VIA Official Says
Agency Could Order
Rationing Of Whisky
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
The Senate Liquor Investigating
Committee late yesterday made pub
lie a statement from Grover B. Hill
assistant War Food Administrator
that the VIA has the power to
order Nationwide rationing of
whisky.
While 1t probably could not re-
ouire the release of present stocks
from Government warehouses, Mr..
Hill asserted, it could direct that
whisky available for sale be allocated
so as to result in fair and equitable
distribution" of a scarce commodity.
Some members of the Judiciary
Subcommittee long have advocated
Nationwide rationing to combat
"black markets" and increased sales
of bootleg whisky.
Without committing himself as to
the desirability of such course, Mr.
Hill submitted the letter In response
to a formal request from Committee
Counsel j. C. Sourwine.
Mr.. Sourwine put the reply in the
record following testimony from
Stewart Berkshire, deputy commits
sioner of internal revenue, ON black
market" sales of liquor.
Mr.. Hill said it would be neces-
sary for the Office of Price Admin
istration to conduct any rationing
program and that it would be in
operative in dry States and States in
which there are State monopolies.
Mr.. Berkshire testified there had
been no notable increase in the
manufacture of illicit whisky, due
principally to the fact "bootleggers
can't get the materials"
He recommended legislation CIV
ing him authority to seize whisky
other than bonded liquor from
which serial numbers have been re-
moved; authorizing his bureau to
revoke licenses of liquor wholesalers,
distillers or retailers for hrst offense
violations of regulations; requiring
all dealers to have licenses renewed
annually, and authorizing suspen-
sion of licenses for violation of OPA
ceilings and other regulations.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 24-High tribute ros
paid William Randolph Hearst achen the three
duy conrcation of the Massachusetts, department,
American Legion, drClc to q close.
Retiring state commander John L. Daley Of
Arlipgton read the foIowing statement to the
Delegates:
THE convention of the Massachusetts depart
l. ment of-the American Legion would not he
complete without a very special expression of
gratitude to William Randolph Hearst, his Boston
newspapers. and all his other newspapers and pub
locations throughout the country for unfailing
friendship to the serviceman and war veterans.
Without the long arduOus work of the Amer
lean Legion and the Hearst newspapers, it is prob
able that even now there would be no Gil Bill of
Rights for the veterans of this war, and heroic
men would still be shunted out of the armed forces
without adequate provisions for their care and re-
Mobilization.
WE ALL know that the disabled American vet
w Grams fund so effectively conducted by the BOs-
ton Evening American, Boston Daily Record and
Boston Sunday Advertiser has brought cheer and
happiness to hundreds of discharged soldiers
sailors and marines. and we can he sure that it
will be one of our most important agencies in the
years ahead.

time pupil has been placed

TO SEE FOR HIMSELF THE
VALUE OF EDUCATION and the
need for G TING AS MUCH
TRAINING AS POSSIBLE FOR
THE JOBS AHEAD.
"The types of firms and Jobs in
Which the pupils are placed con-
tribute to this picture, since no Jobs
are taken tOhere there is not a good
chance for promotion and perna-
nency after the high school course
has been completed"
THE New York experience thus
L clearly demonstrates two things
of great Importance
First, that the eco operative"
plan of education CREATES OR
STIMULATES A DESIRE FOR
EDUCATION IN THE AVERAGE
BOY OR GIRL; and
Second, that the graduates of "co-
operative education" schools are
spared the ordeals of Job hunting
and hard apprenticeship which have
been defective aftermath of educa-
ton in the past
In part, of course, the success Of
eco operative education" in New
York is due to its immediate eco
nomic phase.
The pupil, und er the plan,
EARNS while he LEARNS.
Miss Brennan reports that the
boys and girls under her direction
earned a total of S625,6O8 during the
last school year; and they themselves
enjoyed some of the benefit of war
time wages, as their combined earn
ings were nearly 100000 more than
for the preceding year.
No doubt, they could have earned
still mere by quitting quitting school and get
ting full time jobs,
In so doing, however, they would
have forfeited their opportunities for
education.
THANKS TO "Co OPERA
TIVE EDUCATION" THESE
NEW YORK BOYS AND GIRLS
DID NOT MAKE THAT DEPLOR.
ABLE SACRIFICE.
New York City has shown, under
the most difficult circumstances, that
cooperative education" is the most
practicable form of education for the
high schools of America.
Every school board in the country
which does not now provide "co-
operative education should obtain
Miss Brennan's report and put its
principles into local use. ---

Am Educational Triumph

IN A REPORT just issued for the
L school authorities of New York
City, Miss Grace Brennan has made
an invaluable statement of the bene-
fits Of eco operative education. "
The eco operative" plan is that
under which a student may alternate
his or her time between the class
room and an employers shop, thus
obtaining experience in a calling
while also receiving the advantages
of formal instruction.
For number of years the high
school division of New York City
has had we'll developed system of
"co operative education" and Miss
Brennan is the highly competent as
sistant administrative director in
charge Of this activity.
AS in all fields of pedagogy, the
eco operative education schools Of
New York have had to meet the
stresses Of war.
In the colleges and universities,
student bodies and faculties have
been depleted by the enrolment of
millions of our youths and specialists
in the armed services
IN THE secondary schools, which
Il are little affected by the draft
laws, the enormous demands of the
war industries, Offering a multitude
of well paid jobs in period of man
power shortages, have tended to
draw adolescents away from school,
Surprisingly, therefore, Miss
Brennan reports that cooperative
education" operates TO KEEP
YOUNG FOLK IN SCHOOL, even
though the high school registers as
a whole show heavy declines.
In fact, GO operative education "
in New York City actually shows A
CURRENT INCREASE in school
attendance
In June, l943, there were 2,042
pupils registered in co operative
education, "
At the close of the June term in
1914 the registration was 2,051.
"Two reasons" Miss Brennan re
potts, may be advanced for the
holding pouOer of this course, the first
being an agreement on the part OF
all employers of cooperative pupils
that any pupil IeaUine school prior
to graduation tOiL not be employed
by thot organization.
While this does not guarantee
their staying TO graduate II hos
proucn a great deterrent to their
ieoUing school
The second reason is that BY the
