Girl Of Is Tells
Senators Youths
Can Help Selves
CriminoIogist Soys
Lack Of Security Is
Delinquency Factor

An 18-year-old girl told a Senate
subcommittee studying juvenile de.
linquency that when you are teen
age you are too old to be spanked
or coddled either-but too young to
be on your own"
I'VE are in a world of our own"
she said, land need something like
a boot strap to pull ourselves up"
The witness, Ruth Clifton of Mo-
line, ILL.,, said that in her home COM
munity teen-age youngsters had
found that boot strap" through the
organization of a recreation club.
Miss Clifton, who led the movement
which resulted in the club, empha-
sized that its success was due largely
to the fact that the youngsters
originated the idea and did most
OF the work themselves.
Not Necessarily Poor.
Miss Clifton also told the subcom-
mlttee that she didn't believe that
most so-called juvenile delinquents
came from an underpriviledged
background.
while you're studying this SUBJ
Ject you might give consideration
to those who have had fine homes
and plenty of opportunities" she
SAID. They often go astray, too"
A Chicago criminologist who also
appeared as a witness today, told
the committee that the man who
demanded that something be done
about crimes" was often found to be
the same man who would go out and
argue with his bootlegger.
DR.. Saul D. Alinski, director of
the Industrial Areas Foundation of
Chicago, cited the findings of a
survey he made in 1886 to show
that crime-prevention efforts fire.
quently run in a vicious circle.
He said the survey showed that
a certain real estate firm boosted
the rent of its tenants when it
found it encountered vice in rented
quarters. Following the case through
ne said he learned that the man
who pIoflted by the rent increase
gave ~ to social agency to do
something about vice.
Subject Is Exasperating.
THE subject becomes exasperating
after while" he said.
DR.. Alinski, who attacked the con-
ventional approach of most crime
preventive agencies, expressed the
opinion that the greatest single
factor contributing to delinquency
probably was the lack of economic
security.
He described recreation program
IN a community where fundamental
social evils had not been corrected
as full dress suit on a cadaver." :"
DR.. John A. Adams, principal Of
Pittsburgh high school, empha-
sized the Importance of a positive
Iapproach to the delinquency prob
lem. IF you just tell youngsters
don't do this and don't do that
you don't get anywhere" he asserted.
i A group of proteges from Voca-
tional Foundation, Inc, testified
yesterday in behalf of a program of
shop training for boys in corrective
institutions, and urged that steps
be taken to pave the way between
prospective employers and boys with
institutional records.
Those who appeared before the
subcommittee were presented anony-
mously by such names as Eddy"
and Jimmie"

Health Department
Inspection Of Cranch
To Be Requested
Hoycock Plans Action
After Complaint About
Fountains, Plumbing

Immediate inspection by the
Health Department of the Cranch
School, 1121 G street Sc, will be
asked by Robert L. Haycock, su-
perintendent of schools, as the re-
suit of complaint yesterday by a
Board of Education member, Adel-
bert w. Lee, of hazardous" water
fountains and plumbing fixtures
there.
The board received full reports
at its meeting yesterday on replace
ment needs among the 178 school
buildings. Assistant Superintendent
of Schools Jere J. Crane said money
is available to replace 158 water
fountains when priority difficulties
can be overcome, possibly by July,
l945. He stressed that neither
money nor priority is available, how
ever, to replace hundreds of toilet
1lXtures, at an estimated cost of
S157 900, in school buildings dating
as far back as 1864. All of these
are inspected regularly by the
Health Department, it was stressed.
Mr.. Lee asked that the Cranch
School be inspected Immediately. as
part of a general Inspection now
being carried on of "a elementary
school buildings already slated for
replacement after the war. The
board decided on a policy of doing
as little repair work as possible in
these old buildings and at the same
time making frequent inspection
trips to safeguard health at all
times.
An additional health precaution
adopted yesterday was compulsory
A-ray inspection for tuberculosis
among the 1000 school employees.
Older students have been inspected
for tuberculosis since 1896.
G. Melvin Sharpe, another board
member, suggested that members of
the District Congress of Builders
might be willing to assist with school
health inspections. He and DR.
robert A. Maurer, vice president
OF the board, both warned Mr., Lee
That full facts on "epidemics" and
"health hazards" should be obtained
at once before informal" discussion
by members of public boards alarmed
the public needlessly.
The board decided to ask the War
production Board to facilitate pro-
posed construction of a new Abbot
vocational School in Brentwood
Park, SO that the vocational needs
OF returning servicemen could be
better served.

Brown Firm Faces
Suspension Order
In 0PA Meat Case
Curuthers' Final Rule
Expected by March n
In Price Violations
"A. P. Photo.

Walter Brown & Sons, Inc, one
of three meat slaughterers in the
District, today faced suspension by
March 81 of its right to slaughter
and deal in meat. OPA Hearing
Commissioner Arthur Caruthers, jr.
yesterday upheld the District OPA
in its charges that the firm violated
price and rationing regulations, and
ruled that suspension would be lin
the public interest"
Counsel Tor the company, which
is one of two Federally inspected
slaughter plants here, was given
until March Is to file briefs on the
economic effects of suspension and
the effects, if any, on meat supplies
to the armed forces and Govern
ment agencies. The final order is
expected to follow within six days
1t was explained that the fina
order Of the commissioner could bt
complete suspension of all rationec
meat sales, partial suspension OF
a probation term, or a combinat tior
of these.
Findings followed a three-day
hearing in Municipal Court during
which butchers and grocers told of
difficulties in procuring meat from
wholesalers. A meat inspector for
the War Food Administration testi-
fed, however, that new facilities of
a Purcellville (Va.) slaughterer
would produce more than the COM
bined output of the two Federal
supervised plants.
The Brown company claims 1t
supplies the city with so per cent
of its veal and IS per cent of kosh-
er-style veal distributed here. Rep
resentatives of the Kosher Meat
Dealers Association have testified
that the company was the only out
let here for the type Of meat re-
quired by their trade and hat it
would be difficult to procure outside
supplies.
In his ruling, Mr.. Caruthers de-
clared that "the charges have been
sustained and proved beyond any
doubt" and that suspension order
is lin the public interest and to
promote the national security.'

If certain private of the tbs

make certain lady at PX-16 lose
her job, for her husband is hang
ing around now, blowing off about
what he is going to do! Well, that

So, Cpl. Hughes of the Apache

being Warrant Officer Hughes. Nice
going, Ernestine, we sure wish you
all the success in obtaining an ap-
pointment.
The Sou seemed quite peeved at

men, every dog has his day.
Pvt. Williams claims Pfc. Mar
garet Avery as his play-sister. Bet
ter a play sister than no sister at all.

No wonder he appears to know

Unusual Personality Among the
many types of personalities in the
4O6th Ordnance Co. there are few
like that of Pvt. B. B. De Haven,
Jr., of Columbus, Ohio. Before Pvt.
De Haven enlisted in the Air Corps
in 1942 as an instrument specialist,
his civilian occupation was that of
gyro-instrument repairman. It is
reported, at that time, there were
only five Negroes doing this type of
work in the United States. Because
there was no place for him in the
Air Corps when he enlisted as an
instrument specialist, he was sent
to TuSkegee Institute, Ala, where
he worked in the Air Corps mes
sage center for nine months. He en-
listed for ASTP and graduated from
Howard university, Washington,
DC, in basic engineering. He was
assigned to the 183rd Eng. Co Bn.
before being transferred to the 4O6th
Ordnance Company.
Pvt. De Haven attended Ohio
State university, Franklin university
and was an instructor at an NYA
machine shop before coming into
the Army.
His hobbies are writing music and
poetry for which he holds several
copyrights He is now attending
the Ordnance School, Aberdeen,
Md, taking course in-height- find
ing.
