 CAUSE WORRY
100000 of Them Without Work. Are Tramping All Over the Nation and May Become Menace
By HARRY FERGUSON

(Unitcd Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Aug. 18-UP)- The federal government is in the midst of a vigorous campaign to rally all social welfare agencies to the task of salsoging 100000 children in America's army of Nomads.
 The factor of time is all-import- ant in this struggle, officials say, because If the wanderers are al- lowed to remain too long on the road they are lively to form a per manent army of social parasites. The children's bureau of the de- partment of labor hopes to arouse cities and states to the gravity of the plight of the minors driven from their homes by the business depression.
 "A campaign of publicity Is needed" said Dr A. W. McMillen of the University of Chicago, who did field work for the children's bureau Eve must impress parents and teachers with the suffering and sazards the boys face. We also must have a national remedy. There should be a na- tional transient service fund to be allotted to towns and cities which can prove that they have trans sient problem they cannot meet unaided."
 McMillen approved of a circular sent by Postmaster General Brown to be placed fin all post offices. warning minors. of the dangers of leaving home with no job or set destination in view.
 "In Cotton, Calif." he continued, "a citizen impressed by the plight of the. boy wanderers set aside a field for jungle Neither local nor railroad police are allowed to enter it."
 The children's bureau makes these suggestions:
 "The situation calls for two types of community activity-one preventive, one protective. The ob- feet. of the preventive campaign IS to induce boys to remain at home All social workers may help by bringing personal influence to bear lupon boys who show signs yot | restlessrless. Great care must be taken to rob the open road oi l the glamor which 1t naturally holds for the venturesome lad.
 Despite all these eorts many boys will continue to take to the open road. For such, protection from as many of the moral and physical hazards as possible should
 be afforded. Communities should
 provide shelter and food of accept able quality. Boys should not be
 passed on to the next town, but there should be training pro- gram"
 The bureau is particularly inter.
 ested in eliminating the state oi mind illustrated by this incident: A railroad detective had beer
 trying to get some of the boy wan.
 derers off a freight train. They
 refused to go, so he took put hi'
 pistol and said he would shoot Il they did not leave.
 "Go ahead and shoot, but do 6
 good job," one boy shouted. w, might as well be dead as be thi'
 way"

Keen interest was exhibit ed in the so-called commodity pool, announcement of which which was anticipated some time to-day.

Belgian Scientist Surpass- ed His Own Record With Balloon = Had to Start Down for Own Safety

 Zurich, switzland. Aug 1S-(UP, |-Professors August Piccard, Bel |gian scientist whose record break ling flight today carried him more than 10 miles into the air, radioed Zurich at 11:O5 a. m. EST that his balloon was descending to prevent Ia forced landing in the Adrtatic sea. It was indicated that the profes- sor's observations of the cosmic ray in the stratosphere were highly successful. He took off with Max Cosyns as a passenger at 5:05 a. m. from Zurich. A few hours after the takeoff as he approached the Italian bor- der. Professor Piccard sent his first radio message, saying "all IS we'll"
 As the balloon reached the Swis- Italian border, reports were re- ceived which indicated Piccard had beaten his altitude record of last iyear by 1000 meters, or more than half mile.
 Thousands of spectators cheered as the lean, bewhiskered professor stepped into his balloon with his as- sistant Max Cosyns, and gave the signal for his second ascent into | the border regions of space at b:05 a. m. They left earth as calmly as IAhough starting a motor trip. | From one of the windows Pic card thrust his hairy head. Every one saw that he was smiling. Mrs Piccard stood just outside with the four Piccard children.
 Bon jour-" he called. "Bon iour.I Marianne! Bon jour, mes enfants!" he waved to his wife and children.
 Noiselessly, the great balloon swept into the air. Lights were visible to those on the ground. but the huge balloon travelled so fasl that soon, in the breaking dawn, Il was out of sight. .l l Professor Piccard, anxious to on tain invaluable knowledge of tho cosmic rays influence upon man. Ilsind, seemed jubilant rather thar concerned as he prepared TOT tne takeoff.
 "No, he told reporters. T an not after an altitude record" Last year he went higher thar man has ever ventured-hignei even than the Andean Condor fiie' --in his quest for scientific know Hedge. Yet today. benign and un perturbed by the hazards of his un dertaking, he was the picture of 2 man off for a weekend in tht country.
 The reticent scientist admitted tt lreporters before the takeon that hs intended to stay aloft all day. Nt one would see him, he said, within eight hours.
 He and Cosyns had stored some bananas, oranges, peaches, choco Hate, bread, and about gallon anf a half of drinking water inside thu lgondola.
 Twenty minutes after the takeoff the Swiss aviator, Frederick Nit ltelholzer, alighted and said that ht Ihad flown with the balloon to { height of 1000 feet. 4,
 "He was going up so fast, he de ciared. "that I decided to abandon the pursuit"
 There waa- little chance of hear ling from the balloon even thougf lthe gondola contained a radit transmitting device. Professor Pic card said that he would be tot
 busy with his other instrument Ito bother with it except in ar emergency. He carried the radis 0nly for use when he returns tt earth-to determine location ana weather conditions.
