There are certain control meas

Leave Babies Alone

ROBERT FECHNER'S
ACHIEVEMENT
(From the Washington Post)


Robert Fechner has been so closely
identified with the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps that the success of that
organization must be counted as a
part of his record of public service.
Early in the Roosevelt administra-
tion Mr.. Fechner was called to Wash
ington to organize the C. c. C. From
that day until his untimely death, Mr.
Fechner had devoted virtually all his
energy to the development and super
vision of the c.. G.. G.. Indeed, his de-
votion to that task and his long hours
of work to make it success are said
to have been one reason for the all
ment which led to his death.
Under the careful direction of Mr..
Fechner the c.. c. c. has become a
symbol of human reclamation. A to-
tai of 100000 young men have
learned the discipline and healthful
routine of C. C. c. camps, Taken from
the road, from street corners and from
homes in distress, young men were
taught to work and given a new out
look on life. The useful tasks they
have performed are numerous, but the
greatest achievement of Mr.. Fechner
was in rescuing these young men from
blind alleys and giving them new op-
portunities they could not otherwise
have enjoyed.

must keep our heads. We should not
rely on war prosperity to solve our

is unemployment. A democracy owes
an obligation to it's people to provide
opportunities to earn livelihood.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) - The

refused to rehire the rs workers and
has rejected proposals to bargain col

clared that only rs of the company's

A company spokesman said the dis

Morse and Danes Ma,
Put Merchantmen
Under U. 5. Flag
One Company Is Ready
To Tronsfer Fleet Of
50 Modern Ships

~ the Associated Press.
A large portion Of the huge Nor
wegian and Danish merchant fleets
may be transferred to American
registry to escape being taken over
by Germany or Great Britain.
Discussions already have started,
1t was learned today, between
Danish shipping interests and
American officials. One Danish
company. with a branch ofiice In
New York, is ready to place its whole
fleet OF so modern ships under
American registry.
Norway and Denmark are among
the largest merchant marine nations.
Norway ranks fourth with a tonnage
OF 100000. Denmark has a mer-
chant marine Of about 1000, 900 tons.
Vessels Of the two countries have
been ordered to seek safety in
neutral harbors for the time being.
Ply Many Routes.
Nothing exists in the American
Ship Registry Act to prevent their
transfer or registry. But when the
vessels fly the American flag they
automatically will be barred from
the European combat area pro-
claimed by President Roosevelt.
Norwegian and Danish merchant
heets ply many routes. however, far
removed from their own waters.
For example, they handle a sizable
proportion Of the trade between the
United States and the Far East.
Ofdcials here generally felt no
opposition to the proposed transfer.
Some of them believed that by
placing more vessels in the American
carrying trade, the action would ease
the demands Of war on American
ships.
Position Reversed.
American authorities are suddenly
finding themselves. in q position re-
versed to the one Of last year, when
the transfer of American -owned
ships to Panamanian registry was
being sought by the United States
Lines. .
Then, although the Maritime
Commission had given informal
consent, Secretary Hull objected to
the procedure as violation of the
spirit OF the Neutrality Act.
The project was abandoned, but
subsequently number of American
ships were transferred to Belgian
registry.
