State Department Drafts
Soviet Broadcast Plans

The State Department is working
out plans for broadcasting news and
other programs by short-wave to
Russia as part of long-range effort
to promote better understanding of
the United States throughout the
world.
The Russian language broad
casts, expected to begin early in the
fall, are made possible by a $19,-
$50, 900 appropriation voted by Con-
gress to finance the international
information and cultural program
under Assistant Secretary of State
William Benton for the next fiscal
year.
In preparation for the broadcasts
Mr.. Benton's staff is seeking to de-
velop a competent Russian Ian
guage staff and solve the technical
problem of how to boost radio sig
nails sent out from the United
States so they may be strong enough
for good reception in Russia. A
wartime relay station at Algiers
may be used.
The Soviet Union long has beer
broadcasting to the United States
Great Britain and other countries
but Britain is the only one of the
major Western powers already
broadcaSting to Russia.

FB| Seizes Youth, Is,
In Theft Of Plane
AT National Airport

The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION today announced the arrest
of a 16-year-old youth. one of two
who made an unsuccessful attempt
yesterday to steal a twin-engined
airplane from National Airpora.
An FBI spokesman said the
youth lived in Maryland and that
he has been released in the custody
of his father.
They did not say whether he was
the pilot of the plane. However, a
person of is can be licensed as a
pilot
Although the spokesman said ii
"is too early yet" to explain the
circumstances of the attempted
theft, FBI investigators believe that
there was no intent either to sell the
plane or fly it out of the country.
The pilot, airport officials said
paid storage bill early yesterday
on the plane-a Beechcraft owned
by the w. w. Brinckerhoff Co.-ano
said it belonged to his father.
While attempting to take off, &C
cording to their flight plan, the tai
wheel locked, causing the plane tc
nose over and tearing off the right
engine.
The pilot and the other occupant
Of the plane, neither of whom was
injured, left the plane and made
their way past the airport guards
explaining they were going to report
the accident.
FBI agents checked through the
fingerprint files of licensed pilots in
an effort to match those found on
the controls of the damaged plane
All pilots, even students, are finger
printed by the CAA.
This fact, coupled with a full de-
scription given by airport guards, it
was understood, led to the appre-
hension of the 16-year- -old youth.

Maryland Agency
Urges Legislation
As Only Control
by the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, July 8-The ad.
visory Fair Rent Committees which
Gov. O'Conor has announced he
will appoint throughout Maryland
will prove ineffective because they
have no enforcement authority
members of the 1941-42 Maryland
Fair Rent Commission believe.
The only way to control rents is
through legislative action which
would give enforcement power tc
. rent control agency. they say.
Meanwhile, Gov. O'Conor said he
had been advised by DR.. Horace
E. Flack, head of the Bureau oi
Legislative Reference, that rent
controls cannot be enacted without
an amendment to the State Con-
stitution. The Governor has asked
Attorney General William Curran
for an opinion on the proposed
legislation.
E. D. Gaudreau, former chairman
OF the 10-member commission, said
complaints from tenants were fol.
lowed up by request that the
landlord appear at a hearing and
explain his rent increase. IF the
landlord refused to heed the ruling
of the committee, there wasn't
much we could do" Mr.. Gaudreau
said.
He added that some property
owners could be brought around
by threatening to turn them over
to the Health Department, but
"other than that, our hands were
tied as far as having any enforce
ment powers"
Mrs. Harry E. Corner, another
commission member, said one of
the commissions most serious
handicaps was that tenants were
afraid to complain of rent in
creases because they might be
forced to move by the landlord.

More Placement in

Ten out of every II veterans dis

employed or taking advantage Of

Of Rights, it was revealed today by
Robert c. Goodwin, director of the
United States Employment Service.
The local ofiice of the USES also
reported more placements of per-
sons in jobs last month as compared
to earlier months in the year.
Fred z. Hetzel, director of the
District ofIice, said local employers
hired So per cent of the persons
sent by USES for interview as COM
pared to 48 per cent in May. A total
Of 3,256 persons were placed in June
Of which 767 were veterans, Mr..
Hetzel said.
Veteran Backlog Reduced.
For the third straight month the
Nations backlog of veterans not at
work has been reduced in spite OF
the continued discharge of men
from the armed forces, according to
Mr. Goodwin.
The number of veterans over the
Nation who were not working or
were seeking employment decreased
by 10000" Mr.. Goodwin stated.
Total veterans In this non-working
group, excluding those In school,
dropped from 100000 in May to
l $50 900 in June"
Mr.. Goodwin made this statement
in review of the current report of
the Bureau of Census relative to the
American labor force. The review
disclosed, he said, that 9,840, 900 OF
the 11,340,000 discharged veterans
covered in the survey are at work
with an additional 10000 at school.
The figures showed that veterans
in the civilian labor force heretofore
listed as unemployed are coming
into the employment picture in in
creasing numbers, Mr.. Goodwin
said.
U. S. Gets Most Workers.
In the District, the USES reported
the wholesale and retail trade
gained the greatest number of new
personnel sent by the ONCE pro-
cessing trade, service and industrial
opportunities while the Government
topped the list of employers getting
new employees from the offiee pro-
cessing commercial, professional and
technical jobs.
Meanwhile, the Veterans of For
eign Wars today urged Congress to
approve the Veterans Employment
and National Economic Develop.
ment Corporation Act, which pro-
vides for establishment of an agency
to handle veterans unemployment
problems, as emergency legislation
for an increasingly alarming condi-
ton within the nation
Joseph M. Stack, VFW national
commander, said the legiaat ton
would provide for new jobs and
5 opportunities rather than displace-
r ment of workers already engaged in
r nToduction."
d There has been too much CONVEX
! fsation about jobs for veterans and
5 too little action" he declared, add
; ing that it is better to lead veterans
into self -suff1ciency than to lead
them into the public trough of the
United States Treasury"
