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

LOS .NGELES, April I. (.PI
Clothes still make the man. If you
don't think so, try going without
them sometime.
Three men tried it here yester
day. Two of them, pantsless, wound
up in jail. Police are looking for
the third.
Consider, first, Thomas Williams,

The Old-Time. Large Houses
Were Happy Places To Live
NEW YORK - (. -Families
and houses are getting smaller to
day. 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

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.

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.
