Wayne Morse, and Richard L. Neuberger, have joined in sponsoring a bill to establish a Youth Con servation Corps "to provide healthful outdoor training and employment for young men and to advance the conserva tion, development and man agement of national resources of timber, soil, and range, and of recretional areas." Sen. Hubert Humphrey CD Minn.), is the chief sponsor. He believes it would provide at relatively low cost a pro gram for combatting juvenile delinquency and furthering natural resource conservation. Some of the details of the bill are: The YCC would be com posed of 150,000 boys from 16 to 22 years of age, except for a small percentage over 22 with special conservation skills. The boys would be paid the basic pay of the lowest rank of enlisted men in the Armed Services, which is now $78 per month, plus subsistence provisions. They would re ceive no less than 10 hours weekly of general education and vocational and conserva tion education. Enrollment Priority Indians would get priority in enrolling in the YCC for work on projects on or near reservations, if the YCC at the time has less than 10 per cent of its ranks composed of Indians. Boys would sign up for one year or special vacation pe riods for students. They would be assigned, after orien tation, to units of perhaps 50 or less boys under supervision of state and federal profes sional foresters and others. The YCC would be run by a Commission made up of gov ernment officials representing the various departments and agencies that would offer work for the boys-Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and the Department of 'Health, Education and Wel fare. Sen. Humphrey pointed out that the old Civilian Conser vation Corps, which operated for nine years until World War II, resulted in planting of 3 billion trees, building 150,000 miles of trails and firelanes, erecting 4000 fire towers, 45,000 bridges and thousands of buildings, and stringing 85,000 miles of new telephone wires. They built check dams against soil ero sion, cut and thinned 4 mil lion acres of timber, fought fires, planted forage grasses on nearly 40 million acres of brushy lands. Estimates Made Humprey said that the Na tural Resources Council, com posed of heads of nationally knfwn conservation organiza tions, has made estimates of what investment must be made "to bring the corrosive action of man against nature under control, and to rebuild the productive capacity of our lands and waters enough to sustain the predicted popu lation of 50 years from now." He said this showed a need for $3 billion to improve for ests; $4,5 billion to halt loss of topsoil and protect water sheds; $1 billion to stabilize soils and increase forage yield of western rangelands; $2 billion to improve outdoor recreation facilities; and $1 billion for wildlife refuges. "There is work enough to employ several hundred thou sand men tor a decade or more at useful, not make- work, jobs," Humphrey con tended Humphrey doesn't claim a YCC is the complete answer to juvenile delinquency, but he believes it would offer an alternative to "boredom, con fusion and trouble'' that con front many high school drop outs who can't find jobs. They would learn new skills in the YCC, while .performing use ful work, which would help them upon returning to join the country's labor force. Many might be prevented from winding up in the na tion's crowded prisons and re formatories. The senator said: "A county judge in Oregon tells me that in his opinion the savings in lessened costs, for juvenile detention homes and reformatories, from the youth conservation program would almost cover the ex pense of the project." The bill would authorize costs of $375,000,000 a year for the YCC. There is nothing new about the idea of putting boys to work in the woods under state supervision after they've got into trouble. The Library of Congress found that forestry camps for de linquent boys have been op erated by 13 states, as well as many counties, cities and proviate volunteer groups. Listed among these was the MacLaren School for Boys at Woodburn and Boys' Work Camp at Tillamook. The li brary's report said each of these Oregon camps had about 25 boys, , that the Tillamook camp took those from Mac Laren who had adjusted satis factorily. They did fire pre vention, "timber clearance and park development work, but at Tillamook they worked only four hours a day and attended school four hours. Camps Functioning Camps of a similar nature have been functioning in Cali fornia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, . New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and Wash ington state, Humphrey claims this limit ed survey "clearly . demon- Girl Falls Short In Wake-a-Thon Try Pocatello, Idaho OIPB Disc jockey Jo Warner, hoping to set a new wake-a-thon record, fell asleep in her fiance's arms Wednesday night.

At the same time, it demonstrates that the sum total of all these local and state efforts is far, far less than the needs of the nation." Senators joining with Hum phrey are from both parties and from states in all sec tions of the country. The bill has been referred to the Sen ate Labor and Public Welfare Committee, of which Sen. Morse is a member.
