protective services for school chill
dren.
The idea is to have school teachers
watch for problem children. A
social worker then would 60 to the
child's home and offer help before
the home is wrecked or the child
becomes delinquent.
The Board of Public Welfare
scrapped such program after three
years of demonstrated value. ac-

who helped obtain a special ap-
preparation for the work in 1941.
Revival Effort Failed.
She charged that reorganization
carried out by Ray L. Huff when he
became welfare director caused the
woman in charge to resign. An
effort to revive the program failed
in 1914, she added, when teachers
and social workers split over con-
troll and nobody did anything.
A shortage Of case workers was
the only reason for abandoning the
program Of cooperation with the
schools, Mr.. Huff replied. He knew
nothing of any dissatisfaction with
in his department or of a dispute
between social workers and teachers.
Whatever the reason, it no longer
exists and the work should be re-
vived, said Capt, Rhoda K. Milli-
ken, head of the Women's Bureau
OF the Police Department She be-
sneves the progrlm should be under
the Board of Education.
Discussions Are Planned.
At the suggestion of Capt. Milli-
ken and Judge Fay L. Bentley of
Juvenile Court, the corrections di-
vision of the Council OF Social
Agencies has appointed committee
TO discuss it with the Board Of Edu-
cation. rar*~

a project, Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle. president Of the Board of
Education, said yesterday that
school administrators believe it
should be operated under the Board
of Education by visiting teachers
with training in education as we'll

The Welfare Board also is inter-

A Thought For Today
More Platitudes Than Predictions

Tradition insists that newspapers print year-end views and editorials and time when the preparing of such pieces enjoyable duty The years best stories were assembled weighed and weeded out Then the writer made his selection with comment which he hoped lent some significance to the happenings in arbitrary division of time
 This year. however the task has peculiar difficulty Anyone attempting an appralsa of 194o prooaoy mas spent most of his time did, in trying to sdestep pa tudes and avoid the obvious. But it It clear that everyone realized had just passed through of the most eventfu in history Everybody could the historic landmarks.
 So it seemed there nothing to say about 1945 What about the New Year, then We might have sought to join the intrepid little band of journalists and deep think CTS who annually out limb with predictions of what the next 12 months will bring. But kept thinking how npressve their batting averages always look at the end bf the season.
 Perhaps then it would be safer to let the curbstone chroncers of current history make their what the holds Why not seek Man in the Street who always being interviewed anyway and put him to work more?
 A random samping of opinion confirmed the suspicion that the of 1945 had left the Man the Street with pessmistic hangover We assured that government control is running business that big business is leading down the road to another depression that labor driving us toward imitation and unless quickly curbed will take everything and socalze Cor communize) the country
 We were told that our government is too imperiaistc foo Realistically generous too weak in foreign policy anxious international responsibility Most often we assured that nothing mattered much anyway be- inevitable and the world going to be blown apart by atomic bombs
 The only encouraging aspect of all this that the gets to the head of the less pes mism finds President Truman and Secretary Byrnes lot less disprited than the Man in the Street May be they're kidding themselves but at least they do trhe cheerful.
 Since our most fateful decisions will be made by MT.

 That attitude say We don't think you've per formed any miracles gentlemen in bringing order out postwar chaos We don't expect many miracles from in 1946 We fight and win for you, but we're cluded from your secret diplomacy If you do good job expect silent surprise than wild applause.

General Motors Withdraws
Hartford Times

(Hartford TimeS)
 While The Democrat does not go along with President Truman's theory that ability to pay is sound basis for determing wage scales, it does feel that General Motors has betrayed a woeful lack of co-opera- tion and an equally regrettable lack of consideration for the public well fare in falling to help the work of the fact-finding panel currently concerned with the General Motors case.
 The justice of the JAW demand for a 30 percent wage increase is beside the point. So, too, is the Pres ident'S provocative ability to pay statement. To the general public including many of General Motors 300,000 stockholders, the decision to withdraw seems most unfortunate and will do much to lose sympathy for G. M.
 Here is a fact-finding body ap- pointed by the President to act sole ly in the interests of us who are caught in the middle of the present dispute, of us who wait anXiouSly for our new Chevrolet or Cadillac for our new refrigerator what have you. President Truman seeks tc promote industrial peace, national prosperity and speedy economic re- conversion. Acting at his behest and in the publics interest, his fact finding panel is entitled to all the information, all the facts that have even an obtuse bearing on the dis pute. In refusing the panel acces: to it's books, when immunity iron publicity is specifically guaranteed General Motors renders itself sus. pect of concealing information which might prejudice the automo- bile workers case.
 The President, acting in the pub. lie interest, has no choice but tC compel complete cooperation from both sides. AS the public's agents Messrs. Garrison, Eisenhower ant Stacy are entitled to the help from 10th sides which is a prerequisite to fair consideration and a jus settlement of the difficulty.
