Delinquency Down
In Larger Towns
Faulkner States

Judge Fred D. Faulkner, New
Haven, presiding Judge of the Con-
necticut Juvenile Courts, told the
Open Forum of the New Haven
Central Labor Council that the in
cident of reported juvenile delin-
quency in New Haven, Waterbury
and New London was less under
war.
He spoke on the subject of
war and Juvenile Delinquency"
In the smaller towns, Milford, for
example, the reported cases of de-
linquency among children showed
an increase last year. Judge Faulk-
ner said this may not reflect an
actual rise in wrongdOing among
children, but may mean that the
system of reporting delinquency
has been improved.
Faulkner stated that he was talking
from his "a month experience of hear
ing cases of children brought into his
court. He described juvenile delin-
quency as "any anti-social conduct or
illegal act committed by child up tc
10 years old that would be considered
crime if committed by an adult
Judge Faulkner said that, the, prob
lem greatly concerned wage earners
for 90 per cent of children that ap-
peared before him were from homes
of wage earners He praised the work
of the probation officers for much Of
the success of the court in its two
years of existence.

time.
Bernard was deeply moved by
the enormous turnout of friends
from organized labor and all Sec
tiOns of the community who called
at his home to express their SYM
pathy and to attend the funeral.
Cards of coincidence poured in
from all over the state and there
were SO many floral tributes that

OThis That
BY ROBERT B. BICKEL

RAISES In PAY which do not
bring the total rate above 40 cents
an hour, need not be submitted to
the W.L.B. for approval, the Hart
ford Office of War Information re-
minds us. The OWL. brought up
the subject for fear that some en-
plOyers who are paying sub-stand-
ard wages may be telling their
workers that the W.L.B. will not
permit such overdue pay increases.
Forty cents an hour is mighty low
wages in these times. Workers re-
ceiving this rate should join the
ALL. for effective collective bar
gaining.
THE W.P.B.'S decision to reverse
its policy of minimum production
of civilian goods seems puzzling.
While we are all for necessary
goods for the folks back home,
could it be that the W.P.B. is seek
ing public support in the struggle
with the Military group? Further,
we note that Donald Nelson is to
let organized labor in at the top of

As We See It
FORMER LABOR COMMISSION.

FORMER LABOR COMMISSION
Err Joe Tone, now with the u. S.
Department of Labor as a field
representative for the Secretary of
Labor, was in Hartford last week.
The boys on Capitol Hill remem-
bered Joe. He was greeted on all
sides like a returning hero.
JOE VISITED with delegates at
the New Haven Central Labor
Council and was asked to say a
few words. He talked about his
recent journey through American
shipyards with a delegation of visit
ing English shipbuilding trades
uniOnists. The visitors were amaz-
ed at the American mass produc-
ton methods of turning out ships !;
at the extensive use of welding i'm
shipbuilding; and at the presence
of oranges, eggs, and other plenti-
full articles of food here which are
quite scarce in Britain. One of the
Englishmen was astOunded at the
sight of woman eating a hot dog
at football game, and exclaimed,
"She ought to ave 'er 'ead ex-
amined.''
PAUL ROBESON'S voice is
worth hearing any time. But when
he sings of unions, fighting fas-
cism and freedom, he's terrific. In
Columbia Recordings Master
works set, Robson sings songs i'm
which he can and does put all his
own feelings for free men and
women. Called Songs of Free Men,
the collection includes Joe Hill, -
slightly abridged to fit the times.
For instance, the line, ''When work.
ing men are out on strike, Joe Hill
is at their side," becomes: ''Where
working men fight for their rights.
Joe Hill, etc." But the Copper
Bosses still framed Joe and the
story of union struggles is told
with power.
A BILL which would have given
the state control of labor unions
has been defeated by the Missouri
state Senate. The vote was Is to
Ia. An Outburst of oratOry by labor
batting legislators lasted an entire
day as they fought desperately to
pass the measure under a slogan
OF driving racketeers out of unions.

Pacific Strategy

WASHINGTON, March Is (INS)
President Roosevelt devoted a
major share of his war planning
TO the South Pacific theater yes
terday and received a special
message of greeting from Gen.
Macarthur.
The Chief Executive met with
the Pacific war council and later
held an hour-long conference with
T.. KenneX,=Allied air COM
.mander in the South Pacific. and
Mai. Gen. Sutherland, chief Of
staff TO Gen. Macarthur.
The contents of the message
delivered by Gen. Sutherland to
Mr.. Roosevelt on the first ami
verSary Of Gen. MacArthur's
arrival in Australia were not Iii
-vulged. But both generals later
gave reporters a cautiously opti-
miStic report on the military
situation in their theater of
warfare.

only now getting into its stride.

Arthur first grappled with the
complex problems of his SpraWling

already convinced 1t might very

and all of vital New Guinea.
Macarthur worked SOundlv and
quietly and now, a year later. the
full fruits Of his strateCical genius
can be appreciated He began with

BRILLIANT DEFENSE

MacArthur's war has not been
an offensive by any means. but it
has been a brilliant defensive play.
There IS no question but that the
Japanese have paid a heavier price
for military gains here than any
place else they have attacked or
attempted 10 attack.
On the shoulders Of Macarthur
and Ii Gen. Kenney. Allied air
force chief. rest the life of Au-
stralia and perhaps the whole
future Of the Pacific war. Those
who know Macarthur and Kenney
are certain that as new year
OF their operations commences. the
JapS are gong 10 pay even a
heavier price.
And for even less gains.
