Chaplin Faces
 Federal Court
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood
 COrrcRnnndAni

Hollywood, March 9-(UP)-Char- lie Chaplin, two of his cronies and four officials of Beverly Hills where the tourist guides point out the homes of the movie stars headed for federal court today to be arraigned on charges of conspiring to violate the civil liberties of Joan Barry.
 The brown-eyed Miss Barry is the mother of blue-eyed infant daugh- ter, which she claims is Chaplin's; upon her accusations rest triple threat court actions against the British comic.
 His appearance today is only one of numerous trips to numerous courts for the map who made for tune of $8,000,000 by looking wist- full on the screen and who married four wives during his 30 years in Hollywood.
 Chaplin yesterday lost his appeal to have Miss Barry's paternity suit dropped; the presiding judge said blood test may have indicated he couldn't have been the father of the infant Carol Ann, but that 1t would be best for a jury to decide.
 Chaplin has 10 days to appear before Judge Stanley most on that one. On March 2l he goes to fed- eral court to stand trial on two counts of violating the Mann act.
 These charges stem from Miss Barry,S story of the year she spent as Chaplin's $i00- -per-week protege, during which she charges that he took her to New York for immoral purposes and returned her to Holly wood three weeks later.
 As soon as that trial is completed, Chaplin, his pals, and the four of ficials of palm-studded Beverly Hills probably will face a jury on the conspiracy case.
 Chaplin's fellow w-defendants are Robert Arden. the refugee radio ora tor. who is charged with handing Miss Barry railroad ticket to New York after she was arrested as a vagrant; Tim Durant, the movie producer who never produced a pic ture. but who did introduce Miss Barry to the comedian: Police Judge Charles Griffin. who found her guilty of vagrancy; Police Lieut.. Claude Marple, who booked her; Police Matron Jessie Billie Reno, who guarded her in jail, and Police Capt. w. W. White, who escorted her to the train.

 Dr. Donley suggested that com. munity action was urgent Co meet the problem of delinquency. She urged that communities should keep in mind these principles taken from 0lueck study of 1856:
 1. Crime prevention programs should take into consideration the evidence that most criminal shows definite anti-Social tendencies of attitude and behavior in early child hood;
 3. Existing community agencies and institutions should be used to their full capacity. The public and parochial schools can play on espe- cially significant role:
 3. Crime prevention programs should recognize that children should have ample outlet for their energies;
 4. Intensive work with problem children and delinquents and atti. tude and prejudices of parents should not be ignored.

wasnangton, D. e., March . - alnaclml--A warning that present dkv culture tends co value material eo0,IFitg above children WIS sounded hy Dr. Dorothy Donley, psychiatrlse Oi tho Child Center oe Catholic UnivuEulky Of America, in addressing a mental hygiene symposium held here. ae which Miss Theresa O, Muller, Of the School of Nursing Eaueaklon 0f Che University, pre- aided. Juvenile delinquency was the general theme of the symposium,
 "0untrary Co popular impression, pr. ponley said, T believe we can agree that juvenile delinquency has not become greater a q social threat because of the war. Previous to the war, juvenile delinquency was of mounting Sertousness. We have felk that the school and the home, since they are Q natural habitat of the child. should be the institutions best suited to treat the child's difn. cuitles, but. in Q society where the advertised goals are all negative - freedom from want, freedom from fear, from religious and educational oppression-it has been dif1cult to 'seil' the positive correlaries - the duties to suffer fears, to endure dis- couragement, to strain and sweat against oppression. It has been diffl- cult to convince children of the vnlue of school adjustment that placed obstacles in the way of their personal tastes.
 'It seems to me prudent to eau. ton against excessive use of au- tlority with children. The child should have an opportunity to be given an interpretation and the per- son relying on authority should know his rights and responsibilities Such an approach calls for intelll- gence, integrity and humility on the part of the worker with children md Q willingness to preserve ' in meeting the needs of the young without counting the cost. The part which school failures play in delin- quency Is being re.emphasized and justly SO. The normally intelligent boy who has been unable to learn to read or write or spell, and whose dlfnculty has not been correctly diagnosed, has sufficient cause for c terrific amount of resentment.
