(Picture by Paul Jenkins) , Business Men Need 'Pep' Talk To Banish Fears, Sen. Flanders Says WASHINGTON, July 7. UP) Senator Flanders (R.-Vt.) said yesterday the only real danger to the nation's economy is the possi bility ol businessmen "frighten ing themselves into a recession." The Vermonter, who used to be a manufacturer, expressed the hope that President Truman will address a "darn good pep talk" to merchants and manufacturers in the economic report he is sched uled to send to Congress soon. "Many of them are pursuing a perfectly silly course by curtail ing their supply of goods and materials when there is no good reason for doing so," Flanders told a reporter. "There still Is plenty of con sumer demand for goods at the right prices, but a reduction of inventories and a subsequent cut in production could dry up the market artifically and cause trou ble." -Flanders Is a member of the Senate-House Economic Commit tee, which will study the Presi dent's forthcoming report. He was chairman of the board of Jones and Lamson Machine Co., in Springfield, Vt., until he re signed in 1946 to become a sena tor. The senator said he Is Inclined to think it would be best for the government to adopt a hands-off rollcy with respect to business conditions at present. "This situation, this slight fall ing off of business will be over very shortly if the government will just go slow and confine its role lor now to just some good advice," Flanders declared. There has been some talk In Coneress that Mr. Truman, in his mid-year economic report, might junany slop insisting on enact ment of the anti-inflation pro gram he first outlined in 1947. Senator Snarkman (D.-Ala.V for one, has said that the Presi dent ought instead to map plans for "safeguarding us against a sKiaaing economy.

(IP) A murder charge was filed on Wednesday against a Virginia fisheries officer who shot and killed a Maryland crab fisher man in Chesapeake Bay. The warrant named 23-year-old David Acree of Weirwood, Va., a deputy patrol officer for the Virginia Fisheries Commis sion. A charge of being an acces sory afler the fact was filed against George Colonna Jr., pi lot of a Commission plane which landed beside the 26-foot motor boat from which the Maryland waterman was crabbing. Early Lee Nelson, 50-year-old former member of the Crisfield Police Force, died of a bullet wound after Acree boarded the boat to arrest him for crabbing in Virginia waters. Acree reported to superiors that Nelson had tried to grab his rifle and had been shot ac cidentally. Filing of charges by Maryland authorities indicated that they had decided after an investiga tion that Nelson was shot and killed in Maryland waters. The scene was at the junction of Pokomoke and Tangier Sounds on the east side of Chesapeake Bay, where the Maryland-Virginia line zig-zags across the water. There is a tense rivalry be- states because of conflicting con- scivduun laws, iney may crab only in their own waters.

Large Cities By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, July 7-UPV-Jones lives in a slum, what's the government's new program sium-ciearance ana puouc Hous ing going to mean to htm? Maybe nothing. Maybe a lot. It depends on whether his own city warns to axe pare in me pro gram. No city has to. The government itself doesn't go in and tear down a slum or even start a slum-clearance go ing. It stands on the sidelines like a combination banker and rich uncle. . It's ready to help with money in gifts and loans any city which wants to tear down a slum and set up low-rent public hous ing for low-income people. How Program Works . The program goes like this: A city has a bad slum. It wants to get rid of it. It gets permission from its state legislature to do so and it gets a small loan from the government to survey the whole problem. This includes public hearings where people with an interest In seeing the slum stay or go can speak their piece. Suppose, then, the city decides to go ahead and tear down the slum. This is where money, maybe big money, comes in. Buying up the slum property and tearing down the rotten buildings may take a lot of money, more than the city can spare, even though the city gets some of it back later by selling the leveled-off land. The government step In. It's willing to stand two-thirds of any loss on the deal. The city must the German doctor had been ex ceedingly careful not to draw any conclusions from his studv, but that he had given the basic facts. BLAME U. 8. EGG POWDER medical oaper "Medical Worker" i claims that large numbers of ' Europeans are suffering from , slomach ailments as a result of eating Marshall Plan egg powder. iMeoicai worker ' claims that most American egg powder sent to Europe is Infected with bac teria of the salmonella family, ! dangerous bacteria held respon sible for epidemic meat poison ing and other serious diseases. Medical Worker cited an essay Dy a uerman aoctor wnicr, appeared in the American zone of Germany. The Soviet paper said agree to bear the other one-third of any loss. The government is willing to lose up to ouu,uuu,uuu on slum clearance to get these blights out of the way and their tenants moved into better, 1 o w . e n t homes. So, for slum-clearance, in the next five years the government is prepared to nana out i,30t), 000,000 to the cities in loans and grants, this way: 1. Loans $1,000,000,000. This money all has to be paid back by the cities at 2H to 3 per cent in terest. But they get 40 years to ao ii. 2. Grants $500,000,000. These grants are really gifts which the cities never nave to pay back. Since the loans have to be paid back, but the grants don't, the most the government figures to lose on all slum-clearance is $500,000,000 in grants. "Musts" For Cities But and this is Important for Jones and his neighbors in the slums the government will not help any city in any way in get ting rid of a slum unless: The slum-dwellers forced to move can be placed temporarily, or relocated, in housing at least not worse than they left and at rent within their means. And people forced out of a slum, because the city is tearing it down, will get first crack at a new, low-rent public housing unit, provided they re otherwise eligi ble. .. That is one of the reasons why a lot of cities, before starting slum-clearance, probably will build public housing, also' with government help. The government's end of the deal checking, investigating, and deciding what city gets how mucn money ana lor wnar win be handled by the Public Housing Administration, a government agency. Atomic Energy Head Answers Solon's Charges WASHINGTON. July 6 (.TV David E. Lilienthal said today the United States was "virtually un armed atomically" in 1947 when the Atomic Energy Commission was created. Formally answering charges of increaioie mismanagement" . by Senator Hlckenlooper (R.-Iowa), Lilienthal said the AEC couldn't be poorly managed If its Di-oduc- tion of A-bombs was as good as wie iow senator aamils It Is. Lilienthal said the commis sion's whole program was direct ed toward giving this country "unquestioned and unqualified leadership" in the atomic field. For that reason, he said the commission had to ignore many "useful" things it might have done and had to put up with some "careless, stupid and negligent" personnel at times. Pursuing a policy of letting nothing "stand in the way of arm ing the nation atomically" has meant "sticking our necks out" and disregarding "bureaucratic procedures, the AEC chairmen went on, but it has also gotten a job done. And, drawing on the Bible, Lilienthal declared: "By their fruits ye shall know them." Lilienthal was In the witness chair of the Senate-House Atomic Committee, formally replying to Hickenlooper's charges. 'Being Broke' Good Sign, Active Club Is Told PORTLAND, July 7.
