Legislation to prevent juvenile

character-building of children in

gan, Washington attorney and
member of the Board Of Education,
told a radio audience last night.
Speaking in a series of broad
casts under auspices of the Com
mittee on Moral and Religious
Training, Mr.. Gilligan said in
part:
eff this nation is to survive
over the centuries that lie ahead,
and is to continue to lead in
world affairs, it has no choice
in the matter; it must seek and
find the way to strengthen the
moral and religious life Of its
youth.
Juvenile delinquency is start
ling in its magnitude today.
Many radical and unAmerican
movements are endeavOring to
undermine the basic foundations
of our republic.

Says:

Gabriel must be playing a
symphony on that horn of his
from the way the SpaniardS are
still filling up the spaces on
the death lists. One thing,
when a politician over there de-
cides to take a walk, he's usually
accompanied by a firing squad.
I'm not sure just what kind
of a New Deal those SpaniardS
are getting, but it looks like
they're going ours one better by
blowing under the pOpulace.
We would at least be thank
full that when our executives
want a little recreation, they go
in for fishing, instead of shoot
ing.
And Just think, it was only a
few years ago that this country
went to war to make the world
safe for democracy, and now
nobody wants it. Not even the
Democrats.
