COP Gains TO Benefit
Nation, Tydinos Says

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. Nov. 9.-Senatcr
Tydings, Democrat, Of Maryland
believes that results of last Tues
days election-Which saw the Re-
publicans gain many seats in both
houses of Congress-Will result to
the national good
In an address over Radio Station
WBAL, Senator Tydings said
Now, with the parties more
equally divided in both branches of
Congress. the national welfare
should be better served. The party
margin in Congress is now too mar
row for either side to be reckless in
what it does The people have
shown they are on the alert. They
have served notice on all that they
expect a better brand of law max
ing and administration, particularly
during the war, than they have
been getting in cases up to now"
The Senator said he considered
"the failure of the administration
to conduct the National Govern
ment with more efficiency end
economy in the face of heavy taxes
and large expenditures" to have
been one of the principal causes of
the Republican upsurge.

Phone Trailer
To Be Tried Out
In Alexandra

A request from the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. to put a
public telephone trailer on the
southwest corner of King and Wash
ington streets has been received by
the Alexandria City Council and will
be considered at its meeting
tomorrow night.
Officials of the company said after
survey had been made of the aver
age waiting time of persons wishing
to make phone calls in the more
congested part of the city they de-
cided there are not enough pay sta
tions to take care of the need, espe-
cially on week ends, when many
servicemen are in the city.
The trailer will be used as an ex-
pertinent to determine whether a
permanent pay station will be estab-
lished in the location.
An operator will be in attendance
in the trailer, which contains five
booths. 1t is similar to one at Fort
Belvoir for use of soldiers. Others
have been used at fairs, race tracks
and other places to give temporary
telephone service.

Alexandra Officials
Report Increase in
Juvenile Delinquency
Cases for 10 Months
Already Exceed
All of 1941

Juvenile delinquency and truancy
are on the increase in Alexandria,
according to Miss Evelyn Bowers,
school attendance officer, and Miss
Anne Monroe, probation officer for
the Juvenile Court. who reported
that 337 cases had been handled in
the court during the first 10 months
of 1912, compared to 254 cases for
all of 1941.
Labor shortages and employment
of women as we'll as the effect of
the war on family relationships
are to blame, according to Miss
Bowers, who said she has trouble
in contracting parents to discuss tru-
ancy problems, and found very lit
tie cooperation in the homes.
The lack of a representative from
the Child Labor Board in Northern
Virginia is another factor, since
employment of children of school
age has a great deal to do with
both truancy and delinquency prob
!, lens, Miss Bowers said.
Ten-year- boys are found

alleys and are often unable to get
up to go to school after working
late at night. Miss Bowers said.
Employment of IA and Is year.
olds as clerks is not uncommon,
and even if the hours are such that
the children could go to school,
they are likely to play hockey in
order to spend the money they are
earning, the attendance officer
said.
Miss Monroe said that immortality
among white girls was on the in
crease and could be laid partially
to the large numbers of soldiers
visiting the city.
Both truancy and delinquency
result from mothers working and
leaving their children alone, officials
said.

The second group comes under
the heading of urgent Incidents and
will be stamped important" When
Wardens report these incidents they

centers to dispatch squads and
equipment.

Inactive Units
Of 0CD in CITY
Face Shake-up
Mutual Assistance
Committee Named
By Council Chief

Inactive civilian Defense COM
mittees in Washington either will be
lacked up by the Civilian Defense
Council or replaced by citizens more
willing to do the job, Leonard
Tucker, president of the council,
declared today.
At the same time, he announced
the appointment of a mutual as
sistance committee designed to put
all civilian defense area COM
mittees on working basis
Members of the new committee
are DR.. Ralph B. Kennard of Six
teenth Street Highlands; George L.
Thomas, Howard Park, and Harry
Friedman, Sixteenth Street Heights.
AS basis for its activities the
new committee will use the Civilian
Defense Committee reports from the
66 areas recently submitted to local
OCD. Some areas turned in in
complete reports and some did not
report at all In at least two areas,
according to the reports, the Civilian
Defense Committee has disbanded.
Meeting Set Tomorrow.
Discussion of the job before the
mutual assistance group is scheduled
tonight when Mr.. Tucker has called
an Executive Committee meeting of
the council.
Before November 19 when the
council meets again, Mr.. Tucker
said he hoped definite plan could
be prepared so the council could
vote on the action to be taken with
each backward group.
The most important job, Mr.
Tucker said, was to get the inactive
committees reorganized After that,
members Of the mutual assistance
committee will help the newly Or
ganized groups in starting recruit
ing, fund raising and civilian mobi-
lization programs.
Where area committees are not
functioning, Mr.. Tucker said the
mutual assistance group will check
with Chief Air Raid Warden Will
liam j. Mileham to determine if the
warden service in the area is active
Then the help of deputy warden of
the area may be solicited to obtain
names of citizens who might be
willing to serve on the Civilian De-
tense Committee.
Alternative Proposed.
As an alternative, Col Lemuel
Bolles. executive director of District
civilian defense might be asked to
call a mass meeting of citizens of
the area to elect their own repre-
sentatives. Wherever possible. how
ever. an attempt will be made to
inject life into the original COM
mittee.
The Civilian Defense Council plan
follows publication of the area re-
ports on civilian defense activities
which OCD officials frankly ad-
mitted were Disappointing in many
cases. The goal of the council is
to put all committees on an equal
footing so the overall program in
each area will be kept moving.
AS an indication that some areas
were less active than others. Mr
Tucker pointed to the fact that re-
peated requests sent to all civilian
defense committees to appoint two
representatives to the council had
resulted in represent ton from only
40 instead of the entire &c areas.

charged.
Law Enforcement Mapped.
"A definite enforcement program
is now being mapped by enforcement

dwelling units by landlords who
failed to register such properties
with the area rent director.
He described abuses of both rent
and sanitation laws as "pyramiding'

"One by one these landlords are
being taken to task. 1t is time that

At the same time they are serving a the
backbone of the movement to mdocnmate
the principles of accident prevention among
an army of industrial supervisors, numbering
22,OOO men, who within few months will be,
on guard night and day over every major war
factory in America. Like sentries on duty
against enemy attack, they will watch every
machine and every worker for safety condi-
tons and safety practices. Each one will be
virtually safety car in his own plant.
These 1900 potential safety experts -
foremen, department superintendent and
many workers right out of the ranks - have
already started night studies at 20 engineering
colleges and technological Institutes the ma
ton over. where 500 classes in safety theory
and practice will be conducted through
the fall and early winter.
What Yea Gem De
lMs war ON the home front can be won.
America has demonstrated beyond any ques-
ton its ability to meet industrial hazards as
well as problems The Department of Labor
has turned it's resources to the task: the
National Safety Council is raising $5.0OO,-
600 fund to tmdawite its expanded efforts
to cut factory hazards; and management and
labor are cooperating IN the gigantic effort.
We IN the ranks, IN our Offices and homes,
at the bench or IN the shop, can do our part
by evelastmgH preaching and practicing
safefv. Here il what that means:

We must not lose sight Of the fact, for an
instant, that accidents outside of our indus
trial plmts t2ke an even greater toll of life
and limb among industrial workers than aoci-

sense of caution against accidents to become
dimmed IN the slightest respect The oonser-

every American
Whatever our ancestry. our race or our

means we all fight somewhere, somehow.
This struggle for safety is whole war in
itself. We must win it - we will, if each one
vigilantly and unfailingly does his part!
