New York Speaker Says Wartime England Proving Thesis of Public Aid in Talk
Public welfare is a vital factor in active wartime,
This is the belief of David C. Adie, commissioner of the department of social welfare in the state of New York, who cited the British public as an example of his thesis in speaking before the Public Welfare organization section of Monday’s Institute of Government.
This section, as stated in its ob-
jectices, “hopes to establish a few criteria looking toward a better organized community to meet social agency problems.” Adie, in whose agency $100,000 is spent for research, comes well equipped with all the available facts in public welfare organization.
According to him, public welfare departments will be coordinated and will be changed to social welfare departments. Whether we like it or not, one over-all state organization is coming. This state agency or social welfare department must have in its organization a public assistance field, social work without public assistance, accounting, field service, and community organization. Private agencies can relate themselves to these functions, but cannot do them. Their greatest contribution will be in pioneer work.
GOALS NAMED	,
Adie affirmed that the goals w* are organizing in public welfare are health, security, economic security, educational, and cultural and spiritual security. Although he labeled himself as a great believer in local administration of welfare, he emphasized that the local group must be big enough to take the responsibility. They must recognize the necessity of doing away with patronage in the selection of personnel. “Only the keenest minds, most sensitive spirits and best trained persons are fit to be public servants. There is no greater calling than to be a servant of the public,” he said.
In order to obtain the best results, welfare must be organized so as to get the three levels of government: local, state, and federal, working together. Although, “in its operation all government must get as local as possible,” to guarantee uniformity of standards, there must be state supervision with the federal government coordinating, also establishing uniformity and standards, and equalizing the costs because of its wider tax base.
WELFARE IMPORTANT
Adie believes that “in the next 10 to 30 years, public welfare is going to be terribly disturbing to the government—therefore, terribly important. The public agency is going to carry terrific loads in relief, insurance and work. There (Continued on Page Four)

Nelson Cites Slum Problem
Delegate Discusses City Housing Bills
"California has its slums just as definitely as such eastern cities as New York and Philadelphia,” asserted Norris Nelson, member of the Los Angeles City Council, at a combined meeting of public health and housing sections of the Institute yesterday.
“The difference is merely in types,” he said, “for in the East they build upward while we build outward, but they are slums nevertheless.”
EXPLAINS OPPOSITION
Councilman Nelson explained his recent opposition to certain housing bills proposed by the city council by saying that the solution to the housing problem was not simply to build more government-supervised houses but rather to build correctly and thoughtfully.
“We have seen many examples In the past few months of nations that have fallen because of a lack of loyalty on the part of their citizens,” he declared.
TELLS PROBLEMS
“How may we expect loyalty from people who feel they have little to be loyal to? That is exactly the way many of our citizens in slum and shack areas feel.
“Our problem is to help these people to help themselves, and with proper enforcement of proper laws we will have a better America corn-continued on Page Four)
Dr* Henry Hazard Reveals California, New York Lead Under Alien Registration
To prove “there is nothing new under the sun,” Dr. Henry B. Hazard of the Immigration and Naturalization service, Washington, D. C., who is addressing the section on Immigration and Naturalization this week, pointed out in Monday’s session that as early as 1798 a law was passed in this country requiring aliens to register.
The success of the alien registration act of June 28, 1940, which is “a monument to the unified spirit of a democratic union,” according to Dr. Hazard, is largely due to the humane and friendly manner of its administration by the post office department and to the cooperation of public officials and private agencies working with the loreign-born in publicizing and in explaining the purpose of the act as well as in assisting foreign individuals in complying with the requirements. Dr. Hazard further commented that he visited headquarters here last year, and was delighted by the attitude shown.

moral character and have close relatives here who are economically dependent on them.
Alien registrations forms numbering 4,741,971 have been received at headquarters in Washington as of January 10, 1941. California with 11 per cent registered aliens is second only to New York state, where 25 per cent of the alien population resides. Dr. Hazard indicated that these figures should

STATISTICS REVEALED
Probably the highlight of the Monday session were the statistics revealed by Dr. Hazard which are an estimate based on a random sampling of 200,000 registration cards. If this sampling is indicative of the whole area, we may expect to believe that 85 per cent of “our guests” in the United States reside in cities of 10,000 population or over; more than 80 per cent husband, wife, parent, or children in this country; more than 70 per cent are believed to have come to this country before the quota laws of 1924; and over 90 per cent of our illiterate are over 45 years old and came before 1917, when the literacy test was set up.

Meyer Warns of Plague Cycle
Plague* of wild rodents can be suppressed to a great extent, but it will recur in cyclical manner every four to eight years, Dr. Karl F. Meyer, director of the George William Hooper Foundation, San Francisco, told Sanitarians at the Instute yesterday.
“And 1941 is one of the cycle years when we could expect to have plague and plenty of it at that.
“We must educate the public to avoid handling of wild rodents, alive or dead, for all sources of piague trace ultimately back to the wild rodents.
AVOID CONTACT
“Although we have been able, scientifically, to get a more accurate check on the occurrence of plague through the new methods of examination of the flea by innoculation than the old system of anatomical study of diseased rodents, it is far more important to avoid intimate contact with rodents than to be scared to death of fleas.
“A great deal of recent information has been collected as the result of new methods.
DIAGNOSIS NOT EASY
Diagnosis of plague is not an easy thing, and probably there are more cases around than we know of. The sixteen cases in western states since 1934, all but five of which were in California, may represent only a fraction of the true picture.
“The critical turning point in the history of plague came in 1934, when it was shown that the plague existed in wild rodents in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Subsequent years revealed existence of the plague in Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.
No serious problem has yet developed in areas adjacent to military encampments, so far as providing recreational facilities are concerned, according to a trio of speakers at the Institute Monday.
“It is still largely a theoretical problem with us when anything is said about providing recreation for the 40-to 50,000 sailors when the U. S. fleet is at home in Long Beach,” stated Walter L. Scott, director of municipal and school recreation for the city of Long Beach. "The ships are everywhere but in Long Beach at the present.” PREPARATIONS MADE
“Though we have prepared thoroughly t,o help men on week-end leaves to Los Angeles, the largest number we have ever had here on any one week-end was only 2000 men,” asserted James McCandless, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
“Most of these are adults who know what they want to do before they arrive in Los Angeles and do not need to have special facilities provided for their recreation.” COMMUNITIES PROVIDE “Communities such as Riverside, San Luis Obispo, and San Diego, adjacent to large army cantonments have met their responsibilities well,” stated Grey M. Lusty, state recreation supervisor for the Works Progress administration.
Scott pointed out that the navy is handling its own recreational and sports activities for the enlisted men, and all three speakers emphasized that the influx of defense workers will prove a heavier strain on the communities than will the camps and bases. Long Beach, for instance, anticipates a growth in population of 50,000 in the next 12 months, more than is normal in a 10 jear period.
Graph Exhibition Shews Taxpayer's Total for Locality
Your attention is directed to the two large boards in the lobby of Bovard Administration building, containing a number of interesting graphs. These are being exhibited by the California Taxpayers Association. Among the various graphs to be seen are several of importance. Two of the most colorful of these are the ones on total tax collections in California including federal, state, and local collections, and the companion one on per capita collections of taxes, similarly broken down. These show not only the actual collections 1932-1940 but 1940-1941 and 1941-1942 estimates. Another interesting one, from the standpoint of persons interested in the grants-in-aid programs of the state and federal governments, is the one showing the tremendous increase since 1900 in the state subsidies to local governments in
