For most American families one of these sites, com-plete with fireplace and picnic table and benches, is within a day's driving distance of home. The areas will accommodate 280,000 people at one time, insuring plenty of elbow room unless you choose a very popular area near a large city during a long weekend. The forests provide boundless activities. The 750 rangers man-aging the areas don't organize trips for you; they don't serve as guides. However, they are friendly men. ready to answer questions, direct you to points of interest, and make your visit a pleasant one. M ' if M. tp M American designers are ex-erting a greater influence every day on the mode of living in this country. Their activi-ties include everything from fishhait to huge industrial plants. AAA Miles of Trails If it's sittin' and eatin' you want, the ranger can tell you where to get the best scenery with your meals. But if it's rockin' you want with your sittin', you'll have to bring your own chair, or patronize one of the 50 privately owned and operated resorts on national forest land. What you do in the forest is pret-ty much up to your individual taste. There are 136,000 miles of trails, forming in places a maze of foot and horse paths. In the west the Pacific Coast Trail system tra-verses the cascades of the Pacific northwest and the Sierras of Cali-fornia, north and south across the United States from Canada to Mex-ico. In the east the Appalachian Trail stretches more than 2,000 miles from Mt. Katahdin in Maine to Mt. Oglethorpe in Georgia. Designers Have Big Influence On Mode Of Modem Living From the time you shut off the alarm clock in the morning until you flick off the reading light at night, literally everything man-mad- e you use, touch and see is the result of the creative genius of a designer. Think about what you use in the course of a day your toothbrush, toaster, hat, car, pen, radio, type-writer every implement, building, article of clothing was first a de-signer's dream. Among the many types of de-signers . . . fashion, architectural, interior decorator, etc. ... the one which perhaps most influences our mode of living is the industrial de-signer. This man is artist, archi-tect and engineer rolled into one. From his practical imagination, drawing board and models emerge the shape of things to come . . . our tools of living, from toys to heavy machinery. He, more than anyone, is concerned with your future comfort and joy of living. Short trails leading to scenlo points offer half-ho- to half-da- y jaunts for the tired business man and his family. The more experienced woodsman can plan a backpack trip of several days' duration, camping nights at three-side- d shelters usually spaced 10 to 15 miles apart In the East. For those who want to hike unen-cumbered except for personal items, the Appalachian Mountain Club of Boston operates a chain of huts in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where one can bunk for the night, get dinner and break-fast, and have a trail lunch put up at a reasonable rate. Design for Comrort One of the nation's foremost in-dustrial designers is Dave Chap-man of Chicago, of the national Society of Industrial Designers, who has fashioned some of the articles you use. Your own refrigerator, juicer, stove, washer, flashlight, clock, razor, coffee pot, hammer, fishing lure or sewing machine may be his design. The less adventuresome can join hiking clubs the Sierra Club, tiie Obsidians, the American Alpine Club, the Appalachian Mountain Club or some of the smaller trail and mountain climbing clubs throughout the country. Many of these clubs run organized trips for members into the national forests. Fine Fishing Offered For rugged individuals the For-est Service has set aside 14 mil-lion acres of real wilderness. Un-touched land preserved in its or-iginal state for future generations, these areas present a real chal-lenge to those with a pioneer spir-it. No roads lead into these wilder-ness areas. You walk, ride horse-back, or paddle your own canoe and carry grub and equipment to last you the length of your stay. You can be your own guide and your own cook. You probably aren't aware of it, but the myriad of things you take for granted are pleasant and satis-fying because they are the right color, texture, weight and size. Why? Because before whatever the object may be was finally pio-duce- d in the form you know it, a designer handled it, played with it, broke it, fixed it, tore it down, lt it, tested it on countless others and lived with it until he was sure what you would like best. The designer eliminates all guess-work wnere your pleasure is in-volved. He knows what you will On the national forests there are like. many swimming areas, 70,000 miles of streams for fishing, and 100 million acres of good hunting country. There are 120,000 miles of forest highways and roads for the motorist or bicyclist. AAA Because his creations must be pleasing to millions, the in-dustrial designer must be gift-ed with a super sixth sense. He has to know intuitively what will strike people, then work with engineers and production men in perfecting the product. Requisites for its success: look better; be more durable and efficient; be easier to keep and keep up; cost less than Us com-petitors. rtvK . : foe - k - v' . 4 i irtL'iaB.. X&Jtt&Kt. Important Field Like most of his contemporaries, Chapman f.nds relaxation and in other arts. Some de-signers write, paint, do sculpture or compose music, in addition to then-- ues.gning. Chapman is an architect, recognized oil and water color painter, muster black dim wmte and color photographer, and collector of rare books and ethnic recordings. As our culture progresses, our tastes grow finer, more exacting. We expect better and better things! So the industrial designer is grow-ing in importance to our happiness. Your "crystal ball," revealing what you will use in the future, is the industrial designer's drawing board today. Right now, he's busy creating what vou will use in 1955 and 19G0. Hundreds of trails like the one above wind through our na-tional forests. The picture above is of Pilchuck Trail in Mt. Baker National Forest in the state of Washington. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS .

Walker gained fame as com-mander of the 20th corps In I'atton's Third Army. KOREA: Gl's Take Beating As the Korean battle went into the fourth week it became apparent to every American that U.S. troops were taking a beating. They were outnumbered; tanks were inferior and too few; guns and bazookas could not pierce the h armor of the Russian made tanks. They were pinned to fox-holes by tanks, artillery and mor-tars; overwhelmed by massed in-fantry, sniped at from the sides and rear by infiltrating columns. Taejon, provisional capital of South Korea, was abandoned after the Kum river line was broken by thousands of fanatical Communists wno charged American positions without regard to casualties. They overran first aid stations, killing patients and chaplains, and for every one the Americans killed, ten took his place. MOBILIZATION: Is It Near? Many observers are wondering if complete mobilization of this country's manpower and industrial strength is in prospect for the near future. Some believe it is, unless the world situation takes a sudden and unexpected turn for the better. Within a matter of hours after this writing, President Truman was expected to go before congress and outline for the American people steps deemed urgent to cope with the Korean war. He was also sched-uled to speak over a nation-wid- e radio hookup and tell Americans just where we stand. One official predicted the Presi-dent would: 1. Request new military funds or contract authorizations totaling $5,000,000,000 to $0,000,000,000. 2 Propose legislation authorizing 160,000 more men for the army above the present legal limit of 837,000 and 60,000 more for the Navy, which now cannot exceed ObG.882. An increase may also be ordered for the 502,000-ma- n air force. American forces began a slow Withdrawal which appeared would halt some 35 miles southeast of Taejon where a range of hills of-fered a natural defense position. Whether or not they held this posi-tion would depend upon reinforce-ments and the continued flow of guns, tanks, and ammunition. No matter how optimistic a view an observer was inclined to take, the situation appeared ser-ious. As has often been the case in the past, Americans greatly under-rated North Korea's military strength and fighting determination. Facts of the situation Indicated: North Korea had 10 to 15 divisions 100.000 to 250,000 men, with re-placements handy from the armies of Communist China when needed. At least 200 tanks, with replace-ments also available from Russia, and almcst unlimited supplies be-hind the lines in Siberia and in Manchuria. United States would need eight full divisions, perhaps 250,000 men. The inadequate supply of tanks and heavy artillery in the Pacific would have to be remedied. The one bright spot in the picture was the work of the U.S. air force which had knocked out tanks, bombed and strafed troop concen-trations and supply lines, and driv-en the North Korean planes from the air. But military observers pointed out that air power will greatly in-crease the chances of victory, but the Korean war, as has been the case in all wars, will be won by the soldier who fights through mud and rain and cold and heat. The foot soldier has not been replaced with push-butto- n warfare, as yet. HOME FRONT: Controls Likely Observers on the home front are predicting limited controls to back up an intensified military campaign in Korea. At this writing the controls had not been asked for, but observers pointed out that action was becoming more urgent with each day. They predicted President Truman would ask for them within a very short time. A request for higher taxes, to cover an expected jump in mili-tary spending, was held to be in-evitable. Government officials were pre-dicting privately that President Truman would ask congress: 1. Power to allocate by volun-tary means, or more drastic mea-sures if necessary steel and a few other basic metals. 2. Authority to put quantity ceil-ings on the production of automo-biles, television and radio sets and other civilian products consuming large quantities of metal, so that the demands of these industries will not interfere with arms production or create a "gray market" in prices. 3. Restoration of consumer credit controls. By tightening up on easy-payme- nt credit for automobiles and other consumer goods, it is hoped that some of boom-leve- l buying de-mand may be removed from the market. McCarthy: Called a Liar Senator Joseph McCarthy, who has had more front-pag- e publicity In the American press than any one man in a number of years, has made the front pages again, but not to his liking. The senator, stlU screaming charges of communism In the state department, was called a liar by three Democratic members of a senate investigating subcommit-tee. Reporting their conclusions from a four-mont- h inquiry, they attacked the Wisconsin Republican in terms of harshness rarely used In the senate's history. They accused him of conscious falsehood and of serv-ing the interests of the Communists by raising baseless suspicion among the people of the country. They cleared every person Mc- Carthy accused of being a Com-munist. LABOR: Mobilization Urged At least one labor leader, Wil-liam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, has demanded all-o- preparedness for any eventuality, including moboll-zatio- n of labor. "We find ourselves facing a situ-ation with the implication of a third world war .... If war is localized now, we know it is only a question of time until the inevitable happens. Only adequate preparedness can safeguard us," Green said. He added: "We cannot send our soldier to the fighting front with-out training equipment and regu-lar supplies .... We must pro-vide quick transportation which will increase mobility .... There will be no side lines secure from bomb-ing ... . There must be mobiliza-tion of labor." The Republican members of the subcommittee, Senators Hicken-loope- r and Lodge, declined to sign the report. The Democrat members termed McCarthy's charges "a fraud and a hoax perpetrated on the senate of the United States and the American people " Their report said, in part: "They (McCarthy's charges) rep-resent perhaps the most nefarious campaign of half truths and un-truth in the history of this republic. For the first time in our history we have seen the totalitarian tech-nique of the big lie employed on a sustained basis. "The result has been to confuse and divide the American people, at a time when they should be strong in their unity, to a degree far beyond the hopes of the Com-munists themselves, whose stock Jn trade is confusion and division." SOVIET UNION: An Olive Branch Although no official announce-ment has been made, it is believed Jn many quarters the Soviet Union has offered terms for settling the Korean war. It is a bloody and wilt-ed branch the Russians are hold-ing out to the United Nations. After the sugar coating of diplo-matic language is penetrated, it aeems Russia would be wiLing to call off the affair after China is stated in the United Nations. Electoral College In what observers believe to be one of the strangest line-up- s in modern political history, the house killed, 210 to 134, the proposal that would have m a d e a presidential election more nearly reflect the popular vote. The senate approved the consti-tutional amendment last spring. The measure needed a twe thirds vote. Had it passed, It would have needed approval by states. ECONOMY: Profits and Prices As the Korean war roared Inti its fourth week much of the newi was being made on the home fron in the form of profits and prices. Government agencies announced after-ta- x profits of American manu facturing firms as a whole wer nearly five percent higher in tr. first quarter of 1950 than in thi fourth quarter of 1949. At the same time the prices ol foods, especially meat and coffee, took an upward swing that made many consumers catch their breaths. At least one congressman, Rep-resentative Klein of New York, de-manded an investigation of high living costs and profiteering. He went so far as to charge bakers and dairies with "soaking the con-sumer without conscience." "Meat prices are threatening to turn this country into a nation of vegetarians anj ruin the cattle raising states," he said. Also on the economic front, the Federal Reserve Board said pre-liminary figures show that indus-trial production reached a new postwar peak in June. Production was estimated at about one percent higher than the pre-vious postwar peak of October-Novembe- r, 1948, and 17 percent above the level of June, 1949. Some highlights on the net pro-fits report: 1. After-ta- x profits were $100,-000,0- higher in first-quarte- r 1950 than the preceding quarter, but unchanged from the 1949 first-quart-mark of $2,400,000,000. 2. The rate of return on stock-holders' equity was 12 percent in first-quart- 1950 against 11.6 in last year's fourth quarter and 12.8 in its first-quarte- r. 3. Dividend payments to stock-holders totaled $1,000,000,000 against $1,700,000,000 in last year's fourth quarter and $900,000,000 in first-quart- er 1949. 4. Profits per dollar of sales rose to 6.2 cents from 6 in last year's fourth quarter and 6.1 in its first quarter. 5. Setasides for federal Income taxes amounted to $1,500,000,000 in both the 1950 and 1949 first in fourth-quarte- r 1949. EDUCATION: No One Flunks A new trend in education 100 percent promotion of pupils in the lower grades is reported by edu-cators. Educators won't come right out and say no one flunks any more in the lower grades on the ground that some elementary pupils still need the threat of failing to spur them on, but it's true that fewer are flunking. The new trend seems to be based on four points: 1. Little is learned by repeat-ing. 2. Failure merely discourages and does not aid pupils. 3. There is no reliable way of determining failures. 4. Real failures cannot do the work, no matter how often they re-peat. This is a long jump from the days of reading, writing and arithmetic and the rule of the hickory stick. The educators sum up their re-port: "Nonpromotion is an admission of an inadequate school program and has no place in a school where children are motivated properly and work to the level of their capaci-ties. "What is looked on as a pupil failure may be a teacher, super-visor, or administrator failure." Into Battle IM& 1 f . r - :; : ' - t The realities of the Korean war were impressed on Ameri-cans In every walk of life as this country's soldier went Into action ia Korea. Scenes like the one above were grim re-minders to Americans that the foot soldier is still the work-horse of war. A group of U.S. soldiers above are nearing the front. HENRY WALLACE: What Now, Little Man? Henry Wallace, who calls himself a progressive but who has been the darling of the Communist prejs since his visit to Russia, now finds himself consigned to the ranks ol Wall Street buccaneers by the Daily Worker. Observers are wondering whal will be the next utterance of this muddled thinker who was once the Vice-Preside- of the United Statei and greatly liked? WDMAH DETECTIVE Private Eye Bars Heroics NEW YORK - Modern writers have made the detective into a hard hitting, drinking character who takes everything in stride and has a reputation of being a tough hombre. That in itself is ridiculous, but whn one sees Mrs. Grace Marie Legay, it becomes down right silly. Mrs. Legay is an attractive grandmother with auburn hair and blue eyes. She is the only woman hotel detective in New York, and possibly the United States. She wouldn't be caught dead peeking through a keyhole, and finds strong-ar- tactics foreign to her temperament and quite unnec- - cessary. Job Is Prevention At the Commodore Hotel where she is employed, she said, "Antic-ipation, that's much better. Our job is prevention to head off inci-dents before they happen, to sport the dubious character before he, or she, causes trouble or mars the hotel's reputation. Dramatic ac-tion? Almost never. Just quiet, con-tinuous surveillance." Mrs. I.egny is the daughter of famed detective Mary Sullivan but not until the war years did she go into training at the Police Academy where one of her teachers was her mother. Her first job was at Penn-sylvania Station. She spent four years there. Like the nine other house detec-tives and thirty patrolmen at the hotel, Mrs. Legay spends much of her eight-hou- r day, six-da- y week just "cruising." This means riding the elevators, walking through cor-ridors, popping in on housekeeping employees, mingling with guests in the public rooms. Special assignments may call for her prettiest hat she has a weak-ness for hats or even formal dress. Then she joins the party, which may be anything from a wedding reception to a convention banquet, to provide watchful pro-tection for mink coats and jewels. Avoids Heroics What would she do if her prac-ticed eye told her she had a crimi-nal on her hands? "No heroics," she said. "I'd quietly excuse myself and make a few phone calls. One call would alert the office of Walter Clancy, chief house detective, and bring reinforcements. Another would alert the management, Itself. I'd be in action detaining the suspect, of course, but I can't detain any-body forcibly. At Penn Station I used to carry a gun in my shoulder bag, but I've never carried one here." Mrs. Legay handles all the daily reports from Mr. Clancy's staff to the city police and to the hotel management. It is on her own time that she turns real "private eye." spending from three to five hours a day in a detective agency in which she and her mother are part-ners. "I'm not at all sure I like it any better than house detective work," she said. "I love them both, but don't bother me with any detective fiction. Never read it."

It is all because their offspring have launched into a hunt for lightning bugs at 25 cents per 100. Young Oak Ridge, being economy minded, was immediately interes-ted in the offer of Dr. Bernard L. Strehler to buy 100,000 fireflies at 25 cents per hundred. Dr. Strehler, formerly of John Hopkins University, wants them so he can study their tail lights and find out how their lighting system works. At this point Strehler suggested the youngsters find a cool place to store the bugs until they are col-lected. He suggested the refrigera- tor. That made the mothers storm. They callrd the newspaper where the bugs are to be delivered Re-frigerators all over the town were beginning to overflow with fire-flies within a few days. The scientist said he hoped to learn the scientific principle which caused the energy which produces the firefly's tail light. Woman Granted Last Wish--To Die in Freedom FLINT. Mich. - Mr,.
