Sawyer Would Stop Old-Age State Grants WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W VA., April ( ;p Secretary of Commerce Sawyer wants the gov. ernment to stop making cash grants to the slates for old-age pensions. He told the American Associa tion of Advertising Agencies and the Association of National Adver tisers meeting here that: The grants have "tended to be come more and more of a burden on the federal government, with less and less incentive upon the state to make the conditions of payment reasonable." "Government should not pay out benefits regardless of the tax payer," he added. The cabinet officer also pro posed: 1. Encouraging private pension plans, and tax laws to permit wage earners to list pension fund pay ments as deductions in their in come tax returns. 2. Holding government benefits to "a minimum protection to pre vent dependency. 3. Extending social security to all workers not now covered by the government's social security pro gram. Sawyer urged business to take a bigger part in social security and welfare undertakings and to try to regain its "lost" political influence. To labor, he directed a warning that it should "recogniie that its greatest benefit will come from prosperous and not from weakened American business." Escapades Of Pantless Men Make L A.

Police are looking for the third. Consider, first, Thomas Williams, SI, arrested on suspicion of rob bery of a New Orleans jewelry store.

Drive through the suburbs of any city and you can see many 840-12 room houses of 50 to 75 years ago standing boarded up and empty. Some nave been turned into du plexes or triplexes. And still others are being torn down to make way tor new real estate developments with names like quagmire heights or far flung hills. I hate to see these fine old houses die. It is like watching a kindly elephant go down. Architecturally, they may have been monstrosities. But they had a virtue above or dinary art they were lived in, and well-lived in, by sprawling happy families. Whatever they lacked in beauty as houses, they made u p for in the love they held as homes. Many Conveniences The smaller, close-packed dwell ings that are replacing them have many more conveniences. They do look neater, too, and they have gadgets in them no one ever dreamed of in 1900. But they also often have the monotonoua look of row of cells in a beehive. The idea used to be to build houses far enough apart so that each family would have some pri vacy, lawn and a backyard with snare to raise a few chickens in. Now a lot of folks appear to be uneasy unless their houses are close enough for them to hear what the neighbors are calling each other or listening to on the rsdio. And without getting maudlin about it, I sometimes feel sorry for these small families living in their small and sanitary houses. I guess this is progress, and you can't fight progress; but I can't, for the life of me, see just what the progress amounts to. The two-kid families in the better-built mousetrap of today have no idea what fun it was to be one of a half a doten to a dozen child ren in one of those old rambling barns people used to call home. Pl.nty of Play ftoem There was plenty of room to Ttiur., April 4, 150 The News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. S play, indoors and out. The two rooms where the family gathered most often were the kitchen and the dining room. The dining room also was where dad held court. During the evening meal he would rule on all the day's infractions of the tribal laws, with mother acting alternately as plaintiff and attorney for the defense, and de cide on punishment. If it was a good meal, however, he tended to be lenient. In those old houses there was always a room in which a heart broken culprit could go arH try by himself. But in large families, no matter how mean a thing you'd done, you were never completely alone. There was always a sister or brother to take your side. There were plenty of feuds d u r Ing the day, but generally they were all settled by bedtime. It wasn't often anyone went to sleep mad. That was one of the best things about large families people learned to get along, to sacrifice for each other, to recognize one another's rights. ONE MAN'S "FLYING SAUCER" The sketch above shows how a "flying saucer" might actu ally look, according to Alex Tremulis of Chicago, Industrial designer. Inset is Tremulis' interpre tation of the two-foot-high disc pilot reported in one recent saucer story. Tremulis believes the strange craft, reported by hundreda of witnesses, may come from another planet. "I cotiM b"i'rt e scale model of this that would fly," he aaid. was picked up in San Francisco wearing Wiliams" pants and carry ing most of a $25,000 loot. Williams was waiting for his bud dy's pants to come back from the cleaner. Then there was Van Christiansen, 33. booked on suspicion of rape after Mrs. Milado Denham. 32, said a man had grabbed her while she was dumping coffee grounds in the backyard. She swung the pot and he fled. Police found Christiansen near by, pantsless and coffee grounds in his hair. In Pasadena, police are looking for a hot trumpeter. Two women neighbors filed a complaint charg inE him with lewd conduct. They didn't object to his Jiorn. Nor did they mind his constant sineing of "I'll be seeing you " But yesterday he did both stand in? naked in front of his window. The temperature may be rising, but say police quoting an old San skirt proverb: A man sans pants is over a barrel. FOR... 'SERVICE ... EXPERIENCE . . . . .-.. CO-OPERATION . . .

U.S. Urged To Plan Defenses Against Bombs WASHINGTON, April () A demand that the federal govern ment assume responsibility for de fense against atomic and hydi'",i I bomb attacks came today from representatives of Milwaukee. ia.i ! Francisco, Detroit and Providence, ft. I. Mayor Elmer E. Robinson of San i Francisco told the joint committee on atomic energy that to date there "seems to be nothing more than a buck-passing operation of the first magnitude between top federal agencies." "At no time," Robinson said, "have I had any indication that the military has givn consideration to the protection of the civilian popu lation as well as its own establish ments." The committee is considering means of civilian defense in pos sible bomb attacks. Robinson urged "that a policy of total defense he inaugurated im mediately by the federal govern ment." "It has been five years since Hiroshima and more than three years since Bikini, and during this period, so far as I can determine, the national government has been fumbling the ball of civilian de fense," he declared. Similar pleas came from Capt. C. A. Parkinson. USNft, co ordinator of the civilian disaster relief committee of Milwaukee; Brig. Gen. Clyde Dougherty. De troit coordinator of civil defense, and Mayor Dennis Roberts of Providence. Parkinson said Milwaukee has its own defense set up but "it appears that many of the states, including our own, have little or no state organization at the present time." Scottish industry is centered in the Edinburgh-Glnsgow area.
