Boston Paper Brings Latest

By Bertrly Phillips
United Press Correspondent
Boston (U.PJ From the presses
nf a South Boston plant "The
National Braille Weekly," the
nnlv magazine of its kind in
America, is bringing the latest
war news to the fingertips of
blind persons throughout the
free United Nations.
Blind editor-in-chief Francis
B. Ierardi, who founded the
magazine in 1927, feels that the
flightless "are vitally Interested
- fin war news."
"They want the facts at their
fingertips," he emphasized.
"When they discuss a problem
they want plenty of proof be
hind them. It gives them more
self-confidence."
3.400 Circulation
( Back in 1927, the weekly
reached 200 subscribers without
charge. Now the circulation
figures have climbed to 3,400
and before the war 3,700 blind
persons in 34 different countries
including China and Japan, re
ceived the magazine. The pub
lication is supported entirely by
voluntary contributions..
' The weekly news runs to 34
pages devoted to national and
foreign news, as well as news
of the latest developments In
science, business and braille literature.
The weekly employs 12 per
sons, all but two of them are
blind. It is printed on a regula
tion automatic high-speed press
with the inking device removed.
A proof-reader with "seeing fin
gers" checks the braile copy for
errors.
Fifty-five schools, including
Perkins Institution for the
Blind, use the magazine in cur
rent events classes. Readers
throughout the world write into
Boston headquarters praising
the weekly as a "beacon in the
deep darkness of the sightless."
Sees War Need
Ieardl hopes to expand the
plant and have his own building
in the near future. War casual-
ues win increase me numDer oi
- louna, and he things it extreme
Vy important that the newly-
blinded realize that through "see-
fingers" the world can be spread
before them.
Ierardi himself is middle-aged
and spare, an energetic man
whose blindness is rarely no
ticed. He describes the weekly
and two other monthlies he pub
lishes as a hobby. His "real
Job is on the staff of the Mas
sachusetts state division of the
blind. "
"My purpose In publishing
these magazines," he said, "is to
help the blind realize that ad
justment and normalcy are pos
sible and in many cases often
easier, for instance, than the
sighted imagine."

Stocks made an irregular de
cline today, the first recession
in seven sessions. Trading was
moderately above yesterday's
total.
Market experts attributed the
decline purely to technical fac
tors although they held that
weakness in some of the oils
had a tendency to bring in mod
erate selling elsewhere.
Weakness in the oil shares fol
lowed announcement that John
D. Rockefeller Jr. was planning
to sell $25,000,000 of oil stocks
to raise funds for the purchase
of additional government war

effort."
