American Press Urged To Stop Forces Who Would Destroy U.S.

NEW YORK, April 27The American Press must sharpen its vigilance against forces working to stifle Democracy. That was the keynote of the President’s address as. the 64th annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers Association opened general sessions today. Edwin S. Friendly, vice-presi-dent of the New York WorldTelegram and Sun, delivering the President’s report on the second day of the three-day convention, told the newspaper executives that “only a free people can assure a free press.” “It would be foolhardy to pontificate about the dangers faced by the American Press, and by the same token the American people, if we do not fight back against the calculated assault on our precious freedoms,” Friendly said. Friendly’s address was prepared for delivery to representatives of 778 newspapers representing 87 per cent of the circulation of U. S. dailies and 44 per cent of the circulation of Canadian newspapers. # It preceded reports of ANPA special committees. Friendly urged newspapers specifically to help curb the increasing number of sex crimes'— “a destructive force which imperils the moral fibre of our nation.” “Today the sex maniac is on the rampage,” he said. “The depraved sex criminal has replaced the kidnaper as a threat to the peace of mind of the parents of America. Rape cases have reached an all-time high. They have increased 100 per cent in the last 15 years—50 per cent over pre-war years. Most frightening of all is the fact that most of the victims are children.” He quoted the opinion of FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover that instead of playing down sex crimes newspapers should headline them, “pitjlessly pointing the spotlight on the offenders’ while withholdiing victims’ names. “The newspapers of the nation have been squeamish in reporting the news. . .in putting the honest facts before the public ” Friendly said. “They cannot - afford to hedge in this grave matter.” Friendly reviewed the committee reports which were presented in detail later. He called attention to the federal laws committee report on efforts made by Congress and state legislatures to regulate advertising. “We maintain that Congress is without authority to prohibit advertising if it is legal tb buy and sell the product and that Congress should not try directly or indirectly to interfere with such ad-

vertising through legislative process,” he said. Friendly in calling attention to the “grave threat” against American freedoms said: “I know that in the minds and hearts of everyone of you is the determination to use the all-pow-erful medium of honest reporting and editorial reason to bring about widespread awareness of the evils of government by directive, of the welfare state, of subsidies to everyone, of Communism disguised as Democratic socialism, of all the insidious threats to the principles Americans hold dear. “Let never-ending vigilance be our watchword.

Austrian Beauty Waits For Aged American Lover GLEICHENBERG, Austria, April 27—(U.R)—Sam Hedge, 61-year-old Chicago grandfather, is expected to arrive here soon to marry a 28-year-old village beauty queen he courted by transatlantic mail and telephone. The bride-to-be, Blonde Edith (Gitta) Rauch, “has received final information th^t Mr. Sam has left the United' States andi will arrive in Gleichenberg in a few days,” her mother announced today. She said Hedge, a part-time inventor, and Gitta plan to exchange vows “shortly after his arrival.” Gitta went shopping at Graz, nearest sizeable town in the British zone. “She wants to buy a few new dresses to welcome Sam when he gets here,” her mother said. Hedge learned of Gitta’s existence through a church which sponsored relief to needy Europeans. After he received' her picture he “kept proposing and sending ardent love letters,” according to the girl. Her mother said she opposed the marriage at first because of the difference in ages. /‘But my daughter convinced me that true love must not be jeopardized! by outsiders,” she shid, “and I know now that Gitta will only be happy if she gets Sam. There is no room in her heart for any other man.” Earlier Gitta told friends: “Sam is the perfect husband for me. He is kind, willing to break with tradition, and a cook. These three qualifications are what I ask for so far as husbands go. Cooking has always been my favorite occupation.” She said she has always wanted to go to the U. S. but isn’t marrying Sam for that. “It just coincided),” she said.

Spring Cleaning Should Be Planned PITTSBURGH (U.R)—Housewives who dread spring hou*cleaning would do better if the> just sat down. Mrs. Louis McClain doesn’t offer the advise as a rebellious gesture She means: sit down and decide what’s to be done. When you are responsible for six floors in one building and nine in another, it takes planning and organization. Mrs. McClain’s results at Shadyside Hospital are proof of her advise. Four supervisors and 70 workers help Mrs. McClain to clear miles of floors. Her walls run intc acres. Four men work steadilj five and a half days each week just to keep the floors clean. Mrs. McClain stresses planning and organization to her workers Once in a while she admits there’s a little more to be done. “So I just roll up my sleeves and dig in myself,” she said. Youth Honest But Absent-Minded MEMPHIS, Tenn.(U.R)—A young man and an old one sat side by side on a bus. , Just as the old man gdt off the bus, the other discovered a wallet on the seat.

He yelled “stop” again, dashed' back., retrieved his wallet and went back to the waiting bus.

Moderate Income Homes Promoted By Two States Chicago — (U.R) — The National Association of Housing Officials reports that bills to provide homes for middle-income families through non-profit corporations and co-operatives have been introduced in New York and Massachusetts. The association said the legislation is similar to that under consideration in congress. The congressional bill would set up a $2,000,000,000 national mortgage corporation for housing co-oper-atives. The U. S. Treasury would supply the initial capital by buying up to $10,000,000 of the corporation’s preferred stock, and government-backed debentures would be available to private investors for the balance of the capitalization. Interest Rate Low The corporation would make loans to co-operatives and similar groups for 50 years at interest rates of from 3 to 3.5 per cent. Cooperative borrowers would be required to subscibe to the corporation’s capital stock to the extent of 7.5 per cent of the face amount of the loan. Under New York’s bill, the formation of non-profit housing corporations by banks, veterans’ organizations, labor unions, foundations and insurance companies would be authorized. The cooperatives would put up 20 per cent of the money needed for construction and the rest would come from a $100,000,000 state fund. Long: Term Loans Repayment to the state would be in equal quarterly installments over periods up to 50 years. The proposed bond issue to finance the program would be subject to a referendum next November. The Massachusetts bill would provide $25,000,000 in state loans to non-profit housing cooperatives. Borrowers would be required to set maximum average income limits so that families admitted to the projects would be restricted to those of mderate income. Five U.S. Shrimp Ships Fined By Mexican Court TAMPICO, Mexico, April 27— <U.R>—The Mexican Navy today ordered' five U. S. fishing ships released from interment in Tampico Harbor after the payment of fines of $580 each for illegal fishing in Mexico’s territorial waters. Albert J. Pawling, sub-minister of the Navy, said the American slhrimip boats 'would be ‘'freed immediately” to return to their home ports in Texas upon receipt of the fine&. The vessels, with 16 American crewmen, were seized by a Mexican gunboat Sunday on charges of violating Mexican fishing laws. They were escorted into this gulf port where 7,000 pound® of shrimp was confiscated. Pawling described the seizure as only an “economic incident” created by “Mexico’s desire to have its fishing laws respected.” The Mexican foreign ministry said American protests were “out of place,” and stated flatly that the five U. S. vessels “were fishing for shrimp in our territorial waters without the corresponding permit of Mexican authorities.”

Construction Of A Rehabilitation Center For Delaware Co. Begins

Construction of a building designed to help the disabled to become useful citizens of Muncie and Delaware county and to lead happy personal lives began Thursday at Ball Memorial Hospital. A building permit was issued to A. J. Glaser, and ground was broken by his workmen early Thursday morning for the new Isabel Urban Ball Rehabilitation Center. The contractor expects to complete work on a physical therapy unit joined to the northwest side of the main structure by the middle of August. There will be a graded entrance on the University Avenue side to avoid ramps or steps which might be difficult for the crippled to scale. An office will be built close to the entrance and the rest of the building will be divided by partitions and curtains into sections for different types of therapy. Curtains will be used when divisions are necessary in the main room to allow the largest possible area for exercises at other times. In this room, there will be a series of tables for therapeutic exercises, and another section, known as the “wet room” will be for water treatment such as whirlpool baths and a tank-type of pool. Equipment and furnishings are to be provided largely by the Delaware County Society for the Crippled, which first proposed a physical therapy center' for Muncie. The value for general construction listed in the permit application yesterday was $49,000. This is exclusive, Glaser explained, of other construction costs, such as plumbing and electricity. There is no one any happier

about the building than Mrs. Robert Gibson of Eaton who is a member of the Board. The Easter Seal Drive netted a total of $6,546.02, and is the best campaign results of the history of the Delaware County Society for the Crippled. The money is to be used largely to equip the Isabel Urban Ball Rehabilitation Center. Although the campaign is officially ended further contributions will be welcomed. Money may still be sent for the Easter Seals and anyone wishing to contribute money, it will be very much appreciated. If anyone was missed when the seals were sent out, it was not done intentionally as the committee had to rely on the telephone book for their list. County Indiana Univ. Alumni To Meet May 10 The Delaware County chapter of Indiana University Alumni Association will meet at the Y. M. C. A. in Muncie, at 6:30 o’clock May 10, as announced by the county president, Marshall E. Hanley. Dr. Herman B. Wells, president of Indiana University will be the speaker, with Frank E. Allen, university trustee making the introductory speech. Alumni friends of the University have been invited to attend. Tickets may be purchased from Miss Rita McGuire, secretary of the county association. Allen Weir or Dr. Irwin Hostetter.
