Parsonage Destroyed
By Wind Swept Fire

High winds swept fire through
the parsonage of the Calvary
Methodist Church at Waldorf,
Md, yesterday. The two-story.
eight-room building was de-
stroyed.
The Rev. Harold Milstead and
his wife were attending a funeral
when the fire broke out. Their
three children also were away.
Fire chief S. M. Dent of Acco-
keek, one Of five volunteer COM
panies responding to the alarm,
said origin of the blaze was not
determined. He said, however,
that it started in the kitchen
and was famed through the rest
of the frame house by the wind.
Chief Dent estimated the build
ing loss at more than $4,000. In
addition, most OF the contents
were destroyed.
Besides the Accokeek depart
ment. f1remen from La Plata,
Hughesville, Clinton and Mechan-
icsville fought the fire. No one
was injured.

Similar conditions existed in
turpentine stills, fruit groves and
farms extending from Florida to
California. they said. Indians
hunting seals in the Pribilof Is
lands suffer similarly, they
charged.
They also presented statements
charging recruiting of labor by
mass arrests on vagrancy charges
use of prison and mental hospital
labor, and alleged wartime ex-
ploitation of citizens of Japanese
descent and conscientious objec-
tors.
Mr.. Watts contended the United
States needs an effective admins
trative agency to enforce anti
slavery laws.
"The civil rights section of the
Department of Justice with its six
lawyers and no power of inde-
pendent investigation is in sharp
contrast to the antitrust division
with its 20 lawyers and full in
vestigative powers" he said.

LAKE SUCCESS. Mar. 3.-The
Workers Defense League told the
United Nations yesterday that
thousands of families in the
Southern United States are suf-
fering from forced labor practices
"akin to slavery among share
croppers, turpentine still workers
and migrant farm labor.
The report was put before a
special u. N. commission study
ing slavery conditions throughout
the world. 1t was presented by
Rowland Watts, national secre-
tary of the league, and Leroy
Hacker, a Negro baptist preacher
and United States Army Reserve
major who is an investigator for
the league.
Mr.. Watts said the league knew
of 10000 sharecropper families
tied down by debt bondage and
low pay. He said this affects at
least 100, 900 persons.
MY own belief is that the fig
ure may turn out to be several
times that after we complete a
survey we are making" he added.
Group Called Anti Communist.
Mr.. Watts told reporters pri-
vately that his organization is
anti Communist and works close
ly with the National Farm Labor
Union, an American Federation
Of Labor affiliate.
Mr.. Watts and Mr.. Hacker ap-
peared along with Albert K. Her
ling, research director of the
Commission of Inquiry Into
Forced Labor, an affiliate of the
International League for the
rights of man.
Mr.. Herling said he will stress
to the experts next week that
peonage and forced labor in the
United States are against the law
and that attempts are being made
to stamp it out, whereas in the
Soviet Union forced labor Is a
government institution.
Mr.. Herling'S commission gave
the AFL the data it used early
this week in the economic and
Social Council to accuse Russia Of
forced labor practices. 1t charged
that millions are in forced labor
camps in Russia.
Cotton Pickers Cited.
Mr.. Watts and Mr.. Hacker re-
ported whole families are re-
quired to pick cotton for long
hours, given low pay, charged
high prices for food and clothing
in company stores, and kept in

prompted her to commit 18 first
offenders to the National Train
ing School, she said there was mo
set rule for first offenders" and
that she would not go into indi-
vidual cases.
Judge Cockrill reported that in
all but six of the ITO cases she
followed the recommendation OF
either the court probation officer
or the Board of Public Welfare
social workers. All six of these.
she reported were boys 16 or II
years old.
In two cases, she reported, the
youths had previously been before
the court and the probation officer
recommended commitment to the
Board of Public Welfare rather
than the National Training
School. She did not say what the
recommendation was in the other
four cases.

She said she believed the others

Even if the committee members
were qualified to make the pro-
posed study. the chairman added,
1t would be inappropriate for them
to do so because of the committees S
closeness to the court and because

investigation"
The committee deplored any re-
newal of the traditional contro-
versy between those who favor
greater and less severity toward
juvenile offenders. 1t also deplored
any effort to use the present con-
troversy as a point of departure
for attacking the confidential

Judge Cockrill told reporters
earlier this week that she could
not say she would give committee
members access to the court until
after the committees meeting.
Comparable Figures Unavailable.
In releasing her figures on COM
mitments yesterday, Judge Cockrill
said she did not have comparable
statistics to show whether or not
commitments to the National
Training School have increased
during her tenure as judge.
The only comparison she made
on juvenile offenders was in the
number of court hearings. In
the 10 months since she became
judge. she reported, 1,219 cases of
delinquency have come up for
hearing. In the comparable peri
od-from August l, 1948, to May
81, 1949-the number of juvenile
delinqency cases ttaled LOTT, she
reported.
The judge said she has sent
ITO boys to the National Training
School in the past 10 months.
The last Official figures on COM
mitments were contained in the
report of the court for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1947. In
that year. the report showed, IS

That, however, was low year
for commitments. The fiscal year
before that, 102 boys were sent
to the Training School.

Judge Cockrill, according to her
one-page statement, 81 were wards
of the Board of Public Welfare
and were committed to the Train
ing School at the boards request.

probation at the time of commit
