Naming two police char
acters, the blond bride of
slain Eddie Sarkesian, 80,
former fighter who had been
'rObbing and covering bookies
operating at the Detroit race

first important information
they have received i'm the
case.
Mrs. Sarkesian told officers that
before Sarkesian was murdered
Wednesday night he tSld her he
was going to meet one of the men
in an E. Jefferson bar and they
in turn were to meet the other
man.
He told her ne would return
home at 1890 a. m, but shortly
after IL p. m. he was shot on
Cadillac near Charlevoix.
OLD PURPLE SEIZED
Earlier, police seized an old
Purple gangster for questioning.
Under arrest is Morris Raider,
"A, known in the underworld as
protection man" for the bookies.
Sarkesians name and address
were found on a slip of paper in
Raiders wallet, detectives said.
Police are also looking for
Mike Rubino. a pal of Raiders,
for questioning.
Sarkesian was killed on orders
of gambling bigshots after he had
taken thousands of dollars from
bookies he lured from the track
and held up at the point OF a gun,
the police learned.
After a long court battle, Raider
some years ago was convicted and

many OF tne married women have
children but II Is fair to assume
fairly high proportion.
The truth is that even before the
war a lot of mothers worked. They
had to help feed their families.
After the war that number is going
to be further increased by wives Of
servicemen who have suffered in
jury or death In the battle for
democracy.
NEEDED IN PEACETTME
It's up to US 10 see that our
wartime child care programs are
continued and expanded when
peace Is reestablished.
During the war we have seen
vividly In many communities how
utterly inadequate a program is
which provides facilities only for
children Of employed mothers.
There's the story Of the small boy
in New Haven who stood with
his nose TO the window OF q child
care center and said: Gee. / wish
my mother worked"
The Federal Works Agency has
recognized the need for q gem
erai children and youth recrea-
tion program In war impact
areas. and has approved close to
100 such projects. Any child In
the community is eligible to take
part In the activities Of the rec
reatl0n centers established under
that program.
But the community must prove
an increase in employment of wom-
en- or an influx Of women into the
area in order to be eligible. Many
communities which need such cen.
ters badly. have needed them for
years. The war has just intensi.
fed the problem.
HOUSEWIVES NEED HELP
Programs for younger children
present the same problems. In
the Oyercr0wded areas I'm which
The CIO news., 1944-09-18

most Of the war nurseries have
been established the children Of
nonworking mothers need faciIi-
ties too. They have no suitable
and safe place to play while
mama does her work. And house
work In work.
In England, where the war
brought sharper care problems
than here, the government rapidly
expanded the nursery school pro-
gram to meet the need Of working
mothers. They are convinced.
through their experience, that the
program should continue and be
extended to cover all children.
The new Education Act-already
adopted by Parliament and waiting
only for victory to get underway
provides for complete system OF
nursery schools In the public
schools.
They won't be compulsory. OF
course, up to the age Of Ave, but
they will be available ~ rapidly
rs possible In every public school.
They will be open all day for
children of working mothers and
for any part Of the day she likes
to nonw0rking mothers. They
will be started first In sIum
areas, since the greatest need IL
there. incidentally, ali British
school children. will get hot
lunches. That's part OF the na-
tional health program.
OF course we can't follow the
British pattern In detail. Our ma
tional government does not run
schools. But we can start working
now in our localities and in our
states for the kind OF program and
we need for our children
and we can push for making
federal funds available to supple
ment local funds when they are
needed.
