AT press conference ar
ranged by CIO for unemploy-
ed workers, reporter turned
to a Connecticut girl, asked
her: well, what do you want
the government to do about
it,"
And she snapped back: II
want the government to find
a way for me to get work"
First three CIO unemployed
delegations-from Massachu-
sets, Connecticut. Utah-had
generally similar stories.
Jobs are scarce; people laid
off don't have a place to turn
for more work; unemploy-
ment compensation has run
out. For instance:
Lawr ence, Massachusetts:
Textile mills are working
short weeks; thousands of
workers are desperately seek
ing employment.
Brass Valley" Connecti-
cut: New equipment installed
during recent years is turning
out same amount of produc-
ton, without need for serv-
ices of one worker out of
four. In some departments,
workers with 1920 years
seniority are being laid off.
Park City, Utah: Lead and
zinc mines, in this one-indus-
try town, used to employ
1,400 men. In July 1949, they
shut down completely: today,
fewer than $50 people have
jobs. There's no other work in
town or for miles around.

The Co~Op
Corner

It probably won't be much of
a surprise to many of us con-
surners to learn that the bread
we buy from commercial bakers
today is not as good as the bread
we bought ten years ago. In
fact, it isn't as good as the bread
grandmother used to bake 40
years ago as far as nutrition is
eApcerned. In spite of full page
to the contrary, today's
bread won't keep a rat alive for
long, let alone a human being.
The Food and Drug Admins
tration, after 20 thousand pages
of testimony ending in 1949, is
still trying to figure out what to
do about this immense change in
the identity" of bread. The
baking industry has managed to
bypass every previously accept
ed ingredient of good bread to
the extent that today's product
is classed by nutrition experts
as "purposeless perfection of
technology" With chemical
softeners and shortening ex-
tendsr today's bread will
stay soft indefinitely, look like
million and defy the housewife
latest whether it is stale or not.
She's defeated in trying to COM
pare it with another loaf of SUI
perior quality, and often chooses
the glamorous loaf over the
honest loaf.
There is a happy ending to
this story. A '(yardstick" bread
has been developed for use in
institutions and school lunch
programs. Already comparatively
owned bakeries are selling this
superior loaf and baking it at
about the same cost. Laboratory
rats fed on this new loaf thrive
and grow. Fed on the usual COM
mercial white loaf they pine
away and die.

and grow on, help build Toledo

Denmark Has
Solved Razor
Blade Problem

The Copenhagen firm ScanfOrs
with the cooperation of the Tech
meal High School of Denmark, has
now succeeded, by chemicO-techni-
cal experiments, in producing an
apparatus which can measure the
cutting power of razor blades and
surgical instruments, thus solving
a problem which steel scientists
the world over have been trying
to solve, UNNECESSARILY, for many
years.
Artificial beard-stubs, whose
quality is kept uniform by chem
ical process, are cut through by
the blade or instrument in a cham
Der where the air is kept at the
same temperature all the time by
thermostat control. Intricate ap-
paratus is used to measure the re-
Sistance that has to be overcome
before the blade cuts through.
Scanfors is now testing razor
blades from all over the world,
learning everything there is worth
knowing about them.
1t has been proved for instance,
that a blade that is strOpped on
the palm of the hand about ten
times regains much of its original
sharpness, and that blades should
not be dried on a towel because it
leaves tiny scars on the cutting
surfaces.
Where does all this lead to? To
sharper razors, to less raging in
the bathroom, and to the suburb

before the $40 arrives :.

House Member Hits
'Timid' U. 5. Policy
On Civilian Defense

AS O Senate committee pre-
pared this afternoon to hear Dis
trict officials urge an increased
appropriation for civilian defense
here, a House member criticized
the "timid and unrealistic policy
of keeping civilian defense In
formation locked up in a Wash
ington Office"
Representative Lane. Democrat,
of Massachusetts,. did not refer
specifically to District civil de-
fense or the Presidents proposal
Of decentralization Of various Gov
ernment agencies here. He de-
clared, however, that Federal
authorities are withholding vital
information that States and cities
need to set up immediate civilian
defense programs.
The National Security Resources
Board Is completing an overall
civil defense plan for release this
month. probably in about two
| weeks.
Awaits Official Approval.
The plan, it was said, will have
to have the approval of Secretary
johnson and President Truman
before it is released. Booklets
dealing with specific problems,
and with those faced by certain
regions and cities are to be pre-
pared later.
Meanwhile, the Senate Appro-
priations Committee planned this
afternoon to take up some ~ Dis
trict items, including a $4,000
proposed allotment for civilian de-
fense here. Those items are con-
tanned in a SIC billion supple
mental appropriation bill that the
House passed last week after slash
ing a District civilian defense re-
quest from $500 900 to $4,000.
District officials tentatively were
scheduled to be heard shortly
after 2 pm.
Mr.. Lane told the House that
many communities have urgently
requested the "know-how" on
civilian defense from Federal
agencies.
For some mysterious reason,
he continued, 'it is considered so
top-secret and hush-hush that
the cities of the United States are
as defenseless as If their Govern
ment never had the knowledge Of
how to provide measure of pro-
tective security. The American
people are not children. They
should not be kept in the dark
on matters that are of vital con-
cern to the safety OF. their work,
their homes and their lives"
Committee Chairman McKellar
said he was uncertain whether
the committee could complete
work on the measure today.
AS sent over from the House
the bill contained cuts in several
District items besides the civil
ian defense fund. These included
a reduction from $l13, 100 to $75,-
900 for the District Rent Control
Administration, drop from
$685. 900 to $500, 900 in the Metro
politan Police request for putting
into effect a five-day week, and
a slash from 100000 to $50 900
for day-care centers, with iflstr1c-
tions to "liquidate" them by Oc-

Meanwhile, Senate and House
conferees met today in an effort
to compose differences between
bills providing money for school
construction in the so-called ''im-
pact" communities.
1t has been estimated that per-
haps $3.50 million would be pro-
vided for buildings over q three
year period. The distribution of
funds would be on a pupil basis
and the Federal Government may
bear up to 10 per cent of con-
struction costs.
This is companion measure to
the maintenance bill.
These measures received strong
Endorsement, from educators in
nearby Virginia and Maryland.
They were introduced after public |
hearings conducted by a House
subcommittee of which Repre-
sentative Bailey, Democrat, of
West Virginia is chairman. The
educators pointed out that big
Federal establishments like the
Pentagon and the various air bases
attract thousands of employees.
Many of these workers have chill
dren who enroll in the public
schools.
While the communities are re-
quired to expand their school sys-
TENS for these new pupils they

ceived from property on which
Federal installations are placed.

The text of the White House
statement today on the request
for operating funds was as fol-
lows:
In anticipation of final Con-
gressional action, the President
submitted to Congress today a |
request for $23, BAT 900 to pay for

children who reside on tax

Federal activities.
This estimate is composed of
$23 million for grants and $347,-

"The request is based on HR
