vice, C. w. Washington of the

Education, Frank Musala, State
Apprenticeship head, Agnes

School, P. Hughes of Speed-O-

Dinner will be served at 6 p. m.
at the cost of Is cents. The eve
ming meeting is scheduled to begin
at 7:30, the principal speaker be-
ing Joseph jefferson of the Chi
cagO Urban League. On Sunday
afternoon the Council will be hosts
at Silver Tea. Plans for a very
large meeting are in order. One of
the most interesting exhibits will
be the Dolls of the Nation" dis
play of the National Youth Ad-
ministration. Many charming ma
irons will pour tea and serve as
hostesses.
$50 EXPECTED To REGISTER
At least $50 young people are
expected to register for the Confer
ence. Because of the great interest
shown by adult groups in the youth
problem a large turnout for the
mass meeting is assured. There
is no question but that the employ
ment situation in which Negro
youth finds itself is a dangerous
one. Idle time, not put to produc-
tive use, invariably leads to delin-
quency and crime. Because no jobs
appear on the horizon, these young
people lose their incentive and
initiative for further training and
education. Yet it is a known fact
that the worker today must be we'll
trained and well qualified to meet
the immense competition on the
labor market.
All youth organizations have
been contacted by committee mem
bers, according to Richard Session,
general chairman, Erma Clardy,
who is head of the committee on
the Entertainment, promises a de-
lightful musical program in con-
junction with the Silver Tea. All
Minneapolis is urged to attend this
city-wide conference of Negro
youth.

attention-the walls should be re-

dingy in appearance at the present

ed in some Of the rooms. On the
north side of the building, third
floor, the metal stairs of the fire es-
cape are attached to the metal plat
form by two 3-S inch bolts lone on
each side of the stairs). We believe
that this fastening is not entirely
secure and would recommend that
it be- strengthened. The fire escapes
on this building are the old-fashion-
ed exterior metal stairs, hardly more
than ladders. We do not believe
they are entirely safe for small chill
dren and we doubt that they are
adequate for the number of children
who might have to use them. We
would recommend that more modern
equipment be installed to take care
of this hazard. Gutter on east side
of building should be repaired.

The camp, strategically located,
was built after the Russians found
their advance suddenly stopped
within 1875 miles of cutting Finland
in two.
They settled down to await re-
Inducements in the hope of renew.
ing the offensive on a bigger scale.
But, Finnish commanders said,

House desire for a further study
Of the capabilities Of the Graf
Spec. the Deutschland and the
Won Soheer.
The admirals argued that these
vessels could not attain the
speed of our finest cruisers or
equal our bsttleships IN the
weight Of fire. They held out
stubbornly against the pocket
battleship bloc and eventually
won Secretary Edison 10 their
viewpoint - which may eNplIin
the delay in promoting him. Now
they will cite the battle off Mon
tevideo as justification Of their
attitude.
Republican attackers. however,
will derive no comfort from navy
spokesmen's explanation OF the
so called topheavy destroyers.
They will demolish the unpub-
lished COP contention that the
alleged unseaworthiness of the
ships resulted from presidential
interference with the building
plans. II had been the critics
hope to pin the responsibility on
F'DR.
The destroyers under verbal
fire are neither topheavy nor
unsesworthy, according to the
admirals. They are slightly over
weight-about 140 tons-but the
engineers maintain that this fact
does not affect either the sta
bility" or the "floatability" OF
the vessels. Under the worst
conditions heavy storm and
ship carrying a minimum load Of
fuel, supplies, ammunition, etc.
they admit that the destroyers
might not meet every specifica-
ton, but they minimize the
danger. Effective fire power un-
der battle conditions is glossed
over.
Navy builders raise as serious
objections to the proposed $4,000
ton type of vessel as they did to
the pocket battleship. They de-
plore the added expense, and
maintain that the size would en-
danger the factor Of maneuver-
ability. In short, they will inform
the congressional investigators
that they believe fleet bal
anced with battleships. cruisers,
destroyers. subm Marines and
planes will serve Uncle Sans
needs in the future as it has in
the past.
