Sen. Charges FOR L0xity

New York, March IS - (UP) 70 Charging that President Roosevelt illegally directed the spending of federal funds for subsidies, Sen. George D. Aiken, R., Vt, demanded last night that Congress and the public drop their Flax" ways and re- capture legislative power lost to the White House.
 Congress is to blame for the situa~ ton, he told the Northeastern Dairy conference, Because it's slipshod and subservient actions of the last 10 years made such circumvention of the law possible"
 "The question has been asked" ho said, "how could the executive de~ partment of the government initiate a general subsidy program ana spend hundreds of millions of dole lars in subsidy payments when there is no legislation authorizing such action and no appropriation made for the purpose.
 "The answer is that Congress has been so lax during recent years in its delegation of authority to the White House that we now have a agencies of government which are not audited by the .,eneral account~ ing office.

 As more service men come home from the war, the National Young Womens Christian Association and the other five USO agencies find increasingly they can help the boys in their adjustment to @ new life. One of the ways this can be ac- complished is through the happy, normal companionship of junior hostesses. But the role these girls play for the returned soldier de- mands sensitivity and understand ing as well as gayety. Therefore, many clubs are giving their junior hostesses special training courses where the girls learn to be neither over sympathetic nor indifferent in their attitude toward the boys, while still making them feel welcome, needed and useful.

Ban Strikes
 Bricker Says

Springfield, Mass, March l5- (UP) --Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio believes strikes should be pro- hiblted for the duration of hte war and pledges support to end the ''coddling of selfish labor leaders for the sake of votes"
 The candidate for the Republican presidential nomination told the Employers Association of Western Massachusetts here last night that "in time of war when men and women are dying to preserve free government, no group or no union should be permitted to strike"
 Labor is irreparably injured in the eyes of the public and these strikes will cause our soldiers to re- turn from the battlefrontS with a distorted opinion of the loyalty of labor in this country" Bricker said "If politics and votes had been for gotten by this administration, we never would have had the distress ing confusion which has confronted us in this field"
 A Republican victory in Novem- Der, he said, would mean 8 recap ture of the spirit of private enter prise and individual opportunity.
 Citing employment for all as the major goal of postwar America, Bricker outlined these three basic conditions for creating confidence: l. Repudiation of the philosophy of government management and the mature economy" theory that nur- tured it.
 2. The uprooting of the "insidi- ous disease" fo bureaucracy.
 3. A constructive postwar tax poll icy in America.

CARE OF CHILDREN CAUSE OF CONCERN
Family Life Disrupted By Fathers in Service,
 Mothers in Industry

Wartime problems in the care of children were discussed during the weekly Connectncut State Depart ment of Health broadcast by Mar tha L. Clifford, M. D., director, Bureau of Child Hygiene, and Hazel V. Dudley, B. s., R. N., director, Burea uof Public Health Nursing.
 Child care centers, public health nursing services and suitable rec reation facilities were advocated as the chief means of solving the prob lem of child care when care at the home in interrupted.
 Family life has been disrupted by fathers in the srevice and mothers in industry. AS a result, children have been obtaining indifferent care and insufficient or inadequate food. When both parents must be away from home they can obtain health- full care for thier children by send ing them to a child care center. Doctor Clifford advocated child care centers as good places for the day care of young children. AS a satis- factory center must meet rigid fire, health and cleanliness regulations, it can contribute much toward the health of children. By requiring diphtheria immunization for en- trance such centers have been able to limit an increase in the cases of this disease attributed to the influx of families with non-immunized children.
 Miss Dudley pointed out that the public health nurse is in a key po- sition to improve health conditions both at the center and at the homes of neglected children. The nurse ca nhelp workers at these centerS to understand the indi- vidual problems of each child in the light of One family background. When feasible, the public health nurse encourages mothers of young children to remain at home and helps them secure and use available aid to the best advantage.
 The changes in family life due to the war tend to increase health hazards and behavior problems of children.
 Every means to prevent illness, to build up the general health of chil- dren through good diet and health habits, and recreation facilities, should be provided. Community re- sources should be used and new ones developed which will be help ful in solving individual problems.

 Hartford, Conn.,, March 15-(UP) - The Employers Association of Hartford County, Inc, claimed to- day that Central Connecticut indus tries were successfully coping with their labor problems until the Fed eral Manpower Commission stepped in the artificial" controls which resulted in a most disturbing effect on employees in the factories
 Secretary Sidney E. Cornelius, in his annual report to the Associa- tion, declared that many workers quit their jobs and Frankly ad- mitted they were leaving town. It is by no stretch of the imagination that the cause of this exodus is traceable to the statements that persons leaving industrial jobs could not enter into others in this critical area without statements of availa- bility."
 Cornelius said that up to year ago industries were obtaining suf- ficient labor supply and there are many of us who are confident Of the fact that industry could have continued the necessary recruitment of labor to satisfy the production demands of the Army, Navy and other procurement offices, if it had not been subjected to interferenceS. 7"
 Right now, said Cornelius, 'it is obvious that there is manpower available, but the extent of it can not be ascertained until the arti- ficial controls of federal bureaus are removed that there is a plan to preserve the federal control seems obvious, and if that plan is permit ted to operate, there will be created one of the most powerful bureaucra-
