A. F. of L. Aid Speaks

" Robert J. Watt, international representative of the American. Federation of Labor, declared that “although ‘labor has been on the opposite “side of the fence from many of those who talk about free enterprise, I am confident labor is in favor of free enterprise, as long as it is free and enterprising. But anyone who has had any experience with American business during the

NEW WELFARE BOARD g PLAN CHALLENGED

old-age assistance should be made a preferred claim against the estate of a recipient. This plan was formerly in effect but was abolished by recent action of the state legislature, Opposition also was voiced by Mrs. Goodwin to the commission's proposal that county welfare directors be taken out from under the merit system and hired solely by the county welfare boards. “This,” said Mrs, Goodwin, “would accomplish the very end which the commission says it wished to avoid ‘a program which exposes innocent citizens to constant whims of political shuffling.’”

said was another matter and would depend on the legislation itself. “Asked flatly whether he thought the training should be military, the President posed several questions of his own, asking whether instruc-

tion in cooking or carpentry could be considered as military training.

“Lessons in Cleanliness

He said that training after the war would accomplish a lot just in teaching many boys how to keep clean, how to brush their teeth. The President said the appalling number of selective service rejections for physical reasons in this war had shown the mothers of the country that knowledge of this type in their boys was highly necessary. He pointed out that the boys of the civilian conservation corps did not. have military training, but benefitted greatly nevertheless, and that a program tailored along these lines would mean that in .case of war we would have a much larger percentage of boys who could defend their country.

Catholics Object

Told that some factions wanted to carry out the training program in the national guard in periods of two or three months a year or in weekly drill’ periods, the President said flatly it will not work, Meanwhile, Catholic church and peace organization officials went on record against peacetime scription,The anfual assembly of Catholic archbishops and bishops adopted a resolution opposing early enactment of permanent conscription. They maintained that consideration of the problem should wait until after the war so a clearer picture of the international situation could be eblained and the views of men at the front expressed. Five peace organizations, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, National Council for the Prevention of War, War Resisters League, Women's Committee to Oppose Conscription and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, opposed permanent conscription on religious, practical and constitu tional grounds. ®

Naval attaches returning to Beriin were quoted as saying: “Look out for our new submarine offensives. They'll be super-offen-sives that will take everyone by surprise.”

Operate Far Off Shore

Though only a small number of submarines so far have been equipped to launch robot bombs, the dispatch said, the substantial number of missiles which they could fire would make the hazardous trans-Atlantic voyage worthwhile, The dispatoh said the submarines and ships would operate a considerable distance offshore. The V-1 bombs used by the Germans against Britain were believed to have an extreme range of 200 to 250 miles, but this could be increased by enlarging the fuel capacity, They carry a ton of explosives.

“I put him in a little hole and covered him up with leaves so no one could see him and took the wagon back home,” he said. “I got some rags and cleaned up the blood around the kitchen where he was shot.” Police said questioning of the other four boys at the O'Neill home at the time of the shooting revealed that there had been a quarrel at school yesterday.

According to Police Chief May,

boys went to O'Neill's home and that the four others followed them. “The four boys who followed them said O'Neill and Perry suddenly appeared on the front porch of the O'Neill home each armed with a rifle and threatened that if any of them moved they would shoot,” Chief May said.

Shot in House Heard

The four boys said they stood still out in the yard while O'Neill and Perry went into the house and barricaded the. doors, putting the muzzles of their rifles out through open windows.

Presently the four boys outside said they heard a shot inside and that the O'Neill boy came out and asked them to come in.

When the four boys saw the Perry boy lying in a pool of blood they all ran home, Young O'Neill told police that when the Perry boy went to the rear kitchen door to lock it, he accidentally fired his rifle.

Police Find Discrepancy

Police said they were unable to get a clear story of just how O'Neill happened to pull the trigger of his gun and how he happened to be pointing it at the ‘Perry boy when he had been pointing it out the window. . Police first learned of the shooting when a sister of the dead boy called and said some neighbor boys reported there had been a shooting at the O'Neill home. The O'Neill lad lived with foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. .George O'Neill, since he was five days old. Although he had taken the family name he had never been legally adopted. : . Police said the boy had ‘been in trouble several times before in connection with an arson case and with theft cases.
