CITIZENS COMMITTEE BE.
GINS RECREATION
STUDY

Organization of the new citi-
zens' Recreation Study Commit
tee is the most recent step by
the Joint City-School Recreation
Board to give Cleveland an ade-
quate recreation program. This
is a significant effort in demo
cratic city planning.
At the first meeting of the
Committee this spring, Lee c.
Howley, chairman of the Joint
Board, emphasized that it's two
pressing problems are () run
ming the best possible recreation
program with the facilities and
finances at hand, and (2) devel-
oping sound plan for more
adequate facilities. Number, 2 is
a problem in city planning.
To aid in the study, the City
Planning staff has completed a
number Of maps showing exist
ing tennis, swimming, golf, base
ball and softba!l facilities and is
working closely with the citizen
group. All the staff's previous
work on recreation planning is
being placed at the groups dis
posal.
The Study Committee is ex-
pected within year to present
to the community a full picture
of what ought to be done and
how much it will cost. It may
then seek voter support for a
faster rate of improvement of
our recreation system than
funds now available will allow.

Loyalty Check Is Delaying

Legal requirements are designed

Marshall Plan
Propaganda
Watch Ordered
House Agents AIerted
For Selling job by
State Department
By the Associofed Press

A congressional committee
trained inquisitive eyes on the
State Department today to de-
termine if il is trying to "sell"
the Marshall plan for European
aid to the public and Congress.
Frank T. Bow, counsel for the
House Expenditures Subcommittee
which is investigating propaganda
by Federal agencies, disclosed to
newsmen that Chairman Harness
has issued special instructions to
watch the State Department.
Selling Job" Under Scrutiny.
Mr.. Bow said the departments
news releases and other publicity
material are being studied to detect
any effort to exert pressure on Con-
gress for legislation to implement
the program.
Mr.. Harness issued the instruc-
tions, Mr.. Bow said, because admin
istration supporters have declared
that "a selling job" will be necessary
to win public approval of the plan
for European self-help with Ameri-
can assistance.
Mr.. Bow emphasized that the
committee is not concerned with the
merits of the Marshall plan, but
only with possible attempts to en-
list public support through use of
Federal funds. The State DEPART
ment, he said, has a perfect right"
to distribute factual information on
the plan, but not to "propagandize."
He said further that the commit
tee has no objection to department
officials expressing their own opin-.
ions.
Other Agencies Watched.
The committee already has criti-
cized the Federal Security Agency
for using Government money to
build up public backing for what
the committee called "socialized
medicine" programs.
Several other agencies, committee
sources said, are being investigated
because of their publicity" activi-
ties. These include the Agriculture
Department, the Office of Govern
ment Reports and the War Depart
ment.
