see enough criminals to last an average man

The FB1 in those days wasn't what it is
today. Few persons outside of Washington
had even heard of John Edgar Hoover The
term G-Man hadn't been coined. Old-line
policemen openly sooffed at Hoover's scien-

Boy Scouts" In that atmosphere Ed Sackett
went to Kansas City to see what he could do
about keeping peace. His story from then to

GIVES WARNING
TO THE NATION
Says We Must Prepare Our
selves For Defense AS We
Have Never Done Before
ADDRESSES ELKS LODGE
IN CAMBRIDGE, MD.

Addressing an Americanism Meet
ing of the Cambridge Lodge of Elks
Monday night, Governor Herbert R..
O'Conor warned his hearers that 1--WE
must prepare ourselves for defense
as we never have been prepared be-
fore. AS American citizens all, we
must be prepared and resolute to do
the part assigned us, whether that
part be to join the military or naval
forces of our country, or to assist in
some other capacity here at home in
a secondary line of Defense"
"Now at last" the Governor de-
clared, "our American people are be-
ginning to realize that Democracy, as
we know and value it here in Amer
lea, is fighting for its life, is making
desperate stand against the on
slaughts of dictator-led undemocratic
nations.
"More than ever, in the light of
what happened throughout the world
recently, is there reason why Amer
lea and its principles should be a liv-
ing thing in the hearts and minds of
every citizen. No other nation on the
face of the earth has so much that is
definitely worthy of being proud Of
and definitely worth protecting. AS
has been rightly said, however, "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty
and America will continue to be free
just as long as you and I, its citi-
zens, are vigilant to protect it. Be-

NATL YOUTH
ORGANIZATION
is CRITICIZED
If COuntry's Economic Status
Has Changed, Policy Still
Good For The Individual
N. Y. A. is COSTING US
NEARLY $1OO,OOO,OOO

The National Youth Administration
is not an agency which can be con-
demned out of hand. There was a
period in the late depression when a
strong case could be made for it as
for the WPA. There are doubtless
instances today when it justifies it
self as far as the individual is con-
cerned.
Nevertheless, most of the need for
which the NYA was created has been
dissipated by the change in the coun-
try's economic status. Under the cir
cumstances, the intelligent policy
would be to let the system die ma
tural death. But there is a major
force working against this intelligent
policy. There are hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of officeholders under the
NYA. They have become a sort of
vested interest. Like all officehold-
ers, they will fight to the last ditch
to maintain their places on the public
pay roll. They are certain to make
every effort to justify their under
taking, to prove that it is necessary
to the national defense. They have
all but abandoned the notion of neces-
sary relief for the unemployed and
are urging along wholly different
lines.
But their arguments need not be
taken too seriously. 1t is fact that
the NYA is costing the country near
