was answered by him.
Who would do a thing like
that? Maybe a suitor brushed

plain crank. II he was a prac-
tical jokeSter. he certainly had
a perverted sense of humor.
The case of Private Thomas
Franklin Hinton, Jr., u S A, is
simple. Hinton telephoned
Manhattan night club for a res.
ervation. A refusal made hiu
angry, so he got revenge.
First he telephoned the Hotel
AStor and represented himself
as an aide TO General of the
Army Douglas Macarthur. He
said he wanted TO reserve a
suite for the general. Then he
told the club the same story. Hc
got reservations and later re-.
served seats for Seven Lively
Arts" Then he called the news
papers and arranged for a press
conference with Macarthur.
OF course, Macarthur was In
the Pacific. The FBI soon put
Hinton under arrest.
But whatever inspires these
calls, It's a good idea for the re
Cipient TO be cautious.

NAVY DAY

In "SIDELINES" you state an in
accuracy in regard to the estab-
lishment of the United States
Navy. You say: "Just ITO years
ago, on October 27, ITS, the
United States Navy was born"
The facts are these: October
could most appropriately be desig-
mated as Navy Month. The first
recommendation in behalf of build
ing an American Navy was sug-
gested in the Continental Con-
gress on October 3, ITS; two days
later a committee was appointed
by Congress to prepare a plan for
intercepting two British vessels

1000 People
At Auditorium
Hear MCFarlin

Pruth McFarlin of New York,
one of Americas outstanding radio
and concert tenors, entertained over
1000 people, Saturday evening, at
the Municipal Auditorium, when he
appeared as a featured singer at
the youth for Christ" rally.
He rendered with beautiful eff
fectiveness, the moving spirituals,
"Were You There" "Steal Away to
Jesus" and "Precious Lord, Take
My Hand" He also sang, "The
Lost Chord" by Sullivan, and
"Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho u
by Burleigh.
Mrs. McFarlin accompanied him
on the piano, with Theodore Berg
man at the organ. The featured
speaker for the evening was DR.,
Watson Argue of Winnipeg, Can
ada. George Wilson acted as mas
ter of ceremonies, and George Ed
strom as song leader. Other mu-
sicians featured were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Bridges at the piano, and
DR.. and Mrs. O'Neil, harpists, from
Ireland. DR.. H. B. Prince is head
of pastors committee.

it up. All this tommyrot about
laboratories and case histories,
hereditary instincts, economic OPP
preston and blah blah should be
thrown out the window and the
social workers and the do-gooders
should give back police work to
those who are paid to do it.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that many kids are victimized by
hoodlums who force them into I'M
savory gang connections upon
threat of physical violence. In this
way, many innocent youngsters are
put in the position to enter a life
OF active crime, and the homes of
many people who are decent, law
abiding citizens are brought to
shame. However, in cleanup, the
good go with the bad, unfortunate
as it may seem. The compare
lively few good people Or children,
for that matter, who might suffer
as a result of a tight, hard-hitting
police campaign against hoodlums
is negligible compared to the good
that will come to the entire COM
munity. Something must be wrong
if the police themselves are re-
luctant to lock up or even to
handle roughly kids who have pis-
tolls and knives and other weapons
in their possession, for fear of
censure by the Judge in court for
striking or mishandling a juvenile.
When we were coming along, if
the cops caught US doing something
bad, that was US, and there was no
expectation that mother or father
would take our side once it was
proven we were guilty of some mis-
demeanor or of disturbing the
peace. Somebody has got to teach
these teen-age "Dillingers" a les
son, and the best ones to do it are
the police who are paid by the tax
payers to protect life, limb, and
property. However, due to public
opinion, it is understandable that
the police are reluctant to use force
where force is necessary. The New
York City judicial system actually
protects the young hoodlum in that
he does not come to trial in the
usual way for even such serious
otfenses as murder. Instead they
try to "talk" to him and make him
"see the error of his ways" by
gentle handling. If there is cause to
incarcerate him, he is sent to some
place where he will stay for a year
or so, and is then put back on the
streets again with no record
against his name and with perfect
license to resume his criminal
activities.

Writes of Middle East

Editor: / have been assigned to

ing completed my basic military
training at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. /
am with the Air Transport Com
mand station hospital under re-
stricted order. The rainy season is
on, and dampness and malaria
transmitting mosquitoes are on the
warpath.
Travelling by plane, stopped off
in Casablanca. It is one of the most
dangerous sections in the Middle
East. Arabs and professional
thieves have things their way. They
will steal the buttons off your
clothes without your ever know
ing. They are experts in jack roll
ing. Many soldiers have had their
Threats slashed in that city. They
are strange mixture of human
beings, of diversities of tongues and
colors. From the Azores to Dakar,
we encounter an altogether differ
ent situation. Beggars and buyers

The draft boards are hampered
by the apathy of public opinion
and can't do anything about draft
ing the 17-year-olds into some
form of military training thus rid
ding the streets of main cause of
juvenile delinquency, and conse-
quently the young hoodlums had a
field day while far better young
sters over 1s and 10 were sent off
to war. All that is so much water
under the bridge, however. What
we are concerned with is stopping
the problem now.
To meet it, the police will have
to take the matter in their own
hands and start whipping heads
wherever they see these young
hoodlums congregating, for none
of them gather for any good pur-
pose. There are far too many
Fairgrounds, gymnasiums, play
centers, and what not, almost
empty of patronage, for revival
of the old howl for lack of recre-
ational facilities. The record is
replete with the thousands upon
thousands who have grown to
worthwhile man or womanhood
from the same New York that ex-
lists today without any of the frills
and fancies being added. There are
thousands upon thousands of boys
and girls right here in our midst
living under slum conditions, un-
imaginable in a city of this size,
who are almost to 1 bet to turn
out to be decent, law abiding, hard
working citizens of this great COM
munity.
It is up to the community to form
the opinion that will guarantee the
police no interference as they go
about a duty that belongs solely
to them.
