Californian Promotes Sale
OF New Atom.Bomb Hideouts

OAKLAND, CALF. The hills
ringing San Francisco bay will be
literally honeycombed with atom.
bomb hideouts if an Oakland real
estate man has his way.
The peoples dread of the atom
bomb and the deadly r~adio-activity
in its wake prompted Stanley B.
Paul to seek out the best locations
back in the valleys and gulches sur-
rounding the 60-mile long bay.
He visions small houses with "all
the necessities at hand" and pro-
tected by hills as refugees from the
A-bomb blast and the subsequent
lowering cloud. .
Paul said he has enlisted the aid
of dozens of realty companies
from Napa, As miles above Oakland
to Santa Cruz, 70 miles to the south.
to offer land for sale at reasonable
prices.
MY main interest is to help the
poor people who can't afford high
priced places and who need a place
close to transportation If atomic or
germ warfare should come" he
said.

John. the Monkey.
Outsmarts John,
The Scientist

LEXINGTON, KY.-John, a willy
monkey. is making University Of
Kentucky scientists wish they never
heard Of Darwin.
John, and his mate, Phyllis, were
living a happy life in a cage in the
biological science building, just
minding their own monkey business.
Then John decided to take off.
Since then scientists have been
trying to lure John back home. But
John won't lure. His favorite hide
away is the home Of DR.. John M.
Edney of the university geological
department.
Edney tried to persuade John to
hit the road. But John isn't faxed
by the gentle brushoff. He has de-
cided to stay.
Edney tried whisky, hoping to get
John pie-eyed and then cart him
back home.
A true Kentuckian, John loved
the bourbon. He Tapped it up. But
like a good topper, he didn't pass
out.
Subtlety and underhanded meth
DDS failing, Edney chose brute
force. He laid down shiny traps
throughout the yard and garden.
Behind hidden doors, Edney and
the neihgbors waited, tense with
anticipation. 1t looked as though
John was ready to be sprung.
Cautiously. John approached a
trap, fascinated by mans skillful
contrivance. He shifted at it. Gin
gerly, he put his paw into a spring.
With a flicker of defiance, a ges-
ture Of derision, he released the
spring.
Then he scampered off, still free.

Correction

Our attention was called to
an error in the third paragraph
of the editorial Mothers
Day 1949". It was not the Pa
rents Health Organization but
the Women's League of ST.
Croix which, for the first time,
selected Mrs. Aloysius James
as Mother of the Year; Mrs.
Emanuel was named by PHO
in another program. This is
therefore the second year.
It is worthy of note that both
the PTO and the League are
holding a joint program this
year and has selected Mrs.
Ruth O. Stevens as the out
standing Mother for this year.

$500,000,000, of other large city
banks about $350,00O,000, and Of
country" banks by $3.50, 100000.
McCabe's statement made it clear
the board has not abandoned the
request that Congress extend it's
powers to make reserve require
ments even sitter than those pre-
vailihg before the easing. Presi-
dent Truman has joined in this
request.
Present law, part of which is due
to expire June 3 unless renewed by
Congress, permits the board to re-
quire New York and Chicago banks
to place up to 80 per cent of check
ing account deposits in reserve:
larger city banks "a per cent and
country banks 1S per cent.
The maximum reserves that could
be ordered against saving account
deposits under the present law is
7R per cent, regardless of class of
bank.
Local bankers at New York gave
virtually unanimous approval to
the Reserve Board move.
The most important angle of the
news to most bankers is that the
business will have additional ST.
200,O00,000 which can be used to
invest and thus produce revenue
In view that bank loans to business
commerce and agriculture have de-
clined sharply in recent weeks, il
was considered likely that bankers

Whether it would stimulate banks
actually to lend more-or make
borrowers more eager for funds
was something only the future
would tell
Only about eight months ago, the
Reserve Board had raised bank re-
serves, thereby freezing large sums
beyond the reach of borrowers, as
an anti-inflationary step.
Thomas B. McCabe, Reserve
Board chairman, commented in a
statement accompanying notice of
the move:
"The present action was taken in
furtherance of the boards policy
of adjusting all of it's credit regu-
lations in accordance with chang
ing economic conditions and the
credit requirements of the current
business situation.
"Since the first of the year there
has been a decline of approximate
/ ly $1,500 100000 in loans at mem
Der banks.
About $1,000 100000 of this de-
cline has occurred at member
banks in New York and Chicago
the central reserve cities. The re-
mainder of the decline was largely
at banks in reserve cities.
"In view of this trend of loans
and the fact that (reserve) require
ments at the New York and Chi
cago banks had been increased
from 20 to 26 per cent during 194S
the board felt that it was appro-
pirate at this time to reduce the re-
quirements for the central reserve
city banks somewhat more than fol
other member banks.
1--WE have frequently stated thai
credit regulations are not one
way street. They should be tight
ened or relaxed as general economic
conditions require"
