Liberal But Safe

National banks survived the war in
sound condition, but there is need for
regulatory legislation to prevent mono
poles by bank holding companies. This
is the view of Preron Delano, comptrol-
Ter of the currency, in his annual re-
port submitted to the Senate and the
House.
Mr.. Delano contends that a bank
holding company should not be able
to "expand by buying stock control of
additional banks without consent of a
federal supervisory agency" A bank
ing monopoly, he concludes, is singular
ly dangerous because Of the influence
banks exercise v their communities
through control of credits"
Mr.. Delano is probably correct in his
deductions. But it may be said of Will
mington's banks that not only during
the war but since their influence and
control of credits has been as liberal as
safe banking, with proper respect fol-
stockholders and depositors, permits.

IMAGINATION OF 1851
TANK BATTALION REPORTED

BERLIN, Apr. "a (ANP)-The
761st, Tank battalion, one Of Gen.
Patton's famed tank units that par
ticipated in the battle for Germany,
is reported to have been ordered
inactivated by the war department.
Members of the 761st have ex-
pressed amazement that such an
order should be issued in view of
the units wartime fighting record
and the relatively few Negro COM
bat units in the current peacetime
army. Inactivation of the 761st,
formed in 1912 in Camp Claiborne,
La, will strike ''lethal blow to the
morale and pride of men who have
established over a period of four
years a reputation in training and
combat" one of it's officers re-
marked.
Men of the 761st should like to
know why the unit is being broken
up, he said.

guilty to involuntary manslaughter

PENDANTS also were to pay one-half

state to show that William Young,
an unlicensed driver, had been per-
mitted to operate the bus by his
cousin, J. C. Young, Jr.,, while the
latter rode in the bus as d aepassen-
ger. Witnesses testified that the bus
was travelling at a high rate of
speed when it toppled down a hill
and crashed into the creek sa.

the history of Franklin county
school bus operation. All of the

YOUTH BUREAU
RECOMMENDED AS SAFEGUARD
AGAINST RACIAL TENSIONS

AVbAuIv0I NkANukAk uh1v01VN1
BROOKLYN, Apr. "a (ANP)-
A recommendation that a city
youth bureau be set up as a safe
guard against racial tension here
was included in a report by the
Brooklyn Council for Social Plan
ming. A similar recommendation
was made in January by the We'll
fare Council of New York City,
with which the local group is affil-
lated.
The report, made public by Fran
els d. McGarey, chairman of the
committee and Kings County surro-
gate, selected the Brownsville COM
munity as an example of the need
for central and local agencies and
planned recreational facilities.
Brownsville, predominantly Jew
ish vicinity, was described as
having about $4,000 Negroes. Jew
ish residents have "the most nearly
adequate" welfare and recreational
services, whereas the Negroes
"have very little of anything" the
report revealed.
Planning recreational facilities
for this section calls not only for
cooperation by local organizations,
but also for liaison with the housing
authority, the board of education
and the parks department, the re-
port pointed out, adding that a typi-
cal area is made of portions of
Brownsville, East New York and
Ocean Hill.
"Despite the activity of churches
and synagogues, public and paroch-
ial schools and several public and
private social agencies, there are
many unmet social needs in the
three communities" the report con-
tinued. Certain Of the public
agencies have been handicapped by
inadequate physical facilities and
equipment, and practically all have
been hampered in developing pro-
grams for young people because Of
staff limitations. :"
About 35 per cent of the inhabit-
ants of Brownsville were foreign
born but rapid influx Of Negroes
moved into the area during the war.
Around 5000 youths between the
ages of 10 and 10 live in the area. A
Substantial evidence of racial ten
sions" is found among children in
schools and in the Fairgrounds,
which are not currently expressed
in any acute conflicts.
The report, based on more than a
years work in typical square
mile of what it terms a low-income
area" here, was originated by the
youth activities committee of the
Brooklyn Council for Social Plan

that the population of the Carib-
