Tragedy stalked the skies once
again recently, and Kennewiclk
lost one of its best known flyers
and the lowly common man on
the street corner lost one of his
best friends. Known merely as
MAC" he was the best man to
60 to for help when in any kind
of trouble.
Hundreds of those who have
been "down and out" have re-
ceived helping hand from Mac
Nc Kinnis, and never did he ever
ask for repayment in cash or by
return favors. During the last
two years the furtuners of "Mac''
had even took a turn for the
worse, but never yet have ever
heard him turn down anyone
who was in need of help. II
wasn't three weeks ago that I
dropped into his apartment to
find him sitting holding his head
with one hand and a telegram
in his other -. it seems that an
old employee of his who worked
for him at the Richland club
had fallen from power pole ir
Montana and needed two humid.

had to 60 borrow that money tc

can only hope that he is nov

he dealt out so lavishly.

Gen. Grant said:
The tendency to decentralization
is as yet less pronounced and harm

other cities because the principal

here the effect is beginning to be

Favors East Capitol Street.
ITO counteract these centrifugal
forces the Planning Commission
has proposed in the first place that
the new permanent Federal build
lngs shall be built as required on
either side of East Capitol street. y
The effect of this, Gen. Grant
wrote, would be to:
l. Create an increased demand
for housing east of the Capitol, a
residential district dormant for two
decades.
2. Provide additional patrons to
stimulate business in the eastern
part OF the business district.

Thorp Declares ERP
Will Have Little Effect
|0n Price Structure

The domestic price structure Will
not be measurably affected by the
European Recovery Program. As
sistant Secretary of State Willard
L. Thorp said last night.
Speaking before a dinner meeting
of the Harvard Business School
Club of Washington at the Ward
man Park Hotel. Mr.. Thorp said
that American credits abroad
amounting to IS, SOC, 900 900 during
the next IL months actually will re-
suit in a tapering off of United
States exports.
The credits, he said, will largely
derive from the Government surplus
and domestic credits, with only
81 300, 900 900 coming out OF current
taxes.
200 Alumni Present.
The dinner, which concluded .
day Long session, was attended by
more than 200 Harvard Business
School alumni from the Washington
area Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Mr.. Thorp was introduced by Su-
preme Court Justice William O..
Douglas.
Justifying the program on both
economic and political grounds, the
speaker asserted that without such
program, European imports from
the United States would be virtu-
ally cut off and thus seriously affect
our domestic economy.
The five principal commodities
needed by Europe, he said, are
wheat, fertilizers, agricultural ma
chinery. rolling stock and electric
production equipment. In none OF
these cases will scheduled shipments
for the coming year exceed exports
| last year.
The two categories in which We
may have some fears are petroleum
and STEEL" he said.
Need for Steel. Cited.
| AS to Europe's need for steel,
he said, the estimates of scrap sub
mitted by the European nations
participating in ERP were cut from
two million tons to none while
their estimates of finished steel re-
quired were raised to 100000 tons
which amounts to about five per
cent of the total American steel
production.
Earlier yesterday. members Of
the club heard Charles E. Wilson,
president of General Electric Co.,
warn that the American people
should be alert lest rapid advance
in science lead to a quick decline in
spiritual values.
