described in quiet though glowing
terms how he commanded for four
months the gun crew of 35 white
sailors who served on the Booker
T. Washington.
The Booker T. Washington was
the first ship named after an Amer
lean Negro and was commissioned
early in the war and had the dis
tinction Of being the first ship of
consequence to be commanded by
a Negro captain.
Lieutenant Youngdale was as
signed to the ship in the summer
of 1914 serving aboard for four
months. His company Of 35 sail
ors were all white lads from all
over the country. The ships crew
were both Negro and white, officers
and men.
Lieutenant Youngdale said that
during the trip overseas to North
Africa he watched closely how the
crew got along together. He said
there was never any incident Of
racial differences the entire trip.
At the end Of the trip, as evidence
of the fine spirit, he said that some
of the Navy crew, including some
of the southern white boys, volun-
teered to stay on the Booker T.
Washington.
Nazis Amazed at Lack Of Anti
Semitism
On the return trip from Casa
blanca the ship carried German
prisoners of war. Several of the
Nazis spoke English and they were
amazed when American crew men,
bers, both white and black, rebuffed
their attempt to preach anti-Semi-
tism. Youngdale said they appar-
emily had no feeling against Ne
groes as such but many of the
more ardent Nazis derided the
Jews. He said they were very
uncomfortable whGn the Booker
It's men made it plain that in their
thinking there was no room for
anti-Semitism.
Lieutenant Youngdale said that
after his experience with the Nazis
he was dismayed to see the extent
to which some American demigods |
are preaching anti-Semitism in this
country.
Race Determination Can BE Licked
In summing up his experience
on the Booker T. Washington,
Lieutenant Youngdale said, THE
experience Of serving on a ship
commanded by a Negro captain
proved to me fhat race discrimina-
ton can be licked"
He said, People in our country
who preach and practice race dis
elimination are doing democracy a
grave disservice by creating arti-
fetal problems which may affect
our world leadership"
Lieutenant Youngdale is a gradu-
ate Of Carleton College and at the
time of his enlistment was taking
post graduate work at the National |
Institute Of Public Affairs.

SMOLDERING YOUTH
Continued from preceding page

when ]. Edgar Hoover came into
my Office some time ago to tell me
that the greatest number of per-
sons arrested in the United States
IN any age group were the l7-year-
olds! Seventeen -- the charming
age which Booth Harrington i'm
mortalized. Now it was being i'm
mortalized again - on police blot
ters.
Some observers were taken
aback when I galvanized my de-
partment for the fight against
juvenile crime. They associated
the Office of the Attorney General
with trust-busting. tax prosecu-
tions and the war against the Dill
fingers and Capones. Were we rob-
bing the cradle, they wondered, in
girding the U. S. Department of
Justice against rampage on the
part of bobby-soxers and zoot-
suiters2
l think the best answer came
in the desperate and bloody at
tempt of five prisoners to shoot
their way out of Alcatraz last
spring. Who were these men, and
when did their careers of crime
begin? Joseph Paul Cretzer COM
mitted his first crime at 16, Clarence
Carnes at l6, Sam Richard Shock
ley at Is. Marvin Franklin Hub
bard at l6. and Miriam Edgar
Thompson at Is.
Had we been wise enough to
fight the criminal tendencies of
these men at an early age, we
might have been spared that tragic
jaii-break and all the gruesome
trail of crime that led to it.
The Brool<lyn Plan
that's why we of the Depart
ment of Justice have thrown our
selves into the battle against juve-
nile crime. We've learned a great
deal. We've learned that crime is
but small part of the youth prob
lem in this country. Only three per
cent of our teen-agers are delin-
quents. And even in this small per-
centage of erring youngsters we
found there is more good than bad.
That is why have recommend
ed to United States Attorneys
throughout the country plan en-
ployed in the Eastern District of
New York: the Brooklyn Plan"
This is a reversal of the Gus
tomary legal process. When teen
ager is arrested, he is given a
chance to make good under proba-
ton instead of being prosecuted.
If he makes a fresh start and keeps
out of trouble, the case is marked
mot prosecuted" and a criminal
record is avoided. My files tell of

sanitary pad. No belts, no pins, no
odor. No wonder it sounds too good
to be true. ... .Tampax was invented
by a doctor - on the principle of
internal absorption. 1t is compressed
in patented applicators for quick
and easy insertion. OF course the
Tampax is completely invisible when
in place-nor can it be felt by the
user. Quick change. Easy disposal.

hundreds of boys and girls who
have more than justified our faith
in this plan.
On a broader front, we have
learned that juvenile crime is a
symptom, and not a disease. The
unhappy three per cent are sig
nal that all is not well with the
young generation. They are a
warning of what might happen to
our country if we do not fill the
cup of Empty Youth. We must
realize that the other 81 per cent
need fully as much attention as the
three per cent who run afoul of
the law.
The Conferences Task
ON OCTOBER 2lst to 23rd, l am
convening in Washington a
National Conference on the Con-
troll of Juvenile Delinquency.
There will be 500 delegates from
all over the country. And assure
you we are not going to put all our
efforts into ways of catching kids
who steal automobiles and rob
candy stores.
We are going to exercise our
brains on the whole challenge of
Smoldering Youth.
For this we have learned: Give
youth optimism; an assurance that
the future is adventurous and full
of exciting opportunity; feeling
that they are an important link
in that future - and juvenile de-
linquency will become as passe as
the Charleston and the shingle
bob.
Why not begin in your own
home? Recognize the teen-ager of
today for what he is: an earnest
youngster, much more serious than
his prototype of the Roaring
Twenties, deeply perplexed by the
future and wondering just where
he fits into the pattern of life
in challenging, battling, anxious
Atomic Age.
Take him into your serious
discussions. Hear his ideas.
Swap views on politics and in
ternational problems. Talk over
his plans and ambitions. But most
of all - keep faith with him. If
you invest cynicism in your child,
you draw the shade upon grow
ing plant. For tomorrow's sake,
bathe him instead in the sunlight
of optimism and hope.
1. personally, am betting on
youth - come what may. For l
know that no matter how badly
we elders bungle up this earth,
our boys and girls will grow up to
make it a better place than ever
before. The End

 The present situation isn't good Congress has lacked the either to kill OPA mercfullv or to revise sensibly MT Bowles and Mir Porter volunteered suggestion that OPA imperfect in theory practice recommended any legislative improvements. MT. Trlmans contribution has been critical than constructive
 So we don't blame the JAW. for it's complaints last this. But doubt that countrywide work stop speeded the rebrh of workable OPA or did anything else except hold up production for couple of hours.

fleet concentration at Truk. That would have been target and concentration similar to Bikni The strategy against Truk, however would have been to drop not just bomb, but several
 Another point made by the bombers is that am- phibious landing operations will have to be planned and executed entirely concepts if they are to be made proof against atomic bomb defense. At Guadalcanal, at Casablanca, at Sicily, at Leyte, at Normandy, or at any of the other beachheads where invasion forces landed. the concentration of ships was even greater than at Bklni It follows that one well-placed atomic bomb could disrupt an phibious landing Half dozen would stop it cold.
 The Navy boys come back with this argument:
 The bomb exploded in the air did not damage the hulls of our ships. Aside from the five ships sunk, only nine were seriously damaged and they all stayed afoat. They could have steamed back to base and been repaired No boilers exploded Even the submarine that looked a hopeless wreck above water was able etc move out of the lagoon under her own power.
 To which the bombers reply:
 Oh is that SO? You are overlooking the fact that the damaged ships set fire and otherwise made radio actively hot that 1t would have been unsafe for to remain aboard, those circumstances, what would skipper do? Would he order the ship abandoned? Or would he tell the survivors to take the gallant ship back to base for repairs, knowing that in five days so they'd all be dead from radio-activity?
 Making the hulls safe for personnel-insulatins battle-stations against -actvity-woud require protection of about two feet of steel eight feet of concrete. Ships just can't be built with that much .armor and still operate efficiently
 The argument goes on and on from here just the Billy Mitchell argument went on between World Wars l and IL
