 "They are excellentIy qual. flied for this kind of duty" ar- gued Bridges. "AlsO, this would mean Q reduction In nOn-de- fense spending, about which there has been so much talk but nothing done. I have always considered the CCC one Of the best programs undertaken by the New Deal, but with our en- trance into the war 1t has out lived It's purpose"
 Senator II. II. Schwartz, staunch wyoming New Dealer, vigorously objected, contending that the eco provided excellent character building training for unemployed youth and should be continued.
 Besides" he said, "what you propose would call for special ixed training 0f eco mes. This would place an added burden on the Army"
 "Bosh!" exploded Bridges. "Th0se husky boys already are trained for the type of work I suggest. Many of them have learned vocational trades which equips them for defense indus trial jobs, and the others could be moblllzed for guard duty with very little training"

Selected Poem
RosE-oF- SHARON

ROSE-OF- SHARON (By Elizabeth Chandlee Forman in the
 Christian Science Monitor I saw rose-of Sharon once,
 Down by the autumn sea. Beside little house 1t grew Into whose door the sea-wind blew And the rickety roof was all askew
 And the panes stared wistfully. It seemed an old, deserted place,
 Dreaming in monday trance. But never house was less alone, For where the sunlight warmest shone The rose-of Sharon basked, full-blown,
 In living radiance. With pink rose-petals opened wide,
 It was lovely thingl It gazed into my face as though So filled it was with long ago, It could not hide it's overflow
 Of joy, remembering.

In the Balkan crisis, Sir Stat
ford Cripps, British ambassador

Anthony Eden amid reports
that Britain was seeking to have
Turkey regulate traffic through
the Dardanelles - waterway
between the Mediterranean and
the Black Sea - and thus choke
off a route of oil shipments to
the Rome-Berlin axis.
OF vital concern to Russia, the
Dardanelles provides the main

believed Eden would propose
that Turkey bar all merchant
traffic without special permis-
sion. Though neutral, Turkey
