Hopeless Delinquents
May Turn Out All Right
BY RUTH MILLETT

The whole country is disturbed
over the young girls who through
foolish actions have found them
selves branded as Juvenile delin-
quents" by the courts.
The statistics themselves are
shocking. But there m y be a
brighter side to the picture than
we have imagined.
The thing that makes me think
so is the recent report of So
cial worker in midwestern state,
who says the reason the state at
present has so few babies eligible
for adoption j. that unmarried
mothers today are keeping their
babies and finding jobs to support
them.
OF course it is a pity that a
young girl should have an illegiti.
mate child. But the girl can't be
utterly without morals or a sense
Of responsibility if she is willing
to go to work so as to keep the
child with her, in the face of the
disappearing attitude of society.
And the years to come may
show us in other ways that the
juvenile deinquents Of today didn' t
all become total losses to society.
HOPE FOR TIE HOPELESS"
We may find that when the war
hysteria is over, many Of the kids
who have gone wrong" may get
hold of themselves and turn inc
substantial citizens.
We tend to think of any boy or
girl once branded as. a "delir-
quent' as a hopeless case. But
many of the kids who are making
the delinquent" roles such head
ache to society today may turn
out all right.
Certainly it is a good sign that
unwed mothers today are far more
often than in the past assuming
the responsibility for their children,
instead Of turning their backs on
them and signing them away sim.
ply because they have no fathers.

Extra Gasoline Ration
Lists Will Be Opened
10 Public Inspection

The Once Of Price Administration
has instructed all local Ration
Boards to make available to the
public the names Of persons issued
supplementary gasoline rations, the
amount Of extra fuel allotted and
the purpose for which it was granted.
An OPA spokesman said that about
half the boards in the country in
the past have been posting the
names OF motorists who receive extra
gasoline coupons and the new order
was designed to make the policy uni
form. It covers B and G rations for
motorists as well as truck and bus
cards and 1-the-highway rations.
Local boards were instructed as
to the new policy about two weeks
ago and, at the same time, members
Of Congress were notified of the
action "as matter of courtesy"
Under rationing regulations all
members OF Congress are entitled to
a B or c card, according to their
mileage need. Boards were instructed
to make public all extra rations
issued after July l.
1T Is the established policy OF the
Once of Price Administration to
ration gasoline to neighbors by
neighbors within the rules laid down
In the regulations" the instructions
to local boards stated. THAT policy
requires the Weighing of individual
need In the light of local condi-
tions."
The OPA spokesman said the
agency has not prohibited the pub
ication Of issuance Of supplement-
ary gasoline rations, and, conse-
quently, some boards have made the
information public while others have
not. Many boardg have posted in
their ohlces the names of persons
issued extra rations.
Since nearly 80 per cent OF the
Nations estimated Is 00O, 900 motor
lists now have either B or c books,
the official said it would be q phys-

ical impossibility for III boards -
make public al names OF those re-
ceiving extra Gas. The information
will be available, however, upon In
quiry from the press or public.
In other words. II you are = trav-
cling salesman and your neishbor
is = travelling salesman, and you
think he Is getting more gasoline
than you are, you can find out by
going to the local ration board" the
ofncial explained.

policy would save gasoline by elm

serious students of public affairs
who have analyzed the platform
and have found it meaningless in
MANY respects while filled with
dangerous meanings IN other
respects. I am referring to the
great mass of us who instinctively
recognize the need for strong, COM
petent leadership in these desperate
times.
One day during the convention the
delegates, listening to speech by
Col. Carlos P Romulo, a Filipino,
heard the name of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur mentioned for the first
time and saw the speaker pause In
anticipation of applause. This was
in Chicago, where the Macarthur
for-President movement had been
promoted loudly over a period OF
months by the newspaper of largest
circulation and where a strangely
distorted story had been fed to the
populace to make it seem that the
great soldier of the Southwest Pa
cific was being mistreated in some
mysterious manner by an admin
istration that feared his political
popularity. A sizable portion of that
populace was in the galleries, but,
like the delegates on the floor, the
galleries gave Gen. Mac cArthur's
name only brief handicap.
Minds Set On Politics.
The people in that gathering had
their minds on political leadership,
leadership here at home, and Gen.
Macarthur obviously did not meet
the need with which they were
concerned Much as they admired
Gen. Macarthur the soldier, and
ready as they might have been to
applaud his name under other cir
cumstances, their feeling seemed to
be that his name did not belong in
that convention.
In the press section was man
who had just come from the South
west Pacific. He made the fiat
statement that If the effort to make
Gen. Macarthur a candidate had
succeeded, the fighting general
would have got very few votes from
his own troops.
Isn't Gen. Macarthur popular
with his troops?" he was asked
tremendously popular" he re-
piled. 80 popular that the troops
resented the idea of his leaving
them. They want him where he is.
They want his leadership"
Must Have Their Leader.
There it is. Soldiers have to have
a leader, have to put their faith in
a leader. When there is danger to
ne met, danger too great for any of
us to meet individually, we look to
the man capable of leadership.
If some of us keep pressing this
point in connection with Mr.. Dewey
it is because we want him to be
real leader 1t is possible that he
may become President of this coun-
try and that means he'll be our
President as much as anybody else's.
