More Than $4,000
Aliens Employed
By Government
Figures Submitted in
Response to Senote
Resolution

More than $4,000 aliens are in the
employ of the United States Govern
ment.
This information was contained in
a compilation from the departments
and independent establishments SUBJ
mitted yesterday in response to 4
Senate resolution sponsored by Sena-
tor Mcclellan, Democrat, Of Ten
neSSee.
The War Department reported it
had more than $4,000 alien employees
in the Panama Canal Zone, while
the State Department showed 1900
In embassies, legations and con-
Sulates abroad.
In the Panama Canal, the War
Department listed 1900 alien canal
workers; 1900 railway workers and
l08 laborers at the Panama air
depot.
Woodring Explains.
Native labor is generally employed
in the Canal Zone an in the Philip
pine Islands because of climatic con-
ditions, lack OF quarters and the
inability to obtain sufficient citizen
labor with appropriations available"
Secretary of War Woodring ex-
planned. There we're 26 alien laborers
reported at the Philippine air depot
in Manila.
The State Department said its
aliens consisted principally Of in
terpreters, clerks. typists and mes
sengers. It advised that to recruit
and train persons for these services
in this country and to transport
them to the foreign stations would
be far more expensive than en-
ploying qualified aliens locally at
salaries commensurate with local
practice"
Other Ofices Report.
Commerce and Agriculture each
employment Of IS aliens
in their foreign ofilces, and the
Veterans Administration, 81, mostly
in menial jobs.
The Social Security Board said
two aliens are employed here be-
cause of their special knowledge Of
social insurance systems,
and the Bituminous Coal Commis-
sion reported a German technical
adviser on the pay roll.
Several of the appropriation bills
for this year forbid the employment
of aliens in continental United
States, and citizenship is 4 requisite
for civil service employment.

Maintain Spanish
Arms Embargo Is
Plea Of Speakers
G. U. Professor, Attorney,
Former Ambassador.
And Nurse Speak

An overflow crowd ut Constitution
Hall last night heard 4 Catholic
University professor, . lawyer, q
Red Cross nurse and a former am
bassador to Spain urge that the
United States maintain its embargo
on shipment of arms and war ma
terials to either side in the Spanish
Civil War.
The speakers insisted that strict
neutrality was necessary to avoid
possibility Of this country becoming
entangled in the conflict, and de-
nounced propaganda for lifting the
embargo In favor OF the Loyalist
government as Communist in
spired."
If these pressure groups were 4
little more interested in American
democracy and a little less inter-
ested in so-called Spanish democ-
racy, both America and Spain would
be better off," declared the Right
Rev. Msgr. Fulton j. Sheen of Cath
Ollie University.
Martin Conboy, New York attor-
ney, insisted that the peace of this
country which our neutrality policy
Is intended to protect is above the
desires of sympathizers with either
the 1nsurgent or Loyalist factions
In the Spanish strife.
Seek to Destroy Democracy.
This country's first ambassador to
the Spanish Republic. Irwin Laugh
lin, described the history of Spain
as one Of "inc@sant internal war
fare" and charged that "subversive
forces in Spain are directed toward
destruction of American democracy"
Miss Aileen O'Brien of San Fran
cisco described the horrors of war
she Witnessed as Red Cross worker
Tor ID months in strife-torn Spain
and declared that supporting the
Loyalist forces by lifting the en-
barge against them would be ito
approve arson" She estimated IT,
600 religious edifices had been
burned in Loyalist Spain.
The mass meeting was arranged
by the Keep the Spanish Embargo
Committee, sponsored by the Ma
tional Council of Catholic Men, to
organize opposition to pressure from
other groups for allowing arms
shipments to the Loyalist forces.
$500 Turned Away.
More than 1000 persons packed
Constitution Hall to capacity half
an hour before the program began,
and some $500 were turned away
from the doors.
Msgr. Sheen said there were two
classes Of people interested in lift
ing the embargo:
First, international propagandists,
and secondly, true, loyal Americans
who believe the Loyalist cause to
bs just. The first must be ex-
posed; the second must be an
swered."
He criticized as Communist in
spired" the groups he said were
promoting the propaganda against
the embargo.
"Why is it," he said, that all
these organizations have condemned
two Of the three anti-American
ideologies, namely Nazism and Fas-
cism, but never a condemnation of
the third and most insidious ide-
ology, namely Communism"
Msgr. Sheen emphasized that he
vas not urging support of either
side in the Spanish conflict, assert
ing that Nazism, Fascism and Com
munism were equally antagonistic.
The purpose Of the Keep the
Spanish Embargo Committee" cam
paign is simply to keep us out of
somebody else's fight" he added.

The Youth hostels of Connecticut, sponsored by the American Youth Hostel movement of Northfield Massachusetts, were exempt in the recent legislature from the tourist home tax law. Mrs. T. B. Frank, of Windsor, president of the Con- necticut League of Women Voters and member of the Windsor hostel committee, was influential in pro- curing this new legislative change. The Connecticut State Legislature ruled that hostels are educational and health facilities which are pur- posely meant to be inexpensive in order to help young people to a greater knowledge, understanding and love of the world.
 The tax was collected in North Stonington, Connecticut, but when an attempt was made to enforce the rule in Windsor Mrs. Prank brought the matter to the attention of the legislators. Of the 200 or more hos- tels in the United States, about 70 are located in New England. Nine of them are in Connecticut, as fol- lows: Cornwall Bridge, housepar- ents-Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wheeler; East Haven, MT. and Mrs. William E. Gillis; Haddam-Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. McFadden; Kent---Mrs. Marie Imbert; Old Lyme-Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Wightman: Water ford-Mrs. Beatrice Labensky; West Granby - MT. and Mrs. Lertoy Dewey; Wethersfield-Mr. and Mrs. William O. Haskell; and North Stoningt gton-Miss A. M. Burdick.
 The youth hostel idea originated in Europe about thirty years ago, and since its inception no European country has ever levied tax on hostels. In 1894, Isabel and Mon- roe Smith. former teachers and scout workers, brought the move- ment to America, establishing the first hostel at Northfield, Massa- chusetts, where the National head . quarters is now located. The youth hostel idea spread like wildfire in New England, and Connecticut, state authorities. unaware of the nature of the movement, classified hostels as tourists homes and taxed them accordingly.

CLUBS PROMOTING

State Department Assists With Movies, Speakers
 and Leaflets

A sane public attitude toward health and disease founded on sci- entific knowledge acquired through wide distribution of health facts under the guidance of qualified health leaders is gradually super seding old fashioned ideas which were based on ignorance and super stition, asserted Elizabeth c. Nick erson. director, Bureau of Public Health Instruction, in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. Due to an awakened in- terest in science and recent cam- paign to tell the truth about syphilis and cancer people are now eager to know about health promo ton and disease prevention. They no longer speak of these diseases with bated breath and are looking to professional groups for authentic health information.
 Health officials who take the pulp lie into their confidence and show them why and how they are con- trolling disease and preventing in- sanitary conditions are providing people with valuable weapons against sickness and death, accord- ing to Miss Nickerson. Rapid prog ress in public health has resulted in community fostered health activities that will benefit infants, children and adults of all ages as well as rnothers-to-be.
 Those mothers who take their children to the family physician for regular check-up and guidance or to special health conferences where physicians and nurses give them ad- vice about health care, Miss Nicker- son said, gain knowledge about child health that prompts them to adopt these zsleasures not 90 much because they were recommended by the

Hostels are for hik- CTS, bicyclists, canoeists, faltboaters, and horseback riders, - for those who live the simple life of the open road. Hitchhikers, tourists, or peo- pie who travel in cars are not ad- mitted. Cooking facilities are pro- vided, as well as hunks and blan- kets; each hostel is but fifteen miles from the next, and each has offi- cial houseparents.

He said, "the teachings Of Christ

us as Christians, and it is only
through love and charity that hate
will be trampled and conquered"

clared this to be "the greatest trap-

Sand dollars are found on the
beaches from New Jersey northward
The shells are empty when you see
them cast upon the shore, as the
animals that made them and lived
in them are gone.
For a collection they make inter-
esting additions and swell the num-
ber Of shells until they can be re-
placed by others that are more
beautiful and rare.
Sand dollars are fiat circular disks
about inches in diameter. Look on
the upper surface of the shell and
you will find the ambulacral zones
separated by five petal-like lines
which form very pretty, starlike
figure.
The sand dollars mouth is in the
center of the ventral surface. About
the opening are fine short, silky
spines, resembling promising mus
tache, and purplish-broWn In color,
when the sand dollar lives in the
water and is in the best of health.
When taken out of the water, the
WnlSKerS turn green.
OF the Nantucket shoals thou
sands and thousands of sand dollars
form what seemed like paved floor
for wide and long area. Haddocks,
founders and cod seek this place to
feast upon them, yet their numbers
never seem to grow less.
This special name was chosen be-
cause some one imagined that a
silver dollar with thinness of
three-eighths of an inch, would cover
inches, the size of mature sand
dollar. The little sea-bottom rover
has fine coat of many spines that
gives it the appearance OF being clad
in soft velvet.
The fiat figure of the sand dollar
enables it to hold its position IN the
sands. Neighbors with more ro-
tund shape find themselves rolled
and tossed about far from home by
the currents of water. A deep blan-
ket of sand does not trouble the sand
dollar one bit. Instead, this strange
little creature is perfectly at home.
1t can disappear quickly into the
sand when foes appear. 1t can also
turn handsome somersault to right
itself. Existence is either on top Of.
or in the sand, and may be from
low-water mark to 800 fathoms or
more deep.
They travel by means Of their
spines, mouth side down, seeking
minute animals and plants. They
cannot use discrimination, but must
take up mouthful of sand and use
whatever it holds for them. There
is nothing exciting in their way of

this Ink was the one used in Bible
