Small Town, U.S.A.
Many architects and community planners have long been convinced that the big cities are on their way out. For instance, New York City, the giant of them all, has experienced a tremendous exodus to the suburbs in recent years.
The American Institute of Architects has recommended concentration on the development of smaller communities ranging in size from 20,000 to 50,000. These would be "capable by cooperative action of providing facilities and cultural attractions heretofore limited to large and wealthy cities."
Well, the big cities are going to be with us for a long time. But the smaller communities are unquestionably becoming an ever greater factor in American life. The swift transportation of today, the modern attractive shops on main street, the handy branch bank on the corner, the miracle of radio and television to bring the outside world instantly into the home, and the fine theaters just a few blocks away — all these give life in the smaller places virtually all the advantages of the metropolitan centers without the rush and crush of city living.
Some people still prefer the big cities, but the trend toward the suburbs shows the growing desire for the casual, less complex way of life.

Although Washington Transit Strike Brings Out More Cars, Gas Dealers Claim Big Losses
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
WASHINGTON (UP) — What's new in Washington:
The transit strike in the nation's capital has posed some knotty problems. Least of which you would think of concerns the retail gas dealers. There are more cars on the street than anybody can remember. But Horace Walker, executive director of the Metropolitan Gas Dealers Association, is yelling "murder." Since the trolley and bus then walked away, he claims that gas men are showing a loss of between eight and 10 thousand gallons a day.
Walker claims that commonly a man will leave his car with the lady of the house. She will bounce around all day, using a lot of gas. Pop will pick up our neighbors, drive a few miles and park. Then he will do a turnabout, drive home all the while not using much of the things was dealers love to sell.
"We lose gas for two and a half other cars," Walker said, with considerable logic, "when the dad of the house drives and parks."
While President Eisenhower was out of town with his staff at the sur-mit in Geneva, Blair House, the official residence of wheel visitors from all over, was not idle. According to Victoria Geaney, who handles all of the arrangements, she has as much company as ever. Meanwhile Blair workmen are busy with paint brushes and such fixing up for what likely will happen. Our leaders must be like other travelers. "Next time you get to Washington, look me up and be my guest." That's the line. Mrs. Geaney has had long experience, and she never is left unprepared.
Until now I thought it was a mystery as to which special FBI agent did in John Dillinger, the Indiana hood. That was on July 22, 1934. Melvin Purvis headed the squad which shot down the gangster after a so-called "lady in red" put the finger on him. There were five slugs. According to my informant at the FBI, the man who fired the fatal bullet was Inspector Samuel P. Cowley, who later was killed at East Barrington, Ill., by gangster Baby Face Nelson.
LOOKING AHEAD
By DR. GEORGE S. BENSON
BILLIONS BEING WASTED
In this period during which our Federal government is spending about 70 per cent of all the tax money collected on national defense, veterans' benefits and international affairs, we need to do everything humanly possible to cut waste and secure the utmost efficiency in the operation of these major activities. For the years immediately ahead any drastic economy in government spending, and thus any sizable Federal tax cut, must be achieved in this area of national defense.
In the present fiscal year $40.4 billion is being spent on national defense, $1.8 billion on international affairs, and $4.6 billion for veterans' services and benefits. This totals more than $46 billion. Interest on the national debt takes another $6.3 billion. All the other services of East coast. This constitutes costly mismanagement in the Defense Department.
Coordination Needed
The Hoover Commission recommended that a civilian agency be set up within the Defense Department to administer purchasing, inventory control, and certain other services — now handled wastefully by less experienced Army, Navy and Air Force personnel. The Administrator of the new agency would be a presidential appointee. Billions can be saved in the efficient handling of supplying and servicing the widespread operations of the department.
The Defense Department employs 1,180,000 civilian personnel and approximately 3 million military personnel. It spends directly about $35 billion a year. It holds $66 billion of property in your birth.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 27 — Today, you have a powerful, pestious nature which by self-troll you manage to keep well check so that very few realize you have such a combustible nature beneath your calm and old exterior. Very few, except those closest to you, realize inner struggle which goes on between these two halves of your own self! The stars have been erous in bequeathing you talk and although there are apt to alternating cycles of good and fortune, it is likely that they will eventually conquer the earth.
You have a high sense of justice and honor, willing to go no further than half way when it comes making a decision. You are by nature kindly and understanding others and often strike a trueance, when others fail to interpret all elements of an argument properly. You have a talent for precise mathematical procedures probably use this method in everyday life, as well as professionally. You would do well in career which calls for initiative well as balanced judgment in dealing with people.
Yours is a magnetic person and you have a talent for conversation which makes much sought after as a guest any social function. You can very definitely "the life of party" when you choose to be other times, you are quite drawn and seem to sit and as a passive observer to everything that goes on! Your realistic life can spectacularly cessful and your marriage has one, provided you find that person who understands your personality.
Among those born on this side are: Archimedes, mathematician Harrison Fisher; artist; Vlad de Pachman, pianist; and Helen Belloc, author.
To find what the stars have store for you tomorrow, select birthday star and read the co-
ahead any drastic economy in government spending, and thus any sizable Federal tax cut, must be achieved in this area of national defense.
In the present fiscal year $40.4 billion is being spent on national defense, $1.8 billion on international affairs, and $4.6 billion for veterans' services and benefits. This totals more than $46 billion. Interest on the national debt takes another $6.3 billion. All the other services of the Federal government cost taxpayers $9 billion. There is ample opportunity to substantially reduce the $9 billion in domestic governmental spending, and we should do it at once; but the big cut obviously must come in the big defense operations where the big spending is.
Important to Taxpayers
The Hoover Commission's findings and recommendations in the area of national defense are thus vitally important to every taxpayer in America. Included in the findings were some fantastic facts relating to food and clothing procurement and handling by the Defense Department. During the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1955, about $1.3 billion was spent on food and clothing, and the total inventories exceeded $700 million for food and $2.7 billion for clothing. Why this cost is so huge can be partially seen in the following findings:
Although a Navy manual estimates that canned meat and poultry have a "keeping life" of 24 months, a study of 14 Naval supply depots showed: 719 month's supply of canned hamburger, 79 month's supply of canned beef and gravy, and a 75 months' supply of canned ham chunks. Another item: The Army paid freight on 807,000 pounds of canned tomatoes it bought in New York and shipped to California; and the Navy paid freight on 775,000 pounds of canned tomatoes it bought in California and shipped to the
Reined Army, Navy and Air Force personnel. The Administrator of the new agency would be a presidential appointee. Billion can be saved in the efficient handling of supplying and servicing the widespread operations of the department.
The Defense Department employs 1,180,000 civilian personnel and approximately 3 million military personnel. It spends directly about $35 billion a year. It holds $66 billion of property in military warehouses, including the $2.7 billion worth of clothing — twice as much as is needed. By reducing the clothing inventory by 50 per cent, $30 million in interest and $3 million in warehousing could be saved the taxpayers of America each year, the Hoover Commission pointed out.
Up to Citizens
Although efforts have been made since the passage of the National Security Act of 1947 to achieve coordination in the field of supply, the Commission found "no acceptable degree of success." The task force which studied management practices in the department concluded that "a definite program must be outlined which will eliminate unnecessary waste — duplicate stocks, distribution systems, facilities and overhead personnel." Significantly the Committee found "inertia or strong resistance" on the part of the military departments toward coordination of common supply and service activities.
Some of the top leaders in American industry and finance, experts in the highly competitive business of keeping expenses down, have spent months at the important task of finding ways and means of saving tax money in the operation of our gigantic Defense Department.
The citizens of America now have the responsibility of pushing through to concrete actions the recommendations made by these business experts.

Jane Russell in Move to Help Foreign Orphans
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Hollywood Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Jane Russell on the screen is a voluptuous siren, but offstage she's launched a sincere drive to help Americans adopt unwanted foreign children as she did.
These days the bosomy actress is wearing spit curls, spangles and jaws of body make-up as she plays a sexy gypsy in a picture at Columbia Studio, "Tambourine."
Yet the real-life Jane has turned into one of the busiest social helpers of the movie colony with her international adoption group, "Waif."
The organization's purpose is to raise funds for the long-established International Social Services Migration Service. ISS. Jane explained, is allowed to bring 4,000 orphans into the U.S. this year, if it can get the necessary money.
Hard to Find
The movie queen was inspired to help because of the legal hassle she went through herself when she adopted an Irish boy three and a half years ago.
"My husband (Bob Waterfield) and I went to Europe to find a child," Jane said. "Babies are so hard to adopt here. Besides, we wanted one that was a year old.
"We went to Italy, France and Germany. That's when we found how difficult it is. Nobody's the heavy—it's just that adopting a foreign child never has been cleared properly."
"I actually brought back this Irish boy, Tommy, to give somebody else, because I met his parisien two other fun-time draw a weekly salary, bonus when business is going."
"The harder they were more money they make, his Congressman, Ha Donohue (D., Mass.). "The tem has worked out safely for all concerned, ex Department of Labor."
The trouble, insuffair Bureau is concerned, so be that these two workers terminate on coming down shop on Saturday morning week they work a few than 40 hours and each week a few hours less.
"And the Labor Depot now advises me that I own two employees overtime every other week, plus monthly bonuses, which prorated on a weekly bled to the basic salary further prorated on an basis," Rossiter lamented.
Then there's the matter part-time employee pays him a small fee and the rest of his works for another coworker which pays him on an basis. The trouble is president of the other institution also is part owner Advance Bearing and Ship.
"The two corporate considered separate by the Internal Revenue," continued. "But we are Labor Department that must be considered as it comes to paying our worker. His salary must be dedited to his hourly rate prorated back to an hour itself, and then have time computed on this." He said if the Labor Department was correct their sin he'd been violating.
"And if a law can be so easily and unintentive a period of years," he might be well enough possibility of repealing.
Or at least changing wise Rossiter's got to be calculating machine—an brain might be better—a specialist to figure wages of his workers.
He said he wasn't bothered did he think he had cried for some of the red tape away with some of them so he and his helper spend a little more time power transmissions."

WASHINGTON — The subject today is paper shuffling in Worcester, Mass. Let us pity Arthur Rossiter, who has to shuffle 'em overtime.
You may remember the latest Hoover Commission report on federal papers, bound in Federrred tape. Emmett J. Lahey, the eminent New York specialist on disposing of useless papers, headed that enquiry. He said it was bad enough for government clerks to worry with these mountains of papers that were of little interest to anybody.
But worse was the way American businessmen had to waste their valuable time filling out forms that nobody ever read. Somebody, however, seemed to be reading Rossiter's papers.
He's president of the Advance hearing and Supply Co., of Worcester; specialists in power transmission. This firm has five full-time employees, including the boss, and one part-time worker.
Well sir, Rossiter and two employees are salesmen and they are exempt from the intricacies of the fair labor standards act in regard to overtime pay. That leaves two other full-timers who draw a weekly salary, plus a bonus when business is good.
"The harder they work, the more money they make," he told his Congressman, Harold D. Donohue (D., Mass.). "This system has worked out satisfactorily for all concerned, except the Department of Labor."
The trouble, insofar as this Bureau is concerned, seems to be that these two workers alternate on coming down to the

Extra Precautions Needed Against Food Poisoning In Hot Wather
Mrs. M. is feeling better today, though yesterday and the day before she was very sick, with vomiting and frequent thin stools. What worried her was that her son and husband also were similarly ill.
Like so many women these hot days, Mrs. M. likes to get as much as possible of the housework out of the way in the cool, early morning hrs. Three days ago, Sunday, she had prepared supper early in the morning. She liked to have an extra nice mid-afternoon meal on Sunday, when her husband and son were home all day.
So early that Sunday morning, while it was still not quite 80 degrees (the forecast sald the temperature would rise into the nineties during the day), Mrs. M. fixed the meal. She took special pains making the meat salad sandwich mix, using ground meat, mayonnaise, pickles and other seasonings. She took longer than she realized, though, and suddenly discovered it was breakfast time. Somehow she forgot to put the dish of meat salad in the refrigerator.
The supper was delicious. It tasted particularly good eight hours later when she hadn't had to become hot fixing it.
Early the next day, the family was sick.
In a way, the heat was responsible for this family illness, but the physician called it food poisoning (which means food infection).
Only later was the story reconstructed and the source discovered. A culture from some of the meat salad confirmed the diagnosis.
What had happened
The meat was all right. So were the other ingredients. Mrs. M. was careless and didn't get away with perhaps she touched her fingers to her mouth, nose or hair while fixing the lunch. Possibly she just rinsed her hands after using the toilet instead of scrubbing them with soap and water. Another source of the staphylococci germs could have been a sore on her finger or around a fingernail.
If the meat salad had been eaten immediately, even after getting a heavy dose of germs, no food poisoning would have occurred. If it had been stored in the refrigerator so that germs couldn't grow in the cold, no poisoning would have happened. But Mrs. M. set the meat salad on top of the refrigerator, forgetting to put it inside. It simmered in the hot kitchen for eight hours, providing an ideal culture for the germs to multiply into a large colony.
The following rules will help avoid food poisoning, especially in hot weather but also necessary the year round:
1. Always thoroughly wash hands after using toilet and before touching food. Dry your hands on a clean towel or disposable paper towel. Do not use dish towel as a hand towel.
2. Do not touch hands to mouth, nose, or hair while handling food. For that reason, smoking in the kitchen is a poor idea because your fingers touch your mouth while smoking.
3. Use disposable handkerchiefs (tissues) in the kitchen and wash hands after using one.
4. Keep foods in one of three places -- cooking on the stove, in the refrigerator, or on the table while eating. Never let food, especially meats or meat mixes, custards, salad dressings, and dairy products, stand at room temperature for more than a few min-

THE DAVID LAWRENCE DISPATCH
Optimism Over Geneva Conference Somewhat Tinged With Caution and Skepticism by U.S.
WASHINGTON, — Now that the two Congressional Committees which deal with Foreign Affairs have been given confidentially by Secretary of State Dulles an outline of what happened in Geneva last week, it may be said that outwardly there is a well-designed pattern of optimism but realistically there is a considerable amount of caution and skepticism in the American government as to whether anything substantial will ever come out of future conferences. The optimism is at present more of a hope and an inference than a conclusion based on any concrete evidence of a change in the Soviet position.
Statesmen, of course, have to say publicly nice things about the Geneva conference. In a sense, their tactics are right because, if Soviet Russia doesn't come through eventually with a substantial change in her policies, it will be apparent to the world that every kind of friendly approach made by the West was fruitless.
The most persuasive analysis of the Soviet viewpoint that has been written by anyone has come from the pen of Harry Schwartz of the New York Times, whose daily task for years has been to read and study with minute care all the Russian newspapers and periodicals and every phrase of all kitchen is a poor! because your fingers touch your mouth while smoking.
3. Use disposable handkerchiefs (tissues) in the kitchen and wash hands after using one.

5. Observe scrupulous cleanliness in washing and scalding food pans, dishes, and utensils so they won't be a source of infection.

Ten Years Ago
Lt. Jean Gordon has arrived from Peterson Field, Army Air Field for a visit with her parents, the W. G. Gordons.
Darwin Stockwell is home after four and one half years service with the 18th Engineers.
Pauline Saucedo of this city and Gilbert Montano have obtained a license to wed.
The Junior Farm Bureau members of Orange County are having a barbecue at the George Helneman home on the Anaheim-Olive road Wednesday night.
The most persuasive analysis of the Soviet viewpoint that has been written by anyone has come from the pen of Harry Schwartz of the New York Times, whose daily task for years has been to read and study with minute care all the Russian newspapers and periodicals and every phrase of all the broadcasts and statements from Communist sources inside and outside of Russia bearing on Soviet policy and intentions. Here is the way he looks at what happened at Geneva:
"The key to the Soviet new look in Geneva appears to be the fact that the Kremlin chiefs' primary objective was to improve their public relations, or as they would put it, 'to reduce international tension.' They wanted to destroy the West's stereotype of Soviet leaders as unreasonable, uncompromising monsters who speak only in insults and with whom there is no point in negotiating, since the end of capitalism is their life's ambition.
"Instead the Russians sought to recreate the atmosphere of a decade or more ago when Western leaders thought of Stalin as 'Good Old Joe' and treated with him in that spirit.
"Second to this objective was the effort to probe the West's positions to see whether the three Western powers were prepared to make any significant retreats, to test the solidity and the unanimity of the common front of the United States, Britain and France.
"Third, Moscow's negotiators sought to make clear to Germany that reunification of that country depends upon Russia and Russia alone. Soviet conduct on this issue in Geneva was designed to serve notice on Chancellor Konrad Adenauer that he must come to terms."
The most pressing Soviet objective at the moment is more trade relations with the West and a decided weakening of the embargo on strategic goods. When the president and secretary of Satte Dulles told members of Congress that no deals had been made in private and that "nothing had been given away" at Geneva by the American delegates, members of Congress were reassured, though some were still quite puzzled by the following two paragraphs in President Eisenhower's last speech to the Geneva conference, which said:
"The work of our foreign ministers as they strive to implement our directives will be of great importance, perhaps of even more than what we have done here. Theirs is the task, reflecting the substantive policies of their governments, to reach agreement on courses of action which we here could discuss only in broad terms. I know we all wish them well.
"I trust we will, all support the necessary adjustments which they may find our governments must make if we are to resolve our differences in these matters."
What "adjustments" did the President have in mind? Is this a word for "compromises" or "concessions"? Plainly there may have been some private discussions that, intentionally or unintentionally, left an intimation of possible yielding on the part of the United States, and presumably the one thing that it might have covered was a relaxation of the embargo. It could turn out to be a political tragedy for 1956 if it develops that the Eisenhower administration is yielding on the trade embargo and is getting nothing substantial in return. Memories of Yalta would be revived on the stump.
