Spurt in Social Work
Advised on Easing Of
Tension on Agencies
Mssr. Shehon Tells
Federal Chest Forum
Of New Problems

A lessening of financial pressure
on welfare agencies here as a result
of the national defense effort should
spur social workers on rather than
causing them to relax, Msgr. Law
renee j. Shehan, director of Cath
loic Charities, urged yesterday in
addressing the Federal Community
Chest Forum in O'Donnell's Restau-
rant.
Increased opportunity for employ
ment in defense programs have cut
a number of welfare cases handled
by the Catholic group, he explained,
but warned that the influx of persons
drawn here by national defense was
causing new problems.
There are increased numbers of
persons who for one reason or an
other failed to get the promised
jobs here, and they must be aided
until such time as jobs materialize, /"
Msgr. Shehan said.
Illustrates One Type.
Illustrating one of the many new
problems faced by agencies, the
speaker told of family in which the
father lost his small job as a result
of injury, after the son, who was
partly supporting the family, had
been called to duty under selective
service.
Such families must be tided over
until the son returns from service or
until the father finds lighter work, {"
he added.
This leSsening of economic pres
sure should spur us on to greater
efforts because we are facing a sit
uation resembling the days i'm
mediately preceding the last war"
MSgr. Shehan declared. After the
present emergency, he said, I'VE also
face great problems of readjust-
ment."
Robert E. Bondy, director of the
Board of Public Welfare, a second
speaker on the program, described
the problem of persons coming to
the city in search of defense jobs as
"the one big question mark" to well
fare authorities. Among the human
problems" arising out of selective
service, he asserted, will be finding
employment for draftees when their
training period is over
Cites Recreational Needs.
Meanwhile, he added, authorities
here must develop wholesome recrea-
tional facilities for large numbers
of enlisted men coming to the city
for week ends.
In addition, a study by the council
of local rental problems will be made
soon, he said. From this is expected
to come arrangements for low-cost
lodging facilities for week end
visitors in the service, Mr.. Bondy
added.
Col. Robert H. Fletcher, president
of the forum, presided.

Handicap Seen if Defense
AGENCIES Grow Too Biu

Two management experts warned
last night that administration Of the
defense program can be handi-
capped seriously if the individual
operating units become too large
and their functions become too
vaguely defined
Speaking before the Washington
Chapter of the Society for the Ad-
vancement of Management at the
Y. w. c. A., Marshall Dimock, ad-
ministrative assistant in the Justice
Department, declared that the size
Of an operating unit necessarily af-
fects its efficiency and the services
1t can render.
Robert Then, General Motors
Corp. executive, agreed that operat-
ing units can become too large, but
he stressed that big companies and
Government agencies can function
efficiently by keeping the size of
individual operating units compar-
atively small,

Despite the German reports here,

There was an unconfirmed report

B, the Associated Press.
Only a few hours notice will be
needed, officials said today, to start
assembling food supplies for ship
ment to Great Britain.
When the order comes through, 1t
was explained, all the Surplus Mar
keting Administration will have to
do is to increase the food orders con-
stantly being issued for domestic re-
lief distribution purposes.
A detailed program for supplying
Britain with essential foods was ex-
pected in a few days. President
Roosevelt disclosed at his press con-
ference yesterday that he had as
signed the problem to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wickard and DR..
Thomas Parran, head Of the Public
Health Service.
Besides Britain, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, other democracies were in
volved. He mentioned also that
Spain would be aided, and that the
Red Cross was getting ready two
cargoes of grain for unoccupied
France.
Ample Supplies Available.
First food shipments to Britain
are expected by the Agriculture De-
partment to include pork, lard, evap-
oratec and dried milk, cheese, pow
dered eggs, dried fruits, fruit juices,
dried vegetables-all products said
to ne most needed.
Farm officials said they believed
that the expected 1941 crop produc-
ton coupled with existing surpluses
would be ample to supply domestic
needc as well as those of Great Brit
ain and any other possible recipients
of American food aid.
Arrangements for the transfer of
food to the British will be made by
Secretary Wickard, DR.. Parran and
the British Food Ministry. Mr..
Roosevelt indicated that a part Of
the cost would be borne by funds
provided in the pending lease-lend
appropriation.
Agriculture Department officials
expect pressure from Southern
congressman to require the British
to take cotton. These officials said,
however, that shortage of shipping
space probably would eliminate cot
ton. at least for the present. They
also pointed out that Britain had
imposed new restrictions upon do
mestic cotton consumption in a move
70 cut down on imports.
Cotton Fund Earmarked,
Despite this, Representative
Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia in
formed the House yesterday that
100,000,000 of the lease-lend ap-
preparation had been earmarked for
cotton and $50,000,000 for tobacco.
Officials said some tobacco might
be included in the early shipments
Other nations, too, were looking
to the larder of America.
Finland negotiated a $4,000, 900
credit with the Export Import Bank
yesterday to be used here "pri-
marily for the purchase of food
within the next few months"
Neutral Fire, pinched by the sea
war, has a representative en- route
here to seek supplies. Mr.. Roose-
welt was reminded of that yester-
day when he was discussing the
food aid program. His reply was
to inquire how shipments could be
sent. Fire is in the combat zone,
where American ships are pro-
hibited under the Neutrality Act.
