bowling alleys are not "hangouts

ing bowling interests. They are
clean places, and boys earning So
to S. a day there would be better
off than running the streets"
Representative Russell, Democrat,
of Texas said generally throughout
the South, bowling alleys are re-
garded as gathering places for the
tough element, but I have been
told that is not so in Washington. +"
Brig Gen. Albert L. Cox and A. L.
Ebersole agreed with Mr.. McKeever
while insisting wartime relief is
needed from the manpower shortage
if the alleys continue to serve night
recreation demands.
The Commissioners, school officials
and the Labor Department have OBJ
jected to the bill which would per.
nit, for the duration, employment
of boys between IA and Is years a.
pinsetters up to II pm. and boys
between is and 18 up to mignight.
The subcommittee decided to put
the issue before the full committee

Chairman Harrison E. spangler Of
the Republican National Committee
said last night that President
Roosevelt would have been de
cisively defeated" had he been run
ming in the recent State elections,
even if he had run ahead of his
ticket as far as he did in 1910.
Statistics show" the chairman
declared in a radio address, that
candidate Roosevelt ran 2z per cent
ahead of the Democratic congress
sional ticket In 1910 across the coun-
try. In l943. the elections just past,
the Republican vote showed an 8
per cent gain over 1910.
I'm other words, had Candidate
Roosevelt been running three weeks
ago, and had he shown the same
greater pulling power over other
Democratic candidates, he would
have been decisively defeated on the
basis of these percentages.
The recent gubernatorial and
other voting, Mr.. Spangler said,
showed clearly that New Deal can
didates went coat-tail riding again
and found that the coat was worn
thin and the tail had become tat
tered and bedraggled."

That question, with the insulting
implication in the middle, IS hardly
worthy OF answer"
The Home Secretary said he had
consulted the cabinet before making
the decision and declared, "This
policy was not based on the mex

essential for national security"
