Huge Sum Spent To Save St. Louis
From Becoming Business
ness districts of many U. S. cities are
sick. Residential population has been
moving to the suburbs, and business
is following its market out of town.
Such a trend could make commercial
"slums" out of the once-busy centers
of cities. The following dispatch tells
ho wone big city hopes to restore
economic health t its deteriorating
downtown section.

Editor's note: The downtown busi-1 ing an 0Jjj one jjas to be torn
down.
The first major attempt to do
something about the St. Louis
problem similar to problems
confronting many cities is a
scheme known as the "Plaza
Project."
Big Plans
It will cost $30,000,000 alto
gether and will turn a frowzy
eight blocks east of the Union
Station into a modern, airy resi
dential area. There will be five
blocks of apartments for 1150
middle income families and three
blocks developed as a park.
The Piazza Project is the
brainchild of the Urban Rede
velopment Corp. of St. Louis, or
ganized five years ago by pri
vate citizens in an effort to keep
purchasing power within the
city, to bolster sinking property
values and to check the decay
of the heart of St. Louis.
Five years of surveys and
planning lie behind the project.
Demolition of the old buildings
began last April. Everything in
the eight block area except two
churches was torn down. '
About $7,000,000 was pro
vided by federal and city agen
cies to acquire and clear the
land, but the apartments will be
built by private capital at a cost
of more than 20-million dollars.
Good Start
Although St. Louis has been
engaged in the slum clearance
since 1935 and has built with
federal funds more than 7800
housing units for low income
families on the fringes of the
downtown area, this is the irst
privately financed redevelop
ment in the city.
The Plaza Project has raised
the hopes of St. Louis business
men that the oldest and appar
ently dying sections of the city
will be restored to life. Two
other projects to be financed
chiefly by private capital and
costing more than $100,000,000
are in the planning stage one

St. Louis, Mo. (U.R) Pri
vate developers are spending
more than $20,000,000 to make
over eight square blocks oi a
rundown old business district in
downtown St. Louis.
The aim is to create a new resi
dential area right in the heart of
the city.
For more than 10 years busi
ness men and property owners
have seen the St. Louis business
district go downhill. The city
seemed to be suffering from its
own growth. St. Louis, with a
population of two million within
a radius of 20 miles, is strangled
by city limits imposed more than
75 years ago.
There is no vacant land within
the city. To put up a new build-

ects for low-income families are
nearing completion in former
slum areas close to the down
town section. Three more public
housing projects are in the plan
ning stage.
Homecoming Events Planned
For November 11-12 at SOC
Ashland Homecoming theme
for Southern Oregon college stu
dents and alumni Nov. 11 and
12 will feature the theme, "Re
member When," according to
Walter Hurst, general chairman
for the traditional event.
According to Hurst, a full pro
gram . of weekend events is
planned for returning alumni,
Festivities will begin with a
bonfire rally on Fuller field Fri
day at 6:30 p.m. when the Home
coming Queen, to be selected by
the football team, will be crown
ed. She will reign over all the
following homecoming activities
including the variety show t.o be
presented that same evening in
Churchill auditorium at 8
o'clock.
Judging of the floats designed
by the various campus organiza
tions will lead off the day's
events on Saturday at 9 a.m. and
will be followed by a parade
through downtown Ashland at
10 a.m.
In the past, the freshman in
itiation has reached its climax
with the burning of their green
hats at the Friday night bonfire.
This year, however, it is report
ed that Saturday afternoon is to
be called "Freshman Independ
ence Day" and the freshmen will
attempt to outdo the upperclass
men and alumni in various
games and sports. If the fresh
men triumph, they will auto
matically be able to discard their
green hats, but if they fail to
win, the initiation will continue
for another week.
At 8 p.m. the battle between
the SOC Red Raiders and the
Oregon College of Education
Wolves will get under way at
Fuller field. Both coaches are
fielding rugged, driving teams
with fine records behind them
for the current season. School

Hollywood (U.R) Confes-'
sions of a Hollywood secretary:
The movietown beauty who
knows enough
of Holly
wood's secrets
and skeletons
to keep gossip
columnis ts
supplied for
decades is an
unknown bru
nette named
Edna Ruben.
Aline Mosby Edna is on
hand when movie deals churn,
personal secrets spill and di
vorces begin. In fact, she can
boast she's spent more time in
hotel rooms with movie stars
than any other female.
Miss Ruben is Hollywood's
favorite private secretary. As
the resident stenographer at the
Beverly Hills Hotel, she's hired
for the celebrities who habit
ually fill that famous hostelry.
Learned of RKO Sale
Edna's shorthand sizzled when
Howard Hughes sold RKO. She
typed the letters Rita Hayworth
dictated in her hotel bungalow
to Aly Khan when the prince
was pining for a reconciliation.
And it was Edna's fast type
writer that wrote letters about
deportation troubles for a later
Hayworth husband, Dick
Haymes.
Edna has typed stacks of
scripts for TV and movie writers
who work in the quiet hotel bun
galows. She was the first one in
on "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Ten
nessee Williams dictated that
future hit to her in his room.
Establishes Hotel Office
Edna came to Hollywood eight
years ago as secretary to Donald
Nelson. She liked the film col
ony so much she set up her of
fice in the swank penthouse of
the hotel. Her most interesting
boss, she thinks, was the late
Serge Rubenstein.
"I knew so much about his
business that when he was mur
dered I rushed home and locked
my door," she said.

greatest lumber-producing state

about her colorful job.

Modernization of
BLM Records Due;
Contract Approved
The bureau of land manage
ment has initiated a program
which will modernize public
land records.
The .York Tabulating service,
Inc., of York, Pa., has been
awarded a contract to prepare a
control document index as the
first phase in the modernization
program.
The program will constitute
the first innovation since 1812 in
a records system which has be
come antiquated, BLM Director
Edward Woozley said. The con
trol document index will consist
of micro-film copies of patents,
orders of withdrawal and restor
ation, and other public land records.
Total Revision
The second phase of the pro
gram class for total revision of
basic land records over a five
year period at an estimated cost
of $5,000,000 for 17 western
states. The project will be ac
complished progressively on a
state-by-state basis.
Under the new system, pres
ent records will be replaced with
two-part records consisting of a
narrative summary of essential
actions and transactions affect
ing single townships, and a
township status plat showing
ownership of lands and minerals.
Among benefits from the new
system, Woozley said, will be an
official complete record of pub
lic domain; lands conveyed,
rights granted and right retained
will be known; determination of
land ownership and use will be
simplified; and application of
all kinds may be handled more
effectively, easily and economically.
