CCC, NYA Will
Merge in Youth
Program Shakeup
81 JIMMY HALTO
nv BRUCE CATION
Tacoma Times Correspondent

WASHINGTON - Shakeup
of the whole government
youth program is expected
soon. Out of it will come a
merging of the civilian con-
servation corps and the ma
tional youth administration
into one agency, and it may
be that some of the functions
of the office of education will
also be drawn.
Both Aubrey Williams. head OF
NYA. and J. J. McEntee. head Of
Gee, may be replaced. though who
will head the new agency isn't
known.
Parallels between the work Of
CCC and NYA are obvious CCC
has approximately 1850 camps, in
which 200 900 enrollees are getting
training NYA has 500 work
camps. and has additional work
projects for youths who remain at
home. In all. its programs take
care Of about 10000 young men.
NYA programs offer most Of the
varieties Of work offered by CCC.
and in addition include a good deal
of training in mechanics that the
CCC boys do not get.
Both NYA and CCC draw
their enrollees from relief fam
lilies. Many lads have at one
time or another been In both
groups: most OF the lads who
are eligible for CCC are also
eligible for NYA. and some
times there actually has been
competition for the youths by
the two services.
In general. NYA currently has
been trying to turn out young men
equipped to take jobs in private in
dustry, while CCC has had slightly
more OF a military tinge. Some
army authorities are known TO feel
that CCC might well become
training ground for many Of the
specialists" the growing army
needs - cooks. bakers. truck
drivers, signal corps linemen, and
so on.
