1-4 New Racket Being
Operated In The State
A flew racket being operated on a
statewide scale, with the apparent Intent
of pinching small amounts of
money from penniless families In exchange
for false promises of employment
by the National Youth administration.
was disclosed today by S^ate
Youth Administrator Koger L. Coe.
In one instance. Doctor Coo said, a
man purporting to be a salesman for
a fictional publishing company In Columbia
sold a Sumter county girl a
dictionary, a magazine subscription
and one othor book, 011 the strength
of the promise that purchase of the
outlay would entitle her to an NY A
school scholarship paying six dollurs
a month. .
In another, he skid, a man sold the
mother of an Aiken county girl instead
of the girl herself, operating
the same trick as the one in Sumter
county.
In both fuses, Doctor Coe said, the
"salesman" obtained a dollar down,
Instructed the dupes of his racket to
write the state N\rA office in Columbia,
and then vanished. The man, the
magaiines and the books iiever showed
up again, he said, and naturally,
110 NY A scholarship either.
Dootor Coe issued a warning today
to school youths, and parents of such
youths, In this state to pay no attention
whatever to offers of this sort.
He said that NYA school Jobs could
bo obtained through application to
the authorities of the respective
schools. The school officials, he emphasized,
are the only persons permitted
to select youths for NYA
work.
No NYA representative, he added,
is authorized to sell anything to anyone,
and every person sent out on
NYA official business carries a card
Identifying him or her as a representative
of the National Youth administration.
Winston Churchill, Britain's new
war chief, asserts that "without victory
there Is no survival" In the war
against Germany. He said he has but
one single aim in the European war:
"Victory at all costs.

Submarine Squalus
Sails A 8 Sail fish
Portsmouth, N. H., May 15.? In a
crisp, precise commissioning ceremony
requiring less than live minutes,
the navy added to its rolls today
the submarine Salltish, formerly
the Squalus, In whic h2t> men died almost
a year ago in a faulty dive.
Records of the Squalus had been
closed' and the Sailflsh's log opened
on u blank page.
Nothing in the ceremony or in tho
appearance of the glistening undersea
craft served as a reminder of the
tragedy of last May 23.
There was no mention of tho keioic I
rescue of 33 survivors, first over made
with a diving bell, or of tho subso- J
quent four-month struggle to salvage
the submarine, during which scores
of divers labored 40 fathoms deep,
with danger like a dagger pressed
against their throats.
Pour of those survivors were
aboard, members of the Sailflsh's
crew, and virtually all 33 had askeh
such assignment.
Orders from Washington placed the
SaHfish Ip commission and in command
of Lt. Com. Morton C. Mumma,
