community cooperation and respon-
sibility!
Children in Washington have &C
complished wonderful things. They
have gone all-out for getting in the
scrap, and for adopting courses in
training that will be of inestimable
value to them and to the country
later on. Those groups already or
ganized have a record to be proud
Of; it is the small gangs, and street
playground individuals that need to
be given something tangible to do.
Mothers could help lot by open
ing their homes for meetings of the
children living within their block;
they could encourage the youngsters
by furnishing armbands, an occa-
sional cookie ie-and-ice-cream feast
and they could, more than any one
else, keep them interested by words
of understanding and helpful sug-
gestions.
But, fundamentally, theirs must
be hands attitude. Such a
project should be handled in its
widest scope by the children them
selves, so that they may learn to
feel they have an important place
in winning this war.
Thus the street gangs would be
transformed into valuable American
citizens.

could take hold of Armies" plan,

During after school hours Annie s"
idea Of keeping the streets quiet for
those workers who are catching their
sleep before going on night shifts
could certainly be put to good use.
The same consideration could be ex-
ercised in the early morning. for
others who need rest and quiet to
carry on the exigencies of their jobs.
Children, needless to say, are fully
aware of this war-more so than
some of the adults encountered oc-
casionally! They play war games
necessarily, with noise and hula
baloo; this urge to express them
selves in terms of war, to have some
part in it, might we'll be turned to
good account instead of being a
nuisance to all within hearing dis
tance. Reports from England say
that the same situation exists there;
the children insist on making war
at their play, and, when attempts
have been made to thwart them have
resorted to stealth and secrecy to
keep up their games. How much
better if this impelling urge were
directed into channels that would
teach the virtues of consideration,

The accident occurred shortly
before midnight while the two
Navy blimps were making an ex.

Ensign Howard Fahey of Scars

airships was the only man aboard
the two craft able TO save himself.
He smashed the glass OF the ships

struggled to safety.
He was the thirteenth man
aboard the blimps. All OF the
others were missing and believed

ton were reported.
The blimps were cruising at
400 feet when the collision &C.

I'D. r. Might

Gas Rationiing
Expect New Plan
to Cut Driving

Washington, June 9-UP-Con-
gressional leaders today believe
that there is a chance President
Roosevelt may not order nation
wide rationing OF gasoline as a rub
Der conservation measure. But
they expect some drastic curtail-
ment of non-essential motoring TO
be inevitable.
Softening OF the trend toward
nationwide gasoline rationing was
believed to be the direct result OF
strong congressional pressure
against It. Democrats and Repub-
licans have joined in the revolt"
against rationing in areas that
have plentiful gasoline supplies.
Opposition to the proposal has
been expressed twice by Speaker
Sam Rayburn. D., Tex.
The final decision apparently has
been postponed until a survey OF
present stocks OF scrap rubber can
be made. President Roosevelt told
House and Senate leaders yester-
day that his mind is not made up
on the gasoline-rubber situation.
But he indicated. according to re-
ports by the conferees. that II the
rubber survey is at all favorable.
the situation will be met by rub
Der rstioning" rather than gasoline
rationing.
The War Production Board and
the Office OF Price Administration
have insisted that to conserve ire
placeable tires on the nation au-
tomobiles non-essential driving
must stop. Those agencies contend
that the most effective method of
doing that is TO limit the supply OF
gasoline available for non-essential
driving TO some weekly figure, such
as four gallons.
