FRIDAY. MARCH 10, 1961
Real Estate
Offensive
Proposed
WASHINGTON (/P)—Presi
dent Kennedy proposed a
$3.25-billion offensive yester
day to revive the housing in
dustry, put better homes with
in the reach of millions, and
help the nation’s cities root
out decay.
Underscoring the importance he
attaches to these problems, Ken
nedy told Congress he wants the
housing agency raised to Cabinet
level.
Presumably, this would make
the housing administrator, Rob
ert C. Weaver, the first Negro
Cabinet officer in U.S. history.
Kennedy’s 10-point proposal,
outlined in a special message, in
volved few new programs but
rather called for considerable ex
pansion of existing measures and
some significant changes in them.
Some elements like Kenne
dy’s request for an additional
four-year, $2.5-billion authoriza
tion for Wants and loans for
eliminating city blight are rel
atively non - controversial, al
though Congress might cut the
totals.
The point most likely to
strike sparks on Capitol Mill is
Kennedy's request for author
ity to build 100.000 more low-'
rent, subsidized public housing
units in about three years' time,
with half earmarked for fhe
elderly. Public housing always
has been a bitterly fought issue.
Recalling Senate opposition to
Weaver as housing administrator,
some observers thought it likely
tin's opposition might carry over
in consideration of Kennedy’s
plan to establish a new Cabinet
rank department of housing and
urban affairs.
Among the least controversial
of Kennedy’s housing items were
proposals for a 12-18 month test
program of no-down-payment, 40-
year mortgages for low-cost
dwellings.
Thompson Back
After %' Talk
MOSCOW (fP) U.S. Ambassa
dor Llewellyn Thompson returned
optimistic yesterday from a four
hour talk with Premier Khrush
chev in Siberia.
Thompson told reporters he de
livered a message from President
Kennedy to Khrushchev at the Si
berian city of Novosibirsk. The
premier, now on a farm tour, had
invited Thompson. Apparently he
was eager to get the President’s
message, for never before had
Khrushchev permitted a diplomat
to make such a journey.
Thompson said he met Khrush
chev outside Novosibirsk for a
session lasting two hours and 40
minutes. It was then he delivered
the message from Kennedy. The
ambassador stayed on for a long
luncheon.

WORDS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE
Today let us bike up (lie subject of etymology (or entomology,
as it is sometimes called) which is the study of word origiiiß
(or insects, ns they are sometimes called).
Where are ivord origins (insects) to be found? Web sir, some
times words are proper names that have passed into the language.
Take, for instance, the words used in electricity: ampere waa
named after its discoverer, the Frenchman Andre Marie Ampere
(1775-IS3G); similarly ohm was named after the German G. S.
Ohm (1781-1854), watt after the Scot James Watt (173 G-1819),
and bulb after the American Fred C. Bulb (1843-1912).
There is, incidentally, quite a poignant little story about Mr.
Bulb. Until Bulb’s invention, all illumination was provided by
gas, which was named after its inventor Milton T. Gas who,
strange to tell, had been Bulb’s roommate at Cal Tech! In fact,
strange to tell, the third man sharing the room w-ith Bulb and
Gas was also one whose name burns bright in the annals of
illumination—Walter Candle!
The three roommates were inseparable companions in col
lege. After graduation ail three did research in the problem of
artificial light, which at this time did not exist. All America
used to go to bed with the chickens. In fact, many Americans
were chickens.
Well sir, the three comrades—Bulb, Gas, and Candle
promised to be friends forever when they left school, but success,
alas, spoiled all that. First Candle invented the candle, got
rich, and forgot his old friends. Then Gas invented gas, got rich,
bankrupted Candle, and forgot his old friends. Then Bull) in
vented the bulb, got rich, bankrupted Gas, and forgot his
old friends.
Candle and Gas, bitter and impoverished at the age respec
tively of 75 and 71, went to sea ns respectively the world’s
oldest and second oldest cabin boy. Bull), rich and grand, also
went to sea, but he went in style—as a first-class passenger on
luxury liners.
Well sir, strange to tell, all three were aboard the ill-fated
Lusitania when she was sunk in the North Atlantic. And,
strange to tell, when they were swimming for their lives after the
shipwreck, all three clambered at>oard the same dinghy 1
Well sir, chastened and made wiser by their brush with death,
they fell into each other's arms and wept and exchanged'for
giveness and became fast friends all over again.
For three years they drifted in the dinghy, shaking hands and
singing the Cal Tech rouser all the while. Then, at long last,
they spied a passing liner and were taken aboard.
They remained fast friends for the rest of their days, which,
I regret to report, were not many, because the liner which picked
them up was the Titanic.
What a pity tliut Marll>oros were not invented during the
lifetimes of Bulb, Gas, and Candle! Had there been Marlboros,
these three friends never would have grown apart because they
would have known how much, despite their differences, they still
had in common. I mean to say that Marlboros can be lit by
candle, by gas, or by electricity, and no matter how you light
them, you always get a full-flavored smoke, a filter cigarette
with an unfiltcred taste that makes anyone—including Bulb,
Gas, and Candle—settle back and forget anger and strife and
smile the sweet smile of friendship on all who pass!
Another peaceful smoke from the maker * of Marlboro it the
brand-new unfiltered king-site Philip Morris Commander.
Try one toon and find out how welcome you'll b 9 aboard,
