Says Army Faces Shortage Of

Washington. Dec. 10 Up - The
army faces decided shortage OF
pursuit and bombardment air
planes but congress. not the war
and navy departments, is to blame.
Major General Mason NJ. 4ltrick,

the court there had been practical
ly no training" OF air service per
sonnet in bombing exercises with
100 and 1000 pound bombs in
the last two years. This. he said,
was due largely TO lack OF condi-
tons for such training and to his
decision that good training could

ECONOMIC TROUBLES
BREAK UP HOMES
New York Welfare Speaker Gives
Her Views on Domestic Trib-
uIations,

New York. Dec, 10 R--Economic
difficulties are the causes OF most
broken homes, said Miss Alice L,
slegsberg. executive director OF the
Jewish children's bureau OF New
York, In an address today before the
state conference OF charities and
corporation. The conference is being
attended by more delegates than any
previous state charities gathering.
Discussing child marriages, Mrs.
Sidney c. Borg social worker, classi.
fed the causes OF these under I'VE
heads.
The compelling factor" she said,
is frequently the mans desire to
escape punishment for his acts by
marrying the girl. With the girl the
determining factor often is the de-
sire TO avoid commitment TO an IN.
stitution because OF her disorderly
conduct. Possibly the strongest mo.
tive Is the desire 10 protect the off,
spring by eliminating It, and then
there are many instances Of girls de-
string to get away from homes that
are unsympatheuc to them. We must
not forget also that those who are
genuinely in love often do not wish
to wait for the years to bring them
greater wisdom"

ing heavy fines, demanding women.
