District Body 10 Fight.
Planned
Al Meeting on May I

A permanent Washington body to
combat juvenile delinquency Is the
objective of q public meeting to be
held May 2 at the United States
Chamber Of Commerce Building, it
was announced today by Austin r.
Garfield. president Of the District
Bar Association.
Mr.. Garfield said letters to more
than $50 groups and civic leaders
are going out today. asking that
delegates be designated for the
meeting, from which 1t IS hoped q
group will evolve to serve as q
pattern for other communities
throughout the country.
Steering Committee Formed.
A steering committee grew out OF
a meeting called yesterday by Attor-
ney General Clark at the Justice
Department with newspaper editors,
law officials and civic leaders. The
Attorney General sponsored the re-
cent national meeting here on the
juvenile delinquency problem.
DR.. William p. Herbst, president of
the District Medical Society, told
yesterdays conference that his or
ganization will enlist the aid of psy-
chiatrists in dealing with the prob
lem.
Mr.. Garfield said that after or
ganization of the Washington body
Is complete, the plan will be laid be-
fore the American Bar Association
and the District Bar Association will
urge its use by bar groups through
out the country as a pattern for
similar community programs.
Outgrowth of Special Report.
The meeting at 3 pm, May 2,
will be the outgrowth of a special
report on juvenile delinquency sub
mitted to the association by a com
mittee headed by Caesar L. Aiello,
Mr.. Garfield pointed out. The COM
mittee, formed last July, held a
series of hearings at which clergy
men, school authorities, police off,
cials and others appeared.
1t was the committees feeling
that while a number of groups here
are working on the problem, a
well-organized, unified group could
achieve real results.
The bar association on March II
unanimously adopted the commit
tees report, which advocates stu
dent tours of city courts, study of
the California plan" which pun
ishes and educates parents of juve-
nile delinquents, and unified COM
rnunity effort.

and the witness replied, "Yes, but
I have been reborn"
Representative Deane, Democrat
Of North Carolina told the witness
he was making serious attack
on some of the best minds of the
country when he challenged the
wisdom of the State Legislatures OF
all 48 States which have license
laws.
Mr.. Chambers insisted they are
all out of step. The public would
be better of if the States didn't
have such laws"
Mr.. Miller said he was inclined to
agree with some of the statements
iof the witness who protested that
undertakers should not be placed on
IA board licensing and regulating
'undertakers and embalmers.
"Of course Mr.. Chambers quick
ly replied. you are an intelligent
man. I'm not talking to a fool.
After two hours of debate the
hearing was adjourned to meet
again some day next week.

hAve emphasized strongly the feel
ing Of regret of the American dele
Cation to the Council az Foreign
Ministers that the Big Four had
been unable to make more progress,
particularly on the disarmament
treaty proposals. which collapsed
under the load Of Russian Foreign
Minister Moiotov's amendments.
Unless the Marshall-Stalin talk
produced some wholly new and un-
expected basis for agreement which
has yet to be brought to light. the
widespread belief here is that the
Moscow conference-now nearing It's
end-will be followed by intensified
big power rivalry in Germany and
elsewhere which viii serve to widen
the already deep east-west split.
An ofhcial spokesman said Gen.
Marshall made a request to see Mr..
Stain the latter part OF last week
through Gen. Smith TO the Soviet
Foreign Ministry.
The spokesman declared that
nothing further would be released
abou. the conference unless Gen.
Marshall gave 1t out himself. There
were indications that the time OF
the meeting was fxed by the Krem-
lin as late as yesterday.

Urges A. Hour Week.
Mr.. Baruch said If this country
adopted a 51a-day, 44-hour week
with no strikes or layoffs until jan
uary l, 1949, .'the result would be
electrifying."
Production would flow smoothly, ;
he said. "A sense of security would
return to worker and employer, and
the reaction upon the economy OF
the world would be deep and lasting
Until we have unity. until we
straighten out and solve our own
problems Of production, and have
internal stability, there is no basis
on which the world can renew itself
physically or spiritually.
Upon this change in our material
outlook, there would follow a change
in our sense of security. Make nc
mistake. Our military lines are nc
stronger than the industry behind
them.
Must Work to Keep Power.
Unless we work, we shall see q
vast imitation. Unless we work, we
shall not be able to maintain our
claim to power. That would be the
greatest blow we could receive, for
it would strip us Of our strength to
preserve our, way OF life"
He declared that such a program
would meet the needs of other ma
tions, asserting:
There is no place left to which
to turn for regeneration except to
America. We must answer that call
or we shall fail civilization in its
most tragic moment, and thus our
selves.
I'VE cannot do it by loans. grants,
subsidies, bonuses or pious resolves.
We can do it only by showing the
real might of America--by justice,
by helpfulness which insists upon
self-help, and finally, by production
and still more production"

Conclusion on Economic
Status
The picture. of the economic sta
tus of the Japanese community is
essentially an ambiguous one. On
the one hand there is evidence that
the community h a S rebounded
from the economic disloeation of
the evacuation with surprising re-
silence, and that the economic
status of the population is re-
markedly good considering t h e
losses incurred due to evacuation
Indeed, despite the high cost Of
living. few families seem to be in
serious want and some show signs
of ease and affluence that were
certainly not anticipated when the
people were still in the centers
On the other hand, deeper analy-
sis of the situation yields indi-
cations of a fundamental insta-
bility that could lead to considera-
BILE distress given certain turns in
the general economy. An estima-
ted Is per cent of the employable
population, for instance, is at pre-
sent unemployed BY contrast
with pre-war conditions. a large
percentage of the gainfully en-
ployed in the Japanese community
today are in the employ of Cau-
casians, and are engaged in semi
skilled or unskilled work which
give the least assurance of securi-
ty in the event of economic re-
cessions. At the same time, the
people have not vet established
themselves in private enterprises

preston. Those who have re-en-
tered business are in large part IL
