il e P P BOYS PREFER OPEN ’?Tl) CHARITY HOUSES ._Xouthful Wanderers All Hope f to Avoid Becoming “Real f Bums.” This is the fourteenth of a series of daily dispatches by a writer who traveled Dback and forth across the country to get the story of the thousands of homeless, ‘wandering boys. BY DANIEL ROBERT MAUE. ‘When a Chicago high school teacher insisted that Frankie Dwight swear on the Bible about something or other of trivial import, the youth laughed at her and said his unsupported word would be_ sufficient. ‘When this lithe son of a war ace and automobile racing driver took the second-year course in mechanics it was all “elementary stuff” to him. He had worked at mechanics. He already held his Tllinois glider's license. When he remonstrated with his instructor and the principal, these did what they could to squelch him. That was more than two years ago. Now he goes daily to sit on a stone bench under a banana tree in the inner circle of Pershing Square Los Angeles. He reads, ponders, dreams. He hopes that when he is 21 he’ll be able to qual- ity for an air pilot’s license. Even now Prankie Dwight is but “coming 20.” This is his fourth trip to California. His parents separated four years ago. Both remerried. The boy hasn't seen his mother since the divorce. He'll take nothing—"I should say not!"—from the employed father, once a good com- panion. , Knows He Is Marking Time. Frankie has been to the Far East as & deckhand. He has been to the East- ern United States as a_ hitch traveler. He will in a pinch hitch by train, but he prefers the motor. “I don't want much” he says. can get along somehow.” He has worked and will work at “any- thing except bookkeeping.” The youth knows he is marking time. “Meanwhile I'm a bum. But I'll tell 'you 1've learned more from traveling than from all my school days. The welfare joints? Huh, I wouldnt go near 'em. The park’s cleaner, if wetter and colder.” His father lost a garage business. His father's friends lost real estate. #*The neighbors were reducing their budg- ets to the last, uncompromising notch. “What have they got now?” asks Frankie. “They haven't even seen a bit of the world.” I do not try to answer. The charm- ing. laughing 19-year-old, slender, of light complexion, in no more than open shirt, black cotton trousers and worn shoes, takes up his copy of “Cyrano de Bergerac” and sets to reading. And thus on and on in their bewil- deringly varied, significant detall go the stories of the youthful hitch trav- elers, for the moment somehow lodged in Los Angeles. Wanderers Congest Los Angeles. They all but congest 50 square blocks of that city. The radial center of their haunts is the spattering fountain of green urchins in the center of Pershing Square. I have their stories in black and white. One by one the so-largely aim- less and frequently lonely young men or boys talked freely with me. They dug up their love letters. They invited me to their diaries. They gave me their free-hand drawings. And all this is a rapid series of spontaneous, en- thusiastic companionships—no more, no Jess. Should my several young nephews Jeave home to join this youthful move- ment and its newness of pleasantry, hunger and suffering, both physical and intellectual, T shall go and sit in the center of Pershing Square. Wherever else they may go, if they stay out six months or a year theyll pass down some one of the alleys of that banana- circled, sunny square block in the heart of Los Angeles. From East Coast to West Coast I went, seeKing to learn of this endless number of hitch-traveling American youths. I would see them from the inside, as no other had seen. I would have a cross-section of their bewilder- ing and bewildered number. Here I can only select from my notebooks such cross-sectioning bits as space will allow. Doesn’t Seem to Care. “I wouldn't insult my folks by going home at Christmas,” said a young un- known in Westlake Park. “I guess I'm living off the country now, but I don't seem to care any more as long as I get a place to eat and sleep. Oh, I've Jooked for work. . . . Now I've cecided I He emphasized the “y | | | last word. : “Maybe I'll sleep under a bush to- night,” said another, 19, out of a Vir- ginia high school by way of motor hitches to Detroit, Chicago and Seattle. “I'm on the bum now, I reckon, though T've always worked and only mooched rides. . . . Economic revolution? Well, I don’t know what you'd call it, but—" He went along in talk and wistful smiles for an hour. “Go into a hotel here to ask for a Job and theyll say 'vge employ only Filipinos, you know “That came from a Treckled 18.year-oid in the hitch traveler'’s convéntional wind-breaker. Out of Massachusetts and ‘“just stopping probably” in Los Angeles. Storm, 19, from Cleveland, and Har- ¥is, 20, from Houston, Tex., were going together from the small quarters of the Catholic Boys’ Club to a department store to ask again for Christmas clerk- “It's easier for the folks at home if I stay away,” said Storm. “I haven't got as low as panhandling, but I will asked for food.” “My folks are gone,” explained Har- ris. “I lived with my sister. We both lost our jobs. She got another; I dian’t. Without me she can just get along. Tl try to get home for Christ- mas, and then after a week come out here again.” Lost Job Regretted. ‘Twenty-year-old “Pike” Konkus, from Pennsylvania, gave me the nice draw- ing of a freight in the mountains that he had just completed at a crowded table in the Men’s Community Recrea- tion Center. “Those kids over there don't have to be out on the road,” he said. “I do. I wish I could get my old mail-han- drling job back again. Just ask me some place I haven't been. But if there's a guy I despise it's the professional bum. Economics? Why should I bother? Look what a mess the rest of the world has made out of them (etonomics) as it is.” “The old man said I could stay at home if I'd earn my clothes,” explained Thomas Cook (his alias), 19, out of third-year high school at Atlanta, “but X couldn’t seem to get enough work to do that even. I was down by the rail- road, met some fellows, and came on out her for the second time.” “Thomas” Jeft home for his first trip after he had struck a teacher for calling him “a thief.” We had met in the Penny Cafe- teria. I asked him if he had asked ald ©f a national welfare society. “You bet they're smart people! hey're smart enough to keep their and get their pay in money in- ed for other people’s food and shelter.” - This_hitch traveler and I walked along the street together until we met Ray Keystone, 19, out from West Vir- ginia some six months. I had met Ray earlier. Sometimes he slept, night or day, in the 5-cent or dime movies along Main street, where the great red signs aim to the passing transients Theater Open All Night.” ‘When . @ @t saw him, however, ho st 1B 1 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

In among the notes on hitching, on his dreams. on his finances, and among crude descriptions of scenery, I found a prayer, metrical and beautiful. ‘I quote here a sentence or so, misspell- ings and all: “Love is the founcation of this world. It keeps peace among the peopel, that the pzopel may live and be loved—Why must I who is so young suffer this pain and ache from a broken heart?” In such manner my cross-sectioning might go on in endless description or revelation of the young American hitch traveler. Almost through with his story and stories, I shall never be free of him. Soonsafter leaving Los An- His most cherished possessicn | geles, his goal on the West Coast, I was to see him once more, this time from the air. Excessively tired from weeks of vigi- lant traveling, without baggage other than pencil and camera, I had taken Los Angeles-St. Louis passage on a ship of “The Lindbergh Line.” The head winds had been heavy. I had relaxed in my comfortable seat and started to attempt putting bits of story together when the great plane swept down to a pause for gas on the fleld at Kingman, Ariz. v A freight crept through Kingman and then out into the hills. When we soared upward the now toy-like freight crawled below us. Yes, there he was, my late compan- ion hitch traveler! 'Mere dots, a few. along the tops of the cars and on a tanker., I felt almost guilty. Before morning, comfortable and warm, I would be in St. Louis. Days later he might be there, but he would be un- recognizable from dirt, hunger and fatigue. Tomorrow—Last article in series— Conclusions. (Copyright, 1932 Dap by North American Alliance, Inc.)

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The deadlock between President Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt over the method of co-operation on war debts and problems related to the forth- coming economic conference can be broken very simply and easily, it was pointed out here today, by the an- nouncement of the name of the man who 1s to be Secretary of State in the new administration and authorization to him to begin informal conferences here with the officials of the outgoing administration. As the matter stands today, Presi- dent-elect Roosevelt has declared he does not object to preliminary inquiries by individuals named by Mr. Hoover, but that it must be understood they do not bind the incoming administration. Mr. Hoover could think of no useful purpose that could be served in begin- ning direct conversations with foreign powers about the sub)ectuor w‘;r b\:ez.s unless foreign governments coul - sured that ‘3\2 data would be studied immediately by those in charge of for- eign policy in the next administration. Mr. Hoover says he tried to save time. and Mr. Roosevelt states now it would be a pity if time were lost. The Presi- dent-elect insists he wants to co-oper- ate. Mr. Hoover points out that Mr. Roosevelt declined “my suggestions.” Roosevelt’s Aid Desired. 1f, therefore, any preliminary work is to be done, the Hoover administration feels it should be with the knowledge and co-operation of the Roosevelt ad- ministration, even though it has not yet any suthority under the Constitution. The quibble over what is or what is not “co-operation” has become an academic question here. If the new Secretary of State can be chosen soon and if he comes to Washington immediately there will be no difficulty about what can or cannot be done between now and March 4. Presumably the new Secretary of State would answer all questions as to how | far the new administration would Jor | would not be committed and how far | the commission to be appointed would be exploratory or would really attempt negotiations. The probabilities are that even the new Secretary of State would make no decisions without conferring with the | President-elect and that the debt | problem would not be reviewed except | as to data which the foreign govern- ments may desire to present at this | time. The greatest usefulness which would | come from the appearance on the scene | here of the man who is to serve as Sec- | retary of State would be in arranging the program for the World Economic Conference. ‘There is more urgency with respect to the naming of delegates for that meeting than the settlement of a formula for handling the debt ques- tion. Parley Then Possible. It is believed here that Mr. Roose- velt was disappointed that Mr. Hoover dropped the whole business after the exchange of telegrams. The deadlock is likely to continue, however, so far | as Mr. Hoover is concerned, but it | might be broken if the President-elect | were to notify Secretary of State Stim- | son just who will represent him in the | making of preliminary plans for the | handling of foreign questions. | Mr. Stimson probably would be will- ing to visit his successor in New York | or elsewhere apart from the official precincts of Washington, 30 that the parleys may be carried on informally if desired. For the moment the whole | thing seems to have passed out of the | hands of the two Presidents and will be | hardled as a matter of possible co-op- | eretion between present and future cabinet members.

By the Associated Press. Senator Borah's Christmas message is that “This Christmas belongs to the poor, to the needy.” Speaking in connection with the Na- tional Press Club’s greetings to the world, the Idaho Senator said a large part of present difficulties is the “logical ‘result of political questions which interfere with the normal opera- tion of economic laws.” “The combined effort of public and private enterprise will be needed in this great emergency,” he said. “I know of no finer way to pass this Christmas week than in our respective communi- ties and according to our respective abilities to renew our activities and tq consecrate anew ourselves to the cause that is as sacred as any cause in whicl it is possible to enlist. . “The appeal comes home to each and all. In the respon.. we shall give we shall find the highest measure of en- joyment which the Christmas of 1932 can give.” Borah said “If civilization is to be saved, markets must be restored, mone- tary systems re-established, trade and commerce rehabilitated.” “This is & stupendous task,” he added, “put it is not beyond the human power to achileve.” MIDSHIPMAN KILLE IN CROSSING CRASH Five Others Injured in Accident on Way to Spend Holidays in Georgia.

ST LOUIS, December 24.—There are 10 times as many homeless women now in St. Louls seeking assistance as there were this time last year, according to the organized agencies. A bureau for homeless women is operated by the United Relief Agencies with three or four temporary shelters where they can be sent until employ- ment is found or they are placed else- where. Rellef work is handled in the main by paying their room rent and board in private families. The majority of them are elderly, al- though all ages and classes are repre- sented, and they include women with years of steady employment behind them who are now out of work, their savings exhausted. Many of this class hesitate to ask assistance until sickness forces them and the need for medical aid or hospitalization becomes acute.
