JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY

Several of the causes which have
appeared with regularity why
youngsters become delinquent are:
l. Broken homes including
homes which have been shattered
through death, divorce, desertion,
incompatibility or for some other
reason.
2. Neglectful Parents-the i'm
questionable child generally as
sumes the warped or lackadaisical
views of his parents, and it is
not unusual to find in the back
ground of the young offender one
or more parents suffering from
an utter lack of realization of

the community.

France Insists on Trade
In Letting Russians Leave
Dy The Assoeiossd Press

PARIS, Dec. 22.-The French
Foreign Ministry said today that
Russians holding French citizenship
papers will be permitted to leave
France only when and as French
nationals In the Soviet Union re-
ceive requested exit visas.
The ministry said it had received
a note from Soviet Ambassador Al
exandre Bogomolov asking France
to permit the repatriation Of Ar
menians holding Russian citizen
ship.
French officials commented that
France places no obstacle to the
repatriation Of emigre Russians who
have reverted to Russian citizen
ship, but that Russians who have
French nationality by naturaliza-
ton or birth are in a different cat
egory.
These, said Foreign Ministry Of
ficials. will not be permitted to leave
France as long as the Soviet gov
ernment refuses exsit visas to
French nationals in the Soviet
Union who desire to return to

Criticism Of Britain 5
Controls |I|-Informed,
|nverchapeI Says
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

DETROIT, Dec. 22.-Lord Inver-
chapel, British Ambassador, declared
today that criticism of Britain's s
control system is ''ill-informed."
Noting suggestions that Congress
should make the abolition Of con-
trolls in Europe a condition of Amer
ican assistance under the Marshall
plan, Lord 1nverchapel said there
have been contentious that the con-
trolls are due to experiments in
socialism.
1T is true that here and there
some of them are" the Ambassador
asserted in addressing the Economic
Club. But the main controls which
We have to impose in Britain today
have nothing at all to do with
socialism.
Can any one seriously suggest
that we should do away with the
rationing of food and clothing?'
Lord Inverchapel asked. Surely
we should rather than take pride
in the fact that, in the. strained
circumstances In which we find our
selves today, We are at least sharing
the necessities Of life on fair basis
for all ="
Our import controls, our ex-
change controls. our controls Of raw
materials are all imposed upon us
because we have to restrict our i'm
ports to the minimum of food to
keep us alive, and to the essential
raw materials for our industry. If
we did not discipline ourselves we
should quickly 60 bankrupt.
This would mean first that our
industry would slow down for lack
of raw materials. Secondly, we
should 60 hungry because we can
not grow enough food in our is
lands. Thirdly, all hope OF Euro
pean, or indeed world recovery would
fade, leaving you a spectacle of
chaos and ruin across the ocean.

OF 5 Friars as Spies
by the Assoeiotsd Press


BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec. ~.

Radoshi in Italy"

of Parenzo and Pola was detained
, by Yugoslav authorities briefly at
a roadblock in the Istrian Penin-
sula last January. but was re-
leased. Most of the peninsula
was transferred from Italy to
Yugoslavia under the Italian
peace treaty.
Belgrade newspaper accounts of
the trial quoted Sempliciano Albino
-Gomiero, superior of the monastery
of st. Anthony in Pola and chief
defendant, as having testified that
Church regulations do not permit"
espionage work. but that he was
getting orders from my superiors." "
The Communist newspaper Borba
reported yesterday that seven other
friars had been sentenced to forced
labor for terms ranging from six
months to six years on charges of
engaging in acts against the govern
ment of Premier Marshal Tito.
They were accused Of organizing an
underground railroad for the escape
of "Ustashi and Chetnik war GRIM

ST. John S, Gonzaga
In Title Tilt Tonight

A hot dish of basket ball is on the
menu at the Tech gym tonight
when st. Johns and Gonzaga clash
for the mythical Catholic champion
ship.
st. Johns looks the favorite, ac-
cording to the record book, but
records are of little value when these
two arch rivals meet.
The Johnnies gave the Eagles an
idea of what to expect by running
up q record 80 points last week
against Georgetown Prep and later
tripping a strong Woodward five.
1t was the first setback for Wood
ward in II games.
In their last meeting, st. Johns
outscored the Eagles, 1896, but the
Eagles were late starter this season
and now are more experienced.
Pacing the Johnnies' attack are
high-scoring Jack George, Billy
Martins, Brad Pusey and Vince
Durkin.
The Eagles boast reliable point
getter in Johnny O'Keefe, who
should get plenty of help from Joe
Hitselberger, Frank Griffin and Jack
Spicer.

Armed in Santa Anita
Likely 10 Cut Field
To Few Starters
BY the Assoeiofed Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. 2o.-Santa
Anita may have been guilty Of a
slight misstatement when it said the
the presence of Armed would lend
distinction" to the field in the COM
ing 100000 Santa Anita Handicap.
The correct word might be "ex-
tinction"-for the other horses in
the big race March 1.
With due respect to the eligibles
already here for the race, Armed
will stand out like Joe Louis at a
taffy pull. For latest references, ask
the horses he's run down in three
races in a row at Hialeah. They're
no different, If as good, as the horses
here.
Track officials here are delighted
that Owner Warren Wright plans
to fly his handicap champion here
Monday If Armed comes out of the
Widener Handicap satisfactorily
Saturday at Hialeah.
For one thing, what would other
wise be q bulky fleld-as many as
80 are listed as probable starters
will be- trimmed down considerably.
Some owners will be most reluctant
to plank down $1,000 in entry and
starting fees If Armed runs.
Local interest, meaning additional
50 bettors, plus national interest will
increase materially with the cham
pion in the race.
Racing being the risky business 1t
Is. however, there will be a field
against the Wright horse. Running
q mile and a quarter on successive
week ends, broken by a 3,oO0-mile
air trip, plus top weight of 129
pounds, is quite gamble.
And past records of the hundred
grander are well sprinkled with big
name horses who wound up in the
also-ran, ranks: Equipoise, Twenty
Grand, Discovery. Head Play, Mate
and Challedon.
