unfortunates This is the distressing picture presented' by State Welfare Director Terry Resultant from the reduction of allowances Including the $3 cut put in effect last July which reduced the average grant in old age and other assistance cases the recipients of the relief payments are seriously distressed The rising cost of living as the director points out is responsible for the acute situation together with the increasing number of dependents causing the slicing to amount to about 40 per cent figured on the 1943 price levels There are about 100000 dependents among whom the welfare distribution is made They include aged blind dependent children and others- So serious is the plight of many that in numerous instances they are unable to pay rent or doctor bills That's the situation as the director describes it Budgets for future requirements to have the new legislature's attention next May are already receiving "estimate" attention It would be unfortunate were allowances not sufficient to take care of all of the warrantable needs The fact that prices are much higher than when existing budgets were prepared can not be denied of course and no one yet can see the end of the upward price movement Unless the aged and others in dire need are provided with enough to offset these rising costs of living there is bound to be continued suffering with more "slow starvation" The new legislature Will be confronted with a stupendous task Those elected should not only be willing but eager to get at as many facts as possible relating to the situation so as to the relief problems properly with regard not only for those in need of assistance but also for the taxpayerb If are as many suspect welfare cases not genuinely meritorious they should be immediately dropped Anyway the public should be "let in on" the facts including the names and addresses of those who are recipients of public aid' a privilege so far not available it seems Director Terry regardless of whether or not there are conditions in the over-all setup requiring correction has given Louisiana citi- zens a report that is very touching from a humanitarian standpoint The average citizen certainly does not enjoy information such as this which comes from the welfare management that under way is "slow starvation" for the aged and other genuine dependents The average thoughtful citizen is not going to be satisfied unless all threats of "starvation" are removed and all possible consideration is given those who provide the funds Oct 10 1947 Charles Luckmin Citizens' Food Committee the White House Washington Dear Mr Luckman: I hesitate to butt into your business but since yours is a citizens' food committee I as a citizen take the liberty of making a suggestion regarding your tough job of getting food to Europe It seems to me the hardest job we face is making sure this food is genuinely appreciated by the people of Europe as a friendly sacrifice- from the people of the United States Last year when we sent food to Europe several million tons were unloaded efficiently and unostentatiously at the Havre accepted by most Frenchmen as a matter of course Simultaneously in Marseilles harbor a cargo of Soviet wheat entered with flags flying bands playing There were street parades a municipal holiday and paeans of praise for the great benefactors of the French people Russia Actually the Russian cargo of wheat was a mere driblet capable of feeding the French only a week or Actually it was American grain which supported the French people for months And contrary to the propaganda generally believed by the French the Soviet wheat not only was paid for by the French government but was paid for in hard-to-get dollars not francs Finally that Russian wheat came direct from the Soviet from the Russian 1 11101110111111POLle APIDIS AMTI Mt" 11 qN PnOPULI 13 -Major Events 1 AN 61101110111 IIPIPILle AHD lAZITTI lywol MOVIES vox The Bus Situation io At Little Theatre Long Touring

Reynolds and Robert Hutton Thursday and Of Noon" starring Anne Baxter and William Holden Saturday feature: "Fun On a Week-End" starring' Eddie Bracken and Priscilla Lane A-Good-Will Messenger The motion-picture industry is fortunate to have among its members good-will messengers such as young Roddy Mc Dowall who came to Shreveport for the world premiere of the motion picture "Louisiana" Tuesday and stayed another day in order to give pleasure to thousands of children and at the same time spread the gospel of friendly interest and understanding It was notan obligation in any sense for the 19-year-old film actor a member of the "Louisiana" cast to remain any longer than the expiration of the one day's celebration sponsored by the local Jaycees He could easily have left Shreveport as soonas the festivities were concluded But he learned that many students in the schools of Shreveport and Bossier City wished to' have him visit them not only to enjoy the privilege of seeing one of their screen idols in person but also to become better informed about Hollywood's life This popular demand had his genuine appreciation and despite the opportunity of going elsewhere and doing other things he asked for and received permission from the studio with which he is associated to spend another day in a community he had found especially hospitable and interesting with school children ambitious and eager to learn more about one of the worlds foremost industries After speaking to and answering questions of boys and girls at several schools he contributed to the pleasure of the handicapped little fellows in the Shrine Hospital for Crippled ChUdren This unquestionably was one of the experiences of his life The happy smiles on countenances of the crippled youths judging by the youthful actor's apparent reaction will never be forgotten by the one who represented filmland as a good-will messenger of sterling qualifications just as it Will never leave the memory of any child who saw the talented screen entertainer Although the crippled children's privilege was somewhat different from that of youngsters in school assemblies the students also gave and received memorable impressions Roddy McDowall as an ambassador of friendly interest gave a demonstration at schools and a children's hospital in the Shreveport community that stands out as an evidence of genuine appreciation of the public's favorable impression of motion-picture folks Some members of Hollywood's big "family" have lost the public's respect due to offensive ways of life Some others have been deprived of the public's favor on account of their disregard of the friendly gestures of the average citizen These however do not represent a multitude of screen performers who observe the rules of courtesy' and common sense one of these beingActor Roddy McDowall who by his unusual contribution to the enjoyment of thousands of boys and girls of this community Wednesday brought merited praise not only upon himself individually but upon the many unselfish representatives of filmland who delight in making others happy off as well as on the cinematic screen Roddy McDowall has won the hearts of Shreveport's youngsters whose genuine friendship he fully deserves because of the very fine gesture he made the day after the world premiere when he was strictly on his own so to speak He is the type certain to spread real good will wherever he happens to be I people Not more than a handful of Russian people evert know about it The American wheat on the other hand was saved and collected after a mass campaign by all the American people in which farmers shipped wheat early and every housewife cut down on her use of bread In other words ours was a genuine gesture of friendship to The people of France and Europe from the people of America but the people of Europe never fully realized that this was the case This time Communist leaders In France and Italy an-eady are preparing to unload a few cargois of Russian wheat with great fanfare in order to repeat -their sue cessful propaganda of one year ago They want history to repeat And if we are not very careful it will So my suggestion to the citizens food committee is that this time we take steps to see that the people of Europe evaluate this campaign for ex- actly what It genuine' sacrifice from the heart of America To that end I make the fur- ther suggestion that we ar-- range for the collection of this food direct from the heart of America in such a way that it can be visualized and dramatized and that the real: story will be told to the lions of people we are trying to help Why not dramatize the story ot America's sacrifice by running "friendship train" straight acrais the United States straight through the heart of America collecting food as It goes inspiring the housewives and farmers of the nation to spare a bag of flour or a bushel of wheat and bring it down to the friendship train as their contribution toward friendship with the people of Europe? I am sure that patriotic Gov Earl Warren Would accompany the train through his state to Nevada and that Governor Pittman would then carry on across Nevada to Utah with other governors co-operating in their states I am certain also that every newspaper editor in the cities through which the friendship train passes would be eager and anxious to explain its mission And I know that some of the patriotic actors of Hollywood could and would accompany the train to order 'to dramatize the story of Europe and the part food can play in building a new Democracy Finally I am sure that the original "Friendship Train" starting at Los Angeles with one boxcar to hold the sacks of flour' and bags of wheat donated by the people of each city would add new boxcars at San Francisco Sacramento Reno Salt Lake City Cheyenne Denver and Omaha til it became a great rolling' tribute from the heart of America rumbling across the continent to New York and thence to Europe This visible gesture of the generosity of America would more than offset the cooked-up fanfare of Communist leaders of Europe and would convince the people of EurOpe that this food comes not front the United States government ass part of its for eign policy but is scraped together from every dinner table in sacrifice from the American people to their less-fortunate fellow men Getting food to Europe no matter how it's sent is important But how much better that it be received not as barter between deal whereby the foreign minister of a country pawns his political support to the A in return for a mess of American How much more important' If the recipients of this food Interpret it not as a cold and calculated move but rather what it really movement by the American people stint their own dinner tables to help neighbors in distress who in turn are helped to make Democracy live! Perhaps I'm cockeyed on thtt or perhaps you have a better way of getting this idea across In any event this is merely a suggestion from one citizen vitally interested in the success of yolr citizens' food committee Sincerely yours DREW PEARSON' Who Painted Capitol Dome? Millions of American tourists have traipsed through the halls of the capitol admiring the palmings and frescoes around the rim of the rotunda Many have alto remarked on the painstaking task of decorating these high ceilinb but few have known the histo7 of the man who did the work He was an Italian painter: Collstantino Brumidi who: fled his country after plotting: against the king of Italy Coming to the United States: he spent years decorating the capitol finally slipped on scaffold and died of shock leaving unfinished his last: series of paintings around the rotunda: Now Mrs John Murdock wife of the conscientious congresliman from Arizona hopes to rescue the lonely unmarked grave at the Italian artist and give him proper recognition Mrs Murdock is even planning to do a little personal lobbying with her hue-band to get him to introduce bill bringing posthumous hones' to Brumidi It (Copyright 1947 the Bell Syndicate lee) Try-Outs for Second Production Sunday First Show Opens Oct 20 As the- Little Theatre's twenty-sixth season goes into full swing three major events crowd the next ten days: Try-outs for the second major production "The Magnificent Yankee" will be at 3 'Sunday annual membership enrollment campaign will- end at 5 tr Wednesday and the comedy "Years Ago" will open the season Monday Oct 20 "The Magnificent Yankee" was acclaimed on Broadway last season with Dorothy Gist) and Louis Calhern in the leads Director John Wray Young said At the tryouts Sunday -Young will discuss the play and the characters and hear competitive readings for parts Players and technical workers are invited to attend and Young believes it will be an excellent opportunity for newcomers to become affiliated 'with the active work of the playhouse Technical Director Margaret Mary Young will -register interFested persons in one of the technical departments such as scene painting make-up and lighting Annual membership enrollment campaign continues at a record pace Mrs Albert Dreyfuss chairman stated Persons may secure season memberships in the the-are lobby from 10:30 a m-5 each week-day and at the tryouts Sunday The 1947-48 season will open Oct 20 when the curtain rises at 8:18 on Ruth Gordon's "Year's Ago" a story of a stage-struck girl in the staid setting of 1912 Director Young said the excellent cast includes Nita Greer Jacqueline Russ Charles Koerble Jean Jackson Marylee Strickland Milton Shirah Joanne Larmoyeux Robert Caraway and John A Dilworth III Tteservations for "Years Ago'' will be available at the playhouse box office beginning at 9 a Oct 18 Mrs Frank McElroy box-office chairman announced On that day she said the box will close at 5 but during the play run it will be open from 9 a to 9 Oct 10 1947 Editor The Shreveport Journal: Well the farmer family is still trying to help the buses out I'm begining to a rat Mrs Martin I think you holler too loud The Southern Bus Co hires the buses shot at You notice the shots are low and the scab drivers know all about it I just wonder if that's it Sister!

Where do you get all your information? Wouldn't it be fair to find out just why the men didn't go back to work? Has anybody heard of the Southern buses going through Alabama? The governor of Alabama seems to be a very popular man and has the prettiest girls selected for him to date but he still has enough time to look after the people who elected him Money lenders or Wall street haven't kept him from protecting the Alabama taxpayers Is there a person big enough in Shreveport to call all union and nonunion men together get both sides and demand something be done?

in that city' including aged and little children judging by reports about the results of the closing of quite a number of bakery plants As to the cause of the strike it's "pretty much of a mystery" according to the Daily States with the public "kept pretty much in the dark to date" There Is widespread comment about this strike with many voicing regret that those concerned in the disagreement are not settling the trouble by negotiation Bread is so vitally important that when it's severely short the public feels its scarcity Public health is involved in the situation How'much longer the bread strike continue is subject of speculation of course but there seems to be some reason to feel that Mayor Morrison will not wait much longer before making a move toward having the bakeries resume their normal operations thereby giving protection to the public An idea of how the public is affected may be had from the report that the normal production for New Orleans and surrounding area amounts to three-quarter million loaves daily With most of the bakeries shut down only a fraction of the normal supply is being produced necessitating a rationing system allowing only one loaf to the customer For the public welfare this strike ought to be settled uithout more delay The longer it continues the greater will be the suffering Imported supplies will help of course but they won't take care of the situation as adequately as the operation of the home bakeries It's up to the mayor or some other authority to take a hand at seeking adjustment if the employer and employee fail to agree and the

retired to private life in the quiet and peaceful little community of Lake Providence whose citizens are justifiably proud of this elder statesman's record of public service The fine gentleman to whom we refer is Joseph Eugene Ransdell who despite his 89 years is still actively interested in public affairs and in the welfare of the people Mr Ransdell devoted 30 years of his life to service in congress His work for public health and flood control contributed greatly to the development of nation-wide interest in these important subjects and helped to pave the way for increasing appropriations activities and other accomplishments As United States senator this distinguished Louisiana citizen did much American people and brought important recognition to his own state It gives his friends special gratification to know that he is still able to get about and mingle with his fellow citizens On his recent birthday he was a visitor to his native city Alexandria where he was the recipient of many expressions of friendly interest and the special wish in which we join that he be spared for many more birthday anniversary occasions 04 Senator Ransdell has' done for the state lad

distance than that of horseback riding This was impressed upon the Louisiana deputy just as in frontier times it was impressed upon those who pursued rustlers robbers gunmen and other lawbreakers The incident having to do with the apprehension of the two car thieves "off the highway" prompts the suggestion that our Louisiana authorities include in their personnel and equipment some good
