MEETING REPORT GIVEN

The problem of youth and idle
hours is being very practically
solved by the National Youth
Administration, according to
Victor Lowe, local supervisor of
that governmental agency, in a
talk before the Lions Club last
evening at the clubhouse on Sem
mary street. Gerald Saunders,
president, was in the chair.
Prevailing misconceptions of
the NYA and it's work in train
ing young men and young wom-
en- to fill positions in the work
aday world, especially in regard
to their supplementary status
rather than one of supplanting
other workers, were treated upon
by Mr.. Lowe in his report of To-
cal project aims. One hundred
and seventy boys and girls in
this area are receiving training
at present, he said, including
many at camps upstate who are
being trained along special lines.
mo longer is it a matter of
drawing youths from relief fami-
lies, Mr.. Lowe pointed out.
Rather, our aims now are to
provide training for any youth
between the ages of 18 and rs
Much to be desired in the future
is a Youth Center and Voca-
tional School from which skilled
workers may be graduated. Key
West has never had that advant-
age, and we need it, badly.
Members of the club heard re-
ports from Jack Delaney and
John Costar, who represented
the local club at the Zone
held at Coral Gables
Country Club last Sunday morn
ing. Chief topic up for discus
sion was that of entertainment
to be rendered to delegates to
the International Convention in
Havana next July as they came
into the Zone area for embarka-
ton.
Besides Mr.. Lowe, Archie Rob-
erts, city clerk, was a guest at
the meeting.

follows:
Every care should be taken
to guard against the scourge of
cancer. Early in our war ex-

vital it is that we use these skillS
to prepare the men, women and
children of our nation to live-to

available to us. We consider the
Women's Field Army of the
American Society for the Control
of Cancer to be performing an
admirable task. Their efforts
provide another form of insur-

cancer victims must undergo.
Therefore, we are heartily in

Mr.. Vorys started with the
slaughter in China, where there
is no official war. He summed up
with the startling information
(he made up the figures) that
some 100000 persons had been

Shifting to Poland, which new

100000 had been killed there.
Then, there was the matter be-

another 100000 spilled their hfe's
blood on the field of battle-in
spite of the fact that the two
countries were not Eat war.

Congressman Studies Wars,

Now, said Mr.. Vorys, the scene
has shifted to Norway, where
Germany insists there is NO war.
Although it is too early to esti-
mate with any accuracy, it is safe
to say that deaths there already
have mounted into the many
thousands.
Even in the United States, Mr..
Vorys explained,-this great ma
ton which has been blessed with

LONDON. Apr. 26.-Advices
yesterday gave credit TO CERT
many for the first trick in man

Advices today, however, credit
the Allies with some good points
as counter-attackS were made to
take away considerable of the
advantage gained by the NaziS.
And so it goes. Norway pro-
vides the battlefield with accom-
panying losses in the form of
terrain married, buildings de-

bridges demolished-while the
two belligerents supply the men
and arms to make all that come

British planes today sWooped
down on several cities in south
Norway in continuation of their
drive to keep the Nazis from es-
tabliShing airbaSeS. Sensing that
the short span of ocean between
Norway and north Scotland,
where are situated many naval
and airbases of Britain, is of COM
paratively short distance for the
enemy planes, the British are
making desperate efforts to con-
Gel that eventuality by keeping
the Germans constantly at atten-
ton to fight off attacks rather

ST. PETERSBURG, Apr.
26.-Key West won the
honor of entertaining the

floor of the present conven-

morning, following cleo
pioneering amidst a bitter
struggle to obtain the meet
for either Jacksonville or
Orlando.
Nortn-state posts did all
possible to keep the 1871
convention for their section,
but, at the outset it appear
ed that commitments made
at the 1889 convention at
Fl. Lauderdale stood the
Key West delegation in good
stead. Just before. the final
vote was taken, the Jack
sonville contingent swing its
votes to Orlando, but the
total was not sufficient to
beat the 1877 lined up for Key
West-the opposition re-
cording los votes.
Delegates who conducted
the successful fight for Key
West were Harold Russell,
commander-elect; AL Mills,
accommodated and
John Pinder, finance Of

The convention heard

St. Louis.-Federal Judge C. B.
Davis threw out of court the anti
trust indictments obtained against
William L. Hutcheson and three other
officials of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America by
Assistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold.
In dismissing the charges, Judge
Davis held that the Federal Govern
ment had failed to show a conspiracy
to restrain interstate commerce. The
case arose from a jurisdictional dis
pute between the carpenters and ma
chinists' unions at the brewing plant
of Anheuser- Bush, Inc.
Evidence Lacking
"The real purpose of the defend
ants, as disclosed by the Indictment"
Judge Davis ruled, "was not to re-
strain commerce but to prevail in a
local labor controversy"
The court declared that labor unions
engaging in jurisdictional strikes are
immune from suit in the Federal
courts so long as lawful means are
employed, under the provisions of the
Norris-La Guardia Act of 1882.
This important decision completely
destroyed the basis for all antitrust
indictments growing out of jurisdic.
tional disputes that have been filed at
the instigation of Thurman Arnold. II
directly controverted the recent ruling
of Federal Court in Washington, D
