More SIum Clearance Delay

1t Is all right for the Commissioners and the
National Capital Housing Authority to plan
coordination Of the slum clearance and public
housing programs, but they must face the fact
that both programs will be hit by emergency
developments. 1t may be- that NCHA will be
permitted to proceed with at least part of its
low-rent housing construction project, although
the type Of housing planned will not provide
relief for the influx of war workers But that
part of the slum clearance and redevelopment
program calling for razing Of present substandard
structures to make way for new dwellings prob
ably will have to be postponed indefinitely.
Congress is not likely to approve of the
destruction Of any housing in washington while
there is housing shortage in prospect. Thus,
the agreement whereby the District Government
would undertake to tear down as many alley
or other slum dwellings as NCHA Is permitted
to build may be expected to encounter con-
gressional roadblock. It is unfortunate that
another national emergency threatens to inter-
pose new obstacles in the way Of slum clearance
and housing redevelopment in Washington, but
first things must come 1rst-and today national
defense deserves top priority over projects
concerned with social welfare.

This and That .:

That, of course, was one Of the rea-
sons 1t was Golden Age.
Mother shortly turned the wooden leg
Of Capt. Cattlett into an asset.
Whenever Buddy, the younger Of the
two boys, acted naughtily, it was Capt.
Cattlett's leg that came to the rescue.
The leg became matter Of fear,
and after it the attic, as its lair.
Whenever Buddy "acted up" refused
to take his medicine, or in some other
way violated the household orders, his
slightly, older brother knew just what
to do.
Sneaking up the back stairs, he went
to the attic, lifted the old fashioned
wooden leg. and started 1t humping
across the boards.
"You hear that2" mother would ask.
Buddy's eyes would grow dark. and
larger than usual.
".Ole Captain Cattlett, ole Captain
Cattlett," he would whimper.
"He will get you. unless you take your
medicine" repeated mother. with fine
disregard for all the thousand books OF,
child care that were to come.
IT don't wanna take my medicine!"
screamed Buddy.

ston has explained, have started cooperative
operations in Brazil with respect to manganese,
nickel and several other minerals. They furnish
the managerial superintendence, but they own
only minority fraction of the plants What the
Geological Survey scientists are doing is an over
all job Of appraisal. Their charts and maps will
be useful as an engineering base Within single
decade Brazilian ore should be moving into the
United States in adequate quantity to justify
the expense involved in exploration many hun
dredS of times over.
The strategic connotations are obvious. They
spell good -neighborliness in practice, and Ameri
cans and Brazilians alike should be aware of the
fact In this connection, it is significant that
scientists of the Geological Survey have been or
now are in Cuba, Mexico, Peru, India, Afghanis-
tan, Thaiand and number Of other countries
on similar errands by invitation OF the govern
ments thereof.

When Capt. Cattlett, who left q leg
at Gettysburg, decided to 60 to Europe
for year, he let his house furnished.
In the attic he left one Of his spare
wooden legs.
The family that took over the house
had two boys. one several years older
than the other.
It is necessary to keep in mind that
this is story from the Golden Age.
No mother OF that era had ever heard
anything about the wrong Of repressing
children.
If she had. no doubt she would have
bubbled, "Repress 'em, good gracious.
of course repress 'em! What else can
one do?"
The joyous thing was that she was
right, too.
Both of those children, repressed be-
yond measure in today's critical terms,
had happy cnildhoods turned into use-
full and happy men, without one thought
to the contrary.
Their lives, so far. have made mon
keys out Of the psychologists and psy-
chiatrists.
Their mother knew nothing Of mod
ern child upbringing. for the simple
reason that 1t had not been invented yet.

Usually this was all mother had to say.
"I'n take it, III take itl"
The attic helper, hearing this phrase.
put the leg away, and came down the
steps, to be rewarded with a knowing
wink from mother, his fellow conspir-
ator.
About q year later, when the boys one
day were playing in the parlor, as 1t was
called then, Buddy was q bit excited, as
he sometimes was and mother thought
it might be a good plan to calm him
down d bit.
NOV. Buddy. "she said. "old Cap
tain"
No sooner had she spoken than there
came a thumping-but not from the
attic, this time.
The thump thump. thump came, of
all places. from the front porcfli
"Ole Captain Cattlett," Buddy began
to whimper.
Nonsense" said mother. "He is up
In the attic"
He's on the porch!' shouted Buddy.
There came q ring.
Mother. opened the door.
A tall man standing there removed
his hat. and bowed stiffay, as he thumped
forward. .%

We of the Burrville School wish to
thank Inspector Mansfield for his recent
visit to us in behalf Of traffic safety. Each
boy and girl eagerly awaited his circus.
We feel that they learned an invaluable
lesson in an effective, pleasant way.
Every one Is wearing his button and
singing the safety songs. Indeed. the
pupils are so enthusiastic about the
Safety Circus that they have combined
their thoughts and feelings into this
little poem:
TO INSPECTOR MANSFIELD
Not Ringlino Brothers and Barnum and
Bailey,
No, that's not the circus we talk about
~~ daily
It's yours that's so funny and cleOer and
yet
We all learn lesson ,De'H neper forget
We laugh at the drawings and think
they're 80 mice" $
But, the same time, ,ue're learnino--at
corners look ttDice.
We're glad of Our record of no accidents
And remember the rules which the circus
presents.
We're proud OF our buttons and little
cards, too,
They help US remember the circus and
you:
Please bring the circus to BurrOi1le nert
year,
Until then oood-by. from each young

Q. How old is Independence Hall in
Philadelphia? Who was the architect?
ID. K.
A. It was erected 1921 after plans
drawn by Governor Andrew Hamilton
and DR.. John Keorsley. The white
clock-steeple was added later to replace
the wooden bell-tower The building
was originally designed for provincial
offices, and although neither Of the
planners was an architect it Is regarded
as one of the outstanding examples of
Georgian style.

Iron From Brazil

The Government of the United States is
cooperating with that of Brazil In an effort to
discover exactly what the iron resources of the
latter country may be. A project sponsored in
part by our Geological Survey has been checking
ore deposits in Minas Gerais since 1910, and the
work Is to be continued until 1858 by authority OF
the International Development Act which pro-
vides for American technical collaboration with
friendly nations. Six geologists from the Depart
ment of the Interior already have received
assignments to Brazil. They will follow the lines
of exploration and research laid down by earlier
students of the terrain.
Eventually, through their labors and those
of Brazilian colleagues, the two countries will
know the extent and the specific value Of the
iron which Nature has stored in the general
mines" area of the great Brazilian plateau. The
principle Of enlightened mutual interest is the
basis of the survey. Dr. w. D. Johnston, jr, who
spent four years in Mnas Gerais and has faith
in its potentals says that the ore reserves there
are the richest in the Western Hemisphere He
found them large in extent and of the highest
grade in quality. Open pit methods OF extraction
are practicable, but new railroad facilities will
be needed to bring the native, mineral from the
mountains to the seaports for exports. With the
iron reserves of the United States going fast,
fresh supplies from wherever they can be OBJ
tanned are wanted. Brazil, it seems, is one of
the best places for us to be helping to develop
such replenishment

REORGANIZATION and Defense

It Is reassur1ng to learn that the Citizens
Committee for the Hoover Report will continue
its efforts to have Congress complete the job Of
Government reorganization. Attainment of the
goal will not be easy in the midst Of congressional
preoccupation with defense emergency problems.
But executive efficiency and economy are inn
portant factors in the defense program; hence
governmental reform has rightful place on
the legislative program for the next Congress.
As the Citizens Committee points out in a
pamphlet on the status Of the Hoover recon-
mendations, the outbreak OF war In Korea found
the Government better prepared to function eff
fectively than If there had been no reorganisa-
ton at all. Not only were defense agencies en-
abled to perform their work more smoothly and
with less conflict, but the emergency found the
Nation 81 billion year richer as a result Of
savings achieved through the partial adoption of
the Hoover program It is estimated that ad-
ditional billions can be saved by finishing the
task already begun.
The citizens report shows that approximate
ly half of the Hoover Commissions reorganiza-
ton proposals have been put into effect, either
through special legislation or executive orders.
Some important things remain to be done, how
ever, before the reorganization program can be
regarded as really successful. Among the more
pressing of these plans are those for moderniz-
ing and eliminating politics from the Post Office
Department, consolidating Federal hospital and
medical facilities, improving Federal personnel
policies, reorganizing the Veterans Administra-
ton and overhauling the Department Of Agri-
culture. Money, nanpower, time and energy
are being wasted In the fields covered by the
suggested reforms To permit this waste to
continue in period Of national emergency Is
inexcusable.

Mr.. Yoshido on Japan and Peace

In q fortnight article appearing in the cur
rent issue of Foreign Affairs, Prime Minister
shigeru Yoshida, speaking for himself, his gov
ernment and "preponderant majority" OF his
countrymen, has appealed for the speedy negoti-
alton Of a japanese peace treaty-with or without
Soviet participation and despite threatful in
dications from the Kremlin that 1t would regard
such treaty as illegal"
Mr. Yoshida does not mince words. Rightly
blaming the Russians for deliberately blocking
settlement up to now-just as they have done
in the case of Germany-he says that Japan
prefers separate peace to no peace at all. AT
present, 1t is still technically at war with 49
countries, and Mr.. Yoshida earnestly believes
that 1t will have mneh to gain politically, econ
orically and socially ihthe non-Soviet members
of that group act without further delay to draw
up treaty with 1t.
Such a development would restore peace and
normal relations between Japan and about A
different nations-the bulk of the free world.
The Peiping- Moscow propaganda line has lately
been warning that Red China and the Soviet
Union would look upon separate treaty of that
sort as further evidence" Of an American "plot"
to remilitarize the japanese for new program
of aggression" in Asia-an Interpretation i'm
plying that the Kremlin and its Chinese Com
munist puppets might take counteraction
against them.
This threat, however, apparently HAS noI
cowed Mr.. Yoshida or the Japanese people as
whole Thus he affirms that Japan-even though
it has been completely denilitarized, physically
and mentallyIs ready to risk the wrath of the
Reds by becoming party to a separate treaty and
by going on from there to do its "full share and
make sacrifices, If necessary, in any arrange
ment for international cooperation under United
Nations auspices to insure the security Of the
Pacific as well as Japan
In any event, Mr.. Yoshida is emphatic in
declaring that Japan is definitely and irrevo-
cably" joined with the democratic world in the
struggle against Communism. Then, as if to
drive the point home to the Kremlin, he observes,
IF this does not suit the other side, we can't
help it." These are courageous words coming
from a man whose country is almost within ear
shot Of the hot war in Korea. Such country,
regardless of Soviet threats and obstruction,
deserves a peace settlement that will bring it
within the family of free nations at the earliest
possible moment.

by ! o'clock in the morning the oppo-
sition had let off lot Of steam, and
the pressure seemed to have diminished
subtly. -~'7f7ar<,~
The denouement came the next day,
Of which this is the anniversary. Chase
came to see the President. He said he
had been painfully affected" by the
meeting the night before. He told the
President that he, too, had written his
resignation.
This is how Mr.. sandburg tells the
story:
"'Where is it?' asked Lincoln, his eyes
lighting up.
"I brought 1t with me, said Chase.
taking the paper from his pocket. i
wrote it this morning
Let me have IT, said the President,
reaching his long arm and fingers to-
ward Chase, who held on to the paper
and seemed sorry to part with 1t.
"Chase hesitated at letting 1t go. He
seemed to have something further TO say
before giving up the document. But the
President was eager, did not notice
Chase, took the letter, broke the seal
and read It,.
i" This said Lincoln, holding UP the
letter with triumphal laugh, cuts
the Gordian knot. can dispose Of this
subject now without difficulty +. see
my way clear .,
Chase realized right away that he had
been outwitted. He wrote the President
later in the day that something in
Lincolns expression when he seized
that resignation made on my mind the
impression that. having received resigna-
fions both Of Governor Seward and
myself, you felt you could relieve your
self from trouble by declining to accept
either. and that this feeling was one OF
qualification"
The Treasury Secretary was never
Fighter, Of course. That was just what
happened. Lincoln put it even more
succinctly in talking to visitor. He
remembered how farmers, riding to
market, found that one pumpkin, hang
ing on one side Of the horse, made for an
unbalanced load.
e''Yes," he said, II can ride on now.
