Of Farm Labor Again

Despite the fact that more than
1000 jamaican and Bahamian
workers will be brought into Mary

crops. the farm labor supply win
be inadequate, according to Paul
E. Nystrom of the University of
Maryland extension service.
Twenty-six farm labor camps will

ice, the War Department and the
War Food Administration. The
camps will house boys and girls
from cities, part-time workers, mi
grants from Southern States, pris-
oners Of war and the imported

workers will arrive next Tuesday
to harvest spinach and other early
crops in Baltimore County and on
the Eastern Shore.

Petition 10 Appoint
Alexandra Juvenile
Judge Is Circulated
PTA CircuIotes Petition
To Legislators for
Change in City Charter

The plan authorizing the Alex.
andria City Council to appoint the
judge of the Juvenile and Domestic
Relations Court is gathering sup
port. s
The Juvenile Protection Commit
tee of the city's PARENT Teacher
Council now is circulating petition
directed at State Senator Andrew
w. Clarke and Delegate w. Seldor
Washington asking amendment oi
the city charter to that end The
judgeship at present is an elective
Office.
1t is also rumored that Council
man John Logan will ask the coun-
Gil Tuesday night to reverse its &C
ton of last year in which it favored
appointment of juvenile judge II
the courts are separated from the
Civil and Police Court.
Unable to Agree.
During the 1914 Legislature, MIR.
Washington sponsored bill to pro-
vide for separation of the courts and
appointment of the judge on the
recommendation of the Council.
When the bill reached the State Sem
ate, Mr.. Clarke added an amend
ment to make the Office elective and
the bill was killed when the two
bodies failed to agree.
At the request of the Parent
Teacher group and other interested
organizations, Mayor William T.
wilkins last week telegraphed Mr..
Clarke and Mr.. Washington asking
them to take steps to have the city
amended during the special
session of the Legislature, but no
action was taken.
The Parent Teacher group is
hopeful that legislation to provide
for the separation of the courts can
be enacted at the next special ses-
sion.
Mrs. Jameson Holway, chairman
of the PTA committee, said her
group favors an appointed judge,
because they felt it might be neces-
sary to go outside the city to find
a qualified person with experience in
juvenile case work.
Favors Separation.
She pointed out that the City
Council appointed the recreation di-
rector and the health officer and
found it necessary to go outside of
the city to find qualified candidates.
Judge James r. Duncan, present
judge of the CiH and Police as well
as the Juvenile and Domestic Rela-
tions Court, has stated that he
favors the separation, but has not
indicated publicly whether he favors
or election of the juve-
nile judge.
His term of Office as judge of the
combined courts expires at the end
of the year. The Democratic
primaries in August may determine
the man who will be elected in
November.

Rail Detectives Heek/e Newsmen Seeking
Story of Crowded Troop Train Conditions

At times II Is necessary to
hold troop trains while regular
trains get right of way. That is
because the equipment shortage
makes it impossible to substi-
tute when trains arrive too late
TO make scheduled turn-arounds,
and so many essential travellers
use regular trains that the sched-
ules must not be permitted to
break down. This reasoning does
not appear to explain the long
layover of which ! wrote in a
previous article.
The veterans resent. In a mild
way, the old uncomfortable
coaches with inadequate toll
wash room facilities that appear
to be featured in troop trains.
Explanations offered for this do
not seem to cover more than
part OF the situation.
The incest modern coaches can
not be used because they are
built for stream-lined. articu-
lated trains, and railroad men
say that they can not be oper-
ated in conjunction with the
Older types. Some better coaches
are not suitable because their
dimensions forbid their use on
some roads. and for the troop
train pool coaches must be cap
able of going anywhere. Some
of the men still feel that they
get less than their share of bet
ter coaches that are in every
way suitable for troop train use.
In general the soldiers with
whom I have talked, and to
whose conversations / have lis
tened. coi.cede that the railroads
are up against tough problem,
and that there may be valid ex-
plantations in answer to many
criticisms. But attempts Of Penn
sylvania employees to prevent
news and picture reporting of
actual conditions under which
troops ride brought the reaction
anybody familiar with public
relations might expect
do they think asked one
CT, that they can keep such
things secret? II they were smart
they would cooperate in explain
ing, instead OF talking about
smashing cameras and breaking
plates"

Both the Army and the rail-
roads would like to provide a
bed for each service man trav-
cling at night. But that is inn
possible, even after stripping
scheduled trains to the bones.
Right now the armed forces
have exclusive use Of ISL, 900 of
the train beds, counting both
Pullman-owned and troop sleep
ers. In these they assign two
men TO each lower and one to
each upper. to get maximum use.
Nevertheless, the available beds
have been found sufficient only
for servicemen who must travel
two or more nights. Orders have
been issued that sleeping cars
shall be assigned to men on one

sleepers nearby that otherwise
would be dead head empty In

There are $1,000 beds still left

given night II will be found
that from so to 80 per cent of
these are used by military per-
sonnel or by civilians travelling
on military business, whose res
ervations have been made by a
special government agency for

CHICAGO - The Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad - or, in any event.
some of its personnel - seemed
greatly disturbed at having re-
porter and photographer re-
cord the conditions under which
some 500 officers and enlisted
men rode from Camp kilmer.
n. j.. to personnel centers in
the Middle West.
Railroad detectives and train
personnel went out of their
way TO heckle NEA-Acme pho
tographer Mike Ackerman and
me all the way from Harrisburg
10 Chicago. One detective, at
Harrisburg, went so far as to
threaten 10 break cameras and
smash plates (plates haven't
been used by newsmen for
years. and ordered that no pic
lures be taken - an order that
was rejected and ignored.
THREATS FAIL
Army Public Relations Office
at Camp Kilmer had not only
accredited us, but had gone out
Of their way TO introduce us to
transportation officers and to
clear the way for our coverage
OF the troop train story. But
neither our explanation or our
credentials satisfied the railroad
detective who boarded the train
at Harrisburg.
Two MPs had come aboard
with the railroader, evidently to
witness his warning that We
we're not 10 take pictures until
we reached Rockford, Ill. Acker-
man, veteran cameraman who
served as a war photographer
overseas, simply replied that he
would continue to work unless
Army PRO withdrew its initial
authorization.
The detective failed to make
good his threat either to smash
the camera or throw us off the
train, but he did send word
ahead TO every scheduled stop
that two men who didn't be-
long" were aboard the train.
Thereafter. railroad dicks got
aboard dutifully- at every sta
ton, in a futile effort to stop
our picture taking.
The servicemen with whom
we were riding, with full ap-
proval of Army authorities, were
amused at the railroaders' atti-
tude and, after it had been ex-
hibited long enough TO prove
that it was deliberate, expressed
the idea that the road must have
something to hide.
In fact, the railroads are very
sensitive about the general crit
icism of their handling of re-
turning European veterans. They
have been working under an al
most insupportable burden, and
they feel that their side of the
story has not been adequately
presented to the public.
Some of the criticism is justi-
fable. Some is borderline. Much
is unsound. and rests upon ig-
norance of the scope Of the rail
roads job and the inadequacy of
their equipment and manpower.
In 1941, with 20,329 coaches
and 1878 chair and sleeper cars.
the American railroads handled
29,350, 100000 passenger miles
Of business. In 1914. with only
1913 more coaches and 758 more
Pullmans. the roads handled 95.-
375, 100000 passenger miles. It
is estimates that business this
year, with redeployment will
run above 105,000.OOO. 900 pas
senger-miles -and if there were
equipment 10 handle it. travel

and has wife and his old joe

and he talked about it with the

Sgt. Bernard McManus Of
Bethel, Conn, had plans for his
first week home, but beyond
that they were a bit hazy. He
