S16,000-a-Year Pay
Proposed for Chief
OF Arms Aid Program

The general administrator OF
the military assistance program
would receive a salary of $4,000
a year, under proposals submitted
to Congress today.
Draft legislation calls for three
other top officials to help direct
the program at salaries of $4,000.
There would be comparatively
small" additional Government en-
ployment resulting from the pro-
gram, according to a report sub
mitted to Congress by the State
Department, because it is planned
to use existing agencies to the
fullest extent possible in admin
istration of the program.
The proposed legislation would
permit the President to administer
the program any way he saw fit.
Present administration plans,
the State Department said, call
for it to exercise primary re-
sponsibility for direction of the
program, in close cooperation with
the National Military Establish
ment, which would handle most
of the actual operations. and the
Economic Cooperation Admins
tration:
Under these plans, the top
$4,000 job would go to special
assistant to Secretary of State
Acheson. He would have the title
OF Director for Foreign Military
Assistance. Two of the proposed
$4,000 jobs would 60 to special
assistants to the Secretary of De-
Tense and ECA Administrator.
The three special assistants would
form a Foreign Military Assist
ance Coordinating Committee.
The third $4,000 job would 60
to an executive director" to adj
minister overseas activities under
the program.

Boston Harbor Crash

BOSTON, July 25.-The Coast

pleasure boat in two, killing one
and injuring 10 in Boston's inner

Witnesses said both were headed
up the main ship channel in per-
feet weather at the time of the
collision.
Thousands of Sunday excur-
sionists watched as their vessels
helped rescue the 20 Marie S..
passengers and crew. tossed in
dazed condition in the big ships
boiling wake.
Coast Guard. Navy. police and
private craft combined in prompt
efforts which probably avoided a
major disaster. Only the bow OF
the Marie S. remained afloat. 1t
was later lowed to port.
Capt. Lawrence B. Adams OF
Brooklyn, master of the freighter
and Capt. I. Clarence Bailey, har-
Dor pilot, were on the bridge at
the time of the crash.
Capt. Bailey, a veteran pilot,
said lat the time the ship was 40
ing approximately II knots.
LAS we came abreast of the No.
2 buoy, Capt. Adams called to me
that q small boat was changing
course. I tried to see in what di-
rection the new course was to be

ment. He asked whether the ce-
partment would consult employers
as well as labor leaders.
Mr.. Tobin pointed to the Fed
eral Advisory Council composed
of management, employees and the
public. He testified he would
consider very carefully the ad-
vice Of these men and women
on the administration of the bu-
reau."
Senator Margaret Chase Smith,
Republican, of Maine. said she
had a good deal of mail from per-
sons who feel the department is
labor dominated.
One of the reasons little bust
ness fears a change. said Senator
Ives, Republican, of New York, is
that it fears department regula-
ton may prevent it from using
the placement service Of the

"Open Mind" T0bin Says.
Brought up specifically was the
possibility of change in the ex-
perience rating under which en-
ployers are taxed for unemploy-
ment compensation. Businesses
with steady employment records
enjoy reduced tax rates.
Mr.. Tobin said the policy re-
garding the continuance of the
rating system has not been deter
mined and he would not care to
give q decision on the matter until
cit has been studied carefully.
IT do know that the Fedora

depends on many unpredictable
factors. Our burden will undoubt-
eddy lessen as our program for peace
brings its returns. Advancing eco
nomic recovery will enable the free
nations to sustain larger share of
the expense of their own defense
measures. Progress toward a peace
full settlement of international diff
ferences will reduce the threat of
violence, and tighten the cost of
preparedness. Ultimately, when the
peaceful principles OF the United
Nations are fully realized, the pro-
lection of the peace may be assigned
to the security forces of that or
ganization.
II this program of military aid
is to succeed, we must prosecute
it promptly and vigorously. Our
policies for peace are having the
desired effect. We cannot afford
to lose the momentum we have al
ready gained.
One need only to look back to
the situation with which we were
confronted two and one-half years
ago to be convinced of the right
ness of our course of action. At
that time the free nations of Europe
were not only exposed and defense
less, but they were also caught
in an economic impasse which
threatened the existence OF their
democratic forms of government.
Europe, with its great storehouse
of skills and its heritage of free
institutions, seemed about to dis
integrate and to fall piece by piece
under the sway of totalitarian Con-
troll.
Program Is Defensive.
The fact that such a disaster has
been averted should inspire us with
confidence in the ultimate triumph
of the cause Of peace and freedom
not only in Europe but elsewhere
In the world.
Like the North Atlantic Treaty,
this program of military aid is
entirely defensive in character. BY
strengthening the defense estab-
lishments of the free nations, it
will increase the confidence of the
peoples of the world In a peaceful
future and protect the growth OF
world recovery.
I would not suggest that this pro-
gram alone will bring present III
ternational tensions to an end. It
will, however, preserve the initiative
which the free nations OF the world
now have, and help to create world
structure so firm economically and
militarily as to convince any poten-
tial aggressor nation that its own
welfare lies in the direction of
mutual tolerance and peaceful for
eign relations.

cIuulcltS~ nave requested our MILL
tary assistance. Among these
requests, there can be no more
meaningful appeals than those
which have come from the coun-
tries of Western Europe.
1t is entirely logical that these
governments should turn to us
and that we should help them
Their defense is our defense and
is of deep concern to us. Twice in
one generation we have found
that we had to join with them in
fighting against aggressor nations
in order to preserve our freedom
and the freedom of other demo.
cratic countries.
The principal task of the free
nations Of Western Europe in ths
last four years has been to restore
their war shattered economies
The inherent difficulties of thi,
task have been aggravated by thu
foreign policy of the Soviet Union
which has done it's utmost to pre-
vent European recovery. Full
economic recovery requires peace
full conditions and the assuranc,
that the work of labor, industr!
and agriculture will not be swep
away in an outburst of interna
tional violence.
In place of these conditions
the Soviet Union, with its violen
propaganda, its manipulation o
the conspiratorial activities of tn
world Communist movement. an,
its maintenance of one of tn

New York has one of the most
serious unemployment situations
in the country" Nixon asserted.
The official federal figures. gath
cred by special delivery and tele-
graph, showed there are 1.473. .OOO
continuing claims for unemplov-
ment compensation. The Bureau of
Employment Security said that is
a 45 per cent increase over the
same week of 194S when the total
was $4,000 Continuing claims for
the week ended January /. 1949
amounted to 1,273,O0N.
The bureau said claims are high
er now than at any time since mid
1916. All states except Indiana
Michigan, Minnesota, North Dako-
ia and Idaho reported an increase
in initial claims for the week end
ed January /. They had risen for
six consecutive weeks.
All federal statistical agencies
denied knowledge of a New YOrl,
report that a federal estimate in
dicated unemployment might total
between 3.5OO,OOO and 100000 per-
sons this spring. But some statis-
ticians said privately that might
be a good guess"
There we're 1,941 900 unemploy-
ed in December and the monthly av-
erage for 1948 was 100000, which

From all of that, we might think
of flowers as existing for the pleas

Roanoke: Why do we say Of
polished, cultured man that he is
'urbane"?-Mrs. c. D. L.
A. The Latin word urbs meant
originally "a city inclosed by walls
or palisades" From urbs came
urbanus, "of or pertaining to CITY,"
Urbanus entered English as urban
and this is the source of the word
urbane, meaning polished, suave,
citified," pronounced: ur-BAIN
The noun urbanity, meaning polite
ness, suavity," is pronounced: ur-
BAN-i-tee.
Back to the word urban. Com
bined with the prefix sub, "under,
inferior, subordinate to-" we find
urban in the word suburban, "the
suburbs" (sub- plus urbs, the orig
inal stem).
The prefix inter- means "be-
tween" Therefore, an electric rail-
way system operating between two
or more cities is called an interurban.
With the suffix lite, "a native of or
dweller in," we form two more
words with urban: The first is
urbanite. The second is suburbanite
There is another suffix we can
use: list, zone who is skilled in"
Combined with urban it gives us
the word urbanist, "a specialist in
city planning.
A similar word stem is the Greek
polls, "city." We find it in such
words as metropolis metro means
"mother"), acropolis from akros,
"highest"), police, policy, politics
and cosmopolis from kosmos,
