Article for Lustron
Paid Mccarthy at
Rate Of 81 a Word
BY the Associotsd Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 49,
A rough word count today showed
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, OF
Wisconsin received more than 81
a word for writing special article
for the defunct LuStron Corp.
The article-"Wanted: A DOL
lars Worth of Housing for Every
Dollar Spent"-covered 81 pages
Of a 94-page LuStron booklet en-
titled How to Own Your Own
Home"
The article contained about
5000 words. Lustron paid Sena-
tor Mccarthy $4,000 for it.
II just sold to the highest bid
der" the Wisconsin Republican
said.
Doesn't Set Precedent.
Senator McCarthy's writing does
not set any precedent. Many
Congressman and other high Gov
eminent officials have written
magazine articles and books ano
have received payment for them
Photostat copies of papers filed
in Federal Court show Senator
Mccarthy was guaranteed 10 cents
for each copy of the promotion
booklet sold up to 100000 copies
Lustron sold the booklet for IS
cents. Records showing total sales
have not been made public.
In a brief introduction, Senator
Mccarthy says the material for the
Lustron article was gathered dur
ing 30,000-mile tour of the Ma
ton as vice chairman of joint
congressional committee investi-
eating housing.
Article Called "Unethical."
This led Clyde Foraker, court
appointed receiver for the Govern
ment-subsidized housing plant, to
call the article "unethical."
Lustron borrowed $37.5 million
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and RFC threw it into re-
ceivership when the concern de-
faulted on payment of 1865 mil
lion. The plant now is in a legal
tangle in Federal Courts in Co.
lumbus and Chicago.
Referring to the price paid the
Senator for the article, Mr.. For
aker said:
"I'll bet he wouldn't have gotten
1t If he hadn't been United States
Senator"
Actually, the Mccarthy article
contained nothing unusual or any
material not generally made pub
lice until that time.
Offered 713 Cents.
Senator Mccarthy said another
housing firm offered 7l2 cents a
copy for the manuscript and Lus-
tron bid 10 cents.
The McCarthy-Lustron contract
for the article was signed on No
vember IL, 1948, and the Senator
was paid the $4,000 the same day.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. June To-
Connecticut Republicans squared
away today to knock Democratic
Gov. Chester Bowles and Senators
Mcmahon and Benton out of
Office next November with their
own ticket, headed by Representa-
tive John Davis Lodge.
Mr.. Lodge. COP gubinatorial
candidate, had as his principal
running mates former Representa-
tive Joseph E. Talbot, candidate
for the six-year Senate term
against Senator Mcmahon, and
Prescott S. Bush, Greenwich busi-
nessman and trustee of Yale Uni
versity. as candidate for the two
year term against Senator Benton.
The Republicans feel they have
a strong ticket-and they point
to the fact that in of years
when no presidential election is
on-the G. o. p. has almost invari-
ably won in Connecticut. They
recall. too, that Gov. Bowles Just
squeezed through to victory in
1948 with a lead of 2,225 votes
This. they insist, can be overcome
in the coming general election.
Bowles Is Versatile.
Gov. Bowles. however, is ver-
satile politician and promises
everything to many groups and
individuals. Senator Mcmahon is
admittedly strong and Senator
Benton. while a newcomer to
politics, can certainly play his full
part in financing the campaign
The Democratic ticket will not
lack for money to conduct its
campaign.
While the Republican organiza-
ton, headed by State Chairman
Clarence Baldwin and National
Committeeman Harold E. Mitchell
came through with flying colors
in the selection of the three prin-
cipal candidates on the ticket,
and also the selection of Former
Mayor Edward N. Allen of Hart

The First Swedish

years of exhaustive research, the
first Swedish glass down will soon
appear on the market. Manufac-
turers are the Billesholm-Ho

have been manufacturing so-called
glass wool, extensively used for
certain insulation purposes. The
new Swedish product is said to
fully equal the American types.
A development of glass wool,
and resembling therme wadding
in its unfinished state, glass down
is far superior to these two as
an insulating material. Owing to
it's great elasticity, coupled with
the chemical neutrality of glass,
it is being used to some extent as
filler for pillows for persons af-
flicted with allergic ailments, such
as asthma, etc, which makes them
representative to ordinary down.

mercial basis, production is al

Hearing Like Stage Comedy


The hearing, held before a pack
ed courtroom of intense spectators,
at times took on aspects of a stage
comedy.
The point of law was whether
any official has a right to ban
production of any kind book,
poem, musical composition or
movie = innocent of itself, because
of the character of the persons
producing it.
Judge HOdson held that Levine's
action was not supported by law;
that. in fact, the city ordinance
under which Levine acted referred
specifically to the moral quality
of any picture in question, rather
than the personal morals of any
persons connected with its pro-
ductiOn.
Levine, under cross-eXamination
by Frank P. Helsell, attorney for
r. K. O., said he banned the pic
ture because he was alarmed by
the number of letters and tele-
phone calls he received on the
subject and that he feared for the
peace and order of the community.
He added:
81 wanted to preserve the morals
of OUR people. especially young
sters, before it is too late"
Judge Hodson asked Levine:
"Where in the law does it say
public official may use such
discretion? 1t sounds like echoes
of a police state to me.
He termed it an astonishing
situation for a democracy and
added:
"Why do you suppose we have
objective laws in this country"
Earlier testimony indicated the
picture had been approved by the
Seattle board of theater supervis-
ors.
"In that case an injunction will
be issued" Judge HOdsOn ruled.

The fact that Americans, in

some bearing on Mrs. Akerman's
remark that in the United States
there is greater distance between

in the Scandinavian countries.

over there a literary event is
apt to make front-page news and
the people are informed in the
daily press about what the lead
ing writer's, artists, and men Of
intellectual repute are doing. Over
here when the press writes about
personalities all you get to hear
is what Clark Gable ate for din
ner that day and who Ava Gardner
has fallen in love with. And the
way people treat Ingrid Clergyman
as though she is in utter disgrace
certainly doesn't make good read
ing, especially when one out of
every four marriages in America
ends up in divorce"

ex-King Carol was the owner, hav-
ing acquired it anonymously in
