Ike Has Great
 Faith In American Newsboys

PHILADELPHIA, (P) - News paperboys are great hope for the future of the nation, says General Dwight D. Eisenhower, a former carrier himself and now presi- dent of Columbia University.
 Eisenhower told 5000 persons Friday night-including $500 news boys-that the boys have initia- tive and courage.
 The boys presented the ex-army chief of staff with an award in the shape of a paperweight. On it was inscribed:
 Whose unselfish devotion to the service of his country and his fellowmen has provided the youth of the nation with an inspiring ideal and guiding example of good Americanism."

Russia Proposes Int'l Atomic
 Energy Control
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) He said he doubted the sincerity of the Soviet move.
 He said the United States wants to know what is wrong with the plan of the majority of the com mission-which calls for interna- tional control of the atom first and then prohibition of atomic wea- pons.
 Gen. A. c. L. McNaughton, the Canadian delegate, told reporters the Russian proposal was a sur render to the obvious logic of the situation. He said he would con- tinue to back his own resolution, calling on the assembly to back the majority plan.
 Vishinsky presented the Soviet proposal during a speech of rebut- tai in the U. N. political commit tee in which he charged the west ern powers with misrepresenting Soviet objectives and proposals.
 Saturdays Soviet move repre- sented major change in Soviet policy toward the atomic bomb.
 Only Friday Vishinsky had ar gued strenuously that the bomb must be banned before control ma chinery could go to work.
 The western policy has been that the control machinery should be put to work first and the bomb banned after world production of atomic energy has been inspected and put under United Nations guardianship.
 Vishinsky's speech was in ans wer to an address by French de- fense minister Paul Ramadier, who backed the United States po- sition on atomic energy control.
 Ramadier, former French pre- mier, said hints by Vishinsky Fri day and Yugoslav deputy foreign minister Ales Bebler Saturday that the United States was not the only nation that possessed an atomic bomb, showed an international control system was necessary be- fore the atomic bomb could be banned.

The complexities of the housing
problem were emphasized in panel
discussion presented last night be-
fore members of the Washington
Branch of the American Associa-
ton of University Women.
The speakers, who represented
both public and private enterprise,
were Louis Justement, Washington
architect and author of New Cities
for Old; Tyler S. Rogers Of To-
ledo, an executive of the Overs
Corning Fiherglass Corp, and john
Ihlder, executive officer of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority.
Mr.. Justement warned that 1t
is delusion to believe that solu-
tion to the housing problem can be
found in a drastic reduction of
building costs. He called for a
concentration of efforts on such
factors as the scarcity of building
labor and advocated an aggressive
apprentice training program as es-
sential.
The architect also asserted that
too many advocates of free enter
prise are unwilling to admit their
own limitations. There would be
no housing problem if private en-
terprise alone had been able to
provide an adequate quantity and
quality of housing at a price people
could afford to pay he said. He
added, however, that public housing
advocates frequently are 'just as
stubborn in their thinking as are
the advocates of private enterprise"
Mr.. Rogers suggested the need
for a revision in general ideas on
low-cost shelter. Traditional de-
signs and materials are not neces-
sarily most economical or best in

performance" he declared. But
if people insist on habitual patterns
of past generations, they must ac-
cept the higher costs associated
with them"
On the general question of cost
reduction, Mr.. Rogers declared that
labor must produce more in rela-
tion to the wages it receives, man
agement must plan better and taxes
must come down. Taxes, he de-
clarcd, are a much greater element
in home building costs than before
the war.
Speaking from the viewpoint of
public housing, Mr. Ihlder said that
reducing construction costs is
sometimes overemphasized ECO
nomical housing does not mean
cheap housing" he declared. "Our
alley dwellings built after the Civil
War, our temporary dwellings built
during World War II are compare
lively cheap, but are not econom-
ical." The cost of maintenance, re-
pairs and requirements are all in
creased by skimping on construction
costs, he pointed out.
Mr.. Ihlder suggested that in seek
! ing to solve the housing problem
the emphasis should be on proper
housing for the many and not profit
for the few whatever may be
done to reduce costs, there will be
people unable to pay profit on
these COSTS" he declared For
them public housing is needed"
Mrs. william R. Gage served as
moderator for the discussion. which
was sponsored by the AAUW Leg
