly washing of each statue
lit takes several men a whole
day for the laundering job). But
this year congress gave the
service $4,000 for trucking
equipment, hoses, masonry re-
pairs, plumbing fixtures for the
fountains and other monuments.
They have another $4,000 to
spend on structural repairs-to re-
place missing arms, legs and
chunks hacked out by souvenir
hunters, for statues have their
ghouls, too. But most of the finger
breaking, it is believed, is done by
perverted youth. On the whole, peo-
pie like statues.

have estimated that the army's
postwar strength has sunk to a new
low of 965,00O officers and men,
1856 below its authorized quota.
The army lost $4,000 officers and
men during July and August and

a net loss of $4,000 since July l.,
when strength was $4,000 below the

Make Old Folks
Topic Of Study
University Scientists Take
On Investigation to
Last 80 Years.

CHICAGO.-Three University OF
Chicago scientists took a deep
breath the other day and launched a
study which will take them 80 years
to finish.
They want to know what makes
old folks tick. If the scientists tick
long enough to complete the project
they'll be old folks themselves.
With elderly people comprising a
larger and larger part of the popu-
lation, the scientists want to know
what's necessary to keep the old
folks happy, how useful they ear be,
how many the government will have
to support and what the political
consequences will be.
Being social scientists, they are
interested in adding life to years,
not years to life"
Researchers are Robert ]. Havig-
hurst, 46, professor of education;
Ernest w. Burgess, 60, professor of
sociology, and Herbert Goldhamer,
33, assistant professor of sociology.
Avoid Old Age.
TIE University is underwriting the
project, known as "a study of later
maturity" The scientists carefully
steered away from the phrase "old
age" in the title, since they don't
want to ALLEVIATE the 1000 subjects
they'll be using.
The 1000 persons picked as a sam
pie group for study represent a So
cial and economic c~ross-section of
society.
Economically they range from
skilled workers to business execu-
tives. They are so, go, 70 and 80
years old, and all will be studied
as long as they. live.
They will be interviewed person
ally and once each year they will be
asked to answer a QUESTIONABLE.
How well adjusted to society old
folks are will be determined by
deciding how active they are in
group work. How happy they are
can be judged only by their re-
sponses to some of the questions.
True or False.
Included in the true or false ques-
tons are:
81 feel just miserable most of the
time"
"I certainly don't feel as old as
I am"
81 never want to see my family
again."
81 never dreamed that I could be
as lonely as I am now"
"People treat me as if I were a
nobody"
"The days seem endless"
81 seem to have less and less to
live for"
Just how significant this study
prove to be was pointed out
by Havighurst: SIN the early 1905
in the United States two-thirds of
the population was below the age of
l8. Now over two-thirds of the popu-
Iation is over Is years old.
"In 1910 there was 10K per cent
Of our population 60 years of age
DR. older. By 1880 we'll have Is
to 20 per cent of our people 60 years
Dr. older"
