of development-as it easily may be In
many neighborhoods. The problem which
Congress must face is not that of whether
the OVR shall be maintained in action.
Rather, it is whether it shall be reorganized.
Several proposals to that effect have been
offered. Before Congress decides upon
any revolutionary change, it should be
demonstrated that it is desired and will
be justified, not simply in political advan-
tages, but in larger benefits to the handi-
capped and the Nation as whole. Change

the OVR in such fashion as to require years

The 'FiIlers'

When the general run of news is laden
with gloom and woe-as is so often the
case these days-the distressed reader
could do worse than make a little game
OF searching through the paper, page by
page, for the filters" They are the brief
undated paragraphs that are thrown in
at the tail-end of regular stories to I'LL
up typographical holes Usually, as far
as current events are concerned, they are
apropos Of nothing in particular. But that
is one of their chief charms: They are
refreshingly irrelevant, and many of them
are fascinating enough to offer real relief
and pleasure to anybody who is just bit
tired Of reading about how things are bad
all over.
Thus, the other day-and the same holds
true for practically every day-The Star
and most Of its contemporaries were
sprinkled with variety Of "f1llers" whose
substance was much easier on the mind,
If far less important, than the major news
stories. One, for instance, was made up
OF nothing but the simple statement that
the old American bison had remarkable
endurance, having been able to run forty
miles without stopping Another reported
that the band at Harvard University claims
to have the biggest college drum in the
United States-a real whopper standing
eight feet high. Then, too, on some inside
page, there was little paragraph declaring
that the extinct dodo Didus ineptus) could

word for simpleton. Also, as final exam

information that weddings in Afghanistan
are frequently held at o'clock in the

and insignificant. But that does not de-
tract from the fact that they have kind

Years BIGGEST Story

seasonal diversion among newspaper
men is the selection of the biggest news
story of the past year. Some OF the choices
have been announced. Number one on
the list seems to be White House bulletin
of September % telling the world that an
atomic explosion" had occurred in Russia.
Number two is the signing of the Atlantic
Pact; number three, the end of the Berlin
blockade-and so on, down to number ten,
which was the winning of pensions by Mr..
Murray's steel workers.
Criteria in such selections are perhaps
q little vague. The news editors of the
country think back over what it was that
caused the greatest excitement-among
themselves no doubt-or the things that
made them feel, at the time, that some
thing of very great significance had
occurred. They rely in part upon the
headlines, the Importance Of the story
increasing in direct proportion to the size
and blackness of the type.
Such standards may be acceptable for
the superficial sort of selecting process
with which the news editors are concerned.
But they are of no importance whatever
in gauging what was really the most i'm
portant thing that occurred in 1949. For
1t is highly improbable that anybody
knows. The most important thing that
happened, in its effect upon the future
course OF history, for example, could have
been something as yet unknown that took
place inside the Uranium Of Josef Stain.
It could have been the unexpected reac-
ton of a test-tube culture of bacteria in
some dingy laboratory. 1t could have been
New York's first serious shortage OF water.
It could have been an idea that came to
some unknown scholar as he lay sleepless
on his cot.
Or it could have been the birth, some
where in this world, of child-a child
who will some day design a new pattern
OF thought among men. Any one of these
could have been the greatest and the most
important thing that happened in 1949,
with nothing in the headlines to indicate
that it happened at all.
