SEA Is discovered, and as is the
case with most discoveries, results
in confusion. Growth is so rapid
that they are somewhat ridicu-
lous. Visions and ambitions asS;,il
them - their reading, if they do
any, becomes adult. They are
moody, shy, sulky. loud, or OBJ
streperous. as the case may be.
Symptoms Magnilicd
In wartime all these normal
symptoms of adolescence are mag
.itied and distorted. More than
ever adolescents need parental
control. And that is just what is
now too often lacking. A school
physician is quoted rs saving that
the employment Of mothers as
well us fathers in wartime indus
try is having most profound and
unqualified bud Influence ON ado
lescents. There should he no cues
tion about the draft Lcicrmcnt of
fathers nor for the refusal to ac-
cept mothers in industry unless
proper provision is made for the
care of adolcscents as well as in
fants and children.
The increase in the nervous
manifestations and personality
disorders of adolescence is, to say
the very least, disturbing.
Night terrorS is one of these.
1t is possible that physical causes
may operate in some of these
cases - partial asrhyxia due to
adcnoids, for instance. But most
of them are conditioned by the cx-
pcricnces of waking life.

Four Ships Grounded
BY New Jersey Storm;
One Breaking Up
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BELMAR, N. j., Oct. 27-Four
| United Nations merchant vessels ran
aground on the Northern New Jersey
coast last night and early today in
one of the worst storms of recent
years.
One of the ships was breaking up.
the 3D. Naval District said, but the
others were believed in no danger.
Coast guardsmen started removing
the crew of about 10 men aboard the
7,9l6-ton James Longstreet, which
piled up on Sandy Hook, just outside
New York Harbor, and started to
break up today.
Two other vessels also struck on
the sand bars near Sandy Hook. the
site of Fort Hancock, while the
fourth was beached at this resort.
Several other ships grounded in
side New York Harbor, the Sd Naval
District said, but all these accidents
were minor.
Moderation of tremedous seas and
shift in the wind apparently saved
three of the ships beached outside
the harbor, all within 20 miles of
each other.
Coast Guardsmen had started re-
moving the crew Of the F. ]. Luck
enbach, 7,821-ton freighter which
struck at Belmar, but stopped after
six of the men had been taken
ashore by breeches buoy. An esti-

The Exilona, 4,971 tons, was also
believed safe at Sandy Hook, while
the Fort Douglas, 7,100 tons, freed
itself from the sand in the same
area.

blankets on packing boxes and
threw some canvas over him to keep
off the rain. He waved his hand
feebly when I saw him being taken
off a hospital ship in a litter "a
hours later.
Car Hub-Deep in Puddles.
Twilight came on. The rain had
grown worse. We came down out of
the high hills into flooded, forested
land. Often We were hub-deep in
water. We were only about 10 miles
from that evacuation port at 10
O'Clock. Then the lead truck, on
which 1t. Brinkley was passenger,
went off the road and tipped over
into a flooded field. The way was
blocked completely.
For three hours everybody, soaked
to the skin, worked to clear the road.
The italian soldiers and officers
swore and argued loudly. They also
worked like Trojans.
1t. Brinkley and I worked with
the others. Then the lieutenant
seemed 10 remember the document
with the Kings seal on it in my
pocket. He commandeered a small
car and took us into the embarka-
ton port, We passed over blown
out bridges. We waded through
roaring torrents. For couple of
miles we passed through a corridor
of white cliffs The rain got worse
and worse. We lost our way.
The whole adventure ended, quite
appropriately perhaps, up in Marie's

Congress Informed
OF Heavy Loss Of
Government Food
BY The Associated Press.

Government food losses run
ming into hundreds of thousands
OF pounds-including huge guam
titles Of canned meat and fish
vegetables and milk-have been
reported quietly to Congress by
the Commodity Credit Corp.
The figures were turned over tc
the House Banking Committee by
j. B. Hutson, CCC chief, at the re-
quest of Representative Crawford
Republican, of Michigan, who sought
the information in connection with
bill to extend the Gees life.
The losses were attributed to such
causes as rusty cans, flood damage
weevils and contamination.
Loss Estimate S641,426.
Mr.. Hutson explained that the re-
port covered the conduct of food
procurement programs for some So
odd claimant agencies, including
lease-lend" by the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corp. for the period
March, l94l, to September 80, l943.
In dollars and cents, he figured
the definitely established losses at
s64l ,426 on purchases amounting to
s3,l93,438,3l1. On top of that sum
was an additional $l77.379 listed as
marine losses and "chargeable to
llease-lend"
Included in the list OF commodi-
ties purchased for lease LEND was
lone item for 159,700 pounds of
canned meat. 1t was recorded as
mot suitable for export, should be
sold for domestic consumption. "
There was no additional explana-
|tion.
Mr.. HutSon declared that "the
losses as determined herein amount
to two one-hundredths of per cent
OF total purchases. This is the
equivalent to the loss of 81 on every
$4,000 of purchases.
Mr.. Crawford contended, however,
that the figures "are not only en-
Tightening, but evidence of the enor-
nous losses in actual pounds of food
which often occur when Govern
ment participates in such program
Some Losses Unnecessary"
He said that while the aggregate
loss may appear extremely small
in comparison with the billions of
dollars of transactions, = = - the fact
remains that with our people being
ratloned as to the type and uuanti-
ties of food they may purchase. it
is necessary = that all such losses
be held to the minimum"
1T is reasonable to say" he added,
that the exhibits which have been
presented by the Commodity Credit
Corp. show that some unnecessary
losses have occurred"
Included in the losses listed as
recoverable were more than
100000 pounds Of dried pinto beans,
1885 pounds of preserved straw
berries, 76,064 pounds of canned
peaches, 42,9OO pounds of garlic, 13s,-
750 pounds of fresh onions and SO ,8O4
pounds of canned tomatoes

Wender Urges DC. 10 Seek
Delegate in CONGRESS

Declaring that the citizens of
Warrington should have some kind
of representation in Congress, Har-
ry S. Wender, president of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.
last night told the Takoma Park
Citizens Association that a start
should be made by seeking a dele
gate IN Congress to speak for the
people Of the National Capital. Mr..
Wender said there is opposition in
both the Senate and House to ma
tional representation and said he
had been advised that the Summers
Capper bill would fail to pass. If
the District had a delegate similar
to those representing Hawaii, Alaska
and Puerto Rico there would be
some one to speak for the citizens
and many of the problems could be
printed in the Congressional Rec
ord. In this way, he said, citizens of
the country could be informed of
the plight of the local residents.
