The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-14

Q Now, as never before, your country looks to you to do your patriotic duty.
 For this is the showdown.
 The desperate death struggle is on! Right now, the outcome off the war is being decided as our boys plunge into the bloodiest battle ofhistory. Weare going to pay terrific price for victory-in lives and suffering and tears.
 And what's yoarpart in this bitter struggle? Right now, it's to get behind the 4th War Loan and invest in ct least one extra $10O Bond. A Series War Savings Bond will cost you $75, and you get back $4 for every S you invest, if held to maturity.
 For some people, this will mean real sacri- fees. But no sacrifice is too great to make for your country in this critical hour. Others must invest more-$2OO-$3OO-$5OO. Re-

Congress, too, has responsibility in
this, for there is nothing new in
the situation. District officials may
not have shouted loudly enough, but
Congress perhaps should have
heard the call earlier"
The groups conviction as to the
size of the problem was based
primarily on Metropolitan Police re-
ports showing that in the last five
years more than 10000 arrests of
juveniles have been recorded for
all offenSes, that the total rose from
slightly more than $500 in 1910 to
more than 7,400 in 1943, that arrests
of juveniles for felonies nearly
doubled between 1910 and 1943, and
that the number of Juveniles ar
rested for drunkenness in public
places increased from 18 to IT
between 1899 and 1943.
Other Contributing Factors.
The following were found by the
D'Alesandro Subcommittee as being
among factors contributing to juve-
nile delinquency:
l. In many homes both the mother
and father have jobs; consequently
their children lack proper parental
supervision.
2. Broken homes, with father ir
war service, or mother in full time
employment, brothers or sisters
away from home-any of which cir
cumstances may cause attitudes OF
unrest or uncertainty in the impress
sionable child.
3. Children employed under un-
wholesome conditions
4. Migration of family groups into
Washington, particularly from the
South, where children have been
uprooted from familiar or perhaps
more comfortable surroundings to
be lodged in congested, inadequate
housing.
5. Attendance at dance halls,
beer parlors, and other amusement
places.
6. The War-aroused general spirit
of excitement, anxiety, tension and
adventure, which is reflected in dis
regard of discipline, especially by
those who have not had the ad-
vantage of considered care.
7. The ease with which today's
youth earns big money and in
too many instances without having
adequate training in how to spend
or save
8. The easy going" performance
of the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board which lin the face of in
creasing problems of enforcement
has invoked fewer suspensions and
revocations Of permits than in for
mer years without and justifiable
showing that despite wartime in
creases in population and growing
shortages of potable supplies there
is a reduced desire for drink or
greater respect for regulations.

Ohio Farmers Give Up Attempt
To Force AAA Official Out

said they would give him until April
to quit 'or else" A few DAYS
before band of men had entered
three AAA township Offices and, AAA
State headquarters reported, de-
stroyed records.
Mr.. Mannix reported that group
of farmers, who had expressed be-
lief Mr.. Fellers and his office staff
would be more valuable" in war
plant jobs. came to his home last
night with suggestion that they
eject the AAA chairman today and
close his office.
Mr.. Mannix added that he ad-
vised against such a step and the
men agreed after talking with
county officials.
Mr.. Mannix said his organization
would urge that the AAA cease par
tlclpation in rationing of farm
implements. He charged there was
discrimination in allotment of these
items and gasoline to farmers. The
OPA said yesterday it had instructed
rationing boards not to consult AAA
| officials in areas where such a prac-
tlce might lead to friction.

LONDON, April 8.-Important

Chairman Ora R. Fellers, who had

Foreign Secretaries at which broad
issues of the foreign policy of the
members of the commonwealth are
expected to be shaped.
A Foreign Office spokesman, in
answer to press question, said no
early changes in Mr.. Churchill's
government are planned. The off,
cial statement apparently was aimed
directly at reports Mr.. Eden would
give up the post of Foreign Secre-
tary.
Persistence Of reports that Vis-
count Cranborne, Dominions Secre-
tary, is being groomed to take over
the Foreign Secretariat, however.
suggests the shift still might be
made later, although not until after
the forthcoming parliamentary Do

this committee with it's own, the
Congressional group declared the
District should provide secretarial
help and reasonable expenses" for
a stimulated program. If such help
cannot be loaned, the city heads
should present budget requests, the
subcommittee said, suggesting sl0,-
900 might be sufficient.
Other proposals were for expan-
sion and fuller use of recreation
facilities, including evening opera
ton Of school houses; provision OF
funds for continuation of the
psychiatric clinic of Juvenile Court
and for establishment of District
department of mental hygiene; that
efforts be made to provide better

Frequent Inspections Urged.

Along the same line is a recon-
mendation that the ABC Board
consult its record on the question
OF whether it has been too lenient
with licensees who have been care
less as to their regard for the letter
and the spirit of the lava liberal
law which should be strictly en-
forced as the best means of pre-
venting a return of prohibition with
all its evils"
Other recommendations were:
That all members of the Board
OF Public Welfare make frequent
inspections of District welfare in
particularly those deal
ing with Juveniles
That programs of enlistment and
training of substitute recreation
leaders, in public and private or
carnations, be initiated to fill the
places Of men and women who have
entered war services.
That action be taken by school
authorities and others, if necessary,
to bring about full cooperation by
owners of all movie houses and
other places Of amusement to bar
children of school age during school
hours, unless accompanied by par
ents or guardians.
Congress Partly Blamed.
The subcommittee said Congress,
as well as the Commissioners, was
partly to blame for lack of suffi-
clent facilities for caring for men,
tai detectives. 1t stated:
1T appears to this committee that
one OF the most crying needs of
the District is a more progressive
and better financed system of meet
ing the problems of juveniles who
are mentally substandard. The es-
tabli'hed District institutions sup
poSedly meeting this problem are
inadequate and understaffed.
This Sitaution is recognized by
some District officials, but action
comes so belatedely that the prob
lem always is ahead of performance
and the war priorities situation has
lntruded to further delay correc-
tive construction programs. Perhaps
