better-allow themselves to mouth the catch phrases of anti-Semitism and anti-foreigniSm, of anti-bus- ness or anti-labor, anti-farm. Most of them are not themselves aware that they have been infected by the virus of intolerance which already has the whole world writhing in the fever of war.
 When there's 8 riot in Detroit or Harlem, when racial antagon- isms break into the open in Bos- ton or Brooklyn, it's more com- fortable to shrug them off as local incidents. But the truth must be faced. These episodes of violence are symptoms of pressures and emo- tionS and maladjustments which are nationwide.
 The first thing we must do is to confront the reality. Obviously the most violent and deep-seated of our antiquities are racial and religious. Widespread though these expressions of group hatred are, it is a hopeful fact that they still afflict only small minority of the American population. That min- ority can be curbed and re-educat- ed of conscious and organized ef- forts are undertaken.
 DESTRUCTIVE POLICY
 At the very worst, that minor ity can be frightened into desisting. Not by legal or physician threats you can't legislate love of ones neighbor. Americans can be made sharply aware that intolerance en- dangers not merely the small groups against whom 1t Is directed but the country as whole. The obstreper- ous hatemongers and their stupid or frivolous fel!ow-travelers can be made to under stand that it simply isn't smart to rock the American boat in which they, too, are pas- Sengers.
 American has prospered because it has opened avenues of econom- ic expression to all men who had

Congress To Act
 On Bureaucracy

Washington, FeD. - (U.P0 - Congress is always hollering about bureaucracy and now is about to try to do something about 1t.
 Senator Harry F. Byrd, D., Va, and SenatIr Hugh Butler, R., Neb., have jointly introduced a bill en- titled the Government Corporation Control Act" The dispute about former Vice President Henry A. Wallace's capacity to administer the Reconstruction Finance Corpora ton led indirectly to its introduc- tion.
 Byrd and Butler looked into the government corporation situation in general and discovered that REC was one of many. Their bill lists A wholly owned government corpora tions and three groups of partly owned government corporations, some or all of which have been operating outside the immediate financial control of congress.
 Except for the initial grant o1 funds Or borrowing or lending au- thority and kickoff delegation of powers, these corporations for the most part operate on their own. Some of them do businss in figures which dwarf the operations of such private operations as General Mo- tors, American Telephone and Tele- graph or the duPonts. The REC, for instance, has authorized itself or through subsidiary corporation about $32 2,300, ,0O0,00 in direct com- mitments for war purposes.
 The REC is fairly well-known to the public and there has been nc challenge to the carefulneSs of its management. But congress evidently IS in g. mood to have an accounting from all government corporate in- tereSts.
 There probably is not member of congress who could say offhand what is being done by Cargoes, Inc, & government corporation, or the United States Commercial com- pany, Prencinradio, Inc, the Inter- American Educational Foundation, Inc.-to name few of the more obscure.
 It isn't alleged by Byrd or Butler that these 42 wholly-owned corpor- ations and the three groups of partly corporations have not been ably managed. The complaint seems to be that congress is never in position to determine precisely whether they are or are not being properly run. Nor does congress have any real control over corpor- ation business and projects, so long as the corporation managers re- main within the area of authority and funds originally granted.
 So Byrd and Butler propose that the corporations land their trans actions and operations" be brought under congressional scrutiny. To that end the bill would require that they submit annual budget pro- grams to congress for consideration, approval, modification or prohibit ton. No wholly owLed corporation would be permitted to transact any business unless previously approved by congress as part of its budget program for a specific fiscal year.
 The bill would provide for an aa- nual audit of government corpora tions by the general accounting of- flee. It would require, specifically, that the GAO report any impair ment" of corporation capital.
 A lot of money is represented by these government undertakings. Take Federal Prison Industries, Inc, of which you probably never heard. It expects an income of $17 ,25O, ,00O in the 1946 fiscal year, nearly all

FALSE REPORTS ON NAVAL RECRUITING
Youths May Enlist Before 18th Birthday; No Recent
 Changes Says Recruiter

Slightly irked by the persistent rumor about the city to the effect that the F year old age limit for the Navy has undergone certain notifications, Chief Brougham, re- cruiter in charge of the local navy recruiting station emphatically de- nied any such changes in the age requirements and issued the follow ing statement:
 These rumorS are entirely un- founded and baseless Regulations of the Navy permit any IF year old boy who is found physically quali- fled to be enlisted up to and in- cluding the day before his eighteenth birthday. However, 1t is important that the boys allow them selves a few days preceding this birthday in order to have their ne- cessary enlistment papers drawn up. Any young men who are inter- ested in serving with the Navy are not to be guided by the informa- tion that is so freely given by ir- responsible persons, instead, they should either call or write to me at the recruiting office and as- sure them that they will be given accurate information relative to en- listment requirements. There are many interesting Navy programs still open that I should like to dis cuss with them."

1 of it from Saie of prison-made goods to other government agen- cles. It expects to spend $14,25O,- OOO for raw material, labor and the other normal expenses of manufac- turing including $250OOO for 'pur- chase of additional buildings and equipment"
 On that program, federal prison industries expects to make a $3. .OO0.- 600 profit, which is niece piece of change. The FPT has had profits In other years and will go into the 1946 fiscal year with a nest egg of $18,A1 ,761. That sum plus the $l7,- 25O,OOO expected revenue make a total funds available" item of $35, ,661 ,761. That Is pretty close to high finance.
 After spending $14,250,ooO in the next fiscal year, the FPI nest egg or carryover will have increased to $21 All ,76l. It is a going concern and It does not have to come to Congress for money. FPI makes its own money under a grant of con- greSsional authority plus a pump- priming appropriation. The FPI was set up in 1894 with an appro- priation of $50OO0O.
 Congress will not complain of the management of FPT but 1t wants it and all other government corpora t1ons to be responsible directly to congress for what they shal, do with their profitS-f any. Not all of them show profit and some of them were not necessarily set up to do so.

FRENCH JEWS FINDIT HARD TO
 REGAIN HOMES
By DUDLEY ANN HARMON

By DUDLEY ANN HARMON United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Paris. Feb. 2. CUP)-Forty thou sand French foreign Jews who re- turned to Paris to claim property after four years of persecution are diSillusioned and bewildered because the majority find neither a home nor food, according to Arthur Greenleigh, Los Angeles, Cal, direc- tor in France of the American Joint Distribution Committee.
 The French government ruled that all who had taken over Jewish property must give it up with three important exceptions" Greenleigh said. The exceptions are families of deportees, war prisoners and members of forced labor battalions. Such families form 50 per cent of the current occupants of Jewish property in Paris.
 Government May Aid
 'The other 50 per cent are in many instances Frenchmen who re- fuse to give up possession. To oust them the lawful owner must go to court which costs money and may take as long as two years"
 Under pressure by French organ izations which distribute the joint committees money, the government is now considering legislation to ex- pedite such cases.
 But it still will be difficult" Greenleigh said T know Jew who went to claim his furniture but the concierge told him the Ger mans had take nit. He recognized several pieces adorning her rooms. But Jews after four years of per secution are chary about making trouble"
 J. ID. c. Runs IS Canteens
 Many Jews are living five in a room. Because life is easier in the country, the smaller-towns commit tee has warned other Jews against returning here for the time being. The 10000 foreign Jews in Paris have even more difficulty securing food than the French because they have no relatives to send them par cels from the country.
 The committee is operating three | hostels and IS canteens for home less Jews here. It is supporting | thousands who cannot get jobs be- cause of unemployment created by lack of fuel and raw materials. The committee has opened a vocational training school and established rest | camp in the south for nerve-Shat- tered Jews.
 Greenleigh said that is 1889 there were 100000 Jews in France. An additional 50,000 came from occupied countries during the first year of war. The Germans deported 127, ,000 | Jews of whom 10000 were shot or died in concentration camps. An additional 5O,00O emigrated to other countries.

Hate -Mongers Rock The American Boat
In

fruits of the productive plant. The withholding of jobs and business op- pOrtunitieS from some people does not make more jobs and opportuni- ties for others.
 Perpetuating poverty for some merely guarantees Stagnation for all. True economic progress demands that all artificial barriers erected by ignorance and intolerance be re- moved. To put 1t in the simplest terms, We are all in business to- gether Intolerance is a species of boycott and any business of job boy colt is a cancer in the economic body of the nation.
 Let's not apologize for the amaz- ing variety of our human mater ial here in America. Let us rather glory in 1t as the source of our robust spirit and opulent achieve mentS. Let's not deny that there are differences in race and that our country has all the fifty-seven varieties of Gods humanity. Let us merely make clear that these dif- ferences cannot be measured on any scale of good, better and best. They a reall equally valid and all must continue to contribute to the magni- ficient mosaic of American life.
 ALL HAVE CON -RIBUTED
 Subtract from the grand total of America the contributions of our racial nd religious and economic minorities-and what remains? Sub- tract foreign-born Andrew Carnegie from our metal-lurgical industry; or David Sarnoff from American radio; or George 7ershwln and the Negro composers from our native music; or Norwegian-born Knute Rockne from our football, or Danish born William s. Knudsen from the automotive industry; or Russian born Major de Seversky from American aviation; or Belgian-born Lec H. Baekeland from American chemical achievements; on slave born Dr. George Washington Carver from biological developments. The temptation is to list hundreds and thousands who have thrown their particular genius into the American melting pot.
 Too many Americans indeed, too many of the immigrants them selves, whatever their race or land of birth-behave as if Amre- lea only gave things to newcom- CTS. We need to be reminded that America received more than it gave. After all, our country let the strangers in because it. nede- ed their muscle power, their pur- chasing power, their fecundity and their brains.
 On the whole, America, through the generations, has shown itself capable of preventing natural prej- udices from spilling over into un- natural intolerance. On the whole the trend has ben towards greater equality. Even the worst manifesto tions of prejudice have been grad ually tempered.
 The danger today comes because the normal prejudices are being stimulated by deliberate propa- ganda. Watered by hate they flour ish in more and more places as out- right intolerance and discrimination.

DAY CARE CENTERS
 ORDERED CHECKED
State Chairman of Social Service Advised Parents
 to Inspect Homes

Prompted by the fire tragedy in Auburn, Me, where 16 children in 8 privately owned boarding home lost their lives, Mrs. Herbert F. Fish CT, chairman of the Committee on Social Service and Welfare of the Connecticut War Council, urged to- day that parents who leave their children in foster day care homes make sure for themselves in advance that they meet the state require ments for safety and sanitation.
 The sanitary code, she pointed out, defines day care center as a place where three or more children, under IA, are cared for from two hours to 15 hours a day. Such a home Is required to meet state standards whether the parents pay for the care or not, she said. The quarters must be approved by the local fire mar. shal. A nurse or someone especially qualified for the work must be re- sporsib1e for the health of the chil- dren and doctor must be available for emergencies. Approval of sani- tary arrang e ments, ventilation, heating, lighting and water supply must be secured from the local health officer.
 Many parents Mrs. Fisher said, "are unaware of these requirements and it is possible, also, that persons whc are taking children in their homes for day care may also be ig- norant of the regulations. These safeguards have been established for the protection of the children. Con- munity child care centers are under careful supervision by local health anG fire authorities, but neighbor- hood arrangements for care of chil- dren are sometimes made without the inspection and approval that the law requires"

 MUST FACE REALITY
 We are all of us, in our several ways, seeking to preserve America. Millions of our sons are doing it on battlef1elds with bombs and bay onets. Those of us who build and manufacture do it with machines and goods. But what all of us have in mind is not simply the physical preservation of our country. It is the preservation of those human values which are implicit in the word America-freedom, the oppor- untitieS, the equalities. the demo- cratic ideals celebrated on our na- tional songs and poetry and books and holiday speeches.
