unable to provide such facilities.
The money would be spent
under the direction of Paul V.
McNutt, defense coordinator OF
health and welfare, but plans
for the operation of the centers
were understood to be still in
the formative stages.
McNutt declined to discuss
the subject of government-fin-
anced recreation centers but
he said that plans were being
formulated for construction OF
similar facilities with private
funds. Charles p. Taft, McNutts
assistant, has been discussing
the latter plan with representa-
tives of various national welfare
organizations and a number OF
them have agreed to unite in
building and operating the CEN
tiers jointly.
It was said in other authori-
tative quarters, however, that
the need for such places was
greatest in very small towns ad-
jacent to large cantonments and
that such towns would be un-
able to provide them. For that
reason, it was said, an appro-
priation would be sought to take
care Of such cases, although the
government probably would not
build any recreation center in
any community large enough to
provide its own.
McNutt said that his organiz-
alton was attempting to solve
the problem of soldiers recrea-
ton and welfare both by pro-
viding wholesome amusement
and by combating vice and i'm
moral conditions in the vicinity
of camps.
Although McNutt expressed
concern over the vice problem
he indicated that he believed its
magnitude had BEEN exagserat-
ed.
