Snnog Problem
In Cleveland
Pail So Odorous

CLEVELAND, Nov. 13. -
This weeks visit to Cleveland
has left the Nations realtors
with at least one re-empha-
sized conviction - that smog
is one of the growing national
problems.
A combination of fog. fumes
and smoke lowered the boom
on delegates about 2 am.
Tuesday, waking many in
their hotel rooms almost as
If a giant gong had sounded.
From that point on, none
Of the activities of the 47th
annual convention Of the Ma
tional Association of Real
Estate Boards could quite be
separated from the pervasive
odor that clung to Cleveland.
"Is that smog?" one dele
gate asked. "It smells like coal
gas to me-"
Thought Hotel Afire.
Another delegate, awakened
by the odor as 1t sank to the
level Of the city, thought his
hotel was afire.
A Cleveland reporter said
he got his most impressive
quote Of the week when he
persuaded Mayor Norris Poul-
son of Los Angeles to call
Cleveland's smog Fighter"
than that in L. A.
I'm on expert on smog,"
said the Los Angeles Mayor.
But to Washington delegates
all such distinctions were aca-
demic. The whole town had
an odor as If so million
youngsters had madly dumped
together the contents Of every
vial and container Of so million
chemistry sets and then spread
the resultant mixture into
every nook and Granny Of the
city.
Howard Scott, chief of
Cleveland's 40-man Air Polu-
tion Control Division, said his
agency "foresaw this thing
coming" but couldn't very well
do anything about it.
Once in 700 Years.
"Our meteorologist told us
a combination of weather con-
ditions that would occur sim
ilarly only about once in every
TOO years was partly respon-
sible," he told The Star.
Chiefly responsible, appar-
emily, was Cleveland's highly
concentrated complex Of re-
fineries, steel mills, chemical
plants and other industrial
enterprises.
Mr.. Scott has a tough job
that has become considerably
tougher since it was held by
Kenneth Kugel, who Mr.. Scott
said now heads Washington'S
smoke abatement program.

gel at the head of your pro-
gram you'll never have any
