Housing For Veterans
A number of major cities take note of in-
creasing "buyer resistance" to high real es-
sate prices and a definite decline in the turn-
over of homes at present price level st means
Reduced to its simplest terms, it means
people refuse to pay the asking price any
mere it could mean that if the high cost of
construction continues, building activities
will slow down. Risk capital isn t likely to
be used to create something for which there
is a declining demand. ,
Present cost of houses in most communt
ties could attract only a "desperation mar-
ket. People have to be desperate for a place
to live to become buyers under such condl-
tions. . _
Meantime, there is the problem of housing
Gis and their families, which is the declared
concern of congress. But if house construe-
tion declines or stops in the face of a buying
strike, where will veterans' housing come
from? . 1 0
In Abilene, the answer is partially supplied
by the plan of the local VFW post to acquire
certain buildings at Camp Barkeley tombe
converted into living units for veterans.
der this plan, these buildings would be mov ed
to town and converted to apartments, not
permanent, but temporary, so that they
would not impair the continuing market
for housing in a growing community after
the emergency is past. In this way at leas
112 GI families would be housed.
Many months ago this newspaper suggest-
ed that the community move to acquire Camp
Barkeley buildings for the housing of vet-
erans. It's a little late now, but let us hope
not too late. .. , — —
Needless to say, VFW needs help and en-
couragement in its undertaking. It is the
first really concrete move to get our war vet-
erans and their families in out of the rain.
As such, it should be pushed hard to a
quick realization.
troops out of China, but made no reference
to the presence of Russian troops in parts of
Manchuria, nor of the longterm political in-
filtration of North China by the Moscow
brand of communism. .. . . .
Stalin's reference to the atomic bomb
comes under the heading of "interesting.
He belittles it as a decisive weapon of war
deplores its "monopolist ‘ control, but in the
next breath seems to say, oh, well, we 11 have
our own atomic bomb pretty soon anyway.
Undoubtedly this paragraph in the Stalin
interview was for home consumption; but
even so, there is promise in his remarks for
he comes out flatly in favor of outlawing
the bomb. That suggests the possibility of
getting together with Russia for interna-
tional control, on a basis mutually satistac-
xil in all. Stalin's interview should con-
tribute to a better understanding, and pos-
sibly lead to a new era of cooperation.

Russia Speaks
The slim, cool, tight-mouthed Texan, Will
Clayton, undersecretary-acting secretary of
state, found Prime Minister Stalin's replies
to a British newspaperman's questions ter-
ribly interesting and very important."
That probably sums up the average Ameri-
can's reaction to the Stalin interview.
It was very important because it reflected
a mellow, reflective attitude on the part of
the head man in Russia. Stalin could see
no present danger of war—those who speak
of war are propagandists, serving their own
interests.-
Russia, he said, was not organizing Ger-
many as a threat to the Western powers,
simply because it was not to Russia s interest
to do so. It is not directing the policies of
communist governments in the little coun-
tries under Moscow's wing. (Better use a
shaker of salt on that one.) Nor does Russia
fear encirclement by Britain and the U. S.,
for that is now physically impossible.
Stalin thought the U. S. should get its
St. James' Court. .
Naturally this left a vacancy in London,
so the hounds of speculation immediately got
busy again. Who would succeed Harriman?
Answers started pouring in from every
point of the compass, and hardly any two
agreed. Among those mentioned was Joe
Kennedy, who held the post at outbreak of
war but got in Dutch with the British by
his pessimistic remarks on the ability of
Britain to survive the Nazi blows. Mr. Ken-
nedy possesses at least one qualification
necessary to any frontrank ambassador- he
is wealthy. Only the very rich can exist on
an ambassador's salary and expense account.
Gen. Mark Clark was also mentioned, as
were a number of others, including Joe
Davies, former ambassador to Moscow. The
most interesting guess was Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, widow of FDR. Most likely bar to
her choice: The fact that she sympathizes, if
she does not mingle with, the same leftist
elements that Mr. Wallace runs with.
Mr. Truman says nothing, but he is likely
to come up with a selection that will surprise
everybody, just as he did with Messrs. Krug
(successor to Ickes), Mr. Vinson as chief jus-
tice and Mr. Harriman as successor to Wal-
lace—all acclaimed as excellent choices.

CHILDS for foreign coun-
tries in the first six months of
this year.
We left La Guardia on the in-
augural transatlantic flight of
the Scandinavian airlines sys-
tem. A little less than 24 hours
later, we came down in Copen-
hagen in the midst of rain and
fog. An hour and a half later
we were in Oslo. Then the final
stop was Stockholm.
A short time ago this would
have been accounted a miracle.
It is less than two decades since
Lindbergh thrilled the world
with his flight across the Atlan-
tic. Yet today it is routine.
Three American airlines and
five foreign airlines operate to
European ports out of La Guar-
dia field The pioneer Pan Amer-
ican operates ten flights. Ameri-
can Overseas twelve, TWA nine.
The foreign lines are Air France,
British Overseas Airways, KLM,
the Dutch line, Sabena, a Belgian
line, and now the Scandinavian
We system. _____
240 FLIGHTS WEEKLY
In addition to the flights to
Europe many are daily scheduled!
to Latin America and the Pacific.
There are 240 weekly flights to
all points in Latin America, ex-
clusive of Mexico. Pan Ameri-
can flies seven times weekly to
Honolulu and three times to
New Zealand.
Not only are these figures im-
pressive in the first year after
the war, but it is perfectly clear
that they will increase rapidly.
As of August 1st, there were 142
planes in foreign service. Cer-
tificates have been granted to
six other companies not yet
operating to foreign ports. The
growth has been so rapid that
the system of ports is hardly
geared to care for it, with in-
coming and outgoing passengers
milling about and customs in-
spection requiring far longer
than it should.
It is a strange commentary on
the age we live in that once the
powerful plane is in the air. all
confusions and uncertainties
seem left behind. Our Douglas
four-motored plane seems to fly
effortlessly at about 7000 feet.
The earth below is a curious
pattern of water and land that,
from our altitude, gives no sign
of human life.
Out on the bleak brown wastes
of Newfoundland is the Gander
airbase Here, too, overcrowding
is painful and the limitations on
present facilities apparent. Great
planes from Europe and the U.
S are lined up along the air-
port as passengers get a hurried
rest and a snack in what was
once the barracks for army air
forces crews flying the North
Atlantic. New and adequate
quarters for passengers in trans-
it are said to be in preparation.
"In transit" can mean a fairly
long time. An old friend encoun-
tered at Gander said he has
been there for two and a half
days. He had been playing bridge
with fellow passengers in the
crowded waiting room, with
travelers of every nationality
passing through—including chil-
dren who race through the cor-
ridors, restless at the prolonged
restraint in crowded quarters.
‘Bet you five'bucks you are
stuck here at least 12 hours."
said my friend
Ten minutes later, our plane
takes off in the gathering dusk
and fog Very quickly it is above
the overcast. On the far horizon
is the curtain of the Aurora Bo-
realis that seems to hang poised
in blackness, with yellow green
waves that rise and fall like the
waves of the sea.
We in the plane, with its
throbbing motors, have the sense
of being a tiny speck in the vast
universe. It is again a curious
commentary on our complex
civilization to be served an ex-
cellent three-course dinner by
pretty stewardesses as the plane
courses through the infinity of
the northern night.
As often as it may happen,
sunrise on the eastern horizon
will always seem a bit of magic
produced by the efficient crew
in the pilot's cabin. There is the
rocky coast of Ecotland, with a
white fringe of sea hemming it
around. Prestwick airbase, where
hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
can flyers and soldiers passed in
and out in the war years, is now
a rather staid, quiet port for
ships of peace to come and go.
In a few hours, Scandinavia is
seen between breaks in clouds
that for so many weeks have
plagued this part of the world
with incessant rain.
With the end of the flight,
there is a curious distortion of
the sense of time. It hardly
seems possible that we left New
York in the midst of a belated
heat wave little more than 24
hours before As we constantly
assure ourselves, we are in the
midst of the air age.
Yet, having been earthbound
creatures for so long, we cannot
bring ourselves to believe it.

NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-
(NEA)—In addition to national
shortages of meat and housing, a
national shortage of school
marms and masters has showed
up in Washington, and the Na-
tional Education Association is
swinging into action to see what
might be done about it.
From all over the country
come bad reports. Two hundred
schools to be
closed in Maine
for lack of
teachers. Forty-
eight schools
consolidated, but
still 750 teach-
ing vacancies in
Kansas. Twenty-
five hundred
sub - standard
substitutes hired
EDSON in Virginia, 2800
in Oregon, 5000
in Kentucky. Two thousand more
teachers needed in Ohio, 5000 in
Texas, 7000 in Georgia. In Nor-
walk. Conn., a teacher strike for
more pay.
What has happened is that
the number of college and uni-
versity students has, jumped
from last year's 1,400,000 to two
million, while in primary and
secondary schools the number is
up from 25 to 28 million. And
there are only 1,140,000 teachers
to train them, says N. E. A. sec-
retary Dr. Willard E. Givens.
To give all these 30 million
youngsters a smattering of book
learning, colleges are raiding
high schools for teachers, high
schools are raiding grammar
schools, city schools are raiding
country schools, and the rural
schools are either hiring poor
subs or closing down. Instead of
the normal one-in-200 teachers
being sub-standard and giving
instruction under temporary li-
censes to teach, the number is
now one-in-10. ____
WAR YEARS WRECKED
THE MACHINERY
The whole mess is the result
of five war years in which the
educational machine has gone to
pot Since Pearl Harbor, some
530,000 teachers have quit teach-
ing—an average of nearly 100,-
000 a year. In most cases they
were not replaced. Army and Na-
vy took their share because il-
literate men were too dumb to
fight. Marriage, retirement for
old age, and death took their
normal quotas of perhaps 25,000
a year, which was an average,
prewar annual turnover in teach-
ing ranks. Normal schools did
not turn out replacements for
either loss, because of reduced
high school and college enroll-
ment.
But by far the greatest casual-
ties in the teaching ranks were
for purely economic reasons.
Salaries paid teachers weren't
high enough to enable them to
pay their bills. They quit teach-
ing to take war jobs that paid
more money, says Dr. Givens.
Teachers' salaries have in-
creased from the prewar average
of $1400 to $2000 a year today.
But that's less than most day
laborers are getting now, and
even the average government
worker gets $2600. Without cast-
ing aspersions on anyone, teach-
ers should know more than eith-
er, or at least be paid as much.
BETTER PAY IS FIRST
RECOMMENDATION
Getting better pay to attract
more and better-educated peo-
ple into the teaching profession
is the crux of the whole situa-
tion, as analyzed by the nine-
member Commission on Teach-
er Education just organized in
Washington under the chairman-
ship of Dr. W. E. Peik, Dean of
the School of Education, Univer-
sity of Minnesota Almost the
first recommendation that the
commission came up with was a
proposal that minimum pay for
teachers be raised to the equiva-
lent of $45 a week for all 52
weeks of the year, or about $2400
annually. It was further recom-
mended that after 10 years, the
college-trained teacher should be
making $4000 a year.
Other recommendations are
that the work load be reduced
so that no teacher should be re-
sponsible for more than 25 or 30
students, in place of today's
classes of 40 and 50, that better
teacher pension plans be put in
force, and that standards be rais-
ed for those admitted to teach-
er-training.
The need for federal assist
ance is also being given a good
boost. The American education-
al bill is now put at two and a
half billion dollars a year. But
expenditures range from $35 a
year per student in the poorer
states to $169 in the more popu-
lous and richer states. To equal-
ize the educational opportunity,
federal aid of two billion dollars
a year is being advocated, and
will probably be proposed in the
next Congress.
Today's 30 million students
will increase to 34 million in the
next few years, according to
population studies. The birth
rate is up and more youngsters
are going to school for longer
periods. That will create a de-
mand for 200.000 more teachers.
And it takes from three to seven
years to train a good teacher.

NOTES OF A NOTSO-
INNOCENT BYSTANDER
The First Nights: The critical
sluggers came out of their aisle-
corners like Joe Louis, and the
week's initial entry served as
their Mauriello. The victim was
Victor Herbert's operetta, "Gyp-
sy Lady." Its melodic nuggets
were outnumbered by the script's
cliches. According to the gen-
eral critical opinion, there is
more punishment in the yarn
than there is entertainment in
the music. Only reviewer How-
ard Barnes was enthusiastic, re-
porting that "Herbert fans will
be gratified by this production"
. The other entry, "Hidden
Horizon," turned out to be more
frightful than frightening.
The Moom Pitchizz: “If I'm
Lucky" comes in on a buck and
wing escorted by a squad of
quips and lilts. The talented
crew included Vivian . Blaine,
Carmen Miranda and Phil Sil-
vers . . The March of Time's
atomic bomb issue is really a
pulse-whipper. Makes the inter-
est sit up like an exclamation
point ... A Frenchie christen-
ed "Extenuating Circumstances"
is a quicksilver comedy darting
from episode to episode with a
passable quota of belt-buckle
guffaws . . . "Rendezvous with
Annie” offers a fragile farce that
has the cast juggling soap bub-
bles . . . “Below the Deadline"
makes you think that motion
pictures have been talking for
20 years too long . : . "South of
Monterey” is a placid opus drip-
ping with banalities-. . "Russia
on Parade" is as dull as a Scotch-
man's only safety razor blade.

Freeman Chum, Chinese sage,
writes: "I received a terrific
bang out of Italy getting all over-
wrought over the Russian slur to
Italian fighting valor. I recall
back in 1940 and 1941 (when II
Duce was the big spafhetti there q
and Virginio Gayada his cheese) "
the remarks passed about the
fighting ability of the Americans.
Particularly vivid are these by
the Duce: ‘Americans are no
fighters. They are a race of play-
boys. They are better off in night
clubs. ‘Their army is a joke.'
These and others of even less ‘
complimentary nature were re-
ceived with great glee and mirth
by the Duce's mobs."

as clear as the mud diplomats
have been throwing at each
other.
Too many American leaders
are arguing about our foreign
policy when they should be ex-
plaining it.
Cocky G. B. Shaw once publicly
deprecated himself. He informed
a reporter: "In moments of V
crisis my nerves act in the most
extraordinary way. I size up
the situation in a flash, set my
teeth, contract my muscles, take
a firm grip on myself, and with-
out a tremor, always do the
wrong thing."

clarer led the ten of diamonds
and West covered, so Dr. Apfel
cashed three diamond tricks and
ruffed a small diamond. He then
cashed the queen of spades and
let the six of hearts over to dum-

He discarded the nine of
hearts from his own hand on the
diamond, and West was squeer-

good. He dropped the jack of

queen for the thirteenth trick.
