The fact that they are not now
registered under the lobby law,
with the results that the public
is not informed of who is back of
them, has raised the question as
to whether they should be includ-
ed when the law Is revised.
Correspondence submitted to
the committee by Leonard A..
Read, president of the Founda-
ton for Economic Education, a
blue-stocking, slick-paper outfit,
reveals a good deal about its pur-
poses, among other ways through
it's contacts. Included is the
National Association Of Real Es-
tate Boards, powerful In the real
estate lobby here, which distribu-
ted 5000 copies of the founda-
tons pamphlet, Roofs and Cell
ings", against Federal rent con-
troll.
During the negotiations, Mr..
Read, in a Dear Herb" letter to
Herbert U. Nelson, chief factotum
in this real estate organization,
wrote: There is one paragraph
in this whole thing that worries
me, as well as the rest Of us here"
referring to the phamplet. While
objecting to rent control, the two
authors - Milton Friedman and
George j. Steigler-argued in the
offending paragraph that what
is fundamental is 'long-term
measures to reduce the inequality
Of income and wealth." saying,
in part:
"For those, like us, who would
like even more equality than there
is at present, not alone for hous-
ing but for all production, it is
surely better to attack directly
existing inequalities in income and
wealth at their source than to
ration each of the hundreds of
services and commodities that
compose our standard of living"
Asked for Deletion.
Mr.. Read asked the authors to
delete that paragraph. They re-
fused. So he fixed. up an editors
note in the effort to take out the
sting. 1t said. among other things,
in explanation: "It means that,
even from the standpoint of those
who may put equality above JUS
tice and liberty. rent controls are
the height of folly!'" This foot
note, he said would appear in the
pamphlet land in your 100000
copies" Then he concluded to
Mr.. Nelson:
"This information Is passed on
to you to take care of any criti-
cisns should they be aimed at
you. No one except a sharp, free
enterpriSer economist would catch
the offending paragraph, but then
our works are supposed to be above
criticism by a free enterpriser."

Your Own Hobby Hour

Something New! has been added
to the Downtown YWCA's Club
Program this fall - Thursday Mite
Workshop Clubs. These clubs not
only give girls a chance for fur
ther instruction in their favorite
hobby, but they also offer the fun
and friendship opportunities of
club-life. Ceramics, leathercraft,
piano or amateur art are offered
for the workshop class time.
After "class" the social hour
gives time for discussing common
interest problems or planning for
special events and projects. You
elect your own club officers and
help decide your own program.
Come join the gang of amateur

Home Week
Plans Ready
ForSept. lO-l7'

Builders in more than 200 cities,
and thousands of building ma,
terial dealers in smaller commu-
mites now are completing plans
for National Home Week. Sept:
1917.
Builders will have hundreds of
houses where the public can see
the latest in design, building techl
niques, equipment and furnish
ings. Building material dealers in
small towns will be holding open
house" where the newest in mai
terials can be seen. :,
Leaders of the National Retal4
Lumber Dealers Association and
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards for the first time
will co-sponsor the nationwide
demonstration with the National
Association of Home Builders.
National Home Week was con-
ceived two years ago by E. G.
Gavin. editor of American Build
er, as dramatic way to portray
the progressiveness and know
how of the building industry.
He said, 1.-THE building indus
try, effectively throttled by con-
trolls during World War IL, faced.
an unparalleled demand for new
housing with its labor forces dis
organized and with inventories
non-existent. Unable to produce
housing overnight at low prices,
! the industry was labeled incom-
petent and archaic. Public hous-
| ing was proclaimed as the only
answer. That was the situation in
1948 when National Home Week
was first observed, but the build
ing industry has effectively an
sWered the critics by building
nearly 100000 new dwelling
units in three years.
Fl "Once again the building indus
try is threatened with controls to
conserve materials for defense" !"
| Mr.. Gavin said. "The industry
accepts necessary controls with
out protest, but does ask that
building be restricted no more
than absolutely necessary. Other
wise, the chaotic conditions that
followed the last war will be re-
peated.
"Just as National Home Week
has been effective in answering
those who have been criticizing
the building industry, so can this
annual demonstration be effective
i'm keeping the public informed OF
the industry'S progressiveness and
ability to produce the housing
this country needs at reasonable
prices. Public understanding and
appreciation is the only effective
bulwark against socialized hous-
.ng," Mr.. Gavin concluded.

Food for Thought

Last week this column offered
some suggestions for meal service
to people who eat alone. Now we
continue with some specific items
which may assist in making this
problem easier.
A top of the stove oven is one
of the most useful gadgets for
cooking in small amounts. A little
experience with one of these ovens
with or without portable ther-
mometer will soon indicate the
temperatures and you will be able
to regulate the heat with the ex-
actness of thermostatic control.
DO keep in mind that we recon-
mend one day elapsing between
the appearances of most foods.
This is a good rule to follow for a
general practice. However, there
are times when your own tastes
will dictate otherwise. Many fam
lilies enjoy cold chicken or turkey
for supper when the bird was
served hot at dinner. In fresh
tomato and corn season, we'd feel
cheated if a day were skipped in
their being served.
But in the case of the small
meat loaf, skip a day. In most
cases it will taste better if not re-
peated too soon. Two or three

Good refrigeration will retain the
food value.

beans. Bake them slowly so that
the added flavor is absorbed by
the beans The average person
can eat one can of beans in two
or three servings. If you can't,
take the extra serving to some
other person who eats alone.

''Scare-Buying" Noted in De-
partment Store Sales Dur
ing Month of July
EMPLOYMENT UP

The outbreak of fighting in Kor-
ca near the end Of June had a Wis
IbIe effect on business in this dis
frict during July. Department
store sales spurted as consumers
went on a "scare-buying" spree.
Industrial buying also increased
and as a result of the combined
pressure, wholesale and retail
prices rose. Production, employ
ment, and payrolls were consider
ably above 1949 levels as were
bank loans, deposits, and invest
ments. Despite shortages of ma
terials and rising costs, construc-
tion maintained it's vigorous pace
The war and rearmament activity,
however, had little effect on the
output of anthracite for it fell
considerably below that of last
year.
Smyrna times., 1950-09-14

Although the demand for their
products was greater, Pennsylvan-
ia factories did not expand their
output in July. Shutdowns Of
plants for vacations were largely
responsible for the failure to in
crease production. However, ply
sical output was 10 per cent above
that of July, 1949. Heavy goods
industries were especially busy;
the vital rubber and iron and steel
plants were working at about top
speed turning out their much
sought-after products. The high
level of production helped to keep
factory employment steady. A de-
cline over the previous month in
the number of workers in the
heavy goods industries was offset
by increased employment in fac
tories making nondurables. A
strike sharply reduced employ
ment in the automotive field. The
combination of high employment
and record weekly earnings push.

that of last year.
