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.
Virginia Officer Accused Of
Slaying In Maryland Wafers
CRISFIELD, Md., July 7. (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

Boettiger Sues For Divorce From
Daughter Of President Roosevelt
PHOENIX, Ariz., July 7. UP)
After 14 years of marriage, a
romance that started between a
President's daughter and a news
paper reporter appeared to have
ended yesterday.
John Boettiger, the reporter,
was suing his wife, Anna, daugh
ter of the late President Franklin

They were married in 1935,
after Anna had divorced her first
husband, Curtis Dall, a New York
broker. She obtained the divorce
in Reno in 1934.
In a suit filed In the Superior
Court Tuesday by his lawyer,
Boettiger charged his wife with
mental cruelty.
The couple reached agreement
July 15, 1948, settling their prop
erty rights. They have a soit John
R., 10, who now is living wh his
mother In Hollywood.
Mrs. Boettiger said In Holly
wood she would ask her attorney
to file an answer and a crops com
plaint but added she has "no in
tention of making a lengthy trial"
of the suit. She said she will seek
custody of the children.
"All" family break-ups are very
sad things," she said.
Mrs. Boettiger had two children
In her first marriage. Anna Elea
nor and Curtis, who became
known nationally as "Sistie" and
Buzzie" when they lived at the
White House.
Anna Eleanor was married here
July 8, 1948, to Van H. Seagraves
of Oregon City, Ore., after the
Boettigers had separated and sold
the Times to a group of Phoenix
businessmen. Kirk C. Dunbar
now is publisher of the paper.

Federal Program To Ease
Slums Rests On Decision Of
Communities. 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.
