100 Mentally Deficient
At Liberty in Baltimore

BALTIMORE, April % (P.-
Failure of the State to provide
sufficient institutional facilities was
cited by James M. Hepbron today
as the reason that more than 100
juveniles, all adiudged mentally de-
f1cient, were at liberty in Baltimore.
1T Is no wonder we have youths
OF teen age and younger setting
fire to buildings, stealing and be-
coming involved in sex offenses,"
the chairman of the MARYLAND
Commission on Juvenile Delinquency
said. Many potentially criminal
youths are refused asylum care
because of overcrowded conditions
and attendant shortages, he said.
All of the counties were reported
to have waiting lists, of l to Is
children.
