Teller, sociolo gist and writer. Millions of dollars of public school facilities go to waste, Teller contends, because they are used oniy for relatively short, daytime periods and are closed during summer months. Teller has been ' connected with settlement and playground work. He was a World Fellow ship delegate to Latin America in 1943 and a member of the Pan American Council's Good Will Mission to Mexico. "The progress of science, me chanization, industrialization, and technocracy means more and more leisure, which already i beginning to challenge us in many directions," Teller said. "Nothing can stop this increas ing leisure the problem is, how are we going to use it?' "Public, private and commer cial agencies," he said, "must combine to work out construc tive leisure-time programa ior: adults. . I "The way to get benefit from' public property is through use," j he said. "An empty, unused $100,000 school building is a $100,000 loss. Using the public j schools'only for daytime school; purposes means that the citizens and taxpayers get only a 50 per cent return on their invest-! ment."

C concerning the so-called "winds code" set up by Tokyo. Social Security Increase Backed Washington. Jan. 31 (U.R) The House Ways and Means committee made public today a report suggesting a gradual in crease in social security taxes to three per cent by 1947 to meet the need for increased coverage. Such an increase, the report said, would be based on current benefits but would take into ac count the fact that additional unprotected groups probably will be brought Into the system. About three Jobs out of five now are covered by social security.
