changed his ideas about the war,
which were expressed in past years
when he pleaded with Congress to
increase the size of the Navy. He
had predicted, he said, that 1912
would be tough year in which we
would hit where he could"
The year 1943 should see our
strength increasing and in 1914 we
ought to be coming along with
such power as to be able to smash
the enemy" the admiral said.
1t all depends on shipping, the
admiral said. and thus the subma-
rine still remains our major prob
lem.

y
Aubrey Williams, National
Youth Administration director,
today told the Joint Congress
sional Committee on Non Essen
tial Federal Expenditures that
he understood all Government
war contracts allow industry 2
per cent for training purposes.
"If eighty or ninety billion is spent
next year for the war, 2 per cent
would be vast sum for training,
Senator Byrd. Democrat, of Vir-
einia commented. adding that he
Intended to look further into that
question.
Senator Mcclellan. Democrat, of
Tennessee declared that Mr.. Will
Hams s61 100000 appropriation for
this year would "be mere baga-
telle" compared with that per cent.
Urges Retention of NYA.
Mr.. williams appeared before the
committee to defend the continued
existence of his agency.
Standing by his belief that the
NYA training program is essential II
war industries are to be adequately
manned, Mr.. Williams told Senator
McKellar, acting chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
he would like enough money this
year to keep his training stations
going three shifts a day.
GA work training station, as
NYA uses the term. means the
equipment other than instructors
needed to teach one trainee how
to do a specific job. 1t might
consist of forge and bench, or
even single lathe)
He estimated that would require
double the SCI 100000 available this
year.
Senator Byrd pointed out $4,000 OF
the NYA stations are idle today ana
asked Mr.. Williams if he wanted to
pay trainees more in order to get
recruits.
Calls for Law Changes.
The witness said he now pays
1880 a month to trainees who live
at home and $1,000 month, plus
S21 of maintenance expense, 1or
those who live at a training center.
He figures this is about 20 cents an
hour and said he believed 1t should
be about 40 cents.

take on $4,000 more tralnees with
existing stations if three changes
are made in the law: To drop the
requirement that youth must be
unemployed: to change the age Inn
Its. and to raise the pay.
Senator Mcclellan told Mr.. Williams
he had a high regard for him per-
sonally, but felt that NYA had be-
come "a fifth wheel on the wagon
because other Government agencies
and industry itself are doing the
same thing.
Quizzed cn Hitler Method
When Mr.. Williams referred Incl
dentally to a program OF apprentice,
or indenture, training promoted by
another branch of the Government,
Senator Mcclellan said that was "a
modified form of slavery which he
thought had been abolished in the
DAYS of Andrew Johnson.
Mr.. Williams assured the Senator
"the bad features" of the apprentice
system have been taken out, and
that the Government merely de-
frays the cost of promotion.
