...news these four-to-six page papers (average newsstand price: about five cents) print is as definitely circumscribed as a correspondent's movements in Russia. Foreign news is pretty much identical, even to headlines, in all eight papers. Editing is slanted, and, by selection, news distorted. Crime news, despite the fact that there is an abundance of crime to report, is played down. There is considerable criticism of the arts.

At least 3,000,000 families have no place they can all their own home, and 10,000,000 more are living in rickety shanties or slums,--in the breeding grounds of vice, crime, and disease. And instead of being on the up-grade, housing starts have dropped from 100,000 a month in the fall of 1946 to a meager 42,000 in March...
