"A DUTY of the States

linquency that we find in our COM
n1unities."
The New York governor unques-
tionably reasons soundly on this
subject.
Juvenile delinquency is a badly
misunderstood problem.
Many articles are being printed
laying most of the blame for juvenile
delinquency-if not all of it-on neg.
lectful parents.
Doubtless lack of proper home
and school and religious training is
responsible for a great deal of the
Generalization of our America n
youth.
But delinquency is condition not
only to be PREVENTED but to be
CURED.
It is important not to dodge the
responsibility of OUR state and
OUR city and OURSELVES for
juvenile delinquency by trying to lay
ALL the blame on the parents-and
stop at that.
SUPPOSE parents ARE Indifferent
- and delinquent.
That is all the more reason why
we as people should NOT be.
If PRIVATE duties are not per
formed, let us at least perform our
PUBLIC duty.
Delinquent parents cannot be
redeemed.
They are hardened in their de-
linquency.
But the children CAN BE and
SHOULD BE and MUST Be re-
deemed.
It is THE DUTY OF THE
STATES to redeem them-with edu
cation, with entertainment, with in
teresting and gainful occupation
with ALL OF THE MEASURES
which may be found to bring bene-
fetal results.
Detroit evening times., 1945-02-24

DECOGNIZING the d deplorable
IL fact that juvenile delinquency is
one of the nations greatest problems
and greatest menaces, Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey of New York has likewise
recognized that it is the especial duty
of THE STATES to promote RENE
dial action.
Accordingly, he has asked the
New York Legislature to establish
permanent youth commission and to
appropriate 100000 to enable the
commission to make an effective
effort to abate the evil.
The governors proposal is that
the state commission be composed OF
the commissioners of education, cor
rection, social welfare and mental
hygiene and an additional member to
be appointed by the governor.
Under the plan, youth bureaus
would be set up in the communities
to organize recreation and educa-
tional projects, with the state max
ing contributions to be matched
dollar for dollar by the localities.
OUTSIDE of New York City,
" where total of $4,000 would
be utilized, the maximum expendi
ture in any community would be
$4,000, so as not to impose excessive
financial burdens.
The ratio of distribution from the
state would be not more than $3.50
for each 1000 children in commu-
nifty, with the community itself fur.
nishing an equal amount.
The plan is based upon year of
research by state officials.

told the Legislature, "that it is an.
important step in social progress and
that this sound and Uigorous pro-
gram can do much in overcoming

TO THE EDITOR:
HAVING just read the last
II letter on the DSR in to-
days Times, signed Taxpayer
/ would like 10 suggest that
possibly the DSR, like the rest
of us, is suffering from war
shortages.
Taxpayer said he has lived
here 35 years and travelled over
the world and he says our
transportation system IS bad,
but he does not offer a con-
Structive suggestion.
II took several trips about
the country to make me a real
rooter for Detroit and its trans
portation system-that is, be-
fore the war.
If the DSR would appoint an
employe 10 receive suggestions
for improving service. 1t would
often get pointers.
Take, for instance, the Wood
ward cars going TO Catalpa
drive on which people riding
short distances crowd on at
State and Woodward, and those
going TO the end of the line, y
miles farther out, must stand
until they reach the Eight Mile
road.
In a large city there will be
crowds at transfer points or
starting points, but these
crowds are not the same people
for more than few minutes.
Before the war Detroit street
cars were some of the cleanest
in the country. That included
buses. And DSR employees were
as courteous and fares as rea-
Sonable as most cities.

TO THE EDITOR:
I WISH to congratulate you for
the interest the Times is TAX
ing in transportation problems.
The DSR has many problems,
but l believe they could be les
sened for the general public.
Any bus line in the city Is no
better by comparison than an
other-you stand and wait from
five to 20 minutes or longer and
when a bus does come, often the
driver will not open the door.
Or after you wait long time,
two or three buses follow one
another and then there is wait
again for 20 minutes or so
1t would appear that there is
no systematic schedule which
drivers adhere TO.
If some of the DSR officials
had to get to work on buses as
the public does, you would
shortly find a marked improve
ment in schedules and the atti-
tude of drivers,

WRITERS ACCLAIM
CHICAGO GIRL POET

CHICAGO, Aug. 6 (ANP)-
Gwendolyn Brooks, local poet, re-
ceived praise recently from two of
Americas foremost authors, Will
liam Rose Benet and Richard
Wright, for her individuality and
technique in handling the race prob
lem as it will appear in her volume
to be published this month by Harp
erS.
"a Street in Bonneville" by
Gwendolyn Brooks is the work of a
remarkable young poet" wrote
Benet. "Her ballad of Pearl May
Lee is indelibly tragic. Her book,
throughout, has dramtaic vigor and
unusually expressive phrase. Miss
Brooks is as original, as dynamic as
Langston Hughes. She is saliently
individual"
Richard Wright, whose Native
Son" and "Black Boy" have re-
ceived international acclaim, said !:
"She is a real poet. There is no
self-pity here, nor a striving for eff
fects. She takes hold Of reality as
it is and renders it faithfully i. i.
She easily catches the pathos of
petty destinies; the whimper of the
wounded; the tiny accidents that
plague the lives of the desperately
poor, and the problem of color pre-
judice. ;"
Miss Brooks, born in Topeka,
Kans., in 1917, graduated from
Englewood High school here in 1884
and from Wilson Junior college in
June, 1886. She married Henry L.
Blakely in September, 1889, and
since has published poetry in num-
erous magazines. She is now work
ing on novel.

hHORRAMSHA Iran, Aug.
Z (ANP)-Last week there came
to this wind swept scorching hot
desert land of Persia, USO troupe
No. $50, headed by John Vigal and
composed of the following enter
tsiners Johnny Gardner, NC, Miss
Evelyn White, singer of songs the
GIs go for, Miss Mae Iris White,
pianist and blues singer who puts
the blue in the blues and Miss Bob
by Vincent a tap dancer who is
really different.
Their first show was played at
Teheran, the capitol of Persia, fol-
lowed by a tour of all military in
installations. Officers, enlisted men
and Iranian civilians have been
loud in their praise of this unit S
performance and their breezy and
snappy routine Everywhere they
have gone, parties and receptions
of various kinds have been arranged
in their honor. These entertainers
have always been ready to oblige
with an extra show to please the
GI's, in fact they made themselves
the most-overworked but most ik-
able USO show troupe to come to
the Persian Gulf command.
When the troupe reached this
sun baked waste of desert where
the temperature goes up to $50 de-
grees and has at time gone beyond
that mark, the GIs had the well
come mat out for them, because
their coming had been expected long
before they were due to play here.
In the words of the troupe's man
ager, Mr.. Vigal, "We have been
treated royalty by all the men we
have played before, but the recep-
tion which was given us at this
place was the best we have ever
received. I only wish the people
