States TV Causes Mental Inactivity Schools Warned By Leading Educator - PARIS (INS) — Dr. William S. Carlson, President of the State University of New York, urges America’s universities to combat “passive listening" among TV aud- _ iences. Dr. Carlson says he believes television is hypnotizing people into mental inactivity. "American higher education must take this to heart,” he said. The university president contends TV is making Americans "passive listeners" who unconsciously accept many things they are told without reservation. "The whole phase ol visual aid is reaching a danger point’” Dr. Carlson declared. "Too many TV viewers are losing a normal desire to think out personal and national problems for themselves. They are letting TV programs do it for them.” Dr. Carlson, in Paris on a European survey of his university’s study tours, said there are things more important than TV shows, modern comforts and leisure time. “Americans must acquire a better appreciation of America’s domestic and foreign problems or they can’t gain a real understanding of what’s happening in Europe and the rest of the world,”’ he said. The educator believes the American TV public should have opportunities to discuss freely the country’s problems on TV forums — or at similar meetings. He said Americans must be awakened to a “questioning mood” with open minds concerning European and Asiatic problems. He believes America’s universities could aid greatly toward this end. Dr. Carlson said that liberal thinking and freedom of expression in the United States “has probably been dampened” by re- - cent years of “witch-hunting, bookburning and teacher-purging attempts.” But he doesn’t think it is serious. “Book-burning and attempts at teacher-purging were deplorable and totally unnecessary,” Dr. Carlson said. “People must be given the basic truths of communism to understand it. How can anyone know the facts If they are denied them? And the tendency in the United States has been to deny the facts.” However, Dr. Carlson does not believe the so-called "Red hyster-

ia" that swept America has altered American educational methods. United States educators are "very alert” to any possibility of Red “infiltration” in the educational system, he said, and would do everything to prevent it. Dr. Carlson added the control and survey of America’s educational methods can be left safely in the hands of its educational institutions where he thinks they should be. % ■ ■ . .

V J More Home Buying In U. S. This Year Mortgage Loans To Eclipse 20 Billion WASHINGTON (INS) —Americans apparently are going to buy and sell more homes—and go deeper into debt—in 1054 than in any previous year even though output of new houses may lag a little. This is the prediction of government housing officials who«aythat U. S. families will buy more than 2,000,000 new and old houses- this year. And for the first timei, the home loan bank board says that the volume of mortgage loans will pierce the $20,000,000,000 mark and may come close to 22 Miltons-. This compares with $19,747,000,000 worth of mortgages written last year and the 110.405,000,000 recorded in 1950 when home huild-

Uniforms Show Stylish Touch MEMPHIS. Tenn. (INS) — The sheath look with a tucked front, side kick pleats and back zipper closings will variety to white cotton uniforms this fall. The National Cotton Council says that most women who wear uniforms will still choose white, but they will have a variety «f styles to select from. Also featured are three-quarter raglan sleeves, wing collars and soft skirts with deep pockets, . ing established -the all-time record. Officials explain the eeeming paradox of rising credit and somewhat lower housing production by pointing out that families are buying an increasing number of older liouses. In addition, credit terms are easier. Families are putting less cash down and receiving larger loans to lie paid back over longer periods of time.

Later this year, effects of the new housing law on federal housing. administration loans and sales spurred by the national home week observances- across- the country are expected to boost total figure® on the volume of mortgage lending. The national association of home builders reports that national home week was celebrated in more than 200 cities last mouth with the number of visitors- and sales during . the shows- reaching an all-time high. Final figures are not yet in. but NAHB says that “more people saw more houses, bought more houses, learned more about new houses—than ever before.” In Philadelphia some 200,000 persons were reported to have inspected 60 model homes. NAHB officials tsay the reports show “a strong market for houses and- special interest in opportunity to do comparative shopping for houses.” They add: ‘‘Total houses bought across the country'will be in fantastic proportions for onej week Vonce nt rated effort."
