The work of these volunteer com

past year. Thousands of men have
been given their old job back
through this work, many thousands
have been placed in the hands of
the veterans division of the United
States Employment Service for new
jobs, referred to the Red Cross for
personal assistance or referred to
the Veterans Administrator for adj
publication of claims for pensions,
vocational training, hospitaliza-
ton and other benefits to which
they are entitled under the Public
Laws.
The service officers of veterans
organizations have been very help
full to these returning veterans and
selective service has noted the I'M

the state service commission in
working with these veterans.
Because of the anticipated in

is a great deal of public dis
cussion of postwar problems and how
to meet them.
Federal state and local govern
ments are formulating elaborate and
costly plans for demobilizing war
industries and the armed services
and preventing depression and unem-
ployment after the war.
But no postwar problem can be
more serious, or more disastrous in
its lasting effects upon future citizen
ship, than this Uery problem of juUe-
nile delinquency.
That problem is with us now.
The time to combat it is now, not
when the war is over and the problem
may become unmanageable.
The way to PREVENT postwar
increase in juvenile delinquency is
by acting now.
This should be the immediate con-
Germ of every official, every welfare
organization, every youth organiza
ton, every social service, every
church, every school-AND EVERY
PARENT.
The double tragedy of crime
ridden nation and millions of
blighted lives must be averted.

A UTHoRITIES have been greatly
n and properly disturbed by the
wartime increase in juvenile delin
queney.
There should be no questioning of
the facts.
As one of its manifold duties, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation COM
piles each year a summary of the
number and types of crimes through
out the country.
On the basis of this indisputabie
information, Mr.. J. Edgar HooUer,
director of the bureau, reported re-
Gently in public address that there
had been a shocking rise in the preU-
alence of youthful offenders of both
sexes.
These federal data, of course,
present only a part of the picture,
albeit the darkest part, since they
represent only offenses against the
law grave enough to become police
records.
It need hardly be said that, under
such conditions, there has inevitably
been an equal or greater increase in
minor transgressions, below the po
lice crime level, ranging from idle
truancy to youthful intemperance
and immortality.
Certainly the warnings have been
ample enough to have actuated ample
corrective and preventive measures.
But it is evident that this has not
been the case.

Police Chiefs received a report on
the situation at it's recent annual
conference in Cleveland.

Justice for Our
Forgotten Heroes
BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

r EFT us not forget the men Of the American
II Merchant Marine
Thousands of these men have served their
country gloriously.
Thousands have gone down to watery graves
in the line of duty.
Our merchant marine in this war has been
the very backbone of our fighters in Europe and
the Pacific.
The men who have manned these boats should
have CT BILL Of Rights"
Vice Adm. Emory S. Land, war shipping ad-
ministrator, and Rep. S. O. Bland, chairman of
the House merchant marine and fisheries COM
mittee, have announced that legislation is about
to be introduced in Congress to the end of placing
our merchant seamen on level with our soldiers
and marines in the matter of government benefits.
In recognition Of their war service they are
to receive disqualification, medical care, postwar
educational facilities, employment readjustment
allowances, disability payments and burial honors.
ON THIS last point most Americans will be
~ startled to know that seamen who man our
merchant vessels in this war are ineligible to the
use of the American flag at burial, yet many have
died for that flag.
Almost $4,000 boys between the ages Of 16
and Is have entered this highly hazardous service
since April l, 1914
Adm. Land says on this subject:
ut is thus seen that thousands of these young
men have interrupted their normal Quotations TO
enter the merchant marine and it is felt that
adequate provision for their education should
therefore be made"
Adm. Land further recommends that:
Because seamen are not eligible for muster
ing-Out-pay, it was suggested that during periods
of involuntary unemployment which may occur
during the period of readjustment system of
unemployment benefits should be adjusted to any
state or national unemployment benefits which
may hereafter accrue to merchant seamen II
This is matter of simple justice to men who
are second to none in bravery.
After this war our merchant marine will re-
quire building up.
That is a legitimate function Of government.
For that purpose jobs must be made inviting
for this hard and uncertain calling
THE men who carry our cargoes to the four
corners of the earth in war and peace are as
much wards of Uncle Sam as the men who carry
guns or who pilot fighting planes.
The seamen's CT "Bil of Rights should be
submitted to Congress Immediately.
President Roosevelt has already called the
attention of Congress to its neglect of our mer-
chant seamen when he signed the "GI Joe Bill
of Rights"
So there is no question about his signing
Land-Bland measure.
In the defense and service Of the United
States all should be on an equal footing.
1t is high time that our merchant seamen par
ticipated in governmental benefits extended to
other branches of the fighting service

\ day that said they were auc-
tioning off the furnishings OF the
old United States Hotel in Sara
toga Springs under tax seizure
by the city, and ! am wondering
if said furnishings are deemed
TO include the rope fire escapes
in the rooms.
The United States was built
119 years ago and either the
architect forgot about putting
regular fire escapes on the build
ing or they were unknown in
those days. In any event, every
room was equipped with a rope
attached to a wall hook. the
length of the rope being gagged
according 10 the floor on which
the room was located. Each
rope was supposed TO reach
from the room to within a short
drop 10 the ground.
When l think of these ropes l
always think of a friend of mine
by the name of frankie Buzz
saw. He was a horse player and
one season at Saratoga he found
himself in over his head with
