YOUTH TRAINING

With the CONSUMPTION bill under
going heavy attack on Capitol Hill,
the President himself is under fire
on another phase of national de-
tense.
In this case the criticism comes
from his own advisers, who demand
that he act. They want him to put
through the non-combative phase of
defense which he outlined last May.
The program, as described by
Roosevelt himself, consists of two
parts, one devoted to training
mechanics, cooks, and other nom
combative craftsmen; the second to
training fighting men for planes,
tanks and guns.
To date all efforts have been con-
centrated on the second part of the
program. Nothing tangible has yet
been done about the first, the nom
combative part.
The U. S. office of education, CCC
and National Youth administration
have prepared complete blueprints
for training hundreds of thousands
of youths in the many crafts needed
by modern army. The three agen-
cies are ready to swing into action
at once on these programs.
All they need is the money. But
although members of congress re-
peatedly have urged Roosevelt to
get busy, nothing has happened. In
conferences he has readily agreed to
the necessity for this training, but
beyond that-zero.
Insiders blame the deadlock on
two men, Harold D. Smith, penny
pinching budget director, and Sid
ney Hillman, labor member of the
national defense commission.
Roosevelt instructed Smith to pre-
pare budget estimates and Hillman
to submit plans. But neither has
complied. Smith, whose functions
are wholly administrative, has
raised policy objections that are none
of his affair; while Hillman, timid
about possible A. F. of L. and c. 1.
o. protests, has backed and filled.
Congressional leaders, under fire
over the Consumption bill, are sore
at the delay on the non-combative
training plan. They feel that if it
had been submitted simultaneously
it would have considerably eased
the way for the military program.
Note-CCC, NYA. and Education
office chiefs estimate the cost of
the non-combative program at
around 100000. This would
train Csc, 200 youths in the CCC, $780,
900 in the NYA, and 225, 1000 in voca-
tional schools supervised by the Of
fee of education, during an entire
year.

Sen. Charles McNary's plane trip
to Oregon, for his vice presidential
acceptance ceremonies, will be the
first time he has travelled by air.
Also it will be the first time in near
ly a year that he has visited his
beloved ancestral home.
Located few miles from Salem,
on the Mission Bottom road, the
McNary farm was homesteaded by
his pioneering New England grand
father, James McNary, 95 years ago.
At that time it was dense primeval
forest and many of the giant old
trees still remain.

NEW YORK.-More varied in this

repercussions to the things John
Cudahy, United States ambassador
John Cudahy an : 4 "a
Criticized for having said in
Talk on Belgium an interview
that aid would be required next win
ter to save 5000, 900 Belgians from
famine. His defense of King Leo
pold III, is regarded as, to say the
least, undiplomatic. Whether Secre-
tary of State Cordel Hull will take
cognizance of a further statement
alleging the correct behavior of Ger
man troops in Belgium-criticized in
England as wholly out of order-re-
mains to be seen.
Son Of an Irish immigrant
who went to Milwaukee and
made an immense fortune as q
meat packer, Cudahy's dipIo-
matte career began In 1888 with
his selection by President Roose-
welt As ambassador to Poland.
In May, 1887, he became minis
ter to the Irish Free State and
was appointed to the post at
Brussels in 1889, succeeding
Joseph e. Davies when the lat
ter was assigned as . special
assistant to the secretary Of
state.
Cudahy was the first to advise
President Roosevelt-via telephone
of the German invasion of Bel
giurn where he remained at his post
of duty, narrowly escaping death or
injury from bombs, until he, togeth-
er with all other foreign represen-
tatives were requested to leave the
country. Later, in Germany, he
spent two hours with Leopold of Bel
GUM in the castle assigned to the
monarch by the German army and
obtained from him personal letter,
presumably divulging the inside
story of Belgian capitulation, for
Mr.. Roosevelt.
The ambassador is Harvard
man, class Of 1910, holding de-

the Wisconsin bar in 1913, he

came q captain in the United
States army. Later he ranched

until 1888, when appointed to Po-
land, he engaged in real estate.

Mayor Vincent A. Scully answered that the city welfare department maintains a constant check on WPA lists, and that the only ones with WPA jobs are those who deserve them. Most of those now on the WPA, he said, are men who cannot obtain factory employment, because of age, physical condition or lack of training.
 Boards Should Ask
 The board directed that requests for appropriations for WPA projects sponsored by various city depart mentS should hereafter come through the board directing the department, not from the department head alone. The action was taken after applica- tion for funds to pay the city,s share of WpA projects had been received from Park Superintendent James J. Curtin and Superintendent of Schools pr. Thomas J. Condon.
 The finance commissioners de- layed action on Dr. Condon's request for transfer of $1,658, which he said must be made available or two school projects will have to be closed. Dr. Condon said he was making the request on recommenda- tion of Fred Baker, director of WPA projects for the schools. Budget Director Thorvald Olsen said that the request came as a surprise to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-04

cinnati, where he received the de- gree of power laundry engineer. MT Latimer,s qualifications are singular in Waterbury, and rare throughout New England.
 The basic policy of the new laun- dry, whose plant occupies a very central location, is to serve the thrifty housewives of Waterbury by giving them the best at the lowest costs. The cash-carry service makes possible 20 per cent saving because it eliminates the cost of delivery service.
 The modern machinery guaran- tees superior whiteness, fast colors, longer fabric life, surgical cleanli- ness.
