THE TEEN
AGE PROBLEM
(Christian Science Monitor)


Quick to gasp in dismay over reports
of the 'teen-age problem, the public should
be equally ready to speak up IN behalf OF
efforts to solve it. At the Harvard Sum-
mer School Seminar on youth Standards
in Wartime, educators, social workers,
parents and pastors have devoted month
of study and work to the development of
plan designed to stabilize the home front
and bolster the morals of teen-age boys
and girls.
They proposed that the school become
more of a community center, not only Tor
children, but parents that the school day
and term be heightened, that gymnasiumS
be kept open in the evening, and pro-
grams of community interest promoted;
that teachers be trained in social work as
we'll as the art of instruction.
The Seminar deplOred the modern
"flippant attitude of many parents and
teachers. They saw need for tightening
of moral discipline in home and school,
urged programs of parent education.
Above, all the Seminar stressed the i'm
portance of a better groundwork OF re-
igiOus education. Not only for the very
young, but continuing through high school
and college age and among young people
in industry.
The emotional upheaval of wartime,
with family separations, trailer-camp llv-
ing, and let-doan in social standards,
calls for prompt and concerted effort If
the stability of family, community, and
national life is to be maintained Efforts
of the Harvard Summer School Seminar
and others to help meet the need of the
times are worthy of earnest public at
tention and support.

THE UNPROBABILITY"

There is another recent instance
Of how this Navy hangs onto its
traditions and it has a bearing on
this subject of reluctance TO give
the air arm its full and proper rec
ignition. This may be unfair to
the extent that the ideas of a lot
of people have changed considerably
in the last 20 years.
In the Navy Department files
there is a report on the expert
mental bombing of the old battle
ship Indiana, i'm October, 1920.
This was before the famous Gen.
Billy Mitchell bombing of battle
ships off the Virginia capes in
1921, but il was none the less
important.
The report from the director OF
gunnery, in charge OF the expert
ments, concluded with this peril
nent paragraph Of a memorandum
to the secretary of the navy:
I'm a general way, it was fount
that the damage to material from
aerial bombs was local, that per
sonnel in unprotected positions
within the blast area would be de-
stroyed, that personnel in closet
and armored turrets would prob
ably not be incapacitated, and con
sidering the probable effect of de
fense gunfire against aircraft al
| the low altitude necessary in ordel
to be accurate with heavy aeria
bombs against a rapidly moving
target at sea, the entire expert
ment pointed to the unprobabilit,
of modern battleship being eithe
destroyed or completely put out o
action by aerial bombs
The report is signed by Capt. W
d. Leahy, then director OF the gun
merry exercises, now Admiral w. Il
Leahy, retired, recently appointe,
chief of staff to President Roose
velt.

THEY MAKE THE BREAKS

1t was strange to read of a dispatch
in a London newspaper which said, among
other things, that American forces In the
Solomons may reach their complete OBJ
jective if they "get the breaks.
One is inclined to suspect-wlthout AMI
mosity-that it was case of sour grapes
with the British correspondent. 1t would
be hard to take if the tables were revers-
ed, and we had been at war many weary
months, and a newcomer to the conflict
launched the first offensive our side had
taken.
At any rate, the Britisher evidently
lacked even the slightest understanding
of the U. S. Marine Corps, its history and
traditions, and its personnel. We do not
know by what standard he judged, but 1t
was the wrong one.
The Marines don't 'get the breaks,
they make them. They don't depend upon
the luck the correspondent mentioned
several times They carry their own luck
with them-and it is the best luck of all
fighting spirit.
No matter how the breaks go, Amerl-
cans are waiting for word from the Solo
mons that will say, "The Marines have
landed and have the situation well IN
hand"

VETO POWER

The board shall recommend to the
secretary of the navy the number
and types of ships and aircraft
proper to constitute the fleet, and
the building program that shall be
recommended to Congress each year
not only for ships and planes but
also for naval yards, stations and
bases. The duty with regard to avi-
alton is elaborated upon:
The General Board shall con-
slider and recommend to the Sec
retary Of the navy the general
military characteristics which
should be embodied i'm the design
for new service classes types Of
aircraft
There you have the cruX. This
is the board that, even if it does
not orinigate the designs and or
ganiZation for the Bureau of Aero
nautics, at least has the veto pow
er over such matters as far as max
ing recommendations to the Secre-
tary and to Congress is concerned
Who has been appointed to the
board? Three full admirals, Hep
burn, Hart and Bloch. all of whom
were retired and called back to ac-
tive duty by the war emergency; two
rear admirals, Sexton and Row
cliff, of whom the former was re-
tired; two captains, Pence and Ma
honey, of whom the former was re-
tired and the latter is secretary
Only the two captains are under
60. Five of the seven officers are
retired, men who may have beer
considered great stuff back in World
War One, but who are now calleC
upon to determine naval policy tol
the somewhat different World Wa
| Two.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

Checkup on the seven high Off
GERS just named to the new Gen
eral Board of the Navy reveals not
one of these officers is from the
Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, and
not one has had training as nav
al aviator. Several have command
| ed naval forces which have had air
arms in the command, but none
is considered an authority on avia-
ton.
According to naval aviation en-
thusiasts, this is typical of the
representation which aviation has
i'm the top command of the U. S.
Navy i'm the predOminantly aerial
warfare of today. Admiral Ernest
J. King, comm;.nGer-in-c chief of
the u. S. fleet is entitled to wear
the pilots wings. But on the staff
of CINCUS and i'm the Office of
Naval Operations, only about one
officer i'm IL has come up thru
naval aviation. Contrast that with
the general staff of the Army,
where one half of the officers are
airmen.
Makeup of the Navy's General
Board may in one manner of speak
ing be considered unimportant. 1t
is a group of advisers to the secre-
tary of the navy, kind of board of
directors, a council of elder states
men. But the Navy regulations pre-
scribe for this board some rather
important responsibilities.
Regulations say the board shall
be made up of not less than five line
officers, none below the rank of
captain. A Marine general may be
named, but nothing is said about an
airman. None of the officers may
have other executive or admins
trative duties.

Could Not Draw?

The Tanks? We'll aren't they the boys so talented that they should be broken up? Don't they comprise one of the great clubs of all time? The answer to all these questions is a resounding 'yea" Yet, Barrow doesn't believe his Tanks could draw customers outside of town.
 He and his colleagues are so in- tent on protecting the trees that they have forgitten the forest fire. They are so concerned with protect ing their series this year they have forgotten that for baseball there may be no next year. They have forgotten that they no longer are masters of their fate and are merely coasting along on what amounts to borrowed time.
 And the owners have forgotten one thing even more important. They have forgotten that the boys they are being asked to help fnan- cially are marching off to a war from which they won't all march back.

FRISCH TRIED TO TEACH OWEN TO HIT TO RIGHT

Owen is big cat on bunts and throws well.
 He lifted his batting average from .23l to .318 by learning to hit to right field.
 T tried to drill that knack into Owen when he worked under me with the Cardinals" asserts Frank Frisch of the Pirates. He lacks the power to pull the ball to left field. He couldn't reach the fence, SO too frequently was an easy out on hoppers to the shortstop. Now that he's hitting mostly to right, fly balls drop safely and liners go between the first and second base men,"
 President MacPhail gave the St. Louis club $35,OO and Gus Man cuso and pitcher for Owen, and now reveals that the young man belonged to him in the first place.
 In one of his economy waves. Sam Breadon let the late California history professor, Charles E. Chap man, go as a scout. Chapman is the man who came up with Chick Hafey and Taylor Douthit.

 New York, July Twelve safety rules for swimmers and bathers are listed by Robert E. Laveaga, president of the Ma tional Physical Education So- ciety of the Y.M.C.A., in an effort to lower last years heavy toll.
 "Six thousand pers ons drowned in the United States in 194l," Laveaga comments. Most of the accidents could have been avoided"
 Here are his warnings and tips:
 1-After the winter lay-off take your swimming in easy doses. You may not be as good as you used to be.
 2Don't take fool ish chances. Many fatal accidents result from horse-play in deep water.
 3-Walk out and swim in. That way you'll never get be- yond your depth.

Missed Third Strike Forgotten, Owen Takes Place Among Stars
Hits to Right To Ronk With Bot Leaders

New York, July What effect has that missed third strike in the series had on Mickey Owens play?
 Well, as long as they persist on putting it that way, the only pos- Sible answer is that the celebrated run to the dugout on what should have been the deciding out improv- ed Arnold Malcom Owen.
