Nebr.) in a letter released to day, told Manly Fleischmann, Administrator of the Defense Production Administration, that he was afraid Mr. Fleischmann did not fully grasp the urgency of the need for additional school construction, In view of Fleisch mann's recent sharp cutback in the quantity of steel allotted for that purpose. The full text of Senator Butler's letter is as fol lows: Quote November 15, 1951 Receipt is acknowledged of your recent letter in reply to my 1 series of letters running b--': as far as September 6. in vM.vi I have protested again- ',.e sharp restriction on schoo' con struction during th coming months on the basis cf current steel allotments. I appreciate your concern about the school J situation, but am arraxa you may not have fully oroed the ur gency of this problem. By next September, school en rollment U expected to increase by over 1.700,000, and these ad ditional children will be added to a school system which Is al- I ready over-loaded, unless school ' construction can go forward promptly and in large volume. . In addition, there is a heavy j backlog of school construction needs which has built up over the past several years. Irryour : letter, you state that school con- ! struction will be permitted on a level equal to that of 1950, but this comparison is entirely in appropriate, in view of the much more urgent need for schools at this time. The children cannot wait for their schooling until this de fense production is over. We shall have to keep on building schools for some years, despite the tightness of the present steel situation. It is my understanding that you are now reviewing the steel requirement for schools in ac cordance with the request of the Senate, as embodied in a Senate Resolution passed in the last few days of the session. I would suggest that as an absolute min imum, enough school construc tion be permitted at least to take care of the increased en rollment of 1,700,000 children who must enter the schools in less than a year. Such a policy would do nothing to relieve the backlog, but might at least make the situation bearable for the time being. To repeat a statement con tained in one of my previous letters to you, I refuse to believe we are in such a crisis that we cannot educate the children properly. End quote. Pfc.

Our wife, reading Dorothy Dix, be comes incensed at some ne'er-do-well described by an overwrought Nellie. Then she looks at us, thinks the shoe fits, and bashes us over the head with it. Comparison of as to some un regenerate who has done in poor Nell makes our gizzard writhe. We're a good hubby. We're provi dent rotate the feeding days of the kids fairly and even have their names on the waiting list of one of the better poor houses. We're so kind the family doesn't quail whe we shout. "Who the devil tore the sports page!" We're angry because our likenes? to the rake isn't co-incidental. Love lorn columns are a plot to keep man in perpetual atonement for suspected sins, and women readers encourage the columnists to por tray husbands in the guise of devil? to keep a crimp in hubby's halo The columnists incorporate adu' tery and sadism in a villianou? boob whose character they ther weaken with addition of some of our minor vices. It's pretty insidious how Dorolh Dix's scoundrels get us in the soup We're at breakfast with our wife fading the paper and eating frank furters, (who can afford bacon?) Wife read in Dorothy Dix how poor Nell is twittered over a tramp who cheat! his grandmother out of her old age Pension at whist and has designs upon Mary Worth. Under hit kisses Nell is as fluid as scalded molasses and has the self-control of a squashed egg, so she lets him Persuade her to jilt her well-heeled boy friend to marry the tramp who's so lazy be can proxute ber nothing to eat but frank furters. Miss Dix deprecates the match, and so do we on account of the assumption our wife will draw from , the frankfurters about the tramp s character nd ours.
