CHILD LABOR:
Law Is Strict

Summer vacations were coming
up and there would be hordes Of
youngsters seeking work during the
long holiday. But if the wage and
hour and public contracts division
of the U. S. department of labor
had its way, all child labor would
be done strictly according to law.
FROM Cleveland, the director,
William S. Singley, issued a remind
er to all employers of school boys
and girls under 10 that age and
employment certificates for such
workers must be on file.
He pointed out that these certifi-
Gates "are considered as proof of
age and serve to protect employers
from unwilling violations Of federal
laws regulating the employment Of
children"
Under the fair labor standards
act, the minimum age for most
jobs is 16, but in occupations de-
clared to be especially hazardous
for young workers, the minimum
age is l8,

u. S. JOBS:
Could Be Cut

A contention that the government
cut its civilian employee rolls by 10
per cent and accomplish exactly
the same purposes" was made in
Washington by former President
Herbert Hoover. Declaring that this
could be done if the government
were organized properly. Mr..
Hoover said the savings to the tax
payers might reach four o five
billion dollars a year.
MR. HOOVER'S statement must
have carried some weight, but
there only an optimistic few
who believed anything might be
done along the lines he pointed out.
The former President was speak
ing with authority because a COM
mission Of which he had been
named the head-a fact-finding body
to uncover just such things as he
had uncovered-had exclusively
studied government functions and
processes and had reported its
findings.

FARM PLAN:
More Curbs Asked

Critics and supporters alike OF
Agriculture Secretary Charles Bran
mans 1949 farm support program
we're surprised when Brannan asked
sweeping new powers to control
the nations agricultural produc-
ton.
THE latest Brannan proposals
were contained in the full draft Of
the administrations farm program
which was laid before congress.
In that program, the powers re-
Quested would mark the first time
in the history Of the nation-not ex-
cepting wartime-when farmers and
their activities would be so COM
pletely under federal control.
For example, Brannan asked that
rigid marketing quotas. now disable
on only six major crops, be applied
on the great bulk Of farm products.
including meat animals, milk. poul-
try. eggs, fruits and vegetables.
It was a bold stroke on the part
Of the administration and n that
was gambling with farmer good
will over the nation.
For it was quickly discernible
that, if enacted, this program would
put the American farmer under fed
eral control from the moment he
arose to feed the chickens and other
stock in the morning, until he
tended his vegetables and worked
his crops, MIXED the COW and
fed the stock again in the evening.
The big question was: Would the
farmers stand for that, even if
congress did enact the law? Farm
ers would be given a choice because
under the Brannan proposal, they
would have to vote adoption Of the
program by a two-thirds vote of all
producers.
Brannan emissions a condition
where prices would be allowed to
move freely in the market with
farmers getting a payment cover
ing the difference if and when mar
ket prices fell below a predeter-
mined fair" return.

LIDICE.
Nothing at All

1t was hard to tell where possible
Communist Vaccinations began ans
truth left off, but if the charges o.
a Czech official that not n dollar
of five million raised in the U. S
to rebuild Lidice was used. then the
American people and humanitarian
ism generally had taken the worst
rocking in years.
JAN VODICKA. secretary-gen-
eral of the union of fighters for
freedom in Czechoslovakia, said the
collection to rebuild the city RACED
by the NaziS had been made
among our compatriots in the
United States and the rest of the
American public, and the union has
information that of the five million
dollars collected, 80 per cent was
taken by the collectors and nearly
70 per cent by the administration"
There was a quick denial. In
New York, DR.. Jan Papanek. re-
signed Czech U. N. delegate, said
the Lidice memorial committee col
lected $4,000 at the maximum"
from Americans and never got a
chance to apply any money to
Lidice.
LIDICE, as too few probably will
remember, was the village near
Prague which was completely de-
stroyed by the Nazis in retribution
for the assassination of the German
''hangman" Reinhardt Heydrich.
All the men of the village were
killed and its women and children
dispersed.

TOBACCO:
Less for Former

For farmers who grow tobacco.
the take was just about half as
much as Uncle Sam collects in
taxes from the product. This ad-
mission came from the U. S. de-
partment Of agriculture itself.
IN a review of the tobacco situa-
ton, the department estimated that
combined U. S. and state tax re-
ceipts from tobacco would approx
mate Its billion dollars during the
fiscal year. which would be a record.

The FBI has jurisdiction in
about 95 per cent of the nations
bank robberies. Training in this de-
partment is accomplished through
a dummy bank, the Bank of

through the door and said, ''Okay.

1t was murder. There lay
'Esneralda." a life-sized depart
ment-store dummy, shot behind

cut. Furniture was turned upside
down all over the place. 1t was a

the gun very gingerly into a wax

for the purpose and examined the

MY TEN DAYS In THE FBI
Continued from page thirty

They gave me my gun back the
next day - the one with the regu-
lar handle - and a handful Of
bullets. Under the guidance of
Agent Sloan I let off so shots dur
ing a routine course of tactics.
l was required to fire all 50 in five
minutes and As seconds, reloading
as l went. and shooting from vari-
Gus distances and positions. That
same afternoon / worked out
ON the ''duelins range" where
agents shoot against each
other. The targets appear mex-
pectedly and are wired electrically
50 that the time of a hit is recorded
within a hundredth of a second.
Agent Sloan killed me a couple
more, times during this business,
but / was too tired to care.
To close this department of my
career as a Special Agent they
handed me a tommy gun. Noting
that I handled the thing pretty
gingerly, Agent Sloan took it back
momentarily and gave me a dem
onstration: Look" he said. you
can shoot this thing right off your
chin" Whereupon he hoisted the
gun butt up to his chir.. and pro-
ceeded to blast a target at Is yards.
Shooting tommy gun is like
playing the piano" he said as he
handed it back to me. you've got
to practice constantly if you want
to play"
ISuspect Musicians
WELL, is there anything special
you'd like to hear, chum?" in
quired as l cut loose at the tar
get. Some of the bullets stayed in
the State of Virginia, too.
Toward the end of my training
was ordered to report once more
to Agent Sloan in the gun room.
Here l discovered more varieties
of guns than you'll find in a South
American revolution. Many as
sortments of guns were packed in
plush-lined black cases like musi-
cal instruments. From here on out
III suspect every innocent piocolo
player l meet of being a &C" man
on his way to a desperate raid.
You get just that punchy after so
much of this stuff.

tall, rangy Texan who speaks with

q deceptively soft whisper, what
defensive tactics would you en-
ploy if a killer had you at gun
point. with your hands up?"
"Who, me?"
Eyes, you!"
II could faint, maybe?"
He shook his head. Come
In the gymnasium and let me show
you how to take a gun away from
a man!'
When Sloan said he was going
to show me how to take a gun
away from a gangster he wasn't
kidding even a little bit He
showed me all right. He showed
me 50 good that at that exact
moment 20 minutes past 3 pm.
Special Agent Jones came un-
glued at the seams like a wet
paper sack.
Plenty Of Time
SLoAN stood towering over me,
his hands in the air. / would have
taken my oath that had the gun
been loaded, and had he moved,
he would have been a dead pigeon.
But not Agent Sloan! He knows
and started telling me - that it
takes only a fifth of a second for
the brain to telegraph the mes
sage to the fingers to shoot. But
that a fifth of a second is plenty
of time to >. wHAAdAao!
The gun went flying in one di-
rection, and I went flying in an
other. It was a very neat aerial
evolution l thought, only l ended
it with bone-crunching impact on
the point of my left shoulder.
That night in the hospital
the man in the white coat said,
S'Broken collarbone," and trot-
ted out the codeine, ice bags
and stuff. There was nothing to
do but turn in my gun and badge
and head for home.
A few nights later my patient
wife was cutting up my meat for
me at dinner. She'd been regard
ing me rather curiously since my
return, but thus far hadn't said
much. Then the phone rang. She
took it; there was a moment of
silence, and then she handed the
receiver to me.

Rk0 Presents Plan 10 Split
1heaiers From Film Maxine
by the Asseeietsd Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-A plan
of reorganization for Radio-Keith-
Orpheum Corp. separating its
theater operating business from
production and distribution Is be-
ing mailed stockholders, the COM
pany announced.
The separation idea. for which
the management seeks stock
holder approval, stems from the
recent Supreme Court decision in
the Paramount Theater case
which had been before the courts
for 10 years and in which RKO
and other principal companies in
the industry were defendants.
The company told its stock
holders that while it had entered
into an agreement with the De.
partment of Justice terminating
the suit as it applied to RKO,
such agreement will cease to be
binding unless on or before March
80, 1949, stockholders approve a
reorganization of the general
character contemplated by the
consent decree.

School o|BuiIdingRep
Urges Greater Space
For Smaller Glasses

Expansion of the typical school
building to provide more space
for an educational program to
meet the needs of all children
was urged today in a report by the
American Association of School
Administrators.
The 525-page report. American
School Buildings" describes the
latest developments in school de-
sign. construction, heating and
ventilation, lighting and color,
building materials and furniture
and equipment.
To sum up. the schoolhouse Of
the future should have smaller
classes ip larger classrooms.
The buildings should be located
so that elementary pupils won't
have to walk more than three
quarters of a mile or ride a bus
longer than 80 minutes. High
school pupils shouldn't have to
walk more than 2 miles or travel
more than an hour each way, the
report stated.
And parents and school boards
might just as well adjust them
selves to the cold facts of a new
price level"
Waste and extravaganza must
be avoided. but attempts to cut
costs too severely would be as
foolish as buying a suit Of shoddy
material a size too small" the
report stated.
The report was prepared by a
commission of the school admin
istrators organization, which is an
affiliate of the National Education
Association. Heading the commits
mission was Warren T. White, su-
perintendent of school in Dallas,
Tex. Ray L. Hamon, chief Of
school housing section of the
ONCE Of Education here, served as
a member of the commission.

WINTER

Now that winter here the flowers begin disappear
The leaves the trees that kept us cool
Are falling to the ground large pool
The birds that sang the summer long
Go to climates greet the people with song
And the soft green grass will fade away
But will come back next summer in the usual way
The soft, white has begun to fall
And cover the ground and it all
1t covers the trees and makes it bright
And really makes wonderful sight.
The cold North wind with its icy breeze
Makes people think they going to freeze
The football stadium won't have crowd
And hear the cheers soft and loud.
But would bet nickels and dimes
That it will come back many more times
The old swimming hole will be frozen With ice
And the kids will be skating, thinking its nice
Winter has and it may make us cross
But it has long since proven it is the boss
