Vital 10 Curb Child
Crime, Pepper Says
Senate Subcommittee
Plans to Hold Hearings
In Troubled Areas

Swift and co-ordinated action by
every available agency, Govern
ment and private, is needed for
solution of the juvenile delinquency
problem, Chairman Pepper OF the
Senate Investigating Subcommlt-
tee, declared yesterday.
Senator Pepper announced the
group would begin a series Of tours
of troubled areas December 16. The
first of the field hearings will be
at Pascagoula, Miss, December 16-
10.
The "bewilderment of the vari-
GUS groups and agencies, who are
dealing as best they can with
vital problem Of great urgency, but
who are hampered by the extra
ordinary demands of war" was re-
Elected in the four-day public hear
ings here, he said.
THE growth of juvenile delin-
quency," he continued, lis a con-
comitant of warfare and is one of
the problems bound to increase
with the uprooting of the home and
dislocation of the family, through
the drafting of fathers and the
need for women to supplement our
dwindling manpower resources.
The war is bound to have tenn
porary damaging effect on the
American home. If we do not
exert every effort to win the war
and to win it quickly, we will de-
stroy our American families en-
tirely. Yet we dare not, and must
not, abandon our efforts to pre-
serve the security of the family
unit lest we lose that for which we
are fighting"
Declaring that juvenile delin-
quency has dangerous effect" on
the war effort, Chairman Pepper
protested that youth, vital sec.
ton of our human resources, is re-
ceiving less attention than our
carefully rationed material res
sources, although our human re-
sources are every bit as vital as our
machines and engines Of warfare"

hCHA Construction
Record Here Defended
By Building Trades
Union Council Questions
Statement by Lusk on
High Cost Of Housing

The Washington Building and
Construction Trades Council, in a
statement issued today, defended
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority's record in housing construc-
ton here, and said that the neces-
sary job of clearing the slums can
not be done by private operators
alone"
The statement was in answer to
Rufus Lusk, president of the WASH
1ngton Taxpayers Association, who
last Saturday asserted that public
housing here has cost two to three
times as much as that erected by
private builders. The council said
1t questions the truth OF Mr.. Lusk' s
statement and emphatically denies
the implication that private housing
can be substituted for that which
Is built by the Housing Authority"
The new rental housing privately
built is beyond the means of low
income families" the council con-
tended. I'm contrast, the NCHA's
houses are we'll built and we'll main
tanned, and yet their rents, without
the aid of any subsidy, are much
below those of comparable private
construction.
The trades group further observed
that all the Districts slums were
built by private builders and are
owned by private owners"
THE council" the statement said,
supports the National Capital
Housing Authority because it is do
ing necessary work that private
builders have not done, because it
is providing good dwellings for peo-
pie who have not before had good
dwellings, and because it is neces-
sary to supplement what private en-
terprise can do in providing employ
ment as war construction decreases.
The statement expressed fear that
the war effort will be "disordered"
unless We prepare now to take up
the slack in employment that would
follow the defeat of Germany before
Japan.
Not only postwar planning but
postwar operations must begin now"
the statement said. The best way
of keeping men keen on their war
jobs is to assure that they will have
peace jobs when the war jobs are
finished"

President Seen Facjnt
SnarI Over Direction
OF Plant Conversion
Confusion on Authority
In Postwar Adjustment
Must Be Determined

The question, "Who is going tt
plan the reconversion of Industry
will be one Of the major problems
confronting President Roosevelt
when he returns to consider home
front affairs.
The situation has become badly
snarled in his absence, the tangle
principally involving Chairman
Donald M. Nelson of the War Pro.
duction Board and Bernard M
Baruch, the elder statesman" who
recently was named head Of the
War and Postwar Adjustment Unit
Of the Once Of War Mobilization.
The contest to determine who
shall be the actual boss OF postwar
planning for industry began before
Mr.. Roosevelt left the country, and
the belief here is that it cannot
now be settled without his inter-
vention.
Two Others Involved.
The confusion of authority also
involves two other major figures
Charles E. Wilson, WPB's executive
vice chairman, and James F. Byrnes
OWN director.
Considerable upheaval in the wal
agencies is expected If the Presi-
dental nod is aimed at Mr.. Baruch
for Mr.. Nelson has informed his
staff-reliable sources say-that he
will not remain as head Of a Sec
ond-rate agency, and that he re-
CARDS authority over reconversion
as essential to WIPES stature as q
first-rate agency.
There IS reason to believe that
Mr.. Baruch, and possibly Mr.. Byrnes,
would be content to have Mr.. Nell
son leave and Mr.. Wilson take over
WPB. Mr.. Baruch has declared
publicly that he has never advo-
Gated Mr.. Nelson as supervisor of
postwar planning and reconversion,
while Mr.. Byrnes has prevailed on
Mr.. Wilson to remain in Washing
ton until Mr.. Roosevelt returns and
decides whether the Government
can spare him.
Associates Of Mr.. Nelson say he
refuses to be put in the position
of being responsible for reconversion
if the fundamental policies are made
by some one higher up.
Baruch Denial Recalled.
The affair was strictly under cover
until fortnight ago, when Mr.
Baruch called in reporters and de-
MED he had ever stated that "WPB
under the Craftsmanship of Donald
M. Nelson" should be in charge
Of postwar planning and reconver-
sion.
That statement was the result
Of published accounts of Mr.. Ba-
ruch's address before a closed meet
ing Of steel industry executives. Per-
sons in attendance quoted him as
saying WPB should handle the &C
tual reconversion job in collabora-
ton with industry, with Mr.. Baruch
himself taking the role of adviser.
Mr.. Byrnes has authority to do
the reconversion job himself or
name any person or agency to do
it. So far he has chosen to use
his power mainly in settling dis
putes between agencies. The lines
of authority over postwar planning
therefore remain unclear.

Our Pledge
For Labor Day
By DUFFY COTTRELL,
President JAW Local 648

The United Auto Workers, the
most powerful and militant or
ganization in the world, has 81
well demonstrated that its mem
bership is truly American that our
patriotism stands before the world
as a shining example. It is true
that we have given up the right
to strike until after the war, but
it also is true that we are con-
tinuing the fight upon another
battlefield.
After this war is won, the men,
bership of the UAW may rest
assured that their leadership will
not let them down in the fight
for even higher standards of living
for organized workers, regardless
Of the weapons that may have to
be used. For the present, we r
showing the world that our love
for our country supercedes any
desire for personal gain. Labor
Day of 1943 will be dedicated to
a renewal of our pledge to do all
that we can Off the producing for
victory, but it will stand too, for
a pledge that we will never give
up the fight for additional bene-
fits for the membership.

ing man and woman, and the
ownership of our own Local Union
Hall will mean that we will then
be able to devote our entire fl
nancial resources to the fight for
Improvement of our contract. Until
after the war is won, the weapon
that we must employ to protect
ourselves is the ballot, Unless we
utilize that weapon, the fight after
the war will be that much harder
to win. There is no question that
organized labor il here to stay,
but the desire of every union
worker is to take no backward
step in the job that we are doing
for the continually upward trend
Of living standards for American
workers.

Golden Urges Timing
In Postwar Layoffs
|Af Planners Dinner d,

A warning that chaotic" condi-
tions in the American economy may
occur unless well-planned policies
of timing worker layoffs and re-
scheduling in industry are worked
out now was sounded last night by
Clinton S. Golden, vice president
of the United Steelworkers of
America.
He was one of six speakers at the
ninth anniversary dinner of the
National Planning Association, held
in the Statler Hotel and attended
by leaders in Congress, the admins
tration, industry, labor and agri-
culture.
Mr.. Golden, member of the
NPA Board of Trustees and assist
ant to CIO President Philip Muir
ray. declared that 1T was unfortu-
nate that little advance notice" has
been given labor in layoffs in re-
cent months. Such instances. he
said, underline the need for plan
ming now.
Would Cut Postwar Pace.
Declaring that peacetime produc-
ton cannot proceed at the present
war speed, the labor leader went on
record against the three-shift day
and the 48-hour week after the war.
Full employment, he said, means
economic assurance for all groups
but it can be achieved without the
current accelerated pace in indus
| try.
| Charles f. Wilson. executive vice
chairman of the War Production
Board, told the group that the time
was rapidly approaching when Ia
Dor. agriculture and industry must
begin to pay more attention to post
war planning.' Until very recently
we thought very carefully about
arousing too much thinking about
postwar planning on the grounds
it would interfere with the war ef-
fort, he said, but that period is
past.
The need for planning also was
stressed by Marion H. Hedges of the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers, who declared that
the future belongs either to the
killers or the planners" The Amer
can Republic rose out of the plan
ming technique, he said, and only
through planning can we subjugate
the machine" to human needs.
Bait Stresses Agency Aim.
William L. Bait, WPB vice chair
man and NPA board chairman
stressed that every document
which comes out of the National
/ Planning Association has been
cleared through our industry, la
Dor and agriculture committees,
and added the comment that I'VE
are trying to avoid speaking through
pressure groups"
Asserting that agriculture policy
after the war cannot be founded
on isolationism" DR. Theodore w
Schultz Of Chicago University de-
cried the fact that there was not
enough realization that Isolation
in agriculture is as untenable as
isolation in our foreign policy"
After the war the farmers will
not be confronted with the recon-
version problem, the speaker said
but they will be faced with "a dras-
| tic reconversion on the price front
Accordingly, he said a comprehen-
Sive policy on prices is needed now
