CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 10
When Dean James M. Lands of the
Harvard law school takes over his
new Job as executive in the national
Office of Civilian Defense. he should
rate specially in guarding the citi-
zenS against the JapaneSe-becauSe
he used to play with them.
The slender, sharp-nosed lawyer
who once wrote the blueprints for
many New Deal measures and who
has been appointed by President
Roosevelt to his new post, was born
in Toxic, the son of American Pres
byterian missionaries.
He spent the first 13 years of his
life in the land of the Mikado and
later, when he was a student at
Mercersburg Academy, his class
mates-slightly mixed on their geog-
rephy, nicknamed him "Chink'
But Mr.. Lands, from his Knicker-
booker days, had none Of the easy
going. slow-moving qualities of the
Oriental.
Sold College Notes for $500.
His Princeton mates had to dig
down in their jeans to the tune Of
some $500 as payment to the youth
who devised the plan of selling his
mimeographed class notes to stu
dents who preferred to sleep during
| lectures.
When he was called to the New
Deal family in 1888, after serving as
law secretary to the late Justice
Louis D. Brandeis, Mr.. lands all but
caused a shortage Of black coffee in
Washington.
Closeting himself in hotel room
with Attorney Benjamin Cohen Of
New York, he worked practically
the round OF the clock for days
turning out drafts for the Securities
Act of 1888.
When, at the recommendation Of
Justice Felix Frankfurter. he went
to Washington to do that stint, he
had never invested dollar in the
stock market.
But he did his early work so we'll
he was appointed chairman OF the
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion in 1895, and he had the alli-
ance of many prominent Wall
Streeters.
Backed Court Enlargement.
No seeker of publicity, Mr.. Lam
dis frequently found himself in the
center of headline fights. He was
one of the most outspoken adher-
ents of President Roosevelt's pro-
posal to enlarge the Supreme Court.
Newspaper punditS had holiday
when Mr. Lands, in public ad-
dress, made remarks that were in
terpreted as suggesting that sit
down strikes might eventually be
recognized as lawful.
When. in 1887, he was appointed
dean of Harvard Law School-where
as a student he was ranked as one
of the most brilliant-a New York
lawyer, writing in the Harvard
Alumni Bulletin, took sharp issue
with the appointment.
Declaring Mr.. Lands had vir-
tually approved of sit-down strikes
and that he had a lack of legal
temperament" the lawyer said the
appointment of Mr.. Lands was like
appointing an atheist to head a
school of divinity.
And yet, paradoxically, Mr.. Lam
dis is looked on by liberals as being
conservative and by conservatives as
being extremely liberal, and he COM
mands the respect of both.

lowing short-lived career as bond
salesman yesterday in the American
Hellenic Educational Progressive AS
sociat tons national drive for $50
100000 in war bonds.
Steve started out yesterday morn
ing rather auspiciously. Speaker
Rayburn was his first customer.
Newsreel and newspaper camera
men were on hand to record the
event.
The proceedings were interrupted
briefly when Secret Service agents
reached the crowded scene. Gath
erings are not permitted in the
vicinity of the White House. When
the operatives discovered it was
Steve, however, they permitted the
show to go on.
Speaker Rayburn then purchased
a S25 bond, and received free bag
of peanuts That's Steve's policy
o bag of peanuts with each bond.
Business went along briskly until
late afternoon when the vendor
learned that he must have Treas
ury Department permit to sell bonds.
Up to that time Steves new secre-
tary, Helen Checakalos, was busy
taking down the names of purchas-
ers.
Steve said this morning he hoped
to have his license by tomorrow or
Saturday, in time for the weekend

'NYA Trains Girls for War Jobs
AS Teen-Aqe Youths Enlist

The War Manpower Commission
was reported to be confronted today
by shortage of help within one of
its own agencies-the National
Youth Administrations result
of enlistments of trainees in the
armed forces, anticipating passage
of the teen-age draft bill.
So heavy has been the turnover
among the male, trainees, according
to Aubrey Williams, national youth
administrator, that the agency now
is gearing its operations almost ex-
clusively to the training of women
between the ages of 18 and 25.
The administrator said industry
had been absorbing several thou

Roosevelt announced plans for the
lowering of the draft age. Cur
rently, Mr.. Williams said, war
plants are practically refusing to
take boys between the ages of 10
and TO-"
Il won't say that we will close
down the training of young men,
but from now on we will give pref
erence to young women" he ex-
planned.
Mr.. Williams said the exodus of
youths from NYA training centers
had been foreseen and that girls

placed at lathes, drill presses and

other machine shop equipment,
where they are doing an excellent
job
Today, out of a total of 10000
trainees, so per cent are women
and 20 per cent increase is ex-
pected within three months.
The administrator said that of
NYA's 100000 unit locations only
those suitable to the training of
women would remain in operation.
The approaching lowering of the
draft age is reported to have upset
manpower supply calculations. Be-
fore the Presidents announcement
in his recent speech. the VINO
planned to train 6,500O00 young
and mature workers for war fac
tories between now and Decem-
ber, 1913.

MiIeham Praises
Drill Of Wardens,
Control Personnel
Incident Reporting
Last Night Exhibits
Marked improvement

The first of the new series of train
ing exercises for warden and control
center personnel last night was
marked by noticeable Improvement
in the reporting of incidents, civilian
defense officials agreed today.
At the same time, Chief Air-Raid
Warden William j. Mileham made it
clear that only a small portion of
the warden service in each area
should be "alerted" for each exercise.
This was to clear up a misunder-
standing in some areas where all
wardens had been ordered to stand
by every Wednesday night for the
duration of the three-month train
ing program.
Both Herbert Friede. chief of COM
munication and Mr.. Mileham COM
mented on the marked improvement
of the warden reporters. Mr.. Friede
said the improvement was noticeable
where an incident warden" had
been delegated to make the calls in
stead of having any warden call in.
An incident warden is supposed
to be chosen for each telephone
from which warden reports are
called in to control centers. In an
emergency these men would sift
the reports of wardens at the
scene of the disaster, eliminate du-
plications and fill out and call in
the report to summon aid. They
are chosen for their ability to
speak clearly and their good judg-
ment.
Last nights exercise, during
which no equipment was dispatched,
also marked the first time that in
cidents were prepared by deputy
wardens of each area, an arrange
ment which the wardens them
selves sought so that incidents
would more closely parallel what
might happen in their local COM
munities in real raid.
Mr., Mileham said that his assist
ant chiefs had reached about half
the areas on their incident report
ing instruction tour A special
course in this phase of warden
duty now is being prepared. he
said. by DR.. Paul Douglass, local
OCD director OF training.

gram from the standpoint of
the use to be made of the meat
and from the further standpoint
that it will deprive them of one
of the finest big game sports
remaining in America; that is,
the hunting of elk.
GAS a substitute for this pro-
gram, I urged the government
to corral and transport the sur
plus elk to other parts of Mon

the federal agencies who have
proved so indifferent to the
