0'Conor Heads Effort
To Bar New Academy
By the Associated Press.

nS Int hSsOCldteQ PreSs.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. l4.-Gov.
OConor yesterday accepted the
honorary Craftsmanship of the Com
mittee of Citizens preffered by
members of the Annapolis Chamber
of Commerce.
The committee, composed of
Maryland business and political
figures, was formed last week in an
effort to defeat recent agitation to
establish second Naval Academy
on the West Coast.
Accepting the Craftsmanship of
the committee, the Chief Executive
issued the following statement:
Rumors OF movement in Con-
gress to transfer the United States
Naval Academy to the West Coast
makes it impossible for Marylanders
20 ignore them any longer.
For this Naval Academy to be
any place other than Annapolis is
unthinkable. In October, the Naval
Academy will celebrate its Tooth an
niversary, and for nearly all its 100
years of existence the terms "An-
napolis" and Naval Academy" have
been practically synonymous.
-"I am gratified to learn that a
committee of leading citizens has
been organized to combat ann move
to uproot this historic institution
and transfer it to another State.
To this movement I pledge my
hearty support, and shall do every
thing in my power to enlist the aid
and sympathy of the chief execu-
tives of other States to retain the
Naval Academy at its present To-
cation

Maryland Air Board Opens
Drive on low-F|yinq Planes
By the Associated Press,

By tie Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 14.-The
Maryland Aviation Commission has
begun a campaign against low
flying aircraft over certain sections
of the State.
Charles H. Buck, commission
chairman. said every effort would
be made to have offending pilots
prosecuted and even grounded. Re-
ports have reached the commission.
Mr.. Buck explained, that planes
have been flying dangerously low"
over certain sections of Baltimore
Bethesda and Silver Spring.
Mr.. Buck stated, 1--WE have au-
thority under the State aviation
code to arrest and prosecute inoi-
vidual pilots from acrobating or
low flying, and we intend to exer-
else that authority to the limit"
He said the reason the commits
sion had not prosecuted any one to
date was that the citizens COM
planning about low flying had failed
to furnish the license number,
which is displayed prominently
under the wings of all aircraft.

Stronger Home Ties Urged
To Fiqht Juvenile DeIinuuency

py himself. Loss of wartime spend
ing money won't matter. There is
no indication that the war has made
children more aggressive
The war" he continued, has
been used as scapegoat for the
very old problem of juvenile de-
linquency. 1t increased the prob
lem only to the extent that it made
more children insecure. The amount
OF juvenile delinquency we have
after the war will depend on the
type of homes children have"
Statistics show juvenile deln-
quency decreases during depressions
and increases during periods of
prosperity when parents spend less
time at home, DR.. Geshel said.
Getting excited about the emo
tional Embellishments of children
will help no more than it will help
in the case of veterans suffering
from combat fatigue. If you give
the child normal home life, if you
treat the veteran like a normal hu-
man being, both will work out their
own problems
DR.. Geshell would start by build
ing more homes.
Calls People Lazy.
Apartment house living, he noted,
simplifies life. The time once con-
sumed in emptying ashes and mow-
ing the lawn could be used in read
ing and music. The trouble, as ne
sees it, is that people are lazy. In
stead Of using their extra time read
ing to the children, parents go to a
movie.
In home, the family shares more
responsibilities. A boy gets better
acquainted with his father while
learning from him how to repair the
lawn mower. The children share a
dog and are drawn closer together.

Civil Service
Tells Workers
To 'Sit Tight
Dismissed Employees
And Veterans to Get
First Crack at Jobs
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Dismissed Government war serv.
ice appointees and returning serv-
icemen desiring Federal jobs will be
given preference in future Govern
ment employment under plans
being set up by the Civil Service
Commission, it was learned today.
In effect, no one will be consid-
cred for Federal employment until
the list of veterans and dismissed
war service employees has been ex.
hausted.
The plan will go in effect shortly,
in time to aid many Federal work.
ers who will be dismissed in the
days Immediately following VI day.
Jobs in Other Bureaus.
Meanwhile. civil service officials
urged Government employees here
to "sit tight" and await develop
ments.
There is no reason for any one
to become panicky," Civil Service
Commission spokesman said today.
Mass dismissals won't come for
some time yet and many war service
employees will have a chance to
secure employment in other Gov
ernment agencies" the spokesman
said.
While the activities of most war
agencies will be either abolished or
curtailed, other Government bu-
reaus will expand their operations,
he said. These latter agencies offer
thousands of job opportunities for
Government workers who have lost
their war service jobs.
Shortage of Clerical Help.
Among the agencies slated for
expansion are the Veterans Admin
istration, Treasury Department, Re-
construction Finance Corp. and the
Surplus Property Board. Other
agencies such as the Commerce,
Agriculture and Interior Depart
ments have shortages of stenogra-
pliers, typists and other clerical
help.
Government officials do not ex-
pect that the jobs available at these
peacetime agencies will begin to
take care of the dismissed war serv-
ice appointees, but they do say that
thousands of jobs will be available.
Plans have not yet been COM
pleted, but Civil Service Commits
sion officials are anxious to devise
system whereby dismissed en-
ployes with high efficiency ratings
should get first crack at peacetime
jobs. Length of seniority and quail
ity OF efficiency will determine tho
applicants chances.

With the wars end we will have to
make an about face and be opti-
mistic instead of overweight about
the problem of juvenile delinquency
or we never will reduce it, according
to Dr. Stanley w Geshell, director
of the Juvenile Court psychiatric
clinic
I'VE magnified emotional malad-
justments during the war by making
a hullabaloo over them," he said.
Now We will have to put our con-
fidence in the children and their
parents. We have got to be careful
not to view with alarm
Although 95 per cent of juvenile
delinquency cases originate in the
home. a program to combat them
must be based on the fact that par
ents don't like to be told how to
rear their children, DR.. Geshell said.
Need Better Housing.
The best way to go at it, he be-
lieves, is to strengthen the home
by such indirect methods as an ade-
quate housing program and the pro-
posed mental hygiene bureau within
the Health Department.
In his opinion, schools and
churches already are doing every-
thing they can. Social workers and
parent guidance groups can point
out Improvements. The initiative
Will have to come from the parents.
DR.. Geshell explained that a child
becomes delinquent because he feels
insecure
II. a child has love, if he gets
praise when he deserves it, criticism
when he needs it and consistent
treatment he will develop healthy
mental attitude and will adjust to
his community.
If he has this, you don't have to
worry about what he will do to occu-

To Garfield School

school. If our psychologists are cor
rect, it is exceedingly important
that these children be made as happy
as possible, especially at school.
What is there at Garfield as an edu-
cational institution to inspire them?
l wonder what members Of the
Board of Eduction thought as they
toured this antiquated structure? l
wonder if their consciences hurt at
all or if they said to themselves,
''This is bad situation, but good
enough for Negroes" Indeed, it
seems impossible for them to return
to their offices without feeling as
educators some deep sense of re-
morse, despite the words of Mr..
Lands, who spoke briefly to the
students assuring them of the
"great opportunities" that were
theirs.
1 wish that more West Side citi-
zens would visit Garfield school to
see for themselves the situation as
it really exists. l am sure that none
could ever again be complacent over
the existence of segregated schools,
for there at Garfield, Dayton gives
us an example Of inequities in edu-
cational facilities so glaring as to
arouse the wrath of all Negro tax
payers.
Knowing the caliber of the Board
of Education, l have no illusion that
a protest to them would be of any
avail, but at least, a visit there
would confirm my previous conten-
tions, that citizens in Dayton should
be deeply ashamed to sit by and ac-
cept what the "Great White Faith
ers" hand out to them as second
class citizens Of a minority group.

He expressed great sympathy for
the Negroes in America in their

Ihad the pleasure of accepting an
invitation extended by the faculty
and students of Garfield school
along with other citizens and men,
bers of the Board of Education on
Friday, May 10th. The occasion was
a closing presentation of the work
done by these children in art, music
and academic subjects. A unique
program was rendered by the chill
dren, which showed much original
thought and native talent.
1t was my first visit to this school
and l take this opportunity to COM
mend the principal, teachers and
children for the results obtained
against many obviously tragic odds.
AS sat through the exercises and
listened to their lovely clear voices
lifted in song, watched their feet
glide with natural and inhibited
rhythm through the Mexican, Rus
sian and native American dances, /
was touched beyond measure with
the possibilities to be found among
this group of Negro children, who
at best are so seriously handicapped
in achieving the goals that am sure
many of them must aspire to.
trust that the readers will for
give me if / seem to "accentuate the
negative and eliminate thepositive,"
but one glance around this educa-
tional "Alcatraz" located on West
Fifth street for too many years,
with it's delapidated class rooms,
made cheerful only by the creative
work done by the children and
mounted for exhibition; with a
dreary concrete basement or (first
floor, if you please) assembly room
being used for an auditorium, re-
minded all visitors that these chill
dren are for their elementary school
careers, condemned to life of rou-
tine in the most dismal of atmos-
pheres. am sure that the teachers
of Garfield carry on only because of
their interest in the children en-
trusted to their care and likewise,
the students with little of physical
attractiveness to bolster their mo-
rale, find hope and inspiration only
in that given by their teachers.
We can assume that many Of the
children who attend Garfield come
from homes Of low economic status;
that the parents Of most of them,
must of necessity go out daily to
earn a bare existence and are no
doubt too tired at the end of the day
to take real interest in the prog
ress that the children make at
