Backed by money put up by three Insurance companies, Klutznick and Manilow have gone far beyond the usual "subdivision" conception of building which normally provides only for housing and lets the other necessities of living and commu-nity Integration take care of them-selves. Park Forest today contains 3,010 rental apartments in groups of two, four, six and eight residences per unit. Each apartment has Its own private entrances, lawn and com-munity "tot-yard- " In the rear. These are now fully occupied by most of the 13,000 village residents. A dream is coming true for two men of vision on what, a little more than three years ago, was nothing but 2,400 acres of corn fields and grasslands 27 miles south of Chicago. Their dream is taking shape in the form of one of Amer-ica's most unusual communities which already has a population of 13.000. The community now an incorpo-rated village Is the first ever built in America (and, perhaps, in all the world) from a master plan which describes, situates and in-tegrates not only houses and apart-ments, but also schools, hospital, churches, shopping center, recrea-tion areas and industrial site. It is called Park Forest, Illinois. It is expected to have about 30,000 population, the majority of them children for it is a place where children are wanted in two to three more years when the build-ing program is completed. OVER AND ABOVE the rental units are the first of what will be 5,000 to 8,500 houses-for-sal- e largely two-- and three-bedroo-ranch houses, each on a lot of at least 60 feet of frontage. These houses are selling for from $500 to $2,500 less than comparable houses anywhere In the Chicago metropol-itan area because of cost reductions made possible by mass purchase and construction of materials. There are now 25 stores and shops in the shopping center of the vil- - One of the most remarkable ad-vances in the building industry and In community planning. Park For-est was basically the idea of Philip M. Klutzick, an Omaha attorney who was commissioner of public housing during World War II, and Nathan Manilow, the biggest pri-vate builder of homes in the Chi-cago area. These two, with other associates who joined them in the idea later, formed American Community Builders, Inc., for the purpose of lage, and there is room for 75 more. The center, situated around a grassy "mall," has wide sidewalks shielded by permanent, canopies to protect the shopper from the elements. The first of eight schools and eight churches are now nearing completion, and a hospital and a segregated Industrial area are next to be developed. Heated exclusively by natural gas, the village Is smoke-free- . Even the Industrial area will use gas. Curvilinear streets, a $1,000,000 water-softenin- g system, complete sewerage and drainage facilities, and huge public recreational areas are among the other attributes of the new village. Most of the heads-of-famil- y are employed in Chicago, from which Park Forest is situated 45 minutes by commuter train. Average age of the adult population is striking-ly low a mere 29. Family income averages $5,800 a year. Perhaps the progressive spirit of the community can best be typified in two of its buildings the motion picture theater and the super-market. The theater seats 1,100 and not only shows movies, but also features art shows, afternoon teas, free coffee and snacks and a sound-proof "cry room" for discontented small fry. The supermarket is one of the world's largest It has a unique, high speed telephonic check-ou- t system and conveyor belts which whisk the patron's groceries from check-ou- t counter to the point where they are assembled for sack-ing or boxing. The customer is out of the store in an average of about 50 seconds from the time she wheels her grocery-lade- n cart to the check-out counter. As might be expected, Klutznick, who is president, and Manilow, treasurer, of ACB, have already been asked to undertake the build-ing of similar communities in sev-eral other areas in the country. To do so would require a gargantuan outlay of energy and capital but they're thinking about it 'SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS f of Main Street and the World Small Business Casualty of Defense; Meat Price Rules Confuse Consumer THE FOUNDATION THREATENED According to several nation-al economic surveys made public In the last week or so, small business Is becoming a casualty of defense. This Is a serious and frightening fact for thousands of small towns, because about 3,670,000 small businesses form the foundation of the American economic pyramid, many of them located In the home towns of the nation. In the first two years of World War II, 18 per cent of the small bust- - nesses of the country were forced to close down. There are reports that many observers believe the fatality rate in the present de-fense mobilization program may be even higher than in those years. A Washington report revealed that congressional small business committees are receiving an av-erage of 500 letters a day appeal-ing for information and help from small businessmen. Several reasons are given for the present difficulties. The most important are shortages of ma-terials allocation of steel, alum-inum, etc., from civilian con-sumption to defense projects; the Inability of small business to qual-ify for defense contracts; and the expansion of big business to avoid subcontracting, formally a profit-able source for small business. UP A TREE Mild mannered, popular Gen. Omar Bradley, remem-bered by thousands of World War II veterans In the home towns of Amer-ica as the "GI's general," put the combined senate armed services and foreign relations committees up a tree during his testimony on the re-moval of Gen. Douglas MacArthur from his Pacific commands. To begin with, General Bradley caused a stir among the Republican members of the committees by upholding the administration's actions with the sweeping statement that General MacArthur's Korean plans "would involve us In the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy." But when he flatly refused to tell the senators about his private talks with the President on the recall of MacArthur, he chased the committees up a tree. For a day committee members argued among themselves whether they should take some kind of contempt action against the general. They voted 18 to 8, however, against such action expressing the view that it might set a dangerous precedent. To the home town veteran, however, It seemed more likely the sen-ators remembered Gen. Bradley's popularity with the men that make up a big part of today's Main Street population. NEW DRAFT LAW Senate and house conferees, attempting to reach a compromise on the two bills previously passed by the groups, finally reached a settlement calling for extension of the draft until July 1, 1955, with men of 18 V4 eligible for Induction for 24 months of service. The old draft bill expires July 1. The new one will require all men to register on becoming 18. They would be examined and classified before they were 18V and would be eligible for Induction thereafter, providing the pool of men from 19 to 28 In their individual draft districts had been exhausted by the local boards. The bill will put a five million person celling on the combined army, navy, air forces and marines. It also requires that all draftees, volunteers, and reserves have at least four months' basic training before being as-signed outside the United States. UP TO OLD TRICKS After rejecting American plans for a peace treaty with Japan, the Russians reverted to their old tricks in proposing their version of a treaty. The Soviet plan, which was rejected by the United States, would bar foreign forces from Japan after the occupation ends and thereby block an arrangement for American troops to help pro-vide Japanese security. It was the same type of thing the Russians so successfully carried out In Korea and which led to the present situation in Asia. No one can be-lieve the Russians thought the United States would accept their plan, but on has to give them credit for having the nerve to suggest it There is little possibility now of Russia joining In the American peace treaty which is nearlng conclusion. BEWILDERED HOUSEWIVES Home town housewives entered their Main Street stores and meat markets on Monday, May 14, without their usual dread of visiting a meat counter. The government had Just ordered a cut in meat prices. After one Quick look she became a startled and confused housewife. For the next 10 days she became more bewildered. Meat prices were not down according to her figures but upl What the home town housewife saw was porterhouse steak up 7 cents a pound and sirloin up 9 cents. Round steak was down 2 cents not enough to mention, and short ribs of beef down 8 cents as she had expected of other cuts. According to the government, however, the up and down price Juggling of beef actually produced an over-al- l savings to the housewife of one-ha- lf of 1 per cent. This she couldn't understand. One-ha- lf of 1 per cent didn't do a thing for her meat budget. FAIR TRADE RULING-- By a vote of the supreme court ruled that merchants who did not sign fair-trad- e agreements are free to charge cut-rat- e prices if they wish. Under the laws of 45 states, distributors of trade-mar- k or brand goods may enter into agreements with retail dealers to sell their products at filed minimum prices. Under the new court ruling, however, the home town merchant who did not sign such a contract or agreement can sell the prod-uct at whatever price he desires. The only states not having fair-trad- e laws are Vermont, Texas, and Missouri. The ruling will have little effect on most classes of merchandise as long as business is good, most Main Street businessmen believe. This would not hold true, however, if business went Into a slump. armMiBlkH1,.' rrxrW WW"WWW'HW.WIW tW.,wim.,,A,m,Ll(i ABiMipL..k',Wi.l .m nq, I ' lit'.

Wilkinson CHUCK WALLACE was hard Women didn't bother him much. Flying did. He owned his own plane and specialized in doing free-lanc- e Jobs for private interests, and performing rescues for reward money. He had I 1 quite a reputa- - tlon. When, at 3M!nut the annual pUots' ball, he was pre sented to red-headed Alma Mallory he wasn't im-pressed at all. Alma was. She had heard of Chuck. Alma was very modern, very sure of herself, used to getting what she wanted. She wanted Chuck. Chuck wasn't quick to catch on. When finally he realized what she was up to he had almost fallen into her trap. He was glad when news came in that a young flyer had been lost in the north woods. It gave him a chance to get away. The fact that the young lost flyer was Don Mallory, Alma's brother, didn't bother him at all. This was business. Old Man Mallory, through his law-yers, had nffereri fat reward. Alma was very modern, very sure of herself, used to getting what she wanted. And she wanted Chuck. "What do you think? Don's my brother." She had brought along a lot of the things Chuck hadn't thought neces-sary. There was nothing he could do Chuck Wallace loaded up and took off the next morning in his seaplane. That night he set down on a little wooded lake, 150 miles from the nearest habitation, and established m base. The next day he began systematically to comb the country. In the afternoon he returned to his base, and received a shock. There was another plane riding on the surface of the lake. He saw a figure standing on the shore. It was Alma Mallory. "What's the idea?" he asked. aooui ner oemg mere, so ne set up one of the tents and ate the supper she cooked for him. The next day he flew west and covered a strip 25 miles wide. But he didn't sight anything, and was genuinely worried when he returned to the base that night THE next morning, Just before he sighted a plane on a lake 50 miles east of his base and set down, taxing up beside it. A man stood on one of the wings and called to him. Chuck scowled. He didn't like this. Not a bit of it. . . . At 2 o'clock he returned to his base and found it deserted. Alma and her plane had gone. He swore and packed up his equipment. The next morning he reached his home landing. He went home and shaved and bathed and got Into bed. He was dead tired, but he couldn't sleep. The next morning he took a taxi to the Mallory home and asked for Alma. A butler told him that she had gone down to Briarsfield to visit friends. The friends' name was Hanscom. Chuck caught a train for Briarsfield that afternoon. He ar-rived at 5 o'clock and located the Hanscom home. Alma, they told him, was out horseback riding with a chap named Rodney Nuys. Chuck rented a horse and went looking for her. Two miles from the Hanscom home he came to a spot where the bridle trail widened. There were two horses in the clear-ing, standing close together. Rodney Nuys was trying to kiss the rider of the other, a d girL Chuck rode up close and clipped the gent so hard he fell out of the saddle. Then he grabbed hold of the girl and shook her roughly.

He said he didn't think it was so smart for his sister to give out that he was lost, when he really wasn't Just so she could send Chuck Wallace up into the country and then follow. What's' the idea?" Alma looked at him defiantly. "What do you think?" she said. "You big indifferent lummox I And why do you think I gave up and came home?" Chuck blinked, but maintained bis hold on her arm.

GRASSROOTS Re-Armam-ent Costs Average Family Budget $2,000 more months in which to exercise his authority, or to exercise his known Impetuosity. In the meantime he might use both on some less valuable members of those he has appointed to public office. It is about time he took seriously the appointment of men to positions of public trust and not appoint them for political or personal reasons only. He should not let impetuosity and expediency rule his sense of service. Dean Acheson will be known to history as the world's greatest second only to England's Chamberlain. The President says we "must pay as we go." To do so he draws on By Wright A.

They find It amounts to $2,000 each family must pay just to meet the President's rearma-ment figure. That Is a lot of money for each family budget to supply. The President is never sure of the figures he sends to congress. He is inclined to take the word of those in the armed services. They guess at the cost take all they can get and make it do the Job.

Likewise, the rising demand and Increased prices for farm commodities led iarmera to add to their debt They borrowed heavily to buy additional equipment and machinery. The department said the debt however, was only 54 per cent of the record reached in 1923. Twelve states have a higher mortgage debt than in the peak year of 1923. These are New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New Jer-sey, Delaware, Virginia, West Vir-ginia, North Carolina, Florida. Ten-nessee, Alabama, Louisiana and New Mexico. |
