Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The popular belief that the Civilian Conserva- ton Corps has been the best handled and most cessful of all the relief agencies established by the Roosevelt administration is supported by a report which the American Youth Commission of the Ameri- can Council Education has made after ex- haustive study of the CCC
 The commission, headed by Owen D. Young, and including in it's membership such well-known citizens as Henry I. Hartman, Clarence A. Dyk- stra, Dorothy Garfield Fisher Mathew Woll and George F. Took, believes the time has now come to accept the youth labor camp as a permanent Ameri- can institution and to make those changes in the CCC which would be in keeping with such a con- cepton.
 It is the belief of the commission that the Civilian Conservation Corps has outgrown it's original purpose-that of providing relief jobs for youths in destitute famlies-so that it now should be operated from the point of view of conserving natural resources of building character in young men, Of restoring to large body of Americans the health giving habit of outdoor life, and of providing per- manent defense reservoir.
 With this in mind, the commission would stop recruiting exclusively from relief families and open the ranks to any youths who cannot find private employment. It would transfer the recruiting offices from the relief agencies to the federastate employ ment bureaus whose job it would be to make every effort to place the applicant in private job before sending him to CCC camp These bureaus would also give special attention to finding private en- poyment for the boys after they left the govern ment camps
 The commissions study uncovered numerous de- fleets in the CCC operated, and the report suggests numerous possible for these defects.
 Congress and the administration should give careful consideration to the committees recommen- dations. Above al We agree with the proposal to make the work camp plan permanent and to re- move from it as much possible the stigma of public charity.

1944 WHITE HOPE

To many of his friends, Senator Vandenberg's reelection has revived presidential hopes for 1914
 If he does throw his hat in that ring. it will be his third try. In 1886 and even more so this year Van was a serious contender. Fur thermore there are plenty of polite ians who will argue that he would have made a much stronger can didate than either Landon or Will kie
 Whether Vandenberg will be ln the running by the time 1914 rolls around is conjectural. Four years is a long time in politics. But one thing is certain: the name of Van- denberg will appear often and prom inently in the list of top-round Re publican possibilities.
 He has the faculty of coming UT from behind and winning in the final stretch. Also, he has all the external requirements of a standard bearer.
 Four years ago at Cleveland Van denberg could have had the vice presidential nomination on silver matter, At Philadelphia last yea he finally threw the Michigan dele eation to Willkie. which started th'

It is important to notice in this record that the aircraft exports of the were sharply lower even than the monthly average immediately preceding the war This was the result of the old Neutrality Act, which was revised November 4. The heavy De- ccmber shipments tnot exceeded in value until the following Augusta doubtless represented the shipment of accumulated supplies.
 The record since May when the need for speed ing up our help was first recognized urgent, fortunately does not show any steady acceleraton in our exports of aircraft and parts The most hopeful figure is the sharp increase shown in Octo Der in the export of engines
 The actual help to Great Britain is lower than that shown in these figures of total exports For example, ill october last, though the total number of planes exported was 334, British countries got only 280; and though the total number of engines

views and made several attempts to argue the matter with him.
 But Willkie dodged these attempts to convert him; and once, when he came to Washington after his nom- nation, failed to show up at an ap- pointment. On another occasion he did not answer one of Vandenberg' $ letters for weeks. Naturally, this did not improve relations between them
 However, Vandenberg went Loyalty down the line for the party standard bearer and made several effective speeches for him.
 The personal coolness between Vandenberg and Willkie was not an exceptional case within the COP It was the rule. Willkie was on cor dial terms with few Republican lead CTS, as exemplified by the remark oi Representative Clare Hoffman, an other Michigan Republican. "Wher Willkie was nominated" said Hoff- man ,"I wired Erie Weir and Ton Girdler: You nominated him, now you elect him."
 | It is this anti-Willkie sentiment among many Republican leaders plus the fact that Vandenberg is now set to occupy the Senate spot light more prominently than evel before, which makes him once agair worth watching as the Republican. start to build for 1914

Civilian Pilot Training

tNeW YOrk I1meS)
 With so many factors In the defense program coming these days under the fire of criticism it is pleasant to be able to record good progress in the field of civilian pilot training The project begun by the Civil Aeronautics Authority, project which re- suited in the primary training of some 14G00 pilots last year with only single fatality, is now being carried forward on greatly expanded scale by that body in it's status the Civil Aeronautcs Board One of the boards members, Oswald Ryan, reports that by the end of the present academic year we will have 100000 civilian pilots compared with only 2l 900 pilots of all sorts in the United States two years ago More than 700 colleges and universities and than 200 non college centerS participating in the work It is especially grati- flying that this training has been extended to non college groups for the opportunities inherent in this program certainly should not be offered merely on basis of scholastic attainment.
 It would be mistake to assume that this pilot training program of itself of adequate supply of military pilots. There is obligation upon the young who take the to enter military life, other than their status with regard to the draft But the training does provide an un- paralleed number of men with a degree of funda- mental knowledge and experience which will serve to shorten the training period of all who meet Army concerned, We at least l8 months ahead of the point at which should be if we now had to start from scratch

PLANES FOR ENGLAND

Just how much in actual planes produced, have we been helping Britain? One way to see graphi- cay the progress-or lack of it-of our aid in air craft is to review the monthly record of our total exports of planes, engines and other parts.
 Below is table from the New York Times of this record for the IA months of the war period for which a record exists and a comparison with the average for the six months preceding September' 1889 when the broke out. The number Of planes in the table is the number of planes already equipped with engines The number of engines in other words is an additional item. The value figure rep resents the total value in millions of dollars not only of aircraft exported but also of parts and &C., cessOries

ELDER STATESMAN

There was a period during his first years in the Senate when Vanden- berg took no popularity prizes among his veteran party colleagues. The young Michigander was piqued at the way Senate leaders disregarded the younger members, and organ ized a group of them in order to make their influence better felt in the inner councils.
 They didn't sit well with Republi- can veterans and Vandenberg got hazed for his pains; especially by the razor-tongued George Moses of New Hampshire. who derisively lab eled him the Young Turk"
 Several years later, Vandenberg famed up some more resentment when the word got around that he was secretly gunning for Senator Charles McNary's scalp as Floor Leader. This was patched up, how
 yer, and today, next to McNary Vandenberg is the biggest-name Re- publican in the Senate Also, since he death of Borah and the decline f the aged Hiram Johnson, Van ienberg is the only real orator on he COP side.
 His oratory is inclined to be
 lorid, probably a reflection of his
 many years as an editorial writer in Garnd Rapids before he came
 70 the Senate. But his forthright presence, his resounding voice anc low of language make him one ot he ablest debaters and the mos effective spokesman of isolation, il | he Senate.

 On the other hand it must be kept in mind that the engines we sent, presumably to be installed in British frames, in addition to the complet- ed planes th-engines that we sent This is point that has not always been made clear in estimating the contribution that the United States is making Further whatever increase there is in aircraft shipments has gone to the British the figures of exports to other countries have not shown any srik ing tendency in direction the other.

TUESDAY, JANUARY IA

| Adverse planetary aspects are active today when the weather may be depressing. Business may be slow because of heavy storms. Con- structive work is under benefic in- fluences.
 Heart and Home: This is day for taking stock of ones domestic program as the new year presents unusual social and economic prob lens. Women should prepare them- selves for economic independence. The stars presage a general level ing of wealth which will greatly reduce the resources of those who have had large possessions. Gov ernment control of financial af- fairs on a broad scale is prophe- sled as a result of defense expen- ditures. Business Affairs: Friendly rela- tions with South America will ex- pand despite enemy propaganda that proclaims disunity with our neighbors. Increase of trade and commerce will be evident The curbing of speculative enterprises will be imperative for the United States Government. Diplomats of high efficiency will accomplish much for Uncle Sam. Through we'll trained young men and women of college background South Amefi- cans will gain friendship that will be of great value in the future
 National Issues: One of the im- portant aims of the new year will be the furthering of understands ing with refugees who come to the United States in a state of bel Wilderment and despair after their losses and sufferings in the Euro. pean war. Welcome to those who have much to contribute in the way of professional or mechanical attainment will be of great aid to the nation in the future. Contact Wltll olQ WOl Ill lllCJliOQo Ol tiloi ough preparation for any line of work will be fortunate for Ameri-, cans. %
 International Affairs: Under- heath the unwilling acquiescenoe of victims of Nazi aggression will grow a slow rebellion which wlT result in future revolution in mary places. In the new order of things dictators as well as kings will be eliminated. Right to govern ny force will disappear as well as right to rule by inheritance, as the spirit of democracy spreads over nations which are temporarily vanquished
 Persons whose birthdate it iS have the augury of a year of al ternating good and bad luck with fortunate experiences predominat ing Litigation should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be energetic, ambitious and fond of the pleasant things of life. They will be lovers of beauty and may possess artistic talent. Copyright, l94D

WILLKIE AND vANDENBERG

While it was the break of the Michigan delegation that turned the tide for Willkie at Philadelphia, the candidate and Vandenberg were not overly cordial during the recent campaign.
 Except for their common hostil- ity toward the New Deal, the two nen had little in common. Strongly isolationist. Yandenberg vigorously disapproved of Willki3s' foreign

had a strong isolationist record, the powerful auto workers were after his scalp, the Michigan COP regime was national joke, and Roosevelt himself headed the Democartic tick ct. It looked as if Vandenberg $ goose was cooked.
 But although the Republican Gov ernor was soundly trounced and Willkie squeaked through by still disputed count of 6,926 out of more than 100000 votes, Vandenberg emerged triumphant with the inn pressive majority of 1l3 3,464. This is a truly remarkably achievement.

MEIKLE IS STILL
 HOME IN JUNEAU

A few days ago, MT. and Mrs. Max Behlke went south on the North Coast.
 Painter Max Meilke has been bothered by surprised friends who thought he'd left town and bothered as well by the thought that if every body thinks he has left town, nobody will think of Max Meilke for con- tract work.
 So this explanation. The similarity in names exists. but Behlke went south and Meilke stayed home.
