: CAMBRIDGE Mass. Aug. 90
= CUP)-Drafting of fathers will af-
feet families in many. diverse ways
n black and white the main effects
can be catalogued in the following
manner:
Bilogically-drafting will tend to
decrease the birth-rate in many
families If fathers are away for a
long time. Sickness, accidents, and
deterioration of health-especially
Of children-will increase in some
cases due to q lowered standard of
living.
= Psychologically-thp draft will
spread sadness, sorrow, anxiety. and
insecurity among most families.
Various psycho-neuroses will result
ia a portion of these families. How
ever. the grace of duty and sacri-
flee for the common good will al
leviate this condition.
Economically-the income of a
greater part of the families involved
will be decreased. Their material
standard of living would be lowered.
Material hardships would increase.
The drafting of fathers would force
members of the family to separate
TO hunt for additional jobs. The
work burden of mother and child
rem would increase.
Morally and religiously-for good
families with a strong love, devo-
ton and loyalty, the draft will in
tensify and deepen moral stamina,
religiosity, sense of duty, and de-
votion. In loose and weak fam
ilies the results are likely to be
opposite.

Although the Russian statement,
a reprint in the Embassy's informa-
tion bulletin from a Moscow per-
iodical called war and the working
classes, was aimed primarily at
Polish revival of an East Europe
Federation proposal, it obviously
was aimed at all such plans.
There are quite n few Such
plans, starting with the plan Tor
the creation of a United States OF
Europe, Europe, and ending
with the plan for creating Europe
divided into various federatlons,
considerations and regional blocs
of states" the Russian statement
said AN attentive scrutiny of these
plans Immediately and completely
gives away the imperialiStic intent

BLASTS HOPE
The statement apparently blasts
any hope that the New Polish gov
ernment in-eXile in London and the
Soviet Union will bury the hatchet
in the near future.
Diplomats here and in London
had hoped that the New Polish gov
ernment of Stanislaw Mikolajczyk,
formed to replace that of Gen.
Wlayslav Sikorski, who was killed
in an airplane last month, might
find some basis upon which Soviet
Polish diplomatic relations could be
resumed. Russia severed rela-

government appealed to the interna-
tional Red Cross to investigate Ger

Fight on Greenbe|t
Rents 10 Be Pushed
Councils Refusal of Funds
Won't Affect Plans

Refusal of the Greenbelt Town
Council to contribute funds to the
fight against rent increases in the
town will not affect the Rent Pro-
test Committees plans to institute
court action against the rent boosts
that became effective last month,
Martin Miller, chairman of the COM
mittee, declared today.
The Councils action was taken
after John S. White, Colmar Manor
attorney and House of Delegates ma
iority leader. had ruled that mu-
nicipal corporations have no author
ity to contribute or lend funds to a
private group of citizens, even
though the benefits received may
eventually serve some public pur-
pose.
The Rent Protest Committee last
month employed Baltimore legal
firm in an effort to obtain an in
junction against the rent increases,
which were authorized by the Fed
eral Public Housing Authority. Mr..
Miller said he expected to have def
mite news concerning this action
within a few days.
Declaring 5000 of the $1,50O
needed to pay legal fees has been
raised, Mr.. Miller appealed to resi-
dents to contribute the remaining
$500 as soon as possible.
I'VE have good chance to win
this battle If we get the co-opera-
ton of every one" Mr.. Miller as
serted.

At least 500 Virginia youths who

ing to enter fields Of defense activi-

Frank Allston. manager OF ma jor
NYA project at Manassas that in
cluded both industrial and farm
courses, said 81 faculty members and
287 students will be affected there
by Congress failure to appropriate
funds for operation, thus automatic
ally abolishing the NYA projects.
I'VE don't even have money enough
to liquidate properly" Mr. Allston
said. He explained that the agri-
cultural project is being abandoned
at time when harvest time is near
and that the need o. attending it
at this time is vital. Il don't know
what is going to become of the vege-
tables, many of which will be ready
for eating in another week" He
said he imagined the Treasury will
take charge of the truck garden, as
we'll as the other property, which in
cludes nine buildings.
Of the Manassas NYA students,
approximately $50 had completed 10
weeks of training to qualify for war
work, Mr.. Allston said. The others
are expected to return to farms,
homes and other schools for defense
work preparation.
