Welfare Groups Given New Army Task Men who rro into the new army will never know one feature fea-ture that was a commonplace to the men of 1917-18. That is the welfare centers conducted by the Y. M. C. A., Salvation Army, K. of C, Jewish Welfare Board, and similar organizations. organiza-tions. As the new cantonments rise, each has a recreation center, cen-ter, but it will be army-built and army-controlled. The writing writ-ing paper, the exhortations to write home, the piano in the corner, the dog-eared magazines and books, the lounging chairs and checker sets will be administered by the army itself, through a Morale Division in Washington. Social workers and National Youth Administration employes will take the place of the "Y-Workers" and Salvation Army Lassies Lass-ies of the World War.

They are being urged to minister to the recreational and spiritual needs of the soldiers outside the military reservations, in the hours when the men are on pass and not under direct military control. con-trol. The army considers the problem of the young man on leave in a large and strange city with no place to go and nothing noth-ing constructive to do as one more worthy the attention of the private welfare organizations than that of recreation during dur-ing off-hours in the camps themselves. There has been considerable confusion among welfare groups willing and anxious to offer their services, yet uncertain uncer-tain as to just what they may properly do. Only the general lines have been laid down: that "legitimate and appropriate services by civilian welfare- agencies are to be solicited, wall the only stipulation that there be no more installations on military reservations." Permanent installations, like the Y's elaborate one on Governor's Island in New York, will not be disturbed. But as a general -policy new ones will not bo set up. Organizations seeking to contribute to the spiritual and physical well-being of the soldiers will do it in town, not in camp. . ' - The field for such work is a large one. It is hard for military mili-tary authorities to -control the activities of men on pass, harder still to control the places of entertainment which cater pect to tne soictier trade but which are outside military jurisdiction. jurisdic-tion. , A large field for beneficial welfare work among soldiers is still open to private organizations. But the sooner that field is defined, the better, for important facilities are proo-ably proo-ably being held up simply because welfare groups do not yet know exactly how they may be of the greatest service. Lack of Money May Stall Food Costs Investigation BY BRUCE CATTOX (Daily Herald Washington Correspondent ) WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 Thur-man Thur-man Arnold's investigation of food costs is in danger of getting stranded because of conflicting purposes within the administration. administra-tion. . Hampered by lack of men and money. Arnold's anti-trust division divis-ion is not going to be able to put the food cost probe into effect on a scale comparable, Say, to its recent study of building costs unless it gets an increaA? in funds. Congress might Vote the money next January. It will do so only if there is an unmistakable public pub-lic demand for it. Meanwhile, the President could allocate the money from the emergency fund at his disposal. But the defense commission com-mission is cold to the whole investigation,' in-vestigation,' the Department of Agriculture is not much warmer, and there is so far no sign that any allocation of funds is in pros- A serious shortage of people without colds is reported in numerous sections of the, country.

BROAD DRIVK FOR SUCCESS The anti-trust division kept around 100 men busy on its building build-ing costs probe. So far it has been able to muster fewer than a fifth of that force for its food costs study. It is working at present on 18 food cases, some of whic'h can get only part-time attention at-tention from the men who are handling them. It has at least 100 more cases which need investigation, inves-tigation, and more are turning up every week. And the point of the whole thing, according to Mr. Arnold, is that any investigation of this kind to be successful needs to go Speaking of Preparedness- 0 " tS THAT SO TH6 TROUtiLE THAT MAWV PEOPLE UrXCK FORTESlCTHT!

The building costs drive got results, not merely because the division was working in eight or ten cities at once, but because it was widely know that there was going to be action all o'er the country. In many a city where anti-trust investigators had not even gone to work, practices which tended to keep building costs up were abandoned simply because people "got religion" when they saw how sweeping the whole thing was. An investigation that limps and goes slowly is effective only on the specific cases th.it are actually taken into court. So far, public reaction to the investigation of food costs has been favorable, judging by letters and other communications received re-ceived in the anti-trust division.

The commissions consumer division, under Miss Harriet Elliott, El-liott, has already sounded off on the subject. Yet the commission hasn't got enthusiastic over the anti-trust division's investigation. On the contrary, Miss Elliott's group inclines toward some sort of effort to keep food prices in line by consultation and agreement agree-ment among the processors, handlers, hand-lers, shippers, etc. At the same time the Agriculture Agricul-ture Department is leery largely because of the fear that anti-trust action might upset some of the department's arrangements to get fair prices for the; farmer, especially espe-cially in the rield of milk. Chief trouble in Washington is a difference in the basic philosophies philoso-phies of the Agriculture and Justice Jus-tice Departments. Existing milk price structure has fluid milk, a necessity, carrying practically all of the overhead, while . surplus milk (used in ice cream, cheese, etc.) carries practically none of it. justice Department would like to see that situation reversed. Agriculture accepts it, but works to v make sure that the farmer doesn't get the low surplus-milk price for his Whole production.
