Central Press Correspondent
 HOLLYWOOD = Walter Slezak confessed today he would like to work up enough moral backbone to balk over playing any more "slimy characters" on the screen.
 If I keep playing the kind of roles I've been playing ever since came to Hollywood in 1942 I'm afraid I'll wake up some morning and find self out of pict ," said Walter.
 "The time would come when it would be completely obvious every time I came on the screen .lst what part of the plot I was in volved in.
 "Then the producers would start to say, Oh, Slezak, we've had enough of him. Then where would l be? Out in the cold.
 q don't mean to say | want to play romantic roles, or leading man roles, but would like to DOT tray something other tn a n the slimy characters I've played vir- tually exclusively.
 q don't mean to say, either, that Hollywood hasn't done fine by me because it has. Only the time comes when you have to look out sor yourself, in order to protect your own best interests.
 Hollywood is very likely to type you completely, as it has done 10 me, if you don't watch out for yourself"
 Slczak sa. he had never refused to play any role, except any more Maxi williams.
 q had enough of those kind of roles and l refused to do any more he explained.
 slezak, a bright star stage before he came to Holly wood, is looking forward to re- turning to Broadway this fall after completing "Rifraff" with Pat o'Bricn. He will play the title role in the Theater Guild produc- tion of "Volpone," r-1t the exact date of the opening has hot been set.
 T thinl, it will do me good to get back on the stage for a while, ' slezak explained. Maybe while am in New York I'll develop enough moral backbone, so wher return to Hollywood I'll be able to say No to some Of the types

 bitter by-product of the has been widespread destruction of moral values among the young, evil denced in an alarming upsurge of juvenile crime.
 Commenting report submitted by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the federal bureau of Investigation United States Attorney General Tom C. Clark said: "Our present day youth has piled up such catalogue of crime makes all previous records for juvenile o lenders list of childish pranks by compar son."
 There is no exaggeration in that estimate, as MT. Hoover's report reveals.
 Last October serious crime throughout the nation showed increase of 19 per cent over October 1914 shockingly large proportion of those crimes were committed by teen age youngsters.
 Of all the murders 15 per cent committed by boys and girls under 21 years of age.
 Of the robberies, 36 per cent committed by boys and girls under 21.
 Fifty-one percent of the burglars under 21 as 62 per cent of automobile thieves 26 per cent of arsonsts and 30 per cent of rapists
 Obviously juvenile crime has become national prob lem of the most pressing gravity.
 How shall we solve it?

Looking for What?

Such a committee will be con- cerned with wages - only with wages. It will have small interest in prices of cars to the users; less in returns to investors. Its job will be to say what wages an en- ployer is able to pay. Rightly, wages are determined by work mans ability to produce. The new concept seems to be that an em- ployer's savings have a bearing on wage levels.
 Such a scheme would ear-mark for wages all but such a paltry share of firms earnings that in vestors would turn away. Down would came cash reserves, plant equipment and output. Quality would suffer, prices would ad- vance and sales drop off. Paying men, not by what they produce but according to the employers ability to pay, is the surest eff not the fastesD way to hopelessly low wages and dogs life for us all.

Decision was reserved by Superior Court Judge Edward J. Quinlan today on a motion to Quash e writ Of mandamus issued May i7 against the three officers Of the Waterbury Amusements. Inc, operator Of the Lido Theater on South Main Street.
 The writ was issued upon the rec quest of John D. Sirica, owner of a one-quarter interest in the cor- porat ton. who asked for opening of all financial records and books of the concern. The writ had been served on Alvira S. ouatrano. Fred erick Quatrano. and William A. Sirica, the officers of the corpor- ation.
 Attorney J. Warren upson argued today that the financial records should not be opened unless the petitioner can show why they should be made available. He argued that the petitioner had the annual fi- nancial report available as do stockholders in any corporation.
 Attorney Francis B. Feeley claimed that the annual report dis- closes only gross figures and that his client wanted to know where those figures were obtained. He said it would not be possible to know if there had been waste. ex- travagance or misuse" until such a time as the books were inspect ed.
