Congressional Support Grows
For Modified CCC Camn Plans
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special)-Sup-
port appears to be mounting
in Congress for activation of
ft WVV V. Ct 111 J
signed to put
idle teen-a g e
boys to work

and improv
i n g national

A Robt Smith lies.
Twenty senators, including
Oregon's Sens. 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,

She had stayed awake for

The attractive 22-year-old

Appeal To Castro
Havana -(UPD- The Barbers
Union, concerned by slacken
ed business, has appealed to
Cuba's revolutionaries to ab

which has become their trade
mark.
At a public meeting, the
union adopted a resolution de
claring that the "patriotic nec
essity" for beards and manes
of hair ended when Fidel Cas
tro's guerrillas came out of
the hills Jan, 1.
"The post - revolutionary
new look should be smooth
cheeks and cropped hair," the
resolution said.

strates that our proposal for
a YCC is grounded on a great
deal of varied experience. 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.
