RehabiIitaiino Homes
Instead Of .Razing
Urged for SIums

Stun rehabilitation can go
ahead without the necessity of
tearing down houses and causing
families to move, a noted au-
thority on the subject said here
last night.
c. Yates Cook, director of
Housing Rehabilitation for the
National Association OF Home
Builders and principal organizer
of the famed Baltimore Plan,
said this can be done by improv-
ing existing homes while people
are living in them.
Raps Surveys.
He also declared that surveys
are an excuse for laziness."
Mr.. Cook spoke at a meeting
of the District League of Women
Voters, held in the assembly
room of the Washington Post.
He urged every civic group to
have a housing committee to
ask questions at the District
Building, in relation to slum re-
Mobilization.
Health Gains.
Mr.. Cook pointed out that,
from l945 to 1883, 1900 dwellings
were rehabilitated in 100 Balti-
more blocks, on a block-to-block
basis. During that time, he
said, there was 81 per cent drop
in tuberculosis cases, and a 40
per cent drop In cases involving
rat bites.
BY every civic group being rep
resented at special times in the
District Building, Mr.. Cook said
appropriate action can be OBJ
tanned.
The smallest support for i'm
proving blighted areas came
from churches and medical
groups, Mr.. Cook added. Much
reliance was placed on the CO.
received from industry
He pointed out that SO million
out OF 43 million homes through
out the United States are sub
standard. or need some repairs.
Mr.. Cook was introduced by
Mrs. Walter Tobriner of the
league. Discussion after the talk
was moderated by Guy Greer.

100000 Job|ess
In Nation, Highest
Level in ; Years

Unemployment over the coun-
try this month reached a total
of 1850, 000.- the highest in three
years and about 100000 over the
December figure, the Commerce
Department said today.
The latest Census Bureau sur
vey rejecting conditions in the
week ending January 9 also
showed that total employment
dropped about million in a
month to a level of 59.8 million.
The Bureau said that a large
part of the rise Of unemployment
was seasonal. but conceded that
q sizeable part of it was due to
layoffs in the automobile and
other manufacturing industries
which normally report gains at
this season.
The December unemployment
total was 100000. The Janu-
airy figure for the unemployed
was ass, 900 over that of January
Of last year.
Top Since January, 1881.
Census officials reported that
the number of unemployed this
month was the largest since
January. 1851, when Bureau es-
Inmates placed the nunner of
jobless at about 2.5 million.
The postwar unemployment
high was reached in February.
1850, when 4.6 million persons
were without jobs. That was
shortly before the Korean War
brought a sharp upturn in en-
ployment.
The December to- January in
crease in unemployment. reflect
ing among other things the
layoff of temporary Christmas
season workers, was smaller than
a year ago. Last. year the De-
cember- to-January increase was
over 100000.
100000 Drop in Year.
The census survey also showed
that the Nations total work
force-thoSe considered working
or available for work - had
dwindled about 100000 since a
year ago. Normally. because of
population gains, the work force
increases about 100000 a year,
The census report said that in
addition to those listed as unem-
pioyed there we're about 275,000
persons who in the survey week
this month were on temporary
layoffs from jobs

conference Of both United Ma
tons members and "the nom
member StateS"-in other words,
Red China.
Mr.. Molotov earlier yesterday
had appeared to clear the way
for the discussion on Germany
by agreeing to postpone until
later secret sessions his original
proposals that the Chinese Reds
be invited TO Big Five confer
ence on world problems.
The three western ministers
had rejected such a conference.
but finally said meetings with
Asian nations on strictly Asian
problems might be possible.
Thus they were willing to talk
further In Secret-and later
while going ahead in the main
conference sessions with the
German and Austrian questions
which they insist are the confer
ence's main tasks.
Then came Mr.. Molotov's dis
armament maneuver. The con-
ference adjourned immedia tely
after he introduced his resolu-
ton. without debating it.
Seen as Propaganda Trick.
American sources viewed the
new disarmament proposal as
a Soviet propaganda trick to
impress Red China and to put
new pressure on the West for q
meeting bypassing the United
Nations, which won't admit
Peiping.
The Russians have made many
disarmament proposals in the
U. N. in the past. The West has
turned them all down as paper
promises rather than secure safe
CARDS against war-breeding vio-
lations.
Further discussion OF the Rus
sian proposal for Big Five talks
was put of after Mr.. Dulles
proposed that the Big Four take
up the question in secret ses-
sions apart from their work on
Germany and Austrian indepen-
dence. The secret get-togethers,
he said, could start not later
than next Thursday.
Mr.. Molotov finally indicated
acceptance Of this idea. but re-
served the right to put forward
again his idea earlier yesterday
that a committee be appointed
to seek understanding on the
Big Five question.
Big Five Issue Alive.
The result of all the maneuver-
ing Is that the Big Five idea re.
mains a live issue before the
conference. It also leaves Far
Eastern problems centering on
Communist China open for dis
cussion in the secret talks.
And 1t affords Mr.. Molotov full
opportunity for be hin d-the-
scenes bargaining. as opposed to
the Western position that each
issue should be decided on its
merits.
Western authorities would not
be surprised to see Mr.. Molotov
take the line that unless the
West agrees to meet with Red
China, solutions will be difficult
IN Europe. Or he might hint at
concessions in the Far East in
exchange for Western yielding on
Germany.

Arlington Employees
Will Be Requiredto
Take Loyalty 0aths

All employees Of the. Arlington
County Board and the School
Board will be required to take q
loyalty oath when a loyalty pro-
cedure is developed.
The School Board last night
voted to ask Supt. Edward Rut-
ter to cooperate with County
Manager A. T. Lundberg in de-
veloping, a loyalty program ito
be applied equally to all county
employees and. all School Board
employees who have not signed
the teachers loyalty oath provi-
sion as prescribed by the super
intendent of public instruction
Of the State of Virginia"
The County Board. at its last
meeting. asked Mr.. Lundberg to
bring in his recommendations
for setting up an employees 10y
atty procedure.
The School Board also resolved
that Mr.. Rutter inform the State
superintendent of public in
struction "of our desire to CO.
operate with the State Board of
Education in any change the
board may prescribe in the 10y
atty oath or loyalty procedure
for the teachers of the State of
Virginia"
A revised loyalty oath for
teachers had been urged by an
Arlington Woman's Democratic
Club. A special School Board
committee headed by Board
Member Erwin r. Draheim re-
ported that the present teach
ers' oath is prescribed by the
Virginia Department of Educa-
ton.
1T follows that a local school
board has no authority to change
the loyalty oath provision in con-
tracts with teachers" the COM
mittee said.
1T is not only imperative that
any disloyal employe be promptly
dealt with" the committee said,
but it is essential that any sus-
picion as to the loyalty Of one
person should not be allowed to
cast suspicion on the more than
1900 loyal employees of the board.
Such unjustified suspicion of
the whole group can do inesti-
mable harm to morale and to
the efficiency of the operation
of the whole school system"
