SeIectee Acquitted

Robert j. Sopourn, 25, of 2112
Eighteenth street NV, was ac-
quilted yesterday by a District Court
jury on a charge of assaulting Po-
liceman Raymond D. Padgett, 48,
of No. 9 Precinct last October 27 in
an alley between West Virginia and
Montello avenues near Mount
Olivet road NV.
Sopourn had been indicted on a
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon-a homemade blackjack
but Justice F. Dickinson Let's re-
duced the charge to simple assault
after holding the Government had
produced insufficient evidence to
prove Sopourn had held the black
jack, which was found near the
scene.

by defense.
This amount" he said, 'is con-
Servative and is needed urgently.
Another witness, A. F. Hinrichs,
acting commissioner of labor sta
tistics, said there was grave danger
that migration into defense areas
may be excessive.
The mere statement that workers
will be needed" said Mr.. Hinrichs,
may precipitate flood of job seek
ers to the community. We shall need
a guided migration of many thou
sands of workers to man defense in
dustries. The employment service
is the only agency in the country
with facilities to guide this move

During a discussion with commit

During a discussion with commit
| tee members, Mr.. Palmer said:
You can go two blocks from this
office and see one Of the worst slums
in the world, and I've seen the slums
of London, Moscow, Naples, Paris
and elsewhere"
He saw elimination of slums as an
important factor in morale and well
fare.
In response to a question, Mr..
Palmer called 'legislating rents a
great headache" and he added:
Some times it has to be done, but
it should be done only as a last
resort"
Explaining the need for a defense
housing agency, he said, There is
danger that the new workers coming
into the community to work in the
new or expanded industries may be
unable to find houses for themselves
and their families or even to find
single rooms"
Purpose Restricted.
It's purpose, he said, is restricted
to "insuring that the defense pro-
gram is not handicapped by lack of
housing"
Mr.. McNutt told the committee
headed by Representative Tolan,
Democrat, of California, that the
placement of over 100000 soldiers
in camps, already accomplished,
raises some of the same problems"
as we're created in Western States
by the wanderings of farm laborers
Approximately 700 900 workers now
constructing new Army camps and
Navy bases will be pared down to
100000 by the end of this year, Mr..
McNutt said, and this curtailment
alone will involve the shift of jobs
or residence for half million work.
ers and their families.
The committee was told that
much useless migration" has ac-
companied the defense effort and
that in some cases three or four
times as many workers as needed
have appeared at plants offering
defense employment. Use of the
United States Employment Service
would minimize this condition and
its resultant suffering, Mr.. McNutt
suggested.

ties.
Civilian defense" he told the
committee. means that we must
develop all the abilities which we
have and be willing to go wherever
our talents can be most useful"
In the Northeast States, Mr.. Nc
Mutt said, there are 2,355,000 de-
fense jobs and a labor supply Of
3,074000 Other regions he sum-
married. as follows:
South and Southwest, defense en-
ployment, $4,000; workers, $780,
900: Lake States. jobs, 10000;
workers, 2688,000; Pacific and
mountain region, jobs, 100000;
workers, 100000.
Mr.. McNutt estimated that the
Federal Government would have to
build or rent $50 health, recreation
and community centerS to provide
necessary facilities for the mass OF
migrants dislocated by defense work
C. F. Palmer, defense housing CO.
ordinator, told the committee the
housing agency had arranged the
start of 72803 family units in 136
localities in At States and Territories
as result of the defense program
OF these, 25 ,998 are for the families
of Army and Navy non-commiS-
stoned officers. 1t is hoped, he said
to eliminate the ghost towns SC

Alaska, Hawaii, the Canal Zone and
Puerto Rico.
Pointing to the need for health,
living and recreational facilities in
many communities, Mr.. McNutt
said:
"Manifestly it is of great concern
to the National Government that
the morale of the armed forces and
civilian workers should be safe
guarded by assuring them that the
health, educational and recreational
needs If their families will not be
neglected. There is also a Federal
financial responsibility, since much
of this emergency migration is not
permanent, and local communities
therefore do not feel justified in
making capital outlayS for perma-
nent facilities"
Mr.. McNutt emphasized 1.-The tre-
mendous task involved in the re-
location of our population for de-
fense."
Asked if he thought the Federal
Government would have to under
take general, direct relief, Mr.. Nc
Mutt said it would if the situation
were to be solved.
Pitiful Situations.
The theory has been, he pointed
out, that the States would look after
unemployables and the Federal
Government employables.
Neither has performed" he said
sharply.
Are people starving?" he was
asked
yes" he said, "they are not get
ting the proper food or enough of
1t. They are pitiful situations in
this country"
New Relief Category Proposed.
While the communities were being
asked to do what they could for
defense migrants, he added that
I'VE believe that the Federal Gov
ernment should guarantee adequate
services and protection for the FAM
lilies of those who will furnish the
man power for defense"
To help solve the migrant problem,
Mr.. McNutt suggested that fourth
category of general relief be estab-
lished, under which Federal funds
would be made available to the
States by the Social Security Board
on the same basis as the other forms
of relief, He urged so per cent
grant for administration and assist
ance provided the States will make
available assistance and service
without regard to residence or set
tlement."
Mr. McNutt recalled that the
President had requested $l50,000 900
for construction of physical facilities
