what he termed the most def
mite" attack on juvenile delin-
quency lin 90 years" Governor

together the now unrelated activl-

ed in its control.
Kelly said he had enthusiastic
support OF law enforcement, edu-
cational and judicial organizations
most closely identified with the
delinquency problem, and that
their united attack upon it should
produce results.
Promising that the information
would be treated confidentially, he
called for reports and advice from
school officials throughout the
state. prosecutors. shefiffs. police
chiefs and probate judges through
their professional organizations,
the state police. clergymen and
"a other organizations which he
said are identified in varying de-
grees with the juvenile delinquen-
cy problem.
Kelly said he would create a
"not-too-large" committee OF mem
bers chosen for their interest in
child welfare work and their keen
vision TO assemble this informa-
ton. and from It evolve answers
to problems Of what state and To-
cal government can do about the
entire problem, promising that he
would demand legislation to place
the statewide recommendations
into effect.
The survey. he said, is intend
ed TO take the state county by
county and establish the extent
of the problem in each; most COM
mon types OF delinquency within
the borders OF each, and what age
groups are most in need of help.
