Hartman Asks Jobs
las Well AS Youth
Consumption

WASHINGTON -(FP)-Since con-
gress passed the CONSUMPTION bill 1t Is
now under obligation to create an adj
ditional 100000 civilian jobs for youth,
Henry /. Hartman, former president
of the U. S. chamber of commerce and
chairman of the executive committee
of the American youth commission,
declared here Sept. 8.
This civilian job program is vital
for national security and just recon-
pense to American youth for assum-
ing the burden of military service,
Hartman said.
"Since legislation has now passed
both houses of congress by which
probably 100000 young men will be
enlisted or drafted into the armed
services by December" he declared,
congress should give tangible form
to it's interest in the civilian needs
of the youth population by immedi-
ately considering legislation to pro-
vide jobs for at least 100000 addi-
tional youth In the CCC and NYA."
