Carlucci Mansion to Be Razed; Vandals Have Ruined Interior One of the last of Scrantons mansions is about to pass from the city scene, its destruction a mark of changing times, rising costs, higher taxes and a new way of life.

The building is the luxurious home erected by Frank Carlucci about 1905 at the southeast comer of Poplar St. and Clay Ave. The building, like Hotel Casey and the Court House ih Wilkes-Barre, is one of the monuments of fine construction work of Mr. Carlucci in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. Built of cut limestome and imported Italian marble it stands on Jiillside overlooking the northern portion of the city in what was at the time of its erection one of the exclusive residential districts of Scranton.

bv Don Patterson speaker Advertising Club To Hear Patterson Here on Thursday Don Patterson, supervisor of educational operations, Intensive Business Training Program, City College of New York, will be the speaker at a meeting of Scranton Advertising Club Thursday at noon at Hotel Jermyn. Mr. Patterson is president of the Institute of Human Research in Industry. He is the former sales manager cf the Northern Union Gas New York City; president of the Special Sales New York City; divisional sales manager of Roberts Man-der Stove Pennsylvania; assistant director of industrial relations of the Republic Aviation Long Island, N. assistant director of industrial and public relations of the Colt Patent Firearms Manufacturing Hartford, Conn.

he is an exponent of the Roosevelt New Deal and Roosevelt ideas. As a small demonstration, he was the first Connecticut Governor to name a woman and a Negro to his staff. As a Government official (juring the war, Bowles was on the internationalist side, although he was not directly involved in furnishing the answers to most foreign questions. In 1940, as a New York advertising executive, Bowles was listed as a member of the America First organization which then was urg' ing the United States to stop sending aid to Great Britain. He dismisses that by saying that his relationship with America First was predicated largely on friendship with its director.

As price administrator, Bowles won the enmity of a large slice of that once graced the city it seems destined to disappear as the othr ers, leaving lots for new, but less spectacular, homes of more moderate cost.

Confused Stockholders Aided With Finances by Corporations By H. C. JOHNSON NEW YORK, June 11 (JP).

Mrs. Jessie Adler of Miami Beach, had a complaint. The annual report of United States Steel she said at the companys recent yearly meeting in Hoboken, N. was too confusing and hard to read. Other stockholders protested immediately that the report was very easy to read.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Adlers criticism must have cut Big Steel to the quick. WASHINGTON, June 11 W. Count Gov. Chester Bowles of Connecticut in on the, 1952 Presidential nomination race as one of the white hopes of that segment of the Democratc Party which classes itself as liberal.

Friends figure that if the gang ling former OPA chief can make the grade for reelection as emor next year he will be set to bid for the nomination if President Truman decides not. to again. Just now Bowles spare mo' ments are occupied deciding what to do about filling the Senate vacancy that will result from the surprising decision of "Senator Baldwin (R-Conn.) to accept Bowles offer of a place on the State Supreme Court next December. He has an opportunity to dramatize his efforts to wear the liberal label if he can find the right man: Connecticut politicians say its almost certain Bowles wont clear the way for his own appointment to the Senate. He apparently thinks the road to the Presidential nomination has fewer detours through the Governors office, where the record is made mostly on state issues.

Of course, the Republicans could spoil all of Bowles plan if they manage to push him out of office in the 1950 Governors race. He barejy skinned by last November, although President Truman lost the state. Relations between Mr. Truman and Bowles seem now to be friendly. Bowles probably would like to forget now that he went on a national hookup last Spring to declare that the Presidents chances of election were slim to the disappearing point and to add that the Democratic Party cannot, and will not, unite behind the President.

Despite this false start, there is no apparent feeling in the administration camp that Bowles didnt do his best for Mr. Truman in the Connecticut campaign last fall. Thus.ff Mr. Truman doesnt run himself he might not have to stretch a point to include the 48-year-old Governor on any list of those acceptable to him. Bowles geographical position generally is regarded as a drawback.

The New England Electoral College vote is small. Bowles own state casts only eight votes. New York has 47 and Pennsylvania 35. But Bowles friends point to Mr. Truman and his 15 Missouri electoral votes as evidence that times and political thinking have changed.

As one of the founders of Americans for Democratic Action the Connecticut Governor pretty well represents a line of thinking that has some outstanding, if not materially large, backing within the Democratic Party. As far as he can make himself, had color including 10 with four-color covers. Thirty-one of the 44 used at least one additional color inside. Statement of earnings and balance sheet.

Someo that old opposition to Bowles would be almost certain to rise again in a Democratic convention.

Labor always has liked Bowles. He began his public career by loading the Connecticut State OPA staff, of which he was the director, with something like 150 labor representatives. He has a 75-cent state minimum wage law in his Connecticut platform. He has long advocated low cost housing and increasing old-age pensions. Early in 1948, when it looked like there might be a depression, Bowles was talking about tax cuts and retaining rent controls and was plugging for a national health Insurance plan.

Cusick, now president of the Standard Brewing in 1911, and Mr. Cusick made his home there with his brother-in-law and sister, Attorney and Mrs. James Bell, until 1936. Since that time the home has been vacant and has been in arrears in taxes, with title passing the city on Nov. 16, 1936.

It gradually suffered the ravages of lack of care and the rampages of small boys and vandals, and its windows were broken and boarded up and rain and snow seeped in and destroyed the plaster and wall paper. ite barricades, children continued to break in and explore the once-luxurious structure, and eventually after numerous complaints were received from residents of the area, the Department of Public Safety condemned the building as a fire hazard. Some of the fittings had already been stolen, and it was decided to raze the building, since no purchaser for it could be found. The work of razing was turned over to a cohtractor who was authorized to sell the material he took out of the house. Plumbing and electrical fixtures and flooring were in short supply immediately after the war, and these were the first things to be ripped out.

The tile floors and marble staircase were left intact, though the latter was stripped of its balustrade, but the hardwood floors, heating plant and waterpipe fittings were sold at once. Edward J. Coleman, city treasurer, said that the razing is to be continued, though no date has ben set for its completion. He estimated that taxes on the building would amount to approximately $750 a year and said he presumes the building can still be purchased, though the contractor assigned to tearing it down would probably have to be reimbursed. The building is still a substantial structure of graceful architecture, but the interior is a shambles and a number of the heavy stone exterior decorations have toppled from their mountings.

No estimate was made of the amount that would be required to restore it to its former brilliance.

The University of New Hampshire agricultural extension reported increasing numbers of farmers in the southern half of the state are growing cucumbers for pickling, By JOSEPH S.

ROSAPEPE NEW YORK, June 11 (P). Hundreds of farmers in 12 Eastern States will boost their cash income substantially this Summer throu'X a new farm vacation program for city folks. Farmers who never before have taken Summer guests are opening their spare rooms to urban residents who want a real farm vacation. Strictly a "paying guest proposition, the program launched by "Farm Vacations and Holidays provides that visitors do no work on the farms they visit. Backed by the National Grange and 12 state grange organizations from Maine to Virginia, the program also has the support of officials of the U.

S. Department of Agricultures extension service. Farm Vacations is sponsored by William P. Wolfe, head of a hotel representative firm which acts for 60 luxury resort hotels in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Mexico. Born and raised on a farm in Delaware, Wolfe considers the farm vacation program the culmination of a dream to make it possible for city families and their children to spend their vacations on real farms.

Wartime shortages and restrictions on travel delayed putting into practice the idea of providing healthful vacations for city folk and increased incomes for farmers, Wolfe said. After many months of planning by Wolfe and Grange leaders, "Farm Vacations is being launched this year in the six New England States, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. The program will be extended to other states next year. A spokesman for the agricultural extension service said the plan has far-reaching possibilities. It is designed to provide a holiday with city guests spending their days swimming, hiking, picnicking, fishing, riding or just relaxing, Wolfe said.

Family-style country meals with fresh vegetables, butter, eggs, poultry, all the milk one can drink, home baked bread and pies are 1 among other attractions. Rates are $25 to $40 a week per person with most ranging from $30 to $35. In many cases rates are lower for children. Wolfe estimated farms which have guests throughout the Sum- mer may realize as much as $1,500 gross income from the vacation program. Typical of Grange sup-! port is the statement by L.

Roy Hawes, master of the Massachu-j setts State Grange, who said the "Farm Vacations plans should be part of every grange program. "The crying need of today is better understanding between the various segments of our society, he said, and I know of no better way to accomplish this than to make it possible for city folks to vacation in a farm home." Urging wide participation, Sidney G. Hall, master of the Con- necticut State Grange, called the program a good opportunity to 1 share the pleasures of rural life I with urban folk and get a better understanditlg of each others problems. "Farm vacations sets the standards for the farms, which must be approved by local Grange officials, but farmers select their guests from those who write them directly after having obtained the list of participating farms. To be eligible, farms must have at least two spare rooms, be able to provide three meals a day and accept guests for at least 10 weeks.

Many, however, plan to extend into October or November for the hunting season. Farms listed by "Farm Vacations include those ranging from two to 200 acres, many on lakes and creeks. Some are in the mountains of Pennsylvania, New I York and the New England States, while others along the Atlantic Seaboard are not far from the ocean. One couple on Marthas Viq-' yard, Massachusetts, whose farm is surrounded by pine trees and meadows with miles of beach nearby, said we have never before taken paying guests, but will try to make the folks feel at home.

The financial reports still contain columns of figures listing income, outgo, assets, liabilities. So what if you can not understand figures! Generally there are graphs presenting in a different way just what 'the columnar figures said. If you dont like graphs, the company probably will portray the figures in picture diagrams. Then, if you still dont get the idea, but like to look at pretty pictures, there are plenty of those.

Business firms are sensitive. They fussed and fumed over an occasional charge maybe from a disgruntled shareholder, a labor official or a politician that business was keeping stockholders in the dark. A few complainers said business firms were neglecting deliberately to report certain operations or conditions. Others said corporations were masking their operations by a jumble of figures and statistics in financial reports that only a certified public accountant could unravel. Business and industry, which feels it is on the spot most of the time anyway, could only respond by trying harder than ever to please.

Executives redoubled their efforts to foster interest and cooperation ajnong stockholders, large and small. One result, among others, was record attendance at annual stockholders meetings this year. General Electric for instance, held its meeting this year at the main plant in Schenectady, N. for the first time. Instead of the usual attendance of 300 or 400, more than 1,500 shareholders showed up.
