The Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration says that nations
abroad receiving Marshall Plan
aid are making headway towards
solving the housing problems left
as a result of the war.
Pointing out yesterday it has
approved release of more than
sl0o, o,Oo0,O 900 in counterpart funds
for housing in participating coun-
tries, ECA said that new small
scale housing units are beginning
to appear all over Western Eu-
rope, partly as a result OF such
funds.
Counterpart funds are match
ing funds set aside by Marshall
Plan nations in their own curren-
cies. which can be used only for
projects approved by the United
States.
In addition to ECA's approval
of release of $100,000,000 for
housing, said the agency. part OF
the building materials for these
dwellings comes from $93 600, 600
worth of lumber and $446, 100000
worth of non-ferrous metals which
ECA has authorized for European
recovery since the start OF the
program.
Pre-Fabs Springing Up.
ECA said pre-fabricated houses
are springing up in the Neither
lands, workers homes are being
constructed in certain major in
dustrial areas in France, and
thousands of Greek refugees are
finding shelter in newly
villages. Housing programs also
are taking shape in Italy, Austria
Norway and the United Kingdom
Most of the current housing pro-
grams, ECA said, are geared tc
industrial development of indl-
vidual countries.
In France, lack Of housing has
been a serious problem in recruit
ing labor in coal mining areas
Today, the equivalent of more
than $14,O00,o0O in counterpart
funds is financing approximately
5000 housing units in the Lor-
raine, Nord and Pas-de-Calais
mining regions.
Two other French housing pro-
1ects are being planned. The
franc equivalent of nearly $6,000,-
600 will be spent on housing for
workers in a steel project. Large
sums also will be spent on new
homes for potash miners in Al
SAGE.
In France, it is estimated that
between $4,000 and 100000 hous-
ing units will have been completed
between April l, 1948, and De-
cember 81, 1949. The Reconstruc-
ton Ministry's 1949 budget calls
for completion Of $4,000 new
dwellings, and the start OF $4,000.
In addition, the budget provides
for completion of 1900 farm
buildings and start of 5000 others.

is a greater need of social work

there should bexsa greater inter-

West Side Woman
Taken for Ride"
By Jimmie N. Jones

There just don't seem possible
for anyone to be taken in on
some o fthe oldest confidence
games that reach out and get their
victims and without any special
effort. Nor does it seem possible
that as many ways to learn of
the many tricks played on people
in the present era with radio, press
and other means of education to
prevent such as has just occurred
to Mrs. Florence Bennett of 331
Sprague street, who became an
other victim of one of the well
known confidence games played
on her Wednesday when she paid
the painful amount of $500 for a
"job in a downtown loan COM
pany, as a JanltreSS."
According to police reports,
Mrs. Bennett was contacted in a
downtown bank by a man she had
never seen and who asked her if
she knew of anyone who wanted
a job, to which she replied "what
kind of work is it,"
He told her the nature of the
job and told her she would have
to make application for it at once,
and added cit would be necessary
for her to have a bank account of
$500 in the same bank" He told
her to meet him in front of the
loan company the next day
Thursday and he would take her
to the management of the bank

"The Sea Lamp"
A Show to See

Those who have not yet attend
ed any of the many performances
of the Yellow Springs Area thea
ter should make every effort to
see the current production, "The
Sea Lamp."h e main reason it
should be seen is because the mu-
steal background was written by
a Negro composer of note. Walter
Anderson wrote the special SYM
phonic theme that is part of this
original drama. The play was writ
ten by Constance Sontog of yell
low Springs, and Kathryn Becker
of Los Angeles.
"The Sea Lamp is now being
presented at the Yellow Springs
opera house. There will be three
more performances, tonight FRI
day., Saturday, night and Sun
day night, August 10, 20 and FL.
The play concerns a young
hemophilia victim who composes
music. DIR. Anderson wrote part
of an orchestration especially
adapted to fit the mood of the
play. DR.. Anderson is head Of the
music department at Antioch col
lege, the first Negro in an Ameri-
can university to be so honored.
He is now engaged in writing a
score for orchestra and chorus
based on Roosevelt1s D-Day pray
er. He is writing it on a Rosen-
valid grant.
His most familiar work is Vari-
atoms on a Negro Spiritual which
was recorded by Arthur Robzinski
and the Cleveland symphony or
chestra. DR.. Anderson conducts
the orchestra which provides the
musical background for most Of
the plays by the Yellow Springs
Area theater.
The play is a must for Dayton
ians. It should be supported so
that the drama group can con-
tinue to turn out such extraordi-
nary performances in such a dem
~ocratic fashion.

Citizen Group Studies
New Covenant Plan !

The Mount Pleasant Citizens As
sociation last night unanimously re-
jected the adoption Of the Newell
plan as a substitute for restrictive
real estate covenants, ruled unen-
forceable by the Supreme Court.
The plan, originated by Clifford
H. Newell, former president Of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
was turned down after the associa-
ton heard report from a commit
tee which had Investigated it.
At the same time, the committee
recommended its own plan and
labeled it, "a gentlemen's agree
ment." The agreement would pro-
vide that residents agree not to
sell or lease property to any one
"other than those of the Caucasian
race" The new plan was put aside
for further study.
Raymond j. Bowen, who repre-
sented the committee which opposed
the Newell plan, said it would be
very difficult" to obtain signatures
of property owners willing to sign
provisional options giving block
captains the right to purchase their
property. He declared property
would be the same as "mortgaged"
and there would be no way to get
out from under"
Mr.. Bowen also contended the
plan might be considered by the
courts "as being in restraint of
trade"
The meeting, conducted by Ar
thur E. Kimberly, president, was
held In the Mount Pleasant Branch
Library, Sixteenth and Lamont
streets NV.

READ THE LABOR LAWS

In connection with the current discussion in Con- gress about repeal of the TaftHarey Labor Law and enactment of new legislation, it might be we'll for the public to bear in mind the facts that there are three legislative proposals under consideration
 The Administration bill introduced by Chairman Le- sinski would kill the Taft-Harey Act and renstate the old Wagner Act with some changes recommended by the President. Another measure introduced by Repre- sentative Wood would retain of the Taf-Hartley Act while repeating it in name.
 There has been furious debate not only in Congress but throughout the country the merits of the egsla tion Most of those engaging in the arguments will not read either of the three measures but will debate vo ciferously on the basis of emotions and prejudice
 While it may be that the old Wagner Act gave too much of the edge to labor organizations the TaftHar- ley legislation undoubtedly went too far in the other d rection Something in between might better preserve the interests of the public with fairness and justice to both labor and management.

 No one deny the urgent need of such project
 Every newspaper, every magazine, every observer and every commentator has reported favoraby the recommendations of the Hoover commission, which would billions of dollars annually put into prac tice.
 The sorry picture of the situation is that the program in all probability will not be adopted It will be another instance where the minority rules That minority, in this instance, will be that vast horde of eeches who have their bureaucratic in the public trough
 The nearly three million individuals on the public payroll of the Federal Government do not want eff ciency Efficiency would mean cutting down govern men operational overhead by combining overlapping bureaucracies and cutting out all nonessentias which would result in a reduction in federal payrolls.

'"Cut Spending, Not More Taxes"
 Says Sen. George

WASHINGTON, (P) - Dem crats and Republicans alike in Congress threw support yesterday behind a reported recommenda- ton by President Truman's coun- cil of economic advisers for a cut in government Spending.
 The council was said to have held that because of unsettled business conditions it would be safer to trim spending than to try any sharp tax increases.
 Responsible officials said the economists went even further-to suggest the possibility of cutting soma excise taxes and of delaying six months social security pay roll tax boost scheduled for July 1.
 Each of these proposals got con- siderable backing from the law makers.
 But the final decision on which way to turn in the face of obvi- ously increasing financial pressure On the nations economy rests with Mir. Truman. Thus far he has re- fused to back down on his report ed demands for $4,OOO, 100000 in new taxes.
 The economic advisers were said to have urged the President to accept lesser goal" than this.
 Chairman George D.-Ga) of the Senate finance committee said the advisory report-delivered to the White House last week but not vet formally made public - con- firms the position he has taken.
 "If the national income is shrinking because business is shrinking, it would be nonsense to clap more taxes on a falling econ omy," George told reporter. Our only hope is to cut expendi- tures."

FOR FREE
(By Dewitt E1nery)


 (By Dewitt Emery)
 The something for nothing idea still persists in Wash ington it's most recent manifestation being the deter mined effort now under way sell Federal Aid to Ed ucaon Senate Bill 246) to the people the basis that it's all "for free,' doesn't cost anyone anything.
 The "do-gooders' and the big spending bureaucrats would have you believe that just as as Congress passes and the President signs this bi Uncle Sam will reach up and pull the $30000000O out of the air. then everything will be all set and everyone, especially the bureaucrats, will be happy.
 Actually, this money will have to from the all the other money Federal Government spends and out of the pockets of all other taxpayers
 So much for the ''for free" angle. Now let's look at the need for federal aid to education
 It in 1886 that the first balyhoo for federal aid to "save schools broke this country. The do gooders and the bleedng hearts, all of sudden had discovered that the school systems of the several states about to apart at the seams, and if the Fed eral Government didn't immediately start kicking in three hundred million dollars year. half of the kids in the country, in very short time wouldn't have any place to go to school. So, in 1886 "save our schools bill introduced in Congress- setting up annual appropriation of $500, 900, 900.
 Now, thirteen years later the bill-its almost out, it's been introduced many tmes-is again presented to Congress- In the meantime what has hap pened to the schools in the several states? Have they apart at the seams? Are half of the chil dren in the country roaming the streets all the time be- there isn't any place for them to go school? You that Whats the situation in your com- munty, in neghborng communities and throughout your state? Are your schools better just the same, worse than they were thirteen years ago?
 l. of course do not know what has happened in the past thirteen years in the schools in every city, town village hamlet and rural district in the country but do know what has happened nationally.
 The records of the U S. Office of Education show that from 1886 to 1947the last year for which figures are availabe-he states including the subdivisions thereof increased the financial support of their schools from $1 656 798938 to $3 $50 345. That's annual gain of $1 407 almost exactly five times the $3OO IIpo1o bo,,o each year, starting in 1e3e to keep our school system from falling apart. "..
 If the states have been able to not only take o but actually double the financial support schools since agitation for federal aid started in 1886 isn't it trey reasonable to assume that they continue handle their school situations without any help from the Federal Government? think it is. If you agree, then by all means express your views to Con- gress The bureaucrats putting plenty of pressure Congress to pass S 24e and you don't do your part It's up to you Mir. and Mrs America.
