the public prints and perhaps
we'll pared, while the papers led
their front pages with the less
dramatic but more generally
informative stories Of the full
sweep of the action written by
correspondents at headquarters,
far from the battle lines.
But you see, the individual
experiences were fragments of
the whole pattern and editors
naturally place first in impor-

I HAVE read that there are
95 American newspapers and
press associations and radio cor
respondents in North Africa and
Sicily. Another large delegation
is in England waiting for the
big invasion. We still have a
fair representation in Australia
and with our forces on the
islands of the South Pacific.
Some are in India and China
and Russia. A very few are in
Alaska and the Aleutians. No
newspaperman in his right mind
would break down the door of
his managing editors office de-
manding an assignment TO the
Aleutians. That is the toughest
spot on the globe for the cor
respondent as we'll as for the
soldier.
l notice that only a COM
paratively small number of the
correspondents following Eisen-
hover are permitted with the
troops in the field in Sicily,
probably because of the lack Of
facilities for handling such a
large number. The others re-
main behind at Allied headquar-
tiers in North Africa, which is
not a bad place for a news
paperman to be during a cam
paign, unless he is a guy who
yearns for close contact with
the fighting, as all the news
filters through headquarters.

Superintendent Warns
Family Groups Of Need
Of Peocetime Truinino

Lawson j. Cantrell, assistant
superintendent Of public schools In
charge OF junior high and vocational
schools, yesterday urged young peo-
pie not to give up education and
training because of temporary war
time jobs
He said that while there is extern
sive youth employment because Of
the war, education and training will
be more important to young men
and women after the war than ever
before.
Mr.. Cantrell spoke at Joint
meeting of the Family Welfare and
Child Welfare Divisions OF the
Council Of Social Agencies, In which
war labor problems Of children were
discussed by him and Miss Gertrude
L. Schermerhorn, regional child
labor consultant Of the Childrens S
Bureau.
Groups Consolidate.
At the meeting. held in the Young
Women's Christian Association,
Seventeenth and K streets NV,
the two divisions, which have func-
toned separately since 1922, voted
to consolidate their activities under
single chairman. The merger
needs only the approval Of the
Board OF Directors Of the Council
of Social. Agencies to be effective.
Mr.. Cantrell predicted that II the
war lasts two years longer that many
young persons, now under 18, who
would normally become lawyers
doctors and scientists, will not do 80
because Of their employment, af-
fording spending money and tenn
porary independence.
He warned against overindul-
gence in pleasures by youth, who
have ample money to spend, and of
their not taking life seriously. Such,
he said, would lead to another "jazz
age" such as followed the World
War.
Illustrating the increased num-
ber Of boys and girls of school age
accepting employment, Mr.. Cantrell
