Radio AS A substitute

Washington, d. G., has had a
strike which left the Capital with
out daily newspapers. Can you i'm
agine how John @. Public and the
political masters of the nation rush
ed to radios to listen to broadcasts? :?
For four days we all agreed that the
radio is not a real or satisfactory
substitute for newspapers. In fact
if you have to go without the news
paper and listen to the radio you'll
find that the substitute isn't
worth your time. The power of the

one of the Washington newspa-
pers goes into detail to shaw that
the "Fair Deal' is constantly plan
ming for perpetual prosperity for
agriculture.
Well, that's a good idea in case
it can be worked out in practical
way. The Secretary of Agriculture
produces a "lure" for buying milk
at 15c a quart. The Government
would figure out a way to pay the
farmers a bonus on their milk.
Maybe this is a subsidy and may
be it is not. At least it is puzzle
that smart Cabinet officers are
working on.

Considerable Resemblance

Most folks know what it means
to be busted today and flush to-
morrow. .
That's how it is with Uncle Sam
who has always boasted that he had
plenty of money to go on. But you
can put it down as a safe prophecy
that the United States budget for
the current year will be over ST.
C00,000,O00 in the red.
There is no question but what
there is a big slowing down in all
business activity. One of our best
authorities, a Washington newspa-
per man, makes this statement:
'The Government is going to be
short of money. Advance notice is
given by the renewal of appeals to
the public to buy more Govern
ment savings bonds" Well, we
look upon these appeals with favor
just to put away a little piece OF
paper signed by Uncle Sam to be
used in a o'pinch" sometime in the

Alcoholics Anonymous

The duPonts of Wilmington, Del

Der up some of their thirsty em-
ployees. Thus the dupont Company
is one of the first outstanding con-
Germs in the country to challenge
alcoholism as a disease and treat
it as a health problem The Alco-
holics Anonymous system is re-
ported to have saved the lives of
$50 DUPONT employees.
When an alcoholic stops drink
ing he is somebody; he is a man of
character and intelligence said
DR.. George H. Gehrmann, dupont
medical director, who added Il be-
lieve that we have actually saved
the lives of those 1870 DUPONT em-
ployees who are members of AA
now. If these alcoholics had not
joined AA, in all probability they
would be dead or insane by now.
This correspondent to family pa
pers put the okay on Alcoholic An
onymous on previous occasions, but
in all the observations by us there
has been nothing comparable with
this report of the Alcoholics An
onymous movement as reported
from Wilmington.

No Trouble If Fairly
Apportioned

WASHINGTON Racial segrega-
ton in public housing projects will
be left up to local authorities, as
long as the number of units is APP
portioned fairly among the races,
Public Housing Administration
spokesman said Sunday.
The PHA policy is expected to be
announced formally in a few weeks
as the multi-billion dollar public
housing program approved by Con-
gress at its last session gains mo-
mentum.
The question of racial segregation
in Observation-Disclosures low rent dwell
ling units was raised after the re-
cent announcement OF a policy TO
ban federal mortgage insurance OF
private housing on which discrimi
natory race-religious covenants are
recorded in the future.
Basically, a PHA spokesman said,
there will be no change in the pres
ent practice Of letting each COM
munity decide whether to have sep
arate projects for racial groups I'M
der the new public housing law.
But he said more explicit instruc'
tions will be issued to make sure
that the overall construction pro-
gram in each community is prop
erly balanced to meet the needs Of
low).income families in each racial
group.
1.-THE way in which local housing
authority distributes its low-income
tenants of different races among Its
various projects Is to be left to local
determination, so long ar equitaDle
