81 MEN JAILED

Walters Serving Drinks
Suddenly Become Po-

NEW YORK, March 1.-(P-The
five walters at Norman Cohen's
stag party, to celebrate his impend-
ing surrender of bachelordom,
served the champagne, whisky and
canapes as if they had been doing
it all their lives.
But when, early this morning,
they threw off their white coats,
pulled out r%evolvers and put the
party under arrest, they seemed to
be experienced at that job, too.
They were five plainclothes po-
licemen, who today told a mag
istrate they were tipped off, the
party would be unusually gay. So
they put on walters coats and
joined the party.
They also told the magistrate
that five girls arrested at the party
had been dancing in the nude, and
some of the guests had engaged
in dice games.
OF the 81 men arrested, all but
two were ordered to appear March
2 fo~ hearings on charge OF dis
orderly conduct, the same charge
placed against the five girls.
Cohen, who had pleaded innocent
to a vargrancy charge, was non
chalant until he heard the magis-

turned pale.

done in Norway and Sweden at
much higher ATTITUDES.
There is an immediate market
of important dimensions along the
Atlantic seaboard Of the United
States and Canada where the
short voyage and return cargoes
of coal would give it an advan-
tage," said one government mines
official.
"The Labrador ore is of excep-
tional quality, could be mined at
unusually low cost and could be
transported to a st. Lawrence
port at moderate cost. Construc-
ton cost of the projected railway
would be relatively light
Sweden would give keen compe-
tition to the Labrador ore in Brit
ish and western European mar
kets and the largest potential
market for the iron appears to
be in the area now served by the
Mesabi range.
"When the st. Lawrence deep
waterway is completed" the gov
eminent mines official said, ''the
cost of delivering Labrador r to
buyers in Pennsylvania and Ohio
| should not be greatly different
from the cost delivering Lake SUI
perior ores"
Although exploration of the
| Quebec-Labrador field started as
long ago as 1929, the first drilling
was not done until 1914. More was
done in 1945 and last year, with
the biggest program Of all map
ped for this year.
The Labrador Mining and Ex-
ploration Company's chief geolo-
gist, j. A. Retty, was on the
ground in January to lay out a
schedule for this years diamond
drilling and other work and get
evidence required for construction
of the railway and other develop
ment work.
An advance party of SO men,
including biologists, drillers, pros
pectors and others, was sent into
the area by light plane. When
landing areas for freight planes
are cleared, larger craft will take
in nissen huts, bull-dozers, churn
drills, diamond drill equipment,
food and general supplies.
This years program is to be-
gin with four diamond drills to
establish depths of the ore bodies.
and it is expected that the first
. fairly definite tonnage estimates
of the field should follow this
Fwork. To date drilling has been
concentrated On the known large
| deposits which would lend them
selves to quick production by
open pit methods.

Importance.
Several million dollars already
have been spent On exploration
and drilling in the area, now peo-
pied only by a few thousand Eski-
mos and Indians. Tests indicate
that the field has rich deposits of
high grade bessemer ore, rival
ling those of the famed Mesabi
range in Minnesota, leading
source of iron in North America.
Some American capital, repre-
scented by the M. A. Hanna Com
pany of Cleveland, already is in
the development. Much more
money is to be spent, however,
and excitement is rising in mining
circles as exploration and drilling
this year gets underway on the
largest scale yet attempted.
Interest in the new field is
quickened also because the Me,
sabi supply, depleted by heavy
wartime drains, is dwindling IN
the face of continued heavy world
demands for iron and steel.

A crazy and Shameful Condition.

It is a miracle that there are good teachers In
this country who sacrifice themselves and their
substance to remain in the profession. Some OF
them are forced to work at outside jobs after
school hours to remain on the ragged edge OF
responsibility. Must we sit back, doing nothing,
until these teachers are forced to strike for q
living wage And why shouldn't they strike,
if we do nothing?
In the meantime, American children are BE-
ing robbed of fair start in life. Five million OF
school age are not in school at all. Millions Of
others are herded into huge classes where theirs
is little chance to learn.

HOW We ROB
OUR CHILDREN
BY A. N. SPANIEL
President Of International Latex Corporation

The sun won't shine so brightly for Amer.
ica's children in the years to come, a condi.
ton brought about by the shameful neglect and
indifference of their parents who stood idly by
while more than $4,000 school teachers quit
the teaching profession since 1889. The figure
staggering. 1t represents over one-third Of the
.otal number of school teachers in America.
The loss Of these teachers has weakened our
schools to a frighteningly low level. The harm
to Americas children is beyond calculation.
The situation is getting worse. Nobody wants
to be a teacher. Young people turn to other
occupations. In colleges, where teachers ar.
trained, the seats are empty. There is no one to
take the place Of the teacher who is ! leaving the
profession.
The war greatly increased the birth rate.
Soon these war-born children will appear Al
the schoolhouse door. Many Of them are chill
dren of veterans. Increased enrolment will
reach a peak in 1852. There will be more pupils
