able. The entire program, Mr..
Layton testified, costs $64,0 900 a
year.
THAT is a small amount for
the tremendous job you are
doing" Chairman Kefauver de-
clared.
: The subcommittee yesterday
apparently brought the District
schools and the United States
Employment Service into closer
cooperation.
A hearing yesterday looked
into the Washington setup and
found some cooperation in plac-
ing youth in jobs between the
two agencies.
Representatives of both agreed
more cooperation is needed.
Efforts Since 1916
Fred 2. Hetzel, director of the
USES Office here, said his agency
had been trying to work out a
co-ordinated program With the
schools since 1916.
He said his office had been
able to set up a program with
the parochial schools but that
the public school systems reply
was to the effect that the pro-
posed employment service sug-
gestions would not materially
add to existing school counsel
ing. testing and placement &C
tivitieS."
Some individual schools, he
said, have worked with his
agency.
DR.. Carl Hansen, associate SUI
perintendent of schools, testify
ing before Mr.. Henzel, said the
critical problem in youth en-
ployment is the child who has
dropped out of school before
graduation. He said the schools
should study this need in CO.
operation with USES.
Delay Questioned
"Why was this not done a long
time ago?" asked Senator Lam
ger, Republican, of North Da-
kota.
I'm not able to find justif1ca-
ton for it," DR.. Hansen replied.
DR.. Charles E. Bish, principal
of Mckinley High School, said
USES workers have been very
useful to his school. 1--WE expect
through close cooperation with
USES, to improve the effective
ness of our placement service"
DR.. Bish declared.

Nautilus Resumes
First Iona Cruise

GROTON, Conn. May II (PO.
The atomic-powered subma-
rine Nautilus left here at $50
am. today in a second try at
starting on her first long shake
down cruise. She is scheduled
to arrive at Puerto Rico Sunday,
then head for the Virgin Islands.
The Nautilus returned to her
berth here yesterday after a
steam pipe burst when the sub
marine was off Block Island,
R. I. She had started out on
the cruise Tuesday with Ad-
miral Robert Carney, Chief of
Naval Operations, on board.
The spokesman said the break
in the steam pipe occurred after
Admiral Carney was transferred
to another ship off Long Island
for a flight back to Washington.
The break was so small, the
Navy said, that the submarine
could have continued on it's
journey. But she was close to
her base at the Electric Boat
Division of the General Dynam-
les Corp. and Comdr. Eugene
P. Eilkinson decided to take her
back for the repairs.

The Senate Juvenile Delin-
quency subcommittee today
heard workers in the field of jul
venile employment recommend
less strict, Interpretation of the
child labor laws, but no changes
In the laws themselves.
Robert C. Taber, director of
the Philadelphia schools division
of pupil personnel and guidance.
said availability of jobs, not the
child labor law, determines the
extent to which young people
are employed.
The basic laws should not be
relaxed, Mr.. Taber declared, but
"legalistic rather than protec-
tive" interpretations of these
laws do tend to restrict the num-
Der of suitable jobs available.
He outlined a school-work pro-
gram now operating in Philadel-
phia. under which students work
half the day and go to school the
other half, with academic credit
for both.
This program, he said, has cut
down the number of children
leaving school before graduation
and had helped the children
themselves to greater maturity
and ability.
Mr.. Taber warned, however
that "a realistic forward look
does not bode we'll for youth, nor
for a reduction in delinquency.
THE increased birth rate will
greatly accentuate competition
of teen ayers for jobs because of
a larger labor force. Increased
unemployment is hard on youth.
-. The impact of automation is
likely to be greatest on inexper-
fenced youth"
Points to Distress Cases
Warren K. Layton, director of
guidance and placement, Detroit
Public Schools, also backed the
child labor laws as a necessary
protection but suggested that in
distress cases the legal restric-
tons might be eased If "enforc-
ing officers might in some dis
tresS cases make freer use than
some of them now do of permiss-
able exceptions"
The Detroit program, Mr..
Layton said. includes a Job up
grading" set up, under which
children who drop out of high
school are given counseling, spe-
cial training in job seeking, and
other help including such things
as access to shoe shine box.
If youngSter is unable to find
work through this program after
about six weeks, he is given

SCHOOLS
An outstanding feature of Column
bia Falls has been its improving
school system. District 6 voters last
April approved purchase of 1874 ac-
res as future site for a new Col
umbia Falls high school. The high
school is attended by 315 students
from West Glacier, Apgar, Coram,
Martin City, Hungry Horse, Essex
and Columbia Falls. Columbia Falls
grade school has a new building and
addition with IS rooms in all, be-
ing completed. Still in use is the
Talbot grade school building.
Of the IS seniors who were gradu-
ated from the high school in May,
1855, there were 10 who enrolled as
freshmen IN September at various
universities and colleges.
With coming of the new Anaconda
Aluminium Co. plant assessed valua-
ton of School District 6 increased
from $12, 40, 154 for 1854 to ST, 657, !
no for 1855. This is a larger figure
than for many Montana counties. A
result of the broadened tax base in
School District is that the tax levy
on a home in Columbia Falls is q
per cent less than for the same home
in other Flathead cities. The levy is
80 mills lower.

Teddy Would Be for 1t

The Star congratulates the trustees
of the Theodore Roosevelt Association
for statesmanlike decision The formal
permission they have given for the new
Potomac River bridge to pass over South
Roosevelt Memorial Island proper
solves number of problems. One of
these relates TO the design Of the bridge
itself, another to the future of the island
as memorial to a great President.
As for design Of the bridge, access to
the lower part of the island will enable
change Of the bridge route that will
avoid close proximity to Memorial Bridge
and the Lincoln Memorial. The change
is most desirable The Fine Arts Com
missions objections to such proximity
were ably stated, and the commission was
overridden simply because there was no
practical alternative without impinging
on the island.
In granting permission for use of the
island, however, the Roosevelt Associa-
ton has been forced to revise the original
concept Of its development as memorial.
When 1t was decided to the Government
as "a natural park for the recreation and
enjoyment of the public" its donors
thought of It's preservation as "a sanctu-
ary from the rush and tumult of modern
life" That idea must now undergo some
revision. The revision should be bene-
ficial, to the public and to the island
as memorial. The bridge will afford
access, which now is denied except by
boat. As memorial, the island should
provide beautiful site for simple
reminder of some things that Theodore
Roosevelt stood for. BY 1858, when the,
Nation will observe the centennial of Mr..
Roosevelt's birth, fitting form for this
memorial will surely be devised.
The association was prompted in It's
decision by the thought that Theodore
Roosevelt, as President, made major con-
,tributions to the plan Of Washington and
the preservation of its beauty. Some
impairment Of this beauty was threat
ened by bridge too close to Memo
rial Bridge, and the alternative of
permitting the bridge to cross the island
proved in the end more acceptable to the
trustees. We hope that Congress will now
make simple amendment in the law
which authorized the bridge site, permit
ting the changed location making use
of the island. Senator Case has ably
paved the way for such an amendment.
It should have no opposition. For at last,
in this long controversy, Congress is
being presented with a proposition that
has general support, and which promises
another beautiful bridge in this beauti-
ful city.

Seizure Talk

Tall talk about Government seizure
and operation Of the transit company is
one method Of prolonging the strike.
For If they are led to believe that such
thing is in prospect, both the company
and the union will be willing to sit on
their hands and await any development
designed to take them OF the hook,
which seizure would do.
The Star doubts that any such move
Is in prospect. Government seizure Of
the transit company, authorized as 1t
would have to be by Congress, would raise
more questions than it answers There is
a record Of past transit strikes and their
eventual settlement, without seizure, In
cities all over the country Strikes COM
parable to the one in Washington are
underway now in Los Angeles, Buffalo
and other cities. There are apt to be
more. The peacetime seizure precedent
is dangerous one, and there is no COM
pelling reason why Congress should f1nd
it necessary to establish 1t here.
The economic facts of life will pro-
duce settlement eventually, as they
have produced settlements elsewhere.
There will be considerable hardship and
losses in the meantime, but as yet Con-
gress has failed to find method Of avoid
ing such accompaniments Of the right Of
an employer to refuse to meet union
demands or the right of the union to
enforce its demands by striking.

Shy, Sergeonts

1t will come as great surprise to
many CT Joe, present and past, to learn
that the Army has found it has many
sergeants who are shy and suffer from
inferiority complexes. Not even the
comic strips ever have made it seem that
way. and the real-life, leather-lunged
topkicks showed few signs of faint hearts
or pallid personalities. But over in
Munich, where the Army is running its
largest "Noncommissione Officers' Acad-
emy," first ojective.i is to try to instill
self-confidence in the three and four
stripers. One approach is to drill them
in public speaking, with a reminder that
it is uncouth to below at privates-
especially in tangle of sounds that
hardly are translatable into any known
language. Another approach is to
develop the psychological aspects Of
leadership" and to take a personal
interest" in the men.
A news story says that some SER
geants act shell-shocked when called
upon to address group. Some privates
knew all along that their sergeants we're
sllell-shocked. The greater danger now
may be that the whole squad will suffer
more from the cure than from the
ailment.

For q Greater Southwest

The public works legislation just
passed by Congress opens the way for
a great new Federal building program in
Washington-one as epochal as the
sweeping Triangle undertaking Of the
'20s. The Triangle project wiped dis
creditable section Of the downtown area
off the landscape and substituted for it
the departmental buildings now lying
between Pennsylvania and Constitution
avenues. The new program is designed
to help bring about similar transfor-
nation of the old Southwest. Best OF
all, coincident cleaning up Of the Mall
would be taking place.
The legislation authorizes Federal
partnership in the Southwest redevelop-
ment enterprise through special lease
purchase construction arrangement, pat
termed on the national act. Under this
authorization the Government may ne
gotiate with the zeckepdorf (or any
Federal Office or other structures in the
evolving modern community overlooking
the water front. The Government can
pay for the buildings on long-term in
Stallment plan, under which rent would
be paid to private contractors until the
Federal equity justified change of title.
from private to public ownership.
Two important provisions are in
cluded in the authorization. One will
assure the payment of real estate taxes
on the lease-purchase properties as long
as they remain in private hands. The
other will make possible start on an
orderly program for ridding the Mall of
the unsightly "tempos." An equivalent
amount of Office space on the Mall must
be abandoned as the new permanent
Offices in the Southwest are occupied.
This is an important condition that
marks the first legislative approach to
purposes.

Overdue Investigation

Disclosures to date indicate that a
full-scale investigation of Marylands
land-buying program for highways is
overdue. The Stars own investigations
have brought to light widespread specu-
lations by realty operators in connection
with purchase of rights of way for new
Route 240 and other roads. A spokesman
for one group has told of handsome
profits made in quick turnovers of farm
properties through which the State
planned new highways. Serious accusa-
tions against State employe are being
looked into by the State Roads Commits
sion and the State Attorney Generals
Office.
It should have come as no surprise
to State authorities that land spectators
were attracted by the prospects of cash
ing in on the highway locating program.
It always has been that way. For that
reason, the State Highway Commission
should have been especially alert to pro-
tect the interests of the public whose
money pays for the rights of way. n it
was as easy for the spectators to buy up
land at low prices, as The Stars stories
by Gene Goodwin have revealed, it
should have been easier for the State
to make the same deals. After all, the
State was on the inside as to where the
roads were being laid out. One question
raised is whether several of the dealers
had access to inside information, too.
Another is whether, in the event there
was such access, the information was
obtained in an irregular or illegal way.
If so, prompt action by the State At
torney General will be necessary if public
confidence in the integrity of the States
multimillion-dolla highway program is
to be maintained.
