A miserable picture of the low | | economic status of America’s farm labors, with the lowest incomes and the Nation, was presented today to the La Follette Civil Liberties Com- mittee by Dr. C. Horace Hamilton, Agriculture Department expert. Farm laborers’ “families are so large.” Dr. Hamilton said, “that the death of an infant or a still birth l1s frequently considered a blessing, | not too well disguised—like the North Carolina woman who said| | she had so many children because | she never had any ‘graveyard’ luck.” | The Senate committee is collect- | ing a mass of expert and experience information on the problems of sta- | tionary farm workers and farm| tenants. | “The significance of the size and | composition of the farm laborer’s | household is simply that the bread | winners in such households have | more dependents to support and that they must do this on an average | income lower than that of any cupational group in the Natiol Dr. Hpamilton said. Problem Seen as National. “Since the farm laborer popula- | tion makes up at least 20 per cent “of the farm population, and since they are reproducing at a higher rate than other groups, the problem | of child welfare among such groups becomes a national problem.” Dr. Hamilton urged the develop-~ ment of a national program to im- | prove the economic status of the| | farm laborers. They are not, he| said, assisted by the farm security | Program, which assists farm tenants | | and agricultural unemployed. | The Federal acreage-control pro- | i gram contributes to the farm labor | unemployment problem, Dr. Harold | Hoffsommer, iologist of Louisiana | State University, told the committee. { He cited the case of a Louisiana 1 cotton farm, which in 1930 had seven tenants. The cotton-control pro- | gram cut from the total acreage to | the point where the owner concluded | there would not be enough cotton | to provide equable shares for all. Now the farm has four tenants, Dr. | Hoffsommer said. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1940. Boy Injured in Junk Yard Wins Retrial of $15,000 Suit |Dinners Held by D. C. Court to Decide Liability Of Owner for Damages A District Court jury will be asked shortly to decide whether a junk yard is such an “attractive nuisance” as to render its owner liable for damages if a child gets hurt while playing there. The United States Court of Ap- peals today reversed and sent back to the lower court a case covering this situation, in which 11-year-old Willie L. Eastburn of the 1300 block PI L street SE. is attempting to col- lect $15000 from Jacob Levin of the 1300 block of L street S.E. for injuries allegedly sustained in 1936. The boy sued in District Court, claiming he was injured while play- ing in Mr. Levin's junk yard. The trial court directed a verdict for the property owner. Attorneys Max Miller and Albert Brick, who represented young East- burn, said junked autos made the yard a favorite playground for the boys. They declared young East- burn was climbing on a car and was ripping off ‘cloth to make a hat when the car tilted and threw him against broken glass. Em- ployes of the yard had permitted the boy to take cloth from the cars, according to witnesses. The boy’s mother testified at the trial that although he had been punished for going to the junk yard, “the attraction there seemed too great for him to resist.” The appellate court’s opinion was written by Associate Justice Henry W. Edgerton. Hearing the case with him were Associate Justices Harold M. Ste- phens and Wiley Rutledge. C. I. 0. Executive Board To Meet Here June3 - Under call of President John L. Lewis, the Executive Board of the C. I. O. will meet in Washington June 3, it was announced today. The board has a membership of 48, rep- resenting all the C. I. O. interna- tional unions. The board will consider routine business, it was said at C. I. O. head- quarters. The call has caused some speculation over the possibility that the board will consider further the role of the C. I. O. in the 1940 presi- dential campaign. Mr. Lewis has already warned that he will urge a | third party movement if the Dem- ocrats fail to nominate a ticket sat- isfactory to labor and the ‘“com- mon people.” In such case he favors the calling of a convention of dele- gates representing labor, liberal farm organizations, youth, Negroes | and the old-age pensioners. Sayers Named Director Of Bureau of Mines President Roosevelt today nomi- nated Dr. Royd R. Sayers of the United States Public Health Service to be director of the United States | Bureau of Mines. | Early last month Secretary of the | Interior Ickes had appointed Dr.| Sayers acting director of the burenul to succeed Dr. John W. Finch, who | resigned. A native of Indiana, Dr. Sayers makes his home in Alexandria, Va. Many Necessities Lacking. Dr. Hamilton said that in the | case of most farm labor families, | housing. diets, medical facilities and | other necessities are lacking in| proper quantities | Few of them own cows, hogs and chickens to provide home food, he | said. | On the matter of farm laborers' | investments, Dr. Hamilton said: “A | prevalent type of insurance carried | by laborers provides only for burial expenses. Even though the de- ceased farm laborer may not get to | enjoy the fruits of this type of sav- ings, his family, no doubt, gains | something in prestige and in com- | He is a senior surgeon in the Pub- lic Health Service and has been with the service since 1914.

Pointing out that pacifists repre- sent only 2 per cent of the men registered for war in England, the church leader stated that even such people in churches and universities admit there is no way to resist the | | force of the “totalitarian menace” except by force. Conscientious ob- Jectors, he said, were receiving fair treatment before tribunals. As chairman of the Congrega- tional Unlon of England and Wales, Dr. Peel described visits among British and French soldiers near front lines. Chaplains of different denominations and races were work- ing harmoniously together, he found. Dr. Peel was introduced to the large audience by Dr. Howard Stone Anderson. pastor. The speaker has been in this country since January appearing before Congregational groups. He plans to sail for Eng- land next week.
