THE NEW FIVE YEAR PLAN

The calling of a Russian Congress In Moscow, the
announcement of fiveyear plan, and the visit OF
Chinese communist leaders, in Moscow all point to
phase in the cold war between the United States and Rus
sia These developments also be taken indication
that one phase of the cold has now ended. That
phase was the one in which communist military power
was practically unchaenged in Europe, by the United
States.
In the last two years western Europe and the United
States have made steady although slow towards
rearmament Today the United States and western Eu-
rope possess the military strength to make Soviet
sion COSTLY and thus that shorterm danger has ended
The new Russian fveyear plan and the calling of the
Russian Congress indicates the Russians looking to
the future and planning long, period, in their
effort to gain world domination.
1t is believed the Russians want to bring their indus
trial production up to point nearly equalng that
of the United States before engaging in with this
country the newest Soviet fiveyea plan succeeds 1855
production of steel in Russia will total about As million
tons That still less than half current T. S. production
though it many millions of than the Russians
producing at present Many experts expect the rate
expansion in the Soviet industrial field exceed that
in the United States. The Communists believe they
continue to increase their production totals and avoid
depression. They also believe that depression will
later in the United States and that this may
offer them their best chance to match U. S. production
totals
While one might find satisfaction because the
shortermed danger of Russian aggression to have
eased should Russian plans succeed the United States
will one day be faced with far serious Russian
threat This country will eventually be faced with huge
country, outnumbering in population, and equang
in industrial production When this day the United
States will face its greatest danger since the question
will not be of immediate preparedness one of the
possibility of defeating Russia in sustained conflict
likely between two countries separated by such large
distances The best insurance against such eventually
ind in
United States, which only be achieved if avoid
serious economic depressons The Communists believe
that we cannot and their threat is direct challenge to
our democracy and our leaders in government.

THIS ROCK
OF OURS
BY BILL Gi55

Kermit Levin, executive director
of the XIV Housing Authority, cor
rected me on a column that ran
last Friday regarding proposed
trailer camp.
Says Levin, The trailerS are
being placed in Key West through
the Public Housing Administration
which is located in Washington. 1t
will buy and install the trailerS
on Navy ground. The Key West
Housing Authority has nothing to
do with the deal"
My thanks to Mr.. Levin for his
correction as well as for an added
explanation of the difference be-
gencieS - Housing Authority and
Housing Administration.
If Levin is right in his explana
ton and he certainly ought to
know what he is talking about
since he is an executive director
- the proposed trailer camp will
be on out-and-out Navy project
Such being the case, pressure tC
block the camp will have to be
put on Washington and l doubt il
it could be applied successfully.
If the Navy hasn't learned by this
time that trailer camps are expen-
Sive, inadequate, and undesirable
methods of quartering their serice-
mems families, then they will just
have to waste more taxpayers
Money until it does learn its les
son.
Navy recruiting stories tell of
how the Navy can be depended
upon to watch out for its men. 1t
offers them good pay, homes, etc
Mybe these trailerS are the Nays
idea of a home - they're not mine.
The proposed project is going to
cost thousands of dollars to in
stall. More thousands to maintain.
Principal beneficiary will be the
statesmen and companies who pro-
provide the trailers to the govern
ment.
Roosevelt Blvd.
The roadside around the boule-
ward looks nice now that the Pub
lie Service Dept. has cleaned it
up. Keeping it looking that way
is a job for you and /.
Incidently, the modern way of
selling ice cream or soft drinks in
diSposable containers is convenient.
Such paper cups hardly make a
pretty sight when they are thrown
out in he streets, however.
Since the City lacks sufficient
STRENGTHENING equipment, every
one should try to cooperate by not
needleSSly throwing trash into the
streets. Places that sell such dis
possible containers might find it
good public relations to emphasize
this fact to the people by providing
more trash receptacleS aound their
business.

Business
Mirror
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-The debt Amer
leans owe on the things they are
buying on time continues to climb.
1t is at record high and ap-
preaching Is billion dollars, the
Federal Reserve Board reports.
Instalment credit jumped 464
million dollars in May after the
board removed curbs on it. June
saw another jump of $50 million
dollars, and July added 327 mil
lion. Americans now owe nearly
two billion dollars more for their
on-the-cuff purchases than they
did a year ago.
The recent sharp increase in
time buying shows up in other
ways than in Federal Reserve sta
tistics. 1t accounts for some of
the improvement in retail sales
of furniture, appliances, and au-
toS-to the delight of the retailers
involved.
And the better retail sales vol
ume is now working back to the
manufacturers of furniture and ap-
planes, who are more optimistic
now and predicting better days
ahead.
But the growth Of inStaiment
credit worries some in the business
world who think Is billion dollars
! is a lot of debt for American con-
SumerS to be shouldering. The
monthly payments drain pocket
books of cash for current pur-
chases. And inStallment debt would
become an acute problem if times
turned bad and workers were laid
off, and thus be unable to keep
up payments.
Installment credit firms, how
ever, stress the argument that
such credit is the only way to pro-
vide market for the mass produc-
ton of American goods.
The argument is based on hu-
man nature. Many people wouldn't
save the money needed to pay
cash and therefore wouldn't buy
the goods.
The Northern Trust Company
of Chicago points out in its Sep
TENDER business comment that the
need to keep up payments may
actually make people work harder.
Time buying also channels
spending into the article where
mass production is so essential for
lower prices"
The Chicago bank quotes Fed
eral Reserve figures to show that
nearly one fourth of all American
families bought something or other
on time during 1851, More than
half of car purchases are made on
inStallment or other borrowing.
And around half of the furniture
and major household appliances
sold are paid for little by little.
On the cuff buying appeals
most to families with money in
come of $1,000 to $1,000 a year,
the reserve board figures indicate
The Is billion dollar total of in
stallment aebt is actually below
normal, when total national in
come is taken into account ac-
cording to the American Finance
Conference, a national association
of $50 independent automobile
sales credit companies
While the amount of money owed
is much higher now than before
World War II, the AFC says that
the ratio Of inStallment credit to
national income is lower than that
reached in 1899 through l941.
Therefore, AFC says, installment
debt increases should cause no
alarm.

NOTES

this"
Those words rank with "What
Hath God Wrought" in their i'm
portance to the entertainment in
duStry. They were spoken almost
Is years ago by blackfaced min
Strel named AL Jolson in the first
talking picture. "The Jazz Singer
The picture premiered on Oct.
6 1927, at the Warner Theater in
New York. It revolutionized an in
duStry.
"The Jazz Singer" is again be-
ing made by Warner Brothers. BY
a turn of fate. a number of men
who worked on the original pic
ture are today helping to make
the new version. l asked some of
them for their memories of the
JolSon film.
1.-THE picture almost wasn't
made" remarked Harold McCord,
who cut "The Jazz Singer" and
is now head of the Warmers cut
ting department. "MoSt people do
not know that D. w. Griffith once
tried to make a picture with Jol-
son. After Jolson saw the first
couple of days work on film, he
was so disappointed that he took
off for Europe and never returned
to the picture.
"After watching the first few
days of film for The Jazz Singer,
JolsOn was again disappointed. He
didn't realize that all of the film
he saw of himself wouldn't be
used. He was ready to quit. But
we urged him to wait until he
could see some of the film as it
would appear in theaterS.
"The Warner Brothers were deS-
perate, because they had sunk all
their money into the sound expert
ment. So l stayed up all night to
cut enough of the picture for Jol-
son to see. He looked at it the next
morning and agreed to stay. If he
hadn't, sound might have been set
back for years"
Electrician Ralph Owen recalled
that the sound sequences, which
lasted only six minutes in the pic
ture, were shot in tin covered
stage. 1--WE had trouble lighting
the scenes, because the old lamps
made too much noise" he said.
Noise was big problem. The
director (Alan Crosland) would run
around wavinV a handkerchief for
silence. The camera was in a big
booth that locked like an iceh0x.
The sound was recorded Oh a thick
disc of wax # one take was
ruined, d layer of wax was shaved
off and we tried again"
Herbert Uimey) Plews, prop
man for the original film per-
forms the same duties on the pres
ent one. He recalled that George
Jessel. who created THE Jazz
Singer" on me stage, almost
played it on the screen. But Cros-
land and j. L. Warner wanted Jol-
son, who was the biggest thing in
show business then" Limey said.
The biggest problem l had was
hiding the microphone In those
days. the mike had to he right in
the set. so we had to hide it behind
curtains or flowers or something.
"All of us on the picture knew
how important it was, but a lot of
other people didn't. They said
sound pictures were just a fad. :"
Louie Ruben, who started as a
stage hand As years ago, has
worked on both versions of THE
Jazz Singer" He also worked on
JOlson stage show, Honeymoon
Express.
"Al was a regular guy" he re-
membered. "All the crew liked
him. He'd get right down on his
knees, but not to sing a nanny
song. He'd shoot craps with the
rest of us.

Freedmen's S Drive Set
For Blood Donations
To Meet Critical Needs

Freedmen's Hospital soon will
open a community wide campaign
for blood donations to meet criti-
cal needs.
Plans for the campaign were
announced yesterday by DR.. Paul
B. Cornely. medical director Of
the hospital. At the same time,
DR.. Cornely revealed that long
negotiations with the District Red
Cross seeking admission Of the
Negro hospital as full partici-
pant in the Red Cross blood bank
service had proved fruitless.
On Limited Basis.
Freedmen's is one of five Wash
ington hospitals who participate
in the Red Cross service on a lin
tied basis only.
Under the limited program, the
Red Cross supplies blood only to
patients who have donated blood
in the past, to relatives Of such
patients or patients employed by
organizations who maintain blood
mobile connections, DR.. Cornely
said.
Besides Freedmen's, other local
hospitals on a limited service basis
are Gallinger. Garfield, Doctors
and Providence. All Of them. in
Guiding Freedmen's maintain their
own blood banks.
Can't Fulfill Needs.
DR.. Cornely said that standing
applications by the other limited
participation hospitals for a
change in their status was one
obstacle in the way Of Freedmen's
admission to the Red Cross pro-
gram as a full participant.
In addition. he said, the Red
Cross currently is unable to keep
up with the needs Of the Is parti-
cipating hospitals.
Freedmen's needs are aggravat-
ed by the acute" type Of cases it
handles. DR.. Cornely said, includ-
ing accidents and assaults. In ad-
dition, he said, Freedmen's re-
ceives many patients from Mary
land and Virginia.
The planned campaign violates
an informal agreement with the
Red Cross not to compete in the
blood collection field, DR.. Cornely
admitted. but he said the Red
Cross had been informed Of the
decision.
