Both Houses Clear Slate Of Own Bills
Topeka, (INS) — With calendars cleared of their own measures, both houses of the Kansas Legislature took up the task of disposing of each others bills which must be acted upon before adjournment next Thursday.
The only must legislation remaining is contained in the appropriations measures, but several bills of outstanding importance are pending. Chief among them is the senate approved measure to place Kansas labor unions under strict state regulation and control.
Despite efforts of labor leaders to block the bill by offering to submit voluntarily to its major provisions, the stage was being set for an effort to push the proposal through to approval of the house. It may come up for final roll call vote the first of next week leaders said today.
Gov. Andrew Schoeppel had no statement to make today on the move of the labor leaders to halt enactment of the measure in the house.

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor,
It seems to me that we, here on the Hill, do not quite know what patriotism is—that is in all of its forms. While I was at my home in Emporia this weekend, I noticed an entirely different attitude toward the men in the armed services stationed there.
In Emporia there are 500 Army Air Corps cadets and they have been stationed there only a little over a week. Already the town is doing everything possible to entertain these cadets and make their stay in Emporia enjoyable. On Sunday everyone of these cadets, except those quarantined or for some other reason was unable to be out, was invited to some private home or sorority or fraternity house to dinner. William Allen White entertained 14 of them at his home; and they were not invited to eat and run—they spent the entire afternoon with the Whites. After talking with several of them I learned that this is the type of entertainment they enjoy, being able to go into private homes or sorority and fraternity houses and feel as part of the group. This home life is the one thing they see very little of while in the army or navy; and it is the one thing they yearn for—as does everyone who is away from home for any length of time.
So why don't we remember a little more often that these men who are stationed here on our campus are sacrificing everything for us; and perhaps we could do a few seemingly small things for them which would make their stay here considerably more enjoyable.

Emma Niedermeyer, College senior, said, "Why can't a USO be set up here with national funds as it is in other towns? Even if we don't have a USO, why can't the Community building be open so that the sailors could go there and have some sort of entertainment? The Navy men could take their dates and dance to a nickelodeon or play games. At the present time there is no way for the men to meet girls."
Marie Miller, assistant advisor to women, said, "I think that we aren't handling the situation very well. There should be an organized plan

The main difficulty in the University sponsoring entertainment for the sailors would be the lack of room. As far as the University is concerned, the men would be welcome to the affairs such as concerts and lectures."

MORALITY PROBLEM--at
One solution might be for Lawrence to make an effort to make the transient workers feel at home. People who lack the "belonging" feeling, don't care what they do, what happens to them. If they are jailed for some reason or other and the papers carry the story—so what? No one knows them, no one cares.
Sailors away from home, stationed in a town that can offer no place for recreation or entertainment but movies and places to drink—even if Kansas is a dry state—have the same "what - the - hell" attiude. When the Community building was closed through lack of funds, civic-minded citizens sighed, regretted it, and did nothing about getting the funds. Drunkenness increased 100 per cent when this one and only organized entertainment stopped, local naval officers declare.
While serious crime in Lawrence is at a minimum now—everybody is working and busy—juvenile delinquency is on the increase, the Lawrence chief of police' reports. Most people are making more money, and they don't know how to save or spend it properly. Children eight and ten years old are working at adult jobs, are kept working for hours after they should be in bed. Parents allow their children to go to midnight shows.

School girls from 12 to 16 years of age are becoming involved with sailors—and who's to blame? Not only the sailors. Here today, gone in four months, with a not-very-cheery future ahead of them, why not have all the fun you can while you can? Not only the girls. With parents away from home, no one to restrain you, and nothing to do for amusement, why not go with sailors? After all, they're brothers and sons of people just like your own family. The parents? Perhaps. But you can't blame parents for trying to do their patriotic duty and at the same time make more money than they've probably ever had before.
The real blame seems to fall on the community, which apparently has lost all sense of responsibility in providing something to relieve the situation. Lawrence officials did everything in their power to obtain a defense plant near their city, and they succeeded. In fact, they seem to have succeeded too well. It is now up to these same officials to provide a remedy, and a quick one, for the problems they have laid in their own laps and heretofore have chosen to ignore.
