trine of the Reds. One line of thought favors "getting along”, with the Communists and another segment does not believe this harmonious condition can exist, as long as the Reds want to overthrow free government and enslave the people. Discussing this subject, an editorial writer made this apt observation, “Can there be coexistence between a lamb and a hungry lion? Does not such an attempt at coexistence end with the lamb being devoured by the lion? Some day the forces lead by Russia and the United States will clash, or we miss our guess. At the Mitchel air force base an experiment in encouraging the economical use of material and manpower is paying off. The sergeant judged to be doing the most to eliminate waste of personnel and materials Is given a "manager of the month” award. In addition he is given a two-day, all-expense paid weekend Ln New York city and a special leave to visit any base in the United States. Officers report that in May and June the idea resulted in a saving of |23,260. Sergeants work to find ways to eliminate duplication of tasks, needless paperwork and unnecessary personnel. Aside from the Immediate gain the experiment may have some good long-range results. The men who are made aware of the need for thrift and iiAelligent use of manpower will retain the knowledge and in their subsequent army or business careers they can apply it

Ind. (INS) — Wells county authorities questioned a “dozen or so" juveniles today in an investigation of teen-age sex and liquor parties with inmates of a reformatory camp. Although state correction board chairman Hugh P. O'Brien said there was no truth to the charges of wild parties in progress between Bluffton teen-agers and Indiana reformatory Inmates in a nearby honor camp, Wells county sheriff Alva‘F. Smith said O’Brien was mistaken. Said the sheriff: "He's nuts. We don’t operate that way. There's a dozen or so juveniles hooked into this mess Amt we're going Id getto theltot 7 tom of it.” O’Brien contended complaints of “wild parties" at the Wells county state forest were received “several months ago” and three guards were replaced as a result. But the sheriff said the present Investigation to now underway and not several months old. He said sometimes the prisoners were brought into town but mostly the beer and liquor were taken ont to the woods by teenagers. Smith said there was nothing professional about the operation. He said it was just a case of teenagers going wild and getting in over their heads. The sheriff added that no arrests have been made and probably won’t be in the sex-liquor parties until all information has been gathered.

New Housing Bill Passed By Congress Measure Designed To Make Purchase ' J Os Homes Easier WASHINGTON (INS) — President Eisenhower to virtually certain to sign into tow this week a new national housing act designed to make home buying easier and to safeguard the government against any liew housing scandals. Housing officiate, noting that a number of key programs will e» pfre at midnight Saturday, predicted fast executive action on the measure which finally cleared congress Wednesday night by a 59 to 21 senate vote. The omnibus housing bill, expected to touch off a broad attack on slums and expand housing construction, is the first major legislation- to reach the President substantially in the form he requested early this year. Just before congress sent the bill to the White House, the senate became embroiled in a bitter political fight over responsibility for federal housing administration scandals. A few Republicans and Democrats also blasted the measure’s public housing features. Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) accused the Eisenhower administration of “dereliction’' in moving to clean up the scandale and demanded that attorney general Herbert Brownell start prosecutions at once. Senate banking chairman Homer E. Capehart (R-1 nd.) raid he was “irked" at Byrd's chargee and declared that “you can meke an awful meee in 20 years and you can't clean it up in 20 days.” Capehart declared: “The Republican administration and the attorney general better prosecute some people because there as been a tot of graft and corruption.” The Indiana lawmaker said he felt the ecandate resulted from “sloppy administration” by the Democrat*, hut Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) retorted that congress extended FHA'a apartment program, whidh netted builders multimillion dollar “windfall” profit*, at the "insistence” of Republicans. Meanwhile. Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-N.Y.) joined with Sen. Herbert H. ( I|ehman (D-N.Y.) and other lawmakers to denounce a provision allowing the government

to subsidize construction of 35,000 new public housing dwelling* as long as ohe unit* are restricted to persons evicted from alum clearance projects. They claimed the restriction would effectively "kill” public housing because most citiee do not now have slum clearance projects underway and won't be eligible for several yeara. ■ .■ The housing bill gives non-veter-an home buyers dealing with the FHA the beet credit terms in history by reducing down payment® hundreds of dollar* and' providing extra years to repay the loan. Down payment® would be reduced from the present 15 and 20 percent to a formula requiring five percent down on the first >9,000 and 25 percent on the excess over >9,000. Under the measure, a new $9,000 home could be purchased with >450 down instead of $950, a $12,000 dwelling with $1,200 instead .«-* $2,400, and a SIO,OOO house with $1,950 instead- at $3,000. Famliiee buying older house® would be allowed to pay ten percent down on homes costing up to $9,000 instead of the present 20 percent. , In addition, the bill lengthens repayment period® on FHA loans rum the present 20 and 25 years o 30 yeare and allow® the agency to insure loan® up to $20,000 instead of the present “16,009 ceiling. Testimonial Dinner Held For Roy Cohn McCarthy Praises . Resigned Counsel NEW YORK (INS) — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy declared Wednesday night that Roy M. Cohn "will continue to help me” fight Communism despite Cohn's resignation as chief counsel to the senate investigations subcommittee. A wildly enthusiastic ..crowd of 2.000 which jammed the grand ball-room of New York’s Hotel Astor for a testimonial dinner for Cohn cheered when the Wisconsin Republican, describing Cohn as “this brilliant young American,” said: “Roy Cohn thinks he has resigned. I want to tell him he has not. As long as I’m senator fighting Communism. I intend to draw heavily, on his talent, background and knowledge of Red subversion. “I will call upon him for help advice.” B Cohn, following McCarthy to the nostrum, asserted: “Anytime he (McCarthy) needs any advice from me, I will consider it as my duty as a private citizen and an American to do all I can for him.” The dinner, sponsored by the joint committee Against Communism in New York, which said it was forced to turn down 6,000 requests for tickets, lasted six hours. Because of a number of threatening telephone calls, an extra guard of detective* was assigned to the hotel, which was picketed by 200 young men and women chanting, “Roy is out — Joe must go.” There were no disorders, however. Plaques, citations and scrolls for “patriotic service” were given to Cohn by representatives of various local organizations, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the coalition of Patriotic Societies of New- York, the American Legion, Catholic War Veterans, the Holy Name Society, the Sons of, American Revolution, the Queens Cotrnty (N.Y,) Young Republicans and the Students For America. Nearly all of the more than a dozen speakers referred to the alleged “smearing” of McCarthy and Cohn by “Communists and liberals.” McCarthy was giyen a threeminute standing ovation when he rose to speak. • “As I see this great turnout. 1 can't help but feel that this great American, Roy Cohn, has wort a really great victory," declared McCarthy. Cohn also was given a studding ovation. He told the gue>4s he had “a feeling of great humility, a great unworthiness for what you are doing for me.” He continued “I think the thing that holds us together is that we have faith in a cause. That is the preservation of our free institutions against the onslaught of ' atheistic Communism.”
