Army Hijacking g
Gang Gets Rich
Soldiers Steal Supplies and
Dispose Of Them on the
French Black Market.

PARIS.-Some insight into the
cigarette and gasoline shortage back
home may be found in the charge
made by American officials that
trainloads of cigarettes and thou
sands of gallons of gasoline have
been stolen by American soldiers
and disposed of on the French
black market.
Several American officers have
enriched themselves on the pro-
ceeds of stolen post exchange sup
plies hijacked by the truckload and
sold at fantastic prices.
Col. E. G. Buhrmaster, provost
marshal of the Seine base sector,
said that a major forwarded to his
home $4,000 made in this manner.
He also told of corporal who was
reported to have sent home $1,000
gained in five days, and $4,000 each
was sent by two enlisted men.
Steal All But Bullets.
Everything but bullets and tanks
have been stolen, said Col. Buhr-
master. These were passed up be-
cause there is no black market for
them.
Awaiting courtmartial in one de-
tention barracks in Paris are 1903
Americans, most of whom are
charged with misappropriation of
government property. 181 enlisted
men and three officers are held in
another detention camp charged
with selling trainload of cigarettes,
soap, and other supplies. They be- |
longed to two battalions that oper-
ated a railroad.
Colonel Buhrmaster said that this |
group sent over 100000 in post Of
fee money orders and cashier
checks back home. every one of
them had between $4,000 and $4,000
On them when I picked them up"
"This place is getting really bad,"
said. They hijack
trucks right off the road. They drive
a car between the last couple of
rucks in a convoy, stick a gun in
he drivers belly and tell him to
yamoose.
''Then they sell the truck for $780,
100 francs, which at the American
ate of two cents to the franc
to $4,000. Our evaluation of
he franc is the basis of the black
market"
Two Sentenced for Life.
The French government has prom
sed to tighten its attitude toward
he French black market agents in
olved. Because they were unable to
isclose the source of their gaso-
me, 5000 cars have been taken
rom civilians.
For selling government prop |
rty to black market agents, two q
.merican enlisted men have been
entenced to life Imprisonment by z
general court. Implicated in the
anne offense, a French civilian
as fined 1900 francs. This was
allied to the attention of the French
overnment by American officials
nd in future all civilians charged a
ith similar offense will be tried 1
Y a French military tribunal. F

serve and perpetuate essential and
basic powers IN THE PEOPLE
THEMSELVES.
Any revision of the process of
treaty ratification, in the direction
of increasing the treaty making pow
ers of the President and decreasing
the powers of Congress, would un-
questionably conflict with our ma
tional experience and refute the
wisdom of the founders of our system
of popular government.
MIR. ROLAND RIGGS, an out
w standing authority on American
and international law, recently
stressed these facts in speech be-
fore the Commonwealth Club in San
Francisco.
Weakening of the treaty ratifi
cation powers of Congress, he said,
"uould completely DESTROY the
entire framework of the Constitution
on Which we haUe built this country,
giUe the federal government dicta-
torial potUers, doing auOay rOith all
state rights"
To abolish the historic two thirds
rule for treaty ratification, he
warned, "tUould enormously increase
the Presidents poper oUer formulate
ing legislation and putting it into
force If zoe ren,oUe the tUo-
thirds rule, the last restriction on
federal invasion of the RIGHTS OF
THE INDIVIDUAL rUiH be gone"
The democratic remedy for presi-
Dental Illustration in treaty making,
concluded Mr.. Riggs, is not in giving
the President MORE power, but in
having the President recognize the
constitutional provision by which the
treaty power is shared by the
Senate" and in persuading the
President "to have the views of the
Senate expressed to the executive
and to a certain extent observed by
him"
The American people, as Mr..
Riggs suggests, should indeed be
gravely concerned about this danger
Gus proposal and before they consent
to a change in our historic policy
KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
DOING.

MR.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH
HEARST,
HEARST NEWSPAPERS,
WYNTOON, McCLOUD. CAL.
DEAR MR.. HEARST:
7 HAVE been reading with a
i great deal of interest and
appreciation the editorials in
the San Francisco Examiner
anent the unjust treatment ac-
corded postal employees in re-
gard to their so far unavailing
efforts to secure a modest in
crease in their basic salary.
AS national state vice presi-
dent of the National Associa-
ton of Letter Carriers, and
president of our local branch of
Oakland, permit me TO offer, in
behalf of the letter carriers Of
California, whom 1 represent,
my sincere thanks for the
splendid editorials in our be-
half.
We realize that without the
aid of a friendly press we are
powerless to secure any bene-
fetal legislation, and the Hearst
newspapers, including our own
Oakland Post Enquirer, have
come to our assistance time and
again. We are very grateful
and when the new Congress
convenes we hope they will not
wait until the last few days of
their session to bring out very
modest request for salary in
crease to the floor for a vote.
The system under which Con-
gress operates and which al
lows one objective voice to pre-
vent a vote on such a vital
matter is to our minds one OF
the most unfair things ever per-
petrated upon a group of loyal
and efficient workers.
There Is no doubt in the
minds of most Of our group that
II this legislation had been al
lowed 10 come up for a vote il
would have resulted in an over
whelming yes.
Again thanking YOU and the

DISING in a dangerous flood tide
IL out of the storm of war is the
dark menace of juvenile delinquency.
It's effects upon our boys and girls
will outlast the present conflict and
leave dangerous residue of postwar
behavior problems for citizens to
face.
The causes Of the sharp rise in
delinquency are well known, but
remedies or preventives are not easy
to find or apply.
1t has, however, been amply DEM
onstrated that providing opportu-
mites for wholesome worthwhile
recreational activities does have the
effect of diverting youth from
vicious associations which lead to
delinquency and crime.
Recreation is a preventive.
The important thing is to Or
ganize, promote, and finance the
kind of recreation which will be the
most effective kind of delinquency
preventive.
The immediate establishment of
youth centers" would be the most
practical step which could be taken
to stem the tide Of increasing de-
linquency among youth.
THE youth center, is, in common
l. parlance, "hangout" for youth.
1t is not a school nor a playground
nor social settlement, although it
includes some of the features which
characterize such institutions. 1t is
essentially social club for youth of
teen age.
The youth center would be a
building of pleasing architecture in
side and out. 1t would contain an
attractive lobby, a social hall large
enough for entertainments, dramat-
les, music, dances, and other social
events, a game room for ping-pong
and other active table games, a
library and study room, refresh
ment counter, several small parlors
for parties of small groups, and
related administrative offices and
facilities.
To begin with, youth centers
should be located only in such neigh
borhoods as now present a serious
problem of youth delinquency.
Preferably the youth center
should be located adjacent to large
existing public playground or high
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1945-01-12

school, so that these existing facilities
may be widely used in the program
generated from the youth center
itself.
The youth center and its activities
would be largely under the control
and direction of youths themselves.
They should be organized dem
ocratically with a board of directors,
and with customary activity commit
tees, including house committee, to
govern the center.
The youth center should not be
without skilled adult guidance and
direction. This of necessity, must be
largely behind the scenes but respon-
sible for the financing and ultimate
control Of the center.
YOUTH have demonstrated a de-
l. sire and an ability to govern and
direct their own activities, but such
self-direction must depend upon
community financing of the neces-
sary facilities for constructive
program of youth activities.
Adult guidance is, of course,
absolutely necessary, but it must be
skilled guidance and adroitly and
unobtrusively rendered.
The idea of youth centers is not
new.
It's essential features have ap-
peared in settlements, YMCAs, boys
clubs and other agencies. There are,
here and there, effective youth CEN
tiers in operation, but nowhere in
sufficient number adequately to
prevent delinquency.
The only way to provide enough
centers is to do so through the means
of public taxation. However, private
agencies would take part in the
scheme for they would have freedom
of use of the facilities.
A youth center in a large city
should not cost more than $4,000.
Thirty would cost only 81, 100000.
The operation of each should not
exceed $4,000 per year.
These sums are small in cOmpari-
son with the huge outlay Of public
funds required to handle juvenile de-
linquents and youthful law breakers.
If we are determined to reduce
youth delinquency, we should be
willing to spend some money in a
practical attack upon the problem,
and to an extent sufficiently large
to constitute a real effort.

n Dangerous Proposal

THE American public has become
Il aware land should b e m e
gravely concerned about it,, of a
persistent and growing clamor in
certain government circles for re-
vision of the traditional processes by,
which treaties between the United
States and foreign nations may be
made and ratified.
As the most casual student of
American government knows, the
historic process of treaty making
from which the United States has
never yet deviated-a although there
have been certain instances having
the color of evasion-is for the Presi-
dent to initiate and conduct negotia-
tons for treaty and submit it to the
Senate for ratification by a two
thirds majority of that body.
This has always been form of
restraint upon the President, and
often an instrument of Illustration.
The most notable instance of this
kind was the failure of the Treaty
of Versailles after the first World
War to achieve ratification in the
Senate, although President Wilson
strongly urged and very much de
sired it.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is APP
l. parently anticipating similar
experience after this war, and is cast
ing about for means of avoiding it.
The method of avoidance would
be to reduce the Senate requirement
for ratification to a simple majority,
or perhaps to broaden the process of
ratification to include both Houses of
Congress-but requiring only simple
majorities in each House.
The intention is perfectly plain.
1t is to increase the probability
of ratification for any treaty the
President may negotiate, and thus
INCREASE HIS POWERS.
That, of course, is the very thing
the historic process of treaty ratif-
cation was designed to PREVENT.
Throughout our national expert
ence, it has been considered the very
essence of American democracy to
limit rather than expand presiden-
tial powers, and particularly to pre-
