f AG EIGHT (Tint Section) THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER FRIDAY. Suburban Lure Wrecks Cities, Experts Say CHICAGO (UP) Mass migra tion to suburban areas wrecks great cities, In the opinion of Svend Riemer, visiting professor of soci ology at the University of Chicago. Decentralization of population and business are no answer to the problems of city planning, he told the Institute of the Society for So cial Research. Desirable living conditions in the suburbs which draw people from the heart of cities bring about "urb an blight a condition of earlier and now self-defeated centraliza tion," Riemer said. Riemer said the basic task of housing, neighborhood and city ( planning is to provide a physical setting which accommodates occu- pational and private lives most con veniently and efficiently. Better residential districts at the 1 edge of cities must be bought at the cost of long commuting dis- j tances, Riemer said. j Fearless Party Of 13 Tackles Lone Isle MELBOURNE, Australia (UP) Thirteen members of the projected Australian Antarctic expedition will spend 15 months on Heard Island, 2,000 miles southwest of Freemantle, Australia.

It has never been sur veyed. Sevcnty-Mile-per-hour winds blast the island almost continually and it is sometimes blanketed by fog. The party will live on fish, panned eees and meat. The men will make weather and scientific observations.

MARSHALL, Owner - Operator WANTS LABOR LAW AMENDED Republican Representative Clare Hoffman of Michigan claims that congress may have to amend the Taft-Hartley labor law. Hoffman a member of the con gressional committee which drafted the law says the NLRB legal staff has misinterpreted it to the det riment of labor. Hoffman says that NLRB coun sel Robert Denham has caused a virtual labor boycott in the NLRB by his misunderstanding of the anti-Communist affidavit provision. Under this clause, unions must file affidavits that their leaders are not Communists. If they don't Den ham claims, the law provides that violating unions are denied NLRB privileges. Hoffman says he doesn't think the act intended this. And if it does, he says, he's satisfied to have it amended. But Senator Joseph Ball, Minne sota Republican, feels otherwise. He says he doesn't expect Republi can leadership to support any amendments in the law. And he predicts that the GOP will use the labor act as is for its labor plat form in the 1048 elections. CHURCHILL MAKES BID The British Conservative party is once again making a bid for con trol of the nation.

Welch St " Oct. 3-7-10 OPENS WAY FOR AID RALEIGH Attorney General Harry McMullan has lopped off the last legal barrier to communities getting federal and state aid for building hospitals under the good health program. He says the fed eral government has met the terms of the state law, so that the funds may now be released to communi ties which put up at least one- third of the cost. But the medical care commission warns that con struction costs have skyrocketed so much that communities will either have to raise as much as 50 per cent more money, or build smaller hospitals than they had planned.

The commission, in cooperation with a similar group in Tennes see, is now holding a series of con ferences with the National Park Service, working also in coopera tion with members of congress in this connection.

Forest Fire (Continued From Page One) 15 counties rests with the State Division of Forestry and Parks. Limited funds have permitted pro tection of only 1.4 million acres, and even here it has not been ade quate. Foresters find that almost 500 fires still occur in these coun ties in an average year; they burn about 3 percent of the total forest area. With adequate protection it should be possible to reduce this burned area to one-fourth of one percent annually. In his announcement of the pro ject, Mr. Beichler made public this statement by Willis M. Baker, director of the TV A forestry rela tions department: "TVA attached great significance to this cooper ative venture and to the twin ob jeciives of watershed protection and resources development it will help accomplish. Many of the Ten nessee river tributaries, including the Watauga, Pigeon, French Broad, Little Tennessee, and Hi wassee, have their origin in west ern North Carolina a region of steep slopes and heavy rainfall. With the annual burn reduced from the present 50,000 acres to less than 5,000 acres, we expect great ly improved water absorption by trie sotl. Surface run off will be re tarded, erosion and siltation less severe, stream flow more uniform. Then the privately and municip ally owned lands will better sup plement the protection already af forded the watershed by the na tional forests, and by the National Park, and Indian Service lands. We also expect that the increased ex penditures now being made will pay off abundantly in the future as the quality of the timber grow ing stock is' improved through elimination of fire defect. There are a large number of diversified forest industries in western North Carolina; they are vitally import ant to the economy of the region. A permanent supply of high qual ity raw material must be assured to keep them operating." The project, set up to run five years, has these specific objectives: (1) provide adequate fire protec tion for 1,687,000 acres of private ly and State and municipally own ed forest land in Avery, Buncombe Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood! Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madi son, Mitchell, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga, and Yancey Counties; (2) demonstrate how the area burned annually can be reduced to one-fourth of one percent of the total forest area, a standard usual ly recognized as a safe business risk and satisfactory in terms of watershed protection; (3) provide protection for a small area of TVA land in Swain County; (4) determ ine amount of money and length of time required to achieve desired standard of fire control; (5) test the effectiveness of the semi-volunteer warden type of forest fire con trol. Mr. Beichler said that most em phasis the first two years would be placed on building up the fire sup pression organization to peak effi ciency. After that, an intensive educational program will be carried on in an effort to cut down on the number of fires. He indicated that half of the present number of fires might be a desirable goal. There will be no change in the administration of the state's for estry program in the area. The new project will be under the direction of three state District Foresters B. H. Corpening at Asheville, C. C. Pettit at Sylva, and Acting District Forester A. D. Williams at Lenoir. The fire suppression organization when completed will include a full time county forest warden in each county, some 13 towermen, 20 smokechasers and approximately 245 district wardens and some 44 fire crew members. Towermen, smokechasers. District Wardens and lire crew members are em ployed on a part-time or seasonal basis. The' back wings of a beetle found In Java are used as dress ornaments.
