NO AGREEMENT ON
LABOR SHORTAGE
There il not yet any agree
ment on the extent, If any, of
the supposed bottleneck in pro-
duction caused by a shortage Of
skilled labor.
The labor departments fig
ures show that there just isn't
such a shortage. Organized la
Dor so far has been bitterly OPP
posed to the idea of creating a
huge new reservoir of skilled
labor, fearing that this would
ultimately be used TO break the
unions. Yet some of the leaders
in the training program argue
that the unemployment stats
tics fail utterly to present a true
picture of the situation.
They put it like this: The fig
ures may show half a million
machinists as unemployed. Yet
these half million may not by
any means be the sort of work.
ers whom a factory personnel
manager would class as skilled
machinists; Of the lot, third
or a fifth might be ready to step
into machinists' jobs. while the
balance might have the wrong
kind of skill, or need "refresher"
training. or In other ways be
unsdspted to the needs Of the
situation.
SUPPLY NOT YET
GEARED TO NEEDS
Another criticism made by
people who are on the inside of
the program is that national
needs have not yet been bal
anced against national supply.
For instance; A given city
may have the facilities to train
800 new welders Ito pick trade
At random). But in that city
there may be no demand for any
additional welders: the demand
may exist 1000 miles away in
some city which lacks the train
ing facilities-and the program
won't click until the one city's
facilities are fitted into A pro-
gram which takes account of
the other city's needs.
Before the program takes
final form. 1t is probable that It
Will evolve some scheme either
for moving future workers to
the training centers or for NOV

the production centers.
SUBSIDIZED APPRENTICE
PLAN NEEDED
Look. also. for a new depar-
ture-s system of government
subsidies to provide for the
training Of large patches Of ap.
prcntees in the factories.
NYA and CCC can give a GER
tain amount of training with the
facilities they have available.
The Office If Education can
provide still more. through the
technical schools Of the nation.
But one current estimate is that
altogether. only about A third
OF the total needed can be pro-
vided for in this way. The SUBJ

SAVE US ONE

We (about 90 of us) are grateful to Farm Security
Admin stration for its decision to grant so extra
lots for future expansion of the Greenbe1t Hometown
ers' Cooperative. We hope these may be kept open
for several years to because not all of
afford to build now.
There was some fear at first that from necessity
the housing coop here would be closed corpora
tion, limited to the 10 prospective residents al
ready signed up. This would have been flagrantly
unfair to the rest of Greelbelt, for it stands to
reason that if after two years of life in Greenbe1t
some 20 families are ready to build, then after
other two years there Will probably be another 20
families in position to start their homes.
IF the Greenbe1t Hueomers Cooperative see
their way clear to permit applications for lots
considerable time in advance of building, know
those 90 extra lots would be taken up at We
think this would be fair arrangement, providing
there we're restrictions to prevent resale at pro-
fit, and providing still lots could be made
valuable by F.S.A. for future release.
We view this project of permanent home-omers
growing enterprise, of great interest and
to the future of town. We urge that every eff
fort be made to promising future for it.

NURSERY SCHOOL

In view of the three surveys taken there should
be little doubt about the demand for a nursery
school for Greenbelt youngsters. The Town Council
now has before it the problem of financing and such
details as to the to be included, what require
ments should be set up for teachers, and what por-
ton of the burden of cost should be charged direct
1y to the PARENTS
When the Council votes would like to them
include the following points in any setup provided:
!. That only the 4-year olds be included. There
are 40 children and years old--too many to be
consideredj the year olds cared for by the
kindergarten.
2. That every effort be made to the best
possible teachers. Good teachers in this field
paid about $loo; there should be teacher for
every Is children. Unless these two standards can
be appropriated the whole project should be called
off.
3. The goal of enrolment should be every child
in Greenbelt within the age group. If only few
children included in the enterprise its benefits
Will be severely limited. We not only want our
children to learn how to play together happily,
learn courtesy and obedience, but also want to
