The wandering boy of the old ballad has a modern mate whose homeless plight is even more pathetic—a hitch hiker who really must hike, and across a country almost devoid of odd Jobs and charity for the transient. His numbers have grown alarmingly, as the pinch of the depression Is felt in homes everywhere, and Just now the on-to-Washlngton Impetus of the bonus march is making the Capital the focal point for a problem National in scope. Yet the open road has rarejy offered such meager opportunity, motorists are war* of giving lifts to strangers, cities arc husbanding even temporary Jobs for the local unemployed, and charity agencies are taxed to the utmost by purely local demands. Old Shoes Are Evidence. Piles of tattered shoes abandoned in rest camps throughout the country bear mute testimony to the hardships of tramping the paved highways, and many cities can offer only "primitive" accommodations for the transient. This was the picture given a group of Washington social workers yesterday at a meeting in the Burlington Hotel called to consider the problem by the local chapter of the Travelers Aid So ciety.

Relief and the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor, the National Association of Travelers Aid Societies has confirmed its own reports of vast numbers of young people wandering from community to community. The President’s Committee, it was explained, has Invited the society to focus the attention of the public on the transient youth problem to pro vide accommodation and transportation home for the wanderers, and to In fluence the young people of Washington against leaving home in search of work. 900 Register in Month. Last month, the meeting was In formed. the local bureau of the society, 1418 Eye street, regisered more than 900 transient youths and there are In dications that the movement of bonus marchers will bring at least twice that many minors to the District during June. Dr. A. W. McMlllen of the Social Serv ice Administration School, University of Chicago, told the meeting that a partially completed study of the prob lem has convinced him of the need for immediate action. Boys leave home, Dr. McMlllen said, because of the impression that the road offers glowing adventure and a quick means of travel by hitch-hiking, or be cause they are too proud to live on charity and know their absence would mean one less mouth to Teed. Motorists, however, have been fright ened by banditry and stories of the liability incurred by picking up free passengers, and are refusing lifts. The NEW!

All terminals are thoroughly policed these days, Dr. McMlllen said, and ho boes must risk swinging on and off at some point outside the terminals—an added hazard which has cost untold lives. The slender charity resources of most communities are already taxed to the utmost, and the Imposition of outsiders upon the local agencies Is resented. The result, the speaker said, is that transients must sleep In Jails, city halls or accept the primitive conditions of the tramp jungles. While youths on the road today are of a higher type than In the past, they run the moral hazard of acquiring a "get by” philosophy. The meeting agreed to delegate a committee to enlist agencies In the Dis trict In an effort to provide suitable accommodations for transient youths and to urge local boys to remain at home. Efforts will be made to provide larger recreational faculties, more Interesting and practical school work and emer gency activities of one type and another as an added inducement for the youth of Washington to remain at home. Speakers said that young petmle of all communities throughout the United States will fare better at this time by staying at home, where they are known and where social agencies already have assumed the responsibility of caring for the needy. Employers give preference to local applicants, It was pointed out, and the home influence is most needed in times of financial stress. The committee will be appointed In the near future to work with Com munity Chest and Independent ag$ncl$s for the establishment cf a central clear ing or application bureau, a case work staff, lodging and food faculties, and to preach the "stay at home" gospel locally. . _ ORD PRESTON - ■ - N President /• — There Is No Substitute for a savings account.
