restored) give NYA at least $44,000,000 to carry on. The house voted it only $3,000, 000—with which to liquidate. Rep. Arthur. J. Engel (R. Mich.) points out that the federal government will still be training 7,500,000 persons for war jobs in the fiscal year 1944 under other training plans already in operation. Educators Aroused
Senator Kenneth D. McKellar (D. Tenn.), who killed the CCC last year, is reported ready to do the same for NYA now. He is acting chairman of the senate appropriations committee, which has the NYA bill. His office has received as many letters asking him to kill NYA as that agency has been able to muster on the other side. One reason now being advanced for halting NYA is the resentment it has aroused among educators. Clement T. Malan, Indiana state superintendent of public instruction, in a letter to Indiana members of the senate and house, cited NYA’s budget-approved request for $55,390,000 and asserted: “Obviously this would build up a powerful group of federal employees, not responsible .to local communities or to state systems of public. schools, who would duplicate the work of public schools developed over more than half a century. “This federal system would seek to do the things the schools have done, are doing and are in an excellent position to do better in the future than any new agency, because of the experience, personnel and accountability of the local communities of the long-established public school system. “Those of us who as school administrators or patrons have had experiences with various agencies in this nature, controlled from Wash-
ington, believe strongly that NYA!
and WPA, loth created as depres-
sion emergency remedies, should be | liquidated in fact as well as in|
name.” ‘Let's Protect Schools’
He charged that NYA proposed
to “exploit boys and girls of our]
nation for political purposes” and “indoctrinate all school of America.” He concluded: “1 wish to register a vigorous protest against this needless, heedless exploitation of the taxpayer, the children, and the fundamental principle of government vested in states’ right. .
“Let’s protect our schools against : a pseudo-system of public free edu-
cation under NYA.” Mr. Malan is a Republican. Data regarding a survey made of NYA in New Jersey by the state Chamber of Commerce was inserted in the record by Rep. Charles A. Eaton (R. N. J.) This showed that NYA cut its training centers from 19 to 5 “because of decreases in enrollments.” «VANE In those remaining, the survey report showed “gross mismanagement and waste of both manpower and equipment.”
AGID BURNS FATAL T0 6-YEAR-OLD BOY
A six-year-old boy died last night from burns received when he playfully poured carbolic acid gontained in a trash bottle over his head yesterday afternoon. William Donald Milanovitch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milan Milanovitch, 1907 N. New Jersey st., picked the bottle from a trash can in the alley near his home where he was playing. Pulling the cork from the bottle he poured the liquid on his head and then began to scream frantically. Attracted by the screams, a passerby, Charles Wilson, 1706 Central ave., took the boy to the home of Olin Fisher, 318 E 18th st. Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Fisher removed the boy’s clothing. He was taken to where he
Fisher were treated for arm burns. The child is survived by his parents and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. V, Barron and Mike Milanovitch.
SENATE UPHOLDS
ACCUSED FCC MEN
WASHINGTON, June 35 (U. P).|
—The house and senate were deadlocked today over an amendment to an emergency deficiency appropriation bill prohibiting salary payments to three government employees accused of being subversive. The senate, for a second time, rejected a house amendment banishing from the public payroll two federal communications commission propaganda analysts — Goodwin B. Watson and William E. Dodd Jr. son of the former ambassador to Germany — and the 73-year-old government secretary to the Virgin islands, Robert Morse Lovett. - The house was scheduled to consider the senate’s rejection again today, and there was every indication it would insist on the amendment, as it has on two previous occasions.

Along Pacific Front.
WASHINGTON, June 25 (U. P.). —The Japanese are demonstrating a severe case ‘of the jitters aver prospects: of - a powerful * American thrust in the Pacific. Informed sources reported today that the Japanese are engaged in extensive patrol and reconnoissance operations all along the Pacific battle front. This activity, they said, indicates that the enemy is uncertain where the blow will fall. That a powerful American offensive is in the making has been welladvertised to the Japanese. Dispatches from the Pacific and official utterances have made this clear to the enemy. Even Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox announced in a recent speech that one of the greatest U. S. fleets ever assembled in the South Pacific is getting ready for action. Recent navy communiques have reported fairly regular reconnoissance flights by Japanese planes over the American-held southeastern Solomon islands. This activity is not confined to the Solomons. Japanese patrol vessels and planes have been sighted in’ many other areas, apparently seeking concentrations of American naval forces.
~The federal ‘grand. jury was to make another report today, possibly involving ‘war fraud charges. William A. Carter, Washington, assigned to the war frauds division in the attorney general's office, has been in the federal building for several weeks.

Jackson, secretary-manager of the First Federal Savings and Loan association of Richmond, pleaded guilty in federal court to four out of seven counts charging embezzlement. The 38-year-old executive will be sentenced Wednesday for the shortage of $42,644 of the Home Owners’ Loan Corp. funds :

Newspaper Claims That's The Number Hit Since -
‘Pearl Harbor.
LOS ANGELES, June 25 (U. P.).— Naval and coast guard forces have sunk at least nine and possibly several more Jap submarines off the west coast since Pearl Harbor, the Los Angeles Times said today. The newspaper said its records
were based upon substantial dats, |
entirely unconfirmed by the navy. Navy headquarters at Washing= ton said the story had been passed on but not confirmed, “The ¢oast guard patrol boat Hermes Ras a gold star on its funnel, signify»g that she sunk a sube marine, presumably off the Calle fornia coast, and is said to be entitled to another for successfully dropping depth charges off the Cali fornia shores a month later, the Times reported. 8 The coast guard cutter Perseds also is reported to have sent an underwater enemy to the bottom a month after war started, the paper said. A California commercial airline pilot is reported to have sighted an enemy submarine on the surfce. He radioed the alarm and havy planes from San Diego sank the
sub, according to the Times story.
