45,OOO-Ton Ship
 Wisconsin Stuck In Hudson River

NEW YORK, (P)-The mighty 45, 5,O00-ton battleship Wisconsin drifted aground in the Hudson River opposite Manhattan today and then Is puffing towboats pulled her free in marine drama witnessed by thousands.
 A strong downstream tide held her fast on the New Jersey shore just south of Edgewater for ap- proximately two hours.
 The battleship came into New York harbor yesterday from Hal- fax, N.S., on a training cruise and was moored fore and aft to floating buoys.
 A Navy spokesman said unof- ficial information indicated her stern line snapped and that her end swung around and touched bottom off the Jersey shore.
 From office buildings on the New York side and from Palisades Park and other vantage points on the Jersey side, thousands of spec tators watched the little towboats push and haul to get the huge gray-hulled vessel back into mid stream.
 Capt. Thomas Burrowes of Washington, D. C., commanding the battleship, could be soon on the bridge directing operations.

Quake Knocks Out Hawaiian Island Water Supply

HONOLULU, (P-The heaviest earthquake ever recorded on the volcano island of Hawaii cost the Kona coast district most of its treasured water stores-with two months of normal drought ahead.
 Property damage was estimated at between $750,000 and $1,000,- 900, but the water loss was the most critical.
 The quake jared the largest of the Hawaiian islands in early morning darkness yesterday. It wrecked or damaged more than 200 wooden water storage tanks 20 of them on one cattle ranch.
 Each of 200 families along a 30- mile stretch of the Kona coast, on the west slope of Mauna Loa vol cano, had at least one tank for storing drinking and household water.
 The Kona coast is the driest sec ton of the islands.
 The tremor was centered deep below the undersea slope of mas sive Mauna Loa. The volcano rises 13,680 feet above sea level and slants 18,0O0 feet under water to the ocean floor.
 There was no evidence of any impending eruption by Mauna Loa one of the worlds most active vol canoes.

THIs is the story of the biggest private
Il spending operation in the world.
1t got its start 40 years ago when Henry
Ford filled the roads of the land with flivvers.
Henry was in business to make money. He
made it and kept it. and so did his son Edsel.
A year ago. when their estates were settled.
it was disclosed that they had amassed one
of the greatest family fortunes of all time -
more than 500 million dollars.
Every cent was earmarked. to be spent for
human welfare" through tax-free agency
known as The Ford Foundation. If the tax
collector doesn't remember Ford kindly, a lot
of other people will.
All grants are out of the Foundations in
come The directors may dip into the half
billion dollar principal at their discretion,
but are in no hurry to do it. for the interest
alone is expected to be at least $25,OO0,OOO
year.
The trustees of the Foundation, head
ed by young Henry Ford III, first faced
the problem Of how to spend this vast
amount. There were plenty of worthy causes
looking for support, but it seemed to the trus-
tees. after months of study, that the time had
come to look at human needs from new
angle. For hundred years, men had made
dramatic progress in science, industry, trans
port, communications. health and all manner

literally: Here is half-billon dollars in
search of spender."
The search was over when they found Paul
G. Hoffman. This energetic 6O-year-old exec
utive had been president of the Studebaker
Corporation and later head of the Committee
for Economic Development, private group
of liberal business leaders which contributed
so greatly to the reconversion of American
industry after the war. Moreover, he was
one Of the most lavish land most re-
specteD spenders in public lifes he had
just finished spending 10 billions in two
and half years as Administrator for
ECA. Hoffman knew the value of dollar,
but, as his book, Peace Can Be Won, showed,
he also knew the value of human being.
Hoffman took Office as Director of The
Ford Foundation on January of this year.
His instructions were: Collect the best brains
you can find and start spending" One of the

best brains he could find was Dr. Robert M
Hutchins, former Chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, and one of the nations lead
ing educators. Others were Chester G. Davis,
ex-president of the Federal Reserve Bank of
St. Louis, and H. Rowan Gather, San Fran
cisco attorney and chairman of the Rand
Corporation. A fourth, recently added, was
Milton Katz. legal scholar. expert on inter-
national relations and former Ambassador
at-large for ECA. In the eight months since
Hoffman and his team have worked together,
they have pumped grants ranging from
$4,000 to 100000 into % projects.
Some Strange Requests
BECAUSE the announced aims of the Foun-
alton cover so much ground, a good many
people have mistakenly come to think of it as
a grab bag. available for the financing of
almost anything. Applications for grants
have come IN at the rate of $lOO, ,OOO, 600 per
month, include some bizarre requests. One
man asked support for plan to improve the
race by financing marriages for college stu
dents - they would produce bright children

brother, nearing 70 and unhappy about it,
would be cheered if he could have banjo les
sons for year. An inventor wanted capital

of gadgetry, including automobiles. But in
the process they appeared to have created
as many horrors as blessings, and their trou-
bles, far from diminishing, were compounding.
Weren't their critical problems social rather
than physical? Wasn't it time to give men
not just more gadgets, but some practical
help in their struggle to live, peaceably and
constructively, with one another?
Who Would Spend It?
HE question answered itself Accordingly,
the Foundation trustees determined the money
would be most wisely spent in promoting
progress and understanding in five areas:
peace, freedom and democracy, economic
well-being, education and human behavior.
Now they faced another problem. Who
was to take charge of so huge and ambitious
project? For some months and perhaps for
the first time in history, it could be said quite

The Headlight apparently,

speed-up are good in the Soviet;
but an escalator clause, moving
wages UP with the cost of liv-
ing, and an Improvement factor
that moves wages UP whether
living costs rise Or not, is bad in

EEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
FOR ALL VETERANS
1t is expected that some en-
ployers will argue against re-.
instating for mel servicemen
who have received undesirable
discharges because the Selective
Service Act of 1948 states that
unemployment rights only apply
to those servicemen who receive
honorable discharges. However,
| the federal courts have ruled
that union contracts which ex-
tend benefit greater than that
outlined in the Selective Serv-
| ice Act must be adhered to and
followed.
The Seven Point program ap-
proved by the UAW-CIO Inter
national Executive B Ga r d in
cludes unemployment rights for
all veterans, regardless of the
type of discharge they receive.
Many World War III veterans
received undesirable discharges
for infractions of military rules
and regulations which w0u ! d
have been considered only a
minor violation of civil laws,
had the violation occurred in
civilian life. Many World War
III veterans were taken before
military courts and were tried
and defended by commissioned
officers. In the majority of cases
these commissioned offic c er
were not qualified to Ell h e r
render a decision or to defend
a serviceman, because in civilian
life their daily contact or work
was not in the judiciary field.
This is strengthened by the
fact that high percentage of
undesirable d c h a 6 eS have
been corrected by a qualified
Military Disc harge Review
Board following the return of
World War III veter ans to
civilian life. The actions of per-
sons while in military service
should in no way disqualify him
from his seniority rights a n
other benefits that he was able
to establish under union con-
tracts prior to his entrance into
the armed forces.
