The value of the program which
Allied Youth, Inc. is presenting has
been Endorsed by j. Edgar Hoover,
chief of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation; DR.. Willard E. Givens,
executive secretary of the National
Education Association; DR.. John w.
Studebaker, commissioner of educa-
ton; Mrs. La Fell Dickinson, presi-
dent of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, and many church
and school leaders.
"We are definitely trying to be a
constructive force in meeting such
problems as jump of 1856 per cent
in juvenile delinquency since De-
cember, 1941, an increase of 100 per
cent in drunkenness among young
girls, and the fact that there are
two liquor outlets for every church
IN America" Mr.. Breg says.
The simile, You sit on volcano
to swat fly has been applied to us,
of course. But the fact remains
that our efforts are meeting with
success among the young people
themselves. The most amazing re-
sponse is always among the young
people in drinking homes, and from
the so-called sophisticated high
schools. 1t isea great tribute to our
young people that they aren't blind
to what is going on, and invariably
are willing to do something about
helping to remedy conditions in
their localities"
Million Hear Talks.
Mr.. Breg is a fellow of the School
of Alcohol Studies at Yale Univer-
sity, and DR.. E. M. Jellinek, the di-
rector of this school, is an en-
thusiastic supporter and one of the
trustees of Allied Youth, Inc.
To date, Mr.. Breg has addressed
more than a million students in / $50
high schools, colleges and universi-
ties in As States, the District, Ha-
waii and Canada. Most of his talks
have been followed by conference
with the large groups of young
people who usually are interested
in applying the approaches and al
ternatives he recommends in meet
ing the drinking problem. More
than $4,000 such students have met
him in conferences where they have
been helped to help themselves in
reaching decisions.
AS a student of the alcohol prob
lem. he invariably speaks as a re-
porter presenting the relation of
alcohol to traffic accidents, to crime,
to health, to mental disease and to
home life. The recreational program
which he emphasizes offers an op-
portunity for young people to have
good times without meeting the So
cial pressure that favors the use of
alcoholic beverages.

USURPATION OF POWER

I Asst YEAR the American Federation of Labor
- asked for emergency unemployment compen
sation providing maximum benefit OF S25 Weef
for twenty-six weeks in year. This proposal was
put high on the list of needed legislation which the
President submitted in his message to Congress
But Congress has thus far failed to enact the
legislation. Benefits under state laws, excepting
those of Washington and Connecticut, fall below
this standard.
AS usual most bitter fight has been waged
against this bill in which Governors and state un-
employment compensation directors appear as the
chief antagonists. "A number of directors have
been in Washington opposing this legislation Inc
Governors operate through Council OF State Gov
ernments, an extra-constitutiona organization ex-
ercisng considerable Influence on the formula
ton of national legislation, which is the constltu-
tional field of Congress- The organization is IN
creasingly taking over national problems arising
out of interstate commerce rellef( social security
and migration between states, and substituting
interstate compacts for national legislation.
This Council of State Governments is one OF
a number of organizations identified with the
Public Administration Clearing House and was
originally financed by foundation grants. The
original purpose was to pool technical data and
information and to evaluate experience in the
field of public administration. The Council has
opposed liberalization of unemployment compen-
sation legislation and federal operation OF the u
S. Employment Service.
The American Federation Of Labor believes
that the principle of naturalization of the U. 3
Employment Service and unemployment compen-
sation should be decided upon the merits OF the
issues and not confused with other party organiza-
ton issues The decision rests with Congress. The
Federation also believes that only If the Council OF
State Governments is duly made third constitu-
tional house should it have a collective voice in
national legislation.
Decision upon continued federal operation of
the u. S. Employment Service is a vital element in
speedy unemployment of displaced workers IN SUIT
able Jobs At time when a most efficient en-
ployment service is needed TO get workers with
required skills to reconverting industries and to
relieve congested war areas of workers no longer
needed the u. S. Employment Service is faced
with restrictions of return to state operation inn
posed by the Senate.
The basic issue on which decision should
have been made is the type of organization that
would result in most efficient service. Congress
should carefully guard its powers against usurpa-
tion by other agencies.

THEY WEAR IT PROUDLY

HISTORY records the Red Feather badge
of courage and chivalry. Back in the Crusade
days of the tenth and eleventh centuries the Black
Prince awarded the Red Feather for unusual acts
of valor. Robin Hood bestowed the Red Feather
upon his men for outstanding courage and gener-
osty.
The American Indians too, decorated their
fearless braves with great eagle feathers dyed
throughout the country should revive the early
traditions of the Red Feather as a symbol of gen
erouS giving.
AFL members in hundreds of communities
are wearing the Red Feather these days. 1t pro-
claims their willingness to share what they have
with others, their desire to bring health happi-
ness and opportunity to all the people in the COM
munity.
They subscribe to the slogan: "Be Generous

pUBLIC's RIGHTS IN AIRwAvEs AT STAKE

THE FEDERAL Communications Commission
announces it will begin granting licenses for
Frequency modulaton," an improved method OF
broadcasting, on November Z.
A great majority of the applicants who will
receive consideration are those who now control
standard broadcastng, including the nations arg-
est newspapers and newspaper chains.
If the commission runs true to form, the
licenses will be parcelled out with little regard
for the public interest. Since its inception, back
in the Coolidge administration, majority of the
members of the commission have shown more
concern for those who control the air than for the
millions who compelled to listen to the dreary
bilge that comes out Of their receiving sets.
