Boys Would Fight Delinquency,
Training School Inmate Says

"A boy who gets help from people
on the outside while he is in the
National Training School will al
most always work with them to
stamp out juvenile delinquency after
he gets out"
The speaker who addressed a
meeting Of the American Legion's
Internal Revenue Post last night in
Stansbury Hall might well qualify
as an expert on his subject. He is
Is and is serving a three-year term
at the National Training School for
Boys for having driven stolen car
across a State line.
A mixed audience of men and
women listened carefully as the boy
told them what he had learned
about juvenile delinquency from his
own experiences and those of his
friends at the school. He told them
it comes chiefly from neglect at
home. A contributing cause, he
said, is the difficulty in getting jobs
after finishing school.
Another youngster from the school
spoke In q similar vien.
After the speeches, four colored
inmates Of the school put on an
exhibition of weight-lifting. They
were followed by a series Of boxing
matches put on by others from the
school. The weight-lifters reap.
peared between bouts to sing spiritu-
ais as quartet.
The American Legion was making
an experiment. Encouraged by the
school and by the Attorney Generals
Committee on Juvenile Delinquency
the Legion is embarking on an am
bilious program against juvenile
crime.
One basic idea in the program Is
the individual sponsorship of boys
at the school by Legion members
The need Of the boys for personal
friendship by some one on the out
side has been impressed upon the
organizers of the program by the
boys themselves.
The sponsorship does not enc
when the boys are released from
the school. Through its contacts
with Legion posts in other cities
the Washington group hopes to put
the local program on a nationa.
scale. Posts In the boys home
towns will help the youngsters get
jobs and readjust themselves.
To sell the program to their own
membership the planning commit
tees are bringing the boys into the
meetings to tell their own stories.

PLAN ALASKA HOMESTEAD

VIENNA, June 4.-Since starting this in Frankfurt over a week ago, the DIP bill has more nearly reached the stage of being passed by Con gress with, I believe the admission of 100000 refugees provided. We've talked to MT. Pomeroy whom we met at the home of Col. and Mrs. Peter Goerz, Miriam's friends whom we are visiting.
 Though Col. Pomeroy's report re- garding possible settlement of DPS in Alaska was discouraging, he was so completely sold on the Territory of Alaska that he and his wife and possibly two or three other Ameri- can couples here in Vienna are planning to homestead in Alaska, start their own community in the Third Division, not far from Moose Pass. Their plans are extensive and will include taking with them their own DIP families for which they will be responsible.
 I refer anyone interested in the Displaced Persons, to Martin Som- mer's story in the May l issue of the Saturday Evening Post.

 He made that statement to news men immediately after a strategy conference with Senator Robert A. Taft. Stassen and Taft have been talking ways to stop Dewey's drive for the nomination.
 Stassen added that program is developing among candidates other than Dewey for an "open convention.
 The implication was that Dewey sought to swing the nomination through conferences and deals while the others were willing to leave it to open voting in the con- yention.

CONVENTION HALL, PHILA- DELPHIA, June 23-iRt-The Re- publican Convention today unani- mously adopted a l948 platform looking toward world cooperation for peace and defeat of Communism at home.
 The statement of party principles calls for civil rights legislation anti-lynch, anti-poll tax; non-seg- regation in the armed forces. These measures, when proposed to Con- gross by President Truman, split the Democratic Party apart.
 It accepts MT Truman's challenge to put the record of the GOP-con- trolled Congress before the thick of the Presidential campaign.
 Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Resolutions Commit tee Chairman, presented the 2,400- word document to the convention as "a fortnight, forward-looking guide to the American future He said it is the shortest platform in COP annals, but it says mouth full"
 The platform was adopted by a shouted vote of exclamation. Not a no was heard in the big hall and Chairman Martin declared the ac- tion unanimous.

New Jersey Delegation Makes Swing Blow 10
 Stop Movement
By JACK BELL

CONVENTION HALL, PHILA- DELPHIA, June B. R Gov. Thomas E. Dewey picked up another "Favorite Son. packer today in his drive for the Republican Presiden- tial nomination. This time it was Coy. Alfred E. Drscoll, leader of New Jerseys 35-vote convention delegation.
 The New York Governors packers already were claiming the nonina- tion was assured when Driscoll bumped for Dewey.
 Senator Robert A. Taft and Har- old E. Stassen disputed that and were trying to line up hard-core, Stop Dewey" coalition.
 They sought support from back CTS of Senator Arthur A. Vanden- berg who gave consent only this morning for his name to go formally before the convention.
 But even some of Vandenberg s warmest supporters figured the moves in his behalf were too little and too late.
 Driscoll had been one of the big gest rooters for the Michigan Sem ator.
 They figured Driscoll's move was heavy blow both to the Stop Dewey" movement and to Vanden- berg's chances.
 Gov. Dwight Green, "Favorite Son" of Illinois. announced support for Taft. He said the States 56 votes would go to the Ohio Senator on the second ballot. Taft has been counting all along on majority of the Illinois delegation, so this an- nouncement lacked the impact of Driscoll's.
 An Associated Press survey before Driscolls move indicated Dewey was sure of BAT to 407 votes with 548 needed to win.
 For the, first time in the big hall here, Vandenberg banners put in an appearance. A truck drove up with load of them soon after Sigler announced he had the Michigan Senator's consent to put his name before the convention.

 WASHINGTON-By fast foot work and glib tonguework. Wyo- ming's Republican Congressman, Frank Barrett, badgered the House into approving bill transferring 30 acres of Federal property to his state.
 Scarcely one minute after the House obligingly gave it's unani- nous consent, New Works Con- gressman Vita Marcantonio rush. ed onto the floor with letter from the Interior Department. This pointed out what Barrett had neglected to mention, that the 80- acre tract was rich in oil and that the Federal Government expected to reap one to two million dol lars in royalties. Of this 5ls per- cent was supposed to be spent for reclamation benefitting all the Western states-not merely Wyo- ming.
