purpose la for the federal government
to furnish lunch money ana carmre
to poor school kids; also to give
needy high school graduates 15 a
f month to go to college, and poor
college graduatea 30 a month to
work on their master's degrees.
But It was evident at a generally
unreported meeting of the state dir
ectors here that the prime movers of
the scheme have grander ideas than
merely taking over educational sub
sidies formerly handled by cltleB.
states and private endowments. In
deed, no one at the meeting said
much about carfare or lunch money,
but told of how they were going to
spare the rod and yet not spoil the
kiddles, under a new federal system.
They said their scheme originated
with Mrs. Roosevelt, but from the
way they talked It was apparent that
Postmaster General Farley also must
have hd a hand In It.
The most comprehensive revelation
of what the youth movers have In
the back of their minds was offered
by Charles Taussig, chairman of the
national advisory committee. HH re
marks were prepared In advance and
h. read them, but, after delivering
them, he returned them to Ms
, pocket. They were not given out In
mimeographed form as most speeches
of government officials usually are.
To Mr. Taussig, the youth move
ment was a chance to correct all
Soys and girl. In morality. Integrity
,nd democracy. Because he road Ms
remarks, you could not tell whether
he used democracy with a big or lit
tle "D". But that probably was not
confusing to the newly appointed
state directors. In fact. Mr. Taussig
gave them a further broad hint when
he told them that their job and
duty was "to maintain a direct con
tact with the electorate of ten years
from now." .
Teach the youth free thought,
free apeech and universal education,
said he "but remember that the
youth of the nation will control the
tlestlny of the country through Its
votes."
It can easily be denied now, but
Mr Taussig also dropped another
blue plate morsel which was not on
the bill of fare. He said every young
boy end girl should be given the
4 opportunity to marry "at the mating

federal government la going to play

thinking far beyond the .27.000.000
which the youth movers are going to
spend In mucatlonal subsidies. Prob
ably he was thinking of the $13.
000 000 vet unallocated out of the
,50 000.000 already set aside for the
vouth movament. He could buy a lot
of bows and arrows for 113.000.000.

FIRE BURNS
700 ACRES NEAR
UKEO'THEWOODS
A 700-acre fire in the Rainbow
Creek, area southeast of Lafce of the
Woods was reported under control
this morning by officials of Rogue
River national forest, after 600 men
drawn from nine CCC camps, a blis
ter rust camp and an ERA camp had
oombatted the wind -fanned blaze
since Tuesday noon.
Starting of unknown origin In an
area of winter-killed snow brush, the
fire swept through only scrubby al
pine timber, at no time endangering
caluable timber or ranch buildings.
A high wind which haa restarted the
fire after It had been put under con
trol earlier, carried the flames In the
opposite direction of the scores of
summer homes surrounding Lake of
the Woods.
The fire fighters were kept busy
at the scene today, maintaining a fire
line about the blaze with the aid of a
fire tractor for cutting aside brush.
Although nothing of value was de
stroyed, according to the forest serv
ice, the rapidiy spreafllng fire was
the largest of the year within the
national forest boundaries.

A warning was Issued today by

that absolutely no applications for

Ho stated that the public works

funds available on the basis of 65

In view of this fact, Hockley urged
that all PWA projects new contem

added that It was necessary that the
applications be submitted to the
