Aid Proposed
Washington, July 18 OJ.B
Sen. James E. Murray, (D.
Mont.) has introduced an "eco
nomic expansion act" aimed at
increasing employment through
government aids to private in
dustry and long - range public
works program.
Seventeen other senators join
ed Murray in sponsoring the
bill.
Although several administra
tion democrats were in the
group, the measure is not re
garded as having official White
House backing. But its spon
sors said that is is aimed at
carrying out many of the 11
main requests President Truman
-made in his recent economic
message.
' '-,,The bill would:
1. Encourage private indus
try to expand by such incentives
as guaranteed loans and a step
ped up amortization of debts.
It does not provide for build
ing of plants by the govern
ment.
2. Extend the so-called 52-20
club and other unemployment
benefits for veterans under the
GI bill of rights and provide for
price, wage, and profit studies
States would have to meet cer
tain standards for unemploy-
, ment compensations.
3. Set up a bipartisan com
mission to investigate local,
state, and federal tax policies.

PLAN ATTACKS RUN-DOWN HOMES
Cities Can Get Grants
From U. S. for Housing
(Editor's Note: This is the third of five stories on
government's new housing program).
the
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, July 11 (IP) This is the government's new public
housing program:
To start building 810,000 decent low-rent housing units in the
next six years for low-income
families living now in slums or
run-down homes.
Once a family's income im
proves beyond a certain point,
it must get out of public hous
ing and find a private dwelling.
This makes room for a lower
income family. Over many years
people can be helped that way
That's the idea behind the' program.

Lady Trims Sinatra Frank Sinatra has his hair cut by
Mrs. Frances E. Murphy who has been barbering notables at
her (hop In New York for 21 years.
The government's main role
ii. all this is helping with
money cities and communities
build the public housing.
The government itself won't
own or run the housing. The
cities and communities will do
that.
How much will all this cost
the government? Congress says
no more than $12,320,000,000,
spread over 40 years. It can't
be spent all at one time.
Since government monev will
be used in public housing, the
government will have some con
trol over it. For example:
It must approve the plans be
fore any government money is
handed out: it will have final
say on the size of rents that can
be charged.
The program will go like this:
A city has a lot of families
needing decent, low-rent homes.
So it wants to build low-rent
public housing.
Since it has to hire private
contractors to do the building,
the city may not have enough
money to foot the bill.
Under this program the gov
ernment then can help out in
two ways: with loans, .that have
to be paid back, and grants, that
don't:
1. Loans the government
can give the cities as much as
$1,500,000,000 in loans over the
next six years. A city can get
a loan up to 90 per cent of the
cost of building a public housing
project.
The government loses nothing
on this because the cities must
repay the loan, at interest of
maybe 2 'A to 3 per cent. But
they have 40 years to do the re
paying. 2. Grants this is where the
government hands out money it
never gets back, for a grant is
an outright gift.
Congress says the government
can give the cities $12,320,000,
000 grants to get public housing,
But
The money won't be handed
out in any one year, or six
years, but over 40 years and
then with no more than $308,
000,000 given in any one year.
If that much has to be given
every year for 40 years, it will
come to $12,320,000,000.
Why should the government
have to give perhaps as much
as $308,000,000 a year in grants,
or outright gifts, to the cities
for 40 years?
To help them bridge the gap
between (A) the cost to them
of running a public housing
project and (B) the income they
get from their low-rent paying
tenants.
This isn't the first time the
government has been involved
in public housing. Congress
first approved a public housing
program in 1937.
Under that one, 191,000 pub
lic housing units have been
built. They've cost the govern
ment ' so far $68,000,000 in
grants.
Those grants unlike the 40
year ones allowed under the
new program can run for 60
years.
But the most the government
can lose on grants under the
1937 program is $1,680,000,000
spread over 60 years.

'Old-timer' has a special meaning at Standard
They say you're not really an "old-timer" at
Standard until you've been on the job at least
20 years . . . and at 30 years, there's a special
company award: a gold watch and six weeks'
vacation with pay.
That's appreciation of a man's service to his
company, of course, but it also illustrates a principle we believe in
for all employees good people in good jobs serve you best, and
we do everything we can to make jobs at Standard good.
Security, good pay and working conditions, advancement from
within, free insurance, annuities at retirement are all part of making
that principle a reality. The average length of service of all our
17,890 parent company employees is slightly more than 11 years. And
the 20-year "old-timers"? Fully 4,856 are working with us today.
