Bombs Shatter Workers Home
But His Rent is Due as Usual
London;s East
End Finds Laws
Quirk a Burden
BY PAUL MANNING

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
LONDON, May 10-First they
built the factory, then they
built the homes.
That is the story of every big
city development since the 10th
century's industrial revolution
started England and the rest Of
the world moving towards an
era they now call mechanical.
And it is also the story of a
little industrial island in the
heart of East End London.
1t is a little island, about two
square miles. 1t is bounded on
three sides by a canal, river
and the giant underground sew
er which serves most of East
End London. You cross a bridge
to reach this island, which act
ually is q narrow peninsula jut-
ting from the mainland.
From that bridge, you can see
the two-story houses they call
homes stretching in almost end
less and monotonous profusion
down streets which are dead end.
Some streets end at the river,
some stop at the canal. A few
lead right up to a high wire
fence surrounding the factory.
MUST PAY RENT
ON DAMAGED HOMES
Walking through these streets
with Mrs. Elain Jensen, the So
cial worker of this area, who got
her sociology degree at the IN
iversity of Toronto ten years ago
and who has been working in
and around the island for eight,
you see bomb damage and de-
serted streets. But the bomb
damage is not widespread, just
an occasional two or three
houses crushed to the ground in
every other street.
The factory damage, however,
was repaired long ago, and now
full crews are again working two
shifts every twenty-four hours.
And the workers are living in
their homes again. But these
homes are ones which a southern
sharecropper would probably
sniff at. Two rooms below, two
above, with no bath. The two
families who share the meager
space keep warm by budding
near a tiny coal CRATE on cold
nights.
Yet they like these homes bet
ter than more spacious quarters
in country billets and that is one
reason why evacuated families
keep returning to the island.
Another reason is the chance
of working again in the factory
where already they have worked
nearly q lifetime.
The most powerful magnet
though, says Mrs. Jensen, is the
curious law that landlord still
can collect full rent from a home
partially damaged by enemy
action.

Crime, Inc. Trio To Be Placed In Parents Custody

No action by either the local pO- lice or Hartford authorities is ex- pected to be taken against the three minors, all grammar school students from Hartford, who were caught by two motor patrOlmen Sunday night. The youths were rec leased in the custody of their par ents, it was learned today. Juve- nile authorities will take no formal action against them.
 The three youngsters, ages, IA, 15 and 16, were found with two revolvers in their possession, a .22 caliber and a .32 caliber revolver. Two boxes of cartridges were also taken from the youngsters.
 Other paraphernalia which the youths had were: knives, a few detective magazines, newspaper clippings of recent vintage of yegg robberies in Hartford, which they used as model, slips and notes kept in a cigar box telling them how to rob banks and kidnap celebrities, and which had Mickey Rooney as one of it's prospective victims, with Deanna Durbin, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Nan Grey and Helen Parrish, among the ga- laxy to select from.
 Capt. Joseph P. Stevens. head of the detective bureau, blamed the detective magazine for ideas which set them out on a career of crime, and also said that the boys told him that the gang idea was nurtured on attending gangster movies and listening to crime pro- grams on the air. He said that the readings of holdups and yegg ac- tivities in the newspapers were other causes.
