Chi|drens' Bureau Reports
67% Rise in Delinquency

A wartime rise of 81 per cent in
the number of juvenile delinquency
cases disposed of throughout the
Nation, representing "a greatly in
creased problem" was reported yes
terday by the Labor Department. S
Chihren's Bureau.
Katherine F. Lenroot, bureau
chief, said the findings were based
on the experiences of Sc juvenile
courts in urban areas throughout
the country from 1888 through 1915
Major increase in juvenile de-
inquency occurred during the early
war years, it was said, with a rela-
lively larger increase in girls cases
than in boys. Girls, however, &C
counted for only one-fifth of the
total cases.
During 1945, the report said, the
District disposed of 1902 juvenile
delinquency cases for a l per cent
increase over the previous year
Comparative statistics were not
given for the entire period covered
Cautioning against an alarmist
view of the findings, Miss Lenroot
pointed out that juvenile delin-
quency cases actually took a down.
ward trend during and after 1914
She emphasized that more COM
munity services are needed IF any
large number of these children are
to be kept from the courts"

ITO be fair, he should make some
attempt to estimate the hours spent

Most of the extra work detailed

wonder how Mr.. Fowler would
arrive at the per hour figure of a

Speaking of the right to repre-

Fowler tells the public the school

Sugar Refinery Strike
Postponed by Unions
BY the Associated Press

AFL and CLIO unions last night
postponed at least until late tomor-
row a threatened strike at seven
East Coast sugar refineries which
process 10 per cent of the Nation
cane sugar.
The postponement was made at
the request of Government concilia-
tors who proposed submission of the
union demands for a 15-cent hourly
wage increase to fact finding panel
The companies have offered a l3-
cent-per- hour increase.
The unions accepted the fact-f find
ing plan with the proviso the panels
recommendations be agreed on be-
forehand as binding upon both sides.
This proved a major stumbling
block because the three companies
involved - the American, National
and Revere Sugar Refining Co.'S
agreed to the fact-fnding procedure
only if the question of accepting the
ultimate recommendation were left
open to decision after the companies
had an opportunity to see the rec
concentrations.
Faced with this impasse, the Gov
eminent conciliators asked the par
ties to discuss the situation over the
weekend and return to the Labor
Department at pm. tomorrow.
Louis H. Wilderman, and Robert
Hachenburg, attorneys for the AFL-
United Sugar Workers, and Robert
w. Davis, representing the CIO Re-
finery Workers locals, said the $500
workers they represent would not
exercise their right to strike under
strike notice effective at midnight
last night, pending outcome of to-
morrow's meeting.

Fowler Criticism

Teachers of Woodrow Wilson

their right to group representation

Fowler was unjustified last week in
making "a blanket comparison be-
tween teachers salaries and those
of classified employees of the Dis

In letter to The Star, the group

Minimum Salary Compared.
I'VE ask that he make, instead
comparison with Civil Service DO
sions requiring an A. B. or M. A
degree. Furthermore, we know that
an hour spent in teaching is not
to be compared, in the expenditure
OF nervous energy, with an hour
of Office work"
The teachers charged that Mr.
Fowler, in calling educators a IA
vored group and in comparing sal
aries here with those in 20 other
cities, sis careful to choose the mini
mum salary for this comparison and
does not explain that in many O!
these cities the maximum salary is
much higher.
I'm any case, it is generally recog-
nlzed that salaries all over the
United States are so low that there
is an alarming shortage OF teachers
at the present time. Can one poor
salary be justified by comparing il
with one that is worse?"
The teachers said, "Mr. Fowler
wonders whether the education OF
the children of the city is in any
way affected by the numerous
groups representing teachers" anc
objects to the pressure groups

NEW YORK, April 6.-Gen. Omar
N. Bradley, veterans administrator
tonight urged that the United States
maintain its military might, declar-
Ing that 'if we were to scrap ou1
defensive strength now, it might &C
tually weaken the likelihood of the
infant U. Ms survival"
AT this critical juncture in world
history we can accomplish more as
a strongly armed champion of U. N
than as an undefended member,
Gen. Bradley said in an address at
the annual Army Day dinner of the
Military Order of the World Wars
Until the principle of interna-
tional Cancellation, arbitration and
agreement is more firmly rooted in
all nations" he said, I'VE stand in
danger of engulfing the U. N. with
disputes before it has developed the
means of dealing with them. = ."

safely demonstrated its strength to

1T is as illogical to scrap our

the same token there is little basis
to the contentious of those who

Gen. Bradley dismissed as "incon-
elusive the theory that in a war

fateful conclusions" he said.

Ito Assume Lead in
Averting Third War

Blunt warning that the United
States must assume moral leader
ship" in averting World War III and
that it must be ready to back it up
was sounded last night by Gen
George G. Kenney, commanding
general of the Strategic Air Com
mand.
Gen. Kenney, who flew here from
his temporary assignment as men,
Der of the military staff committee
of the United Nations Security
Council meeting in New York. spoke
before the Army Day banquet of the
District Chapter of the Military
Order of the World War at the May
flower Hotel.
Although the world is nominally
at peace he said that peace sis as
yet little more than a superficial
armistice."
I'm 1914 and again in 1885," con-
tinued Gen. Kenney, 1--WE stood for
the same principles and the same
ideals we have today. If, in ad-
dition. we had possessed then a
strong military establishment we
could have eXerted a moral leader
ship among nations that might
have prevented both conflicts"
Strong Army Urged.
To defend the ideals for which
the recent war was fought, Gen.
Kenney told the gathering of high
ranking military men, including
acting War Secretary Royal, leg
islators and Government officials,
I'VE need a strong, well-organized
and intelligent military establish
ment.
I'VE need it just as this city or
any other city needs an effective
police force to maintain order and
respect for law
Need for such a military estab-
ishment is not dictated by desire
for greater power among nations
nor for economic aggrandizement,"
said Gen. Kenney, but because our
Allies in this hemisphere, our AL
lies in Europe, in an awakening
Far East-look to the United States
for moral leadership"
Gen. Kennev reminded his audi
ence of the United States respon-
sibilities under the United Nations
Charter, as member of the U. N.
Security Council and as one of
the Sovereign united nations of the
world"
Warning Issued.
He then warned:
IF they merely pay lip service
and are unwilling to accept the
responsibilities of membership it is
merely a question of raising another
generation of airmen, soldiers and
sailors before we plunge into anoth-
er World War. After that catas-
trophe, we will have no further
need for worry. There won't be
enough left to fight over"
Gen. Kenney emphasized that
the United States, under the U. N.
Charter and its Security Council
membership, must be vitality con-
cerned with the future of Abyssinia
or Iran or Siam as well as with
the future of Pennsylvania or Cali
fornia or Hawaii"

ator Connally pointed out. He add
ed that sit is not the job of the
United Nations to draft the peace
treaties"
Senator Austin said he believes
there are numerous questions re-
sulting from our joint military
effort that must be settled by the
nations primarily responsible for
the victory"

nee CnaC the peace conference should
be postponed pending agreement on
the treaties.
The April Is meeting of the Big
Four foreign ministers was sug-
gested by Mr.. Byrnes to resolve any
major differences left unsettled by
deputies who have been working in
London on the peace treaty drafts
for months. He said he was much
distressed" at slow progress made by
the deputies.
Time Short Anyway.
Diplomatic officials here consid-
cred it highly problematical that
all the issues could be worked out
by the May deadline' even if the
foreign ministers meet only six days
in advance.
Major difficulties include:
l. Despite a Potsdam agreement
that Italy should be given priority
for a peace treaty among the ex-
Axis satellites, Russia has taken the
position that all five treaties must
be drafted before any one of them
is signed.
2. Italys colonies - the United
States and Britain have supported
a plan under which they would be
placed under a collective trustee
ship of the United Nations. Russia
has advocated individual trustee
ships, seeking for herself steward
ship over Tripolitania on the South
ern Mediterranean shore. Britain
has protested this move on the
ground that it would place the
Soviet astride her lifeline to the
East.
3. Reparations-Russia has de-
manded reparations from Italy, sug-
costing that they could be paid over
a period of years in the form of
goods. Against this position, the
United States has taken an unbudg-
ing stand, arguing that Italy is de-
pendent on relief-a vast part of
which comes from this country
and is in no position to pay.
4. Boundary lines-More than a
score of these disputes exist. Few of
them have been settled by the for
eign ministers deputies who have
been at work on the problem since
the council meeting adjourned.
5. Economic problems - Britain
and the United States have pressed
for an "cpen door" trade policy in
the Balkans. American sources
said that this has not as yet met
with Russian approval. On top of
this, Britain and America want
restitution for property owned by
their nations in the three countries
which they claim has been removed
to Russia.
