Thanks for your letter and the
information it contained, Clarence.
We are also pleased to learn that
you are moving forward in your
particular line of work, and hope
that you will finish up your boot
course with colors flying soon. In
view of the fact that you were in
the employ of the State Highway
Department when you were in CIV
ilian life back home, it is only rea-
sonable to believe that you are rea-
sonably familiar with the routine
of the class of machines that you
are now called upon to handle. This
should make the course quite a bit
easier, even though you may still
have plenty to learn. Well, there
is nothing wrong about that either,
since we are all learning some
thing most every day of our lives

that has taken place in their new
methods of living. And not a one
of them will look back upon the
boot camp" days with regret, once
they have passed the test. If you
will just stop to consider the stiff
program that now faces you, you
will realize more than ever before
why the u. S. Navy is the greatest
force of its kind that this world has
ever known. The type of training,
plus all those qualities that goes to
make up American youth, gives
them this edge. All you have to
do to prove this is to pick up to-
morrow's, or yesterdays newspap-
er. Read what it has to say about
our Salty crews, whether they be
on the sea, in the air,or of landing
on some foreign shore. The u. S.
Navy carries the punch that spells
victory. Sure, son! The going is
always hard at first, but once that
initial stage is over, you'll find it a
heap different. You have all that
it takes to make the grade no mat
ter how steep. It's up to you to
show the class up there in Ithica
just how good our Delaware boys
|are. Put on the steam! We're all
betting on you. John Paul Jones
never had the chance that you are
having right now to come off with
colors flying, and look what he did,
That's the spirit that makes up
America. Come on sailor, shoot
the works.

I saw printed in your column a
copy of a V-Mail letter that 1 had
written to mother and the folks.
I am very grateful to you for
publishing my letter and want to
thank you for the nice reply you

much a friendly letter, or small
package can mean to him until he
gets overseas.
When I was still back in the
Good Old States" I only glanced
through The Smyrna Times when

tie article in it and enjoy to the
fullest that good old hometown
newspaper.

to keep up the morale at home, be-
cause through your column, you
make everyone in the Service feel
that they have something very
wonderful back at home to fight
for.
I want to thank you again for
the nice reply to my letter, and
keep up the good work.

R. In. Y. Boundary Deal
Is Put Up 10 Congress

The Senators from Rhode Island,
the smallest State, asked congress
slonal consent today for establish
ment of the long-debated boundary
between their State and New York
in the waters of the Atlantic.
Senator Green offered resolu-
ton for himself and Senator Gerry,
his Democratic colleague, with a
remark, in mock solemnity, that it
was refreshing in these days, when
boundary disputes created the spark
for worldwide conflict, to find such
an important question settled amic-
ably between two sovereign States.
The agreement, signed by officials
of New York and the state of
Rhode Island and Providence plan
tations,' fixes the points along the
shore and out to sea which consti-
tutes holdings of the respective
States.
The line, Senator Green said, falls
between Long Island and BLOCH
Island. If Congress approves, thi!
question will be settled once and fol
all, and Rhode Islanders who be
lieve Long Island really ought tt
be part of Roger Williams colon,
will be silenced.
1t also may stife any sentiment
on the part of New Workers in
clined to revive a move in the ear,
liest Colonial period for extending
the New York living sphere" t
include Narragansett Bay. Thi
would have meant the liquidation
Of Connecticut, historians say.

Fleming Urges Plan
To Provide Work for
100000 After War
FWA Chief Estimates
$4,000, 000, 900 Outlay
Will Be Needed YEARLY
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 11.-Maj. Gen.
Philip B. Fleming, administrator of
the Federal Works Agency, esti-
mated today national unemploy-
ment soon after the war at 100000
after anticipated peacetime re-em-
ployment, but said that construc-
ton projects costing the Nation
15,000,OOOO0O annually could alb
sorb the jobless until the economy
had been readjusted to peace.
Gen Fleming, in an address before
the Sales Executive Club, declared
that the cost of such program
would be less than the war is cost
ing lin this one month of May, 1943,"
and that by it I'VE could under
write full employment for years to
come and assure to ourselves and
our children happier, more COM
Portable and better living"
Is Million Postwar Jobless.
The Federal Works administrator
quoted figures he said were pre-
pared by well known Washington
economist predicting that imme-
dlately after the war there would
be approximately $4,000 900 without
jobs, including men discharged from
the armed forces. He said that with
anticipated absorptions, the 100000
jobless would remain.
He said that public and private
construction of needed improve
ments, including housing, highways,
airfelds, hospital, schools and flood
control, would provide the imme-
date solution.
Fifteen billion doesn't seem too
large figure to aim at" he said.
1T is little more than the annual
construction bill has come to in our
most prosperous years"
Gen, Fleming warned, however,
that the groundwork, planning and
acquisition of land should start i'm
mediately. so that e-employment
could start as soon as the armistice
was signed.
Urges National Program.
IF We haven't a program pre-
pared then we will prob
ably go through the old cycle of
CWA and WPA. with hastily impro-
vised projects of little social value
on which people can be employed
at bare subsistence wages" he add
ed. That isn't going to add up to
prosperity for anybody.
The program, he said. should be
national in scope. so that it can be
integrated into local, regional and
national needs and be capable of
management in such way as to
complement the reconstruction ef-
forts of private business"

work or as a permit to work, and no
charge shall ever be made, nor shall
any fee ever be collected, for the
privilege to work in this State"

All unions it continues. their
members, officers or agents shall
collect all fees in good faith. and no
union shall elect a person to men,
