Youths and Gangsterism It is a long distance from a big city underworld gang to one of the forest camps of the CCC. But a na- tion that is plagued by gangs and ‘wonders what on earth it ever is going to do about them could do worse than study the connection between the two. ‘The other day a U. 8. army officer, Capt. Thomas E. May, finished a six- month tour of duty with the COC and told of his experiences in that outfit with certain budding gangsters from New York. Captain May's camp had more than {ts share of tough young mugs from the New York East Side, Sometimes, the captain admits, he felt that the New York welfare organizations that enrolled some of his young foresters “must have sent us most of their problem cases.” Some of the lads even tried to or- ganize a racket in the camp itself, forcing companions to pay them for “protection”; one youngster wrote proudly to his mother, telling about it. But eventually the captain got the boys straightened out. He separated the young racketeers and sent the individuals to other camps, where they could escape from association| with their own kind; and he was amazed to see how quickly these hard-boiled young street bullies turned into honest, decent, hard- working, and ambitious specimens of healthy young manhood. “They never have had much of a chance,” he says. “They hardly knew anything about civilized living. But I never saw a group more eager to do the right thing or more willing to follow a right example.” Now there is enough of a moral in this little story to fill a book. how the modern underworld gang is & product of society as a whole. The lads who go into the gang are forced in by environment. Change the environment, give them! ‘That eminent columnist for the S#Ssing: Policing traffic in canyons @ chance to earn an honest living in decent surroundings, put them in an| atmosphere where that kind of en- deavor is appreciated—and, presto! they abruptly cease to be the kind of material gangs are made of. If it taught us no more than that, the forest army project would be worth every dime it cost. We simply do not need to have gangs. The lads who grow up to be hired killers usually are not irredeem- ably vicious. Society can make useful Americans of them if it cares to! make the effort and spend the money. Reformers and sociologists have been saying that for years and we have scoffed and said that was im- Practical theorizing. Well—it works, If we have half the sense we think es Among the minor oddities of these changed times there is the fact that this Democraiic administration is apt to see a stirring battle for states’ rights carried on by Republicans. The battle lines have formed al- ready. “Local autonomy and atate eovereignty must be restored,” is the rallying-cry of the G. O. P. A big Chicago Republicafi paper not long touch the life of the ordinary citizen at every point. At the same time, the structure of local government has been crumbling. Cities have been unable to collect taxes, city services have been given up, policemen and teachers have gone unpaid, municipal bonds have gone into default—and the end is not yet jin sight. So we have, on the one hand, s vast extension of federal activities; and on the other, # swift and steady shrinkage of local government.

And Jers, Garage employees shut in where officials go to Washington begging for even more help from the federal treasury. Where all of this is going to end the day. It may be that the end of the emergency will find most of the traditional set-up re-establishing it- self, more or less automatically. Or it may be that we shall have to ad- mit that the old Jeffersonian con- cept of government no longer is ap- plicable. Watch the Pork Barrel Senator George W. Norris of Ne- braska is girding himself to make an onslaught on “pork barrel” congress- men at the present session; and his fight is one in which all Americans interested in good government well might join. The senator is concerned especially about the efforts of certain politi- cians to make a patronage pie out of such projects as the Tennessee Valley scheme. It is hard to think of any- thing that could be much more dis-|- astrous. This Muscle Shoals business may be a good thing for the government to be doing and it may not; that, at the moment, isn’t the point. Neither it nor any similar government proj- ect can be permitted to become a jgtab-bag for politicians who want to give jobs to deserving constituents. If the government lets the patronage- hunters get their hands on it, it will be doomed in advance to failure.

A Battle in Prospect (Williams County Farmers Press) The government officials who dealt with the North Dakota delegation told it, in effect: “Your plan is okey in- sofar as we are concerned and we will lend you the money you need to es- tablish your factories, providing the state of North Dakota bonds to show its good intentions.

The point is to guess whether he takes his cue from the White House. Sometimes he does and some- times he doesn't. But you can be sure he reflected @ Roosevelt viewpoint when he slammed at the meat packers. Roose- velt won't “commandeer the plants and operate them,” as Rainey sug- gests, but the packers are very defi- nitely in his bad books and he feels he may have to license them under the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

But tne effects of prolonged exposure to air which is only slightly con- taminated by the deadly gas are not so well known. Chronic CO poison- ing is more common than one might think.

By traveling at night and holing up during the day the three would get out to Russian Lake easily enough. That would free him- self and Paul. Taking nothing but rifles and light canoe, they would slip away from the island and be miles gone when LeNoir and his out- fit came calling. Up the Lilluar they would watch for Sonya to pas: then fall in behind her party and let her lead them to Karakhan. Through the open flap-front of Sonya’s tent he could see her mov- ing about in the dim interior, mak- ing @ady, he believed, to leave them that night. He tried not to watch her, but his eyes kept stray- ing back. He could steel himself against her, xe could scorn her, but indifference lay beyond his power. She had meant too much to him. In the tent Sonya was putting to- gether a few personal articles for her trip, fully expecting LeNoir to come and take her away that mid- night. Her unshakable purpose kept her steady, and after that long red trail from Vetemsk to Urga the dan- gers of this trip were not formidable enough to stop her; but the dark- ness settling down, the daunting Journey ehead and the terrible un- certainty at the end of it filled her with dread. : LANCING through the flap, she saw Curt lay aside his rife and| start filling cartridge clips, evident-' ly getting ready for whatever might! come.

They would get! back to safety and get Ralph back. She longed to step outside and talk with Curt, a few last words; but she was afraid to, afraid he would cut her cold as he had been doing for the last four days. She was utterly bewildered by his atti- tude, his icy egaggerated politen his sudden and complete change to- ward-her. Something had happened, that night of his return. She could not tathom the cause of his change. It couldn't be that he knew anything about her rendez- vous with LeNoir; she herself had seen him leaning against the rocks asleep, and Paul had been in his tent both before and after she went.
