THE FIGHT ON DEFENSE
HOUSING

Senator Wagner's proposal for ap-
preparation of S300,000,0OO for hous-
ing of defense workers in cities where
new housing is found to be needed has
been apparently effectually blocked by
action of the Senate Appropriations
Committee in changing the proposal
to provide only temporary housing or
barracks on army posts or reserva-
tions. The committee, in effect, took
the position that workers in defense
industries must do without new hous-
ing, if publicly provided, no matter
how urgently needed.
Well-informed Washington observ-
ers suspect that the defeat of the
Wagner proposal, which was vigor-
ously championed by army and navy
officials, the American Federation of
Labor and others, is tied up with the
underground fight that has been going
on in the House of Representatives the
past year against the United States
Housing Authority. Representative
Albert M. Gore of Tennessee, the
leader in this drive, has been touring
the country for months making
speeches before Building and Loan
Leagues, Chambers of Commerce and
the like.
Gore was responsible for the circu-
lation last winter in the House of ma
terial designed to smear the slum
clearance program Of the u. S. H. A.
on the ground that in four u. S. II. A.
projects in northern cities where negro
and white workers normally live in ad-
joining buildings that this custom has
been continued in publicly operated
projects. The special point of the
Gore attack on the U. S. H. A. pro-
gram is the subsidies that the law per-
mits and which public housing experts
say have been proven by experience
all over the world to be the only
means whereby rents can be gotten
down low enough to enable really poor

American labor, employer and gov
ernment influence in the Interna-
tional Labor Organization is bound to
be substantially strengthened by NOV
ing of the organization office from
Geneva to Montreal. The fact that
the office is on this continent will tend
to bring it's activities closer to the av-
erage American and make them of
greater interest in this country. From
this will come increased publicizing of
the work and aims of the |. L. 0.
Moving of the |. L. 0. to Montreal is
step in maintenance of essential ac-
tivities, threatened by growing diff
culties of communication and trans
portation to and from Geneva, Direc-
tor John g. Winant explains. If these
activities can be maintained, even
though greatly curtailed, they will be

operation which the world needs i'm

The best wishes of American labor
will go to the l. L. O. in its new home,
where American labor's voice will be
heard in clearer tones than when the
office was in Switzerland. 1nciden-
tally, the moving of the |. L. 0. tc
Montreal is another indication of the
vastly increased Importance of the
United States and the North American
continent in world affairs.
Young people need to learn to WORK

Commission of the American Council

give their children training in some
useful occupation" the report ex-
plains that in earlier days, parents
were able, especially in agricultural
occupations and in many of the simp-
Ter crafts, to teach work habits with
out seriously interrupting their own
activities" But as industrial condi-
tions changed, parents "could no
longer adequately train their children
in work" The result, the report
charges, is that manual work is now
no longer a part of the education of a
great number of young people"
Reviewing efforts of schools to
adapt themselves to new conditions,
the educators assert that vocational
education either cultivates highly spe-
cialized skills for which there is only
limited demand, or provides other
innovations that are "more in the
nature of patchwork additions than
fundamental reforms in the instruc-
tional program"
The report, calling for "a fundamen-
tai reconsideration of the instruc-
tional program of secondary schools"
was prepared by a special committee
headed by Ben g. Graham, superin-
tendent of public schools in Pitts
burgh, Pa. The committee was named
by the American Youth Commission,
of which Owen D. Young is chairman
and Floyd w. Reeves is director.
At present, according to this COM
mittee of educators, work "does not
have the sanction of traditional school
practice" In spite of this, 'by the
time a young person reaches adoles-
cence he needs to have opportunities
for work if he is to make the transi-
tion into adulthood readily and eff

lily for eight hours is not a natural
possession; it has to be acquired"

Yes-they did it again. Lions
Club five again roared high last
night when the members of the

edged out Rusty's quintet of
Homestead. 80 to 81.
Rusty's Service Station boys
got away to a good start, but the
Lions held a one-point lead at the
quarter.
During the first-half, the Lions
were missing more potential has
kets than they sunk, but in the
thirC period they came back with
plenty 'oomph" and made up for
lost time. With a tie score at the
third period the teams stayed
close throuf out the fourth quar-
ter until the last minute of play.
Carbonell made a long "swiSher"
from almost the center line and
that won the game for the locals.
Both clubs played hard and
fairly clean ball but the Lions
did not low their true form last
night at al. Pinder and Knowles
were hioh men for the victorS,
while Bishop and Kinard ran
high for the losers.

Buddy was q dead shot for that
part of the body ana couldn't get
away from it. TIE round ended
with Spt.CeI badly hurt.
Sparring slowly IN the center
of the ring at the opening of the
eighth round, Mario's hard right
to the head sent Buddy up
against the ropes. A left and a
right to the body and head eaus-
ed Buddy's legs to wobble a lit
tie. Speidel missed a weak right
to the head as Perez nailed him
with a wild right swing to the
body. Buddy, badly hurt, threw
his hands up in the air, asking
the third man in the ring to halt
the battle.
Speidel scored the only knock
down Of the fight. 1t was a short
right hook that tumbled Perez in
the second round. There was no
count.
Kid Tarzan and Hare In Draw
Kid Tarzan, Tommy Reyes
fighting ace. fought draw
with Jack Hare of the Navy, in
the main preliminary of six
rounds. Both fighters fought a
cautious battle, with Tarzan be-
ing the sggressor all the way.
However, neither boxer landed a
telling blow.
Tarzan mixed it up with the
sailor in the fifth stanza but no
damage was done as all the blows
were wild and landed on the
arms.
Nevertheless, the fight was a
cToWd-pleaser and the fans roar
ed with satisfaction at the draw
decision.
Kid Brass Loses Again
Young Ernest Ogen, new
conner, battered Kid Brass in
six rounds to win the decision.
Ogen, over-anxious to finish the
fight quickly, fouled Brass in the
first round with a wild blow
that landed below the belt. Brass
was allowed two minutes rest.
Overcoming this, the fight con-
tinued through the sixth.
Batting Czech Scores K.O.
Battling Czech is still cham
pion of the local colored section
as he battered the person of Kid

punches of Jack Johnson in the

match for the much taller and

Issue Trapping Permits
To Lincoln County Ranchers

Twenty-Five trapping permits for
the 1939-40 season have been issued
to bona fide ranchers of Lincoln
county to trap $50 beaver, accord

game warden. Applications for
trapping beaver are not considered
later than November 80 of each

Darlington. From the best sources
of information, it is found that bea-

young in May. They are apparently
monogamists and mate for life,
They usually have four young, al
though from one to eight frequently
occur. The young begin to eat solid
food after a month.
All permits are issued from the
