the congress has Frederic william VILE.
White House backing. Monday
night Mrs. Roosevelt permitted con-
gress leaders to confer at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion with 13 Senators
and q Representatives who have
shown interest in youth problems. :"
Before the forthcoming institute ad-
journs. the A. Y. c. will be addressed
by both the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. During their three days
in town, the pilgrims" will also
storm Capitol Hill in the guise of
fervent lobbyists for and against

What youth" Is For, Against.
It promises to be one of the most
strenuous buttonholing sieges which
members of Congress have wealth.
cred in many day. The Presidents S
budget apparently is one of the A.
Y. C.'s pet aversions. 1t opposes the
SIS 100000 cut in funds for the Ma
tional Youth Administration, a slash
of $16,000,0O0 in the Civilian Con-
servation Corps allotment, a reduce
ton of $500. .000, 900 for w. P. A., and
of 100000 900 for public works. The
youth congress also disapproves of
the S1,300,000,000 naval expansion
program and other increases in ma
tional defense expenditure. At least,
this is the A. Y. C.'s state of mind
toward current legislative projects,
judging by action taken at the end
of last week by its largest single
national unit, the New York Coun-
Gil of the American Youth Congress,
which assembled en- masse to formu-
late a line of conduct for this
weeks Washington assemblage.
Also Opposes Aid for Finland.
Justly or unjustly. the American
Youth Congress has been under
heavy fire on charges of being one
of the numerous Communist Front
organizations maintained, financed
or at least morally encouraged by
Soviet Russia. A. Y. c. leaders have
never forgiven the Dies committee
for reminding the American public
of this afflliation, although the COM
mittee's final report pointed out that
the vast majority of young people
connected with the congress have no
association with Communism, Nazi-
ism or any movement of that sort,
despite the fact that the Young
Communist League has at times
exerted an influence (within the A.
Y. c. out of all proportion to its
size. At New York on February
the big local A. Y. c. Council. with
only five dissenting votes out of 1000
delegates, took decisive stand
against the granting of American
loans to Finland. 1t held this is IAN
attempt to force America into the
imperialistic war" Thereupon the
council adopted a statement on
peace" which condemned President
Roosevelt's attitude on the Finnish
question and approved as slogan

Washington Observations
American Youth Congress on Record Twice
This Winter for Soviet Against Finland

agrees that the proof of the pudding
Is in the eating. She cannot be un-
aware that the A. Y. c. attitude
toward help for Finland, as exhib-
tied at New York last Saturday,
parallels action taken by the youth
congress as whole in national con-
vention assembled at Madison, Wis,
during the recent Christmas iloli-
days. On that occasion, 1t will be
recalled, the congress by an over
whelming majority vote rejected
resolution censuring Soviet Russia
for it's barbarous invasion of Fin
land So the A. Y. c. has gone on
record twice in favor of Stalinism.
Just a few hours before the New
York council declared against loans
for Finland, Ambassador Constan-
tine Oumansky paid his first call at
the State Department since his re-
cent return from Moscow. No state
ment was issued either by him or by
Secretary Hull as to the nature Of
the Ambassadors representations.
But the omniscient newspapermen
who regularly cover the State De-
partment duly reported there was
every reason to believe the Red AM
bassador had protested Cd against
the idea of United States Govern
ment aid to Finland and (2) against
the unneutral zone of the American
press toward the Soviet Unions "de-
fensive war" on the Firms. 1t was
also mooted that Mr.. Oumansky re-
monstrated against alleged refer
ences by Assistant Secretary of War
Louis johnson to Red Army con-
scripts as "serfs."

Immature Butting In.
Supposing the American Youth
Congress were taking its orders from
the Soviet Embassy-which, of
course, it is preposterous even to
imagine-what instructions from
Ambassador Oumansky would he
rather have the A. Y. c. carry out
than to table resolutions condemn
ing the Finnish invasion and pass
resolutions opposing American loans
to Finland? In the language of
Wallace Irwin's immortal Japanese
schoolboy in California generation
ago-"I ask to know" Even Amer
ican youth, not yet dry behind the

Naugatuck, Jan. 13--A fast and exciting game is expected tonight when the Naugatuck and Torrington high hoop teams clash ct Torring- ton. The game is expected to prove Q real test of Coach Peter J. Foley's two team plan.
 It was predicted by observers at the outset of the season that when Naugatuck met the tough" ones, the best players from the two teams whi1h have been used each game, would be the only ones used. How ever the extra pep given the locals through the use of the two.team plan Is credited with hesf1g the de- termining factor in the Garnet tri- uimph over Ansonia high this week.
 A large crowd from Naugatuck will so to Torrington tonight to support the locals. It was erroneously stated yesterday that the game would be played in Naugatuck.
