JUVENILE CASES
 CAUSE OF NATION
 WIDE CONFERENCES

WASHINGTON-Probably th e youngest and best-looking dollar-a- year woman ever to work for the government is Eunice Kennedy, daughter of Joseph P Kennedy, for mer U. s. Ambassador to Great Britain. She is also one of the working. She's member of Attorney General Tom Clarks staff in the Justice Department. Her main job is as executive secretary of the continuing committee of the National Conference on Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquent cy.
 The committee is made up of pri- vate citizens. It was set up to pup licize the recommendations made by the National Conference after its meeting in Washington in Novem- Der 1946 and to encourage communi- ties to do something about juvenile delinquency.
 The committee has distributed 40,- 900 copies of it's handbook, which details first steps in organizing such conferences. Several states have held conferences on the prevention and control of juvenile delinquency Among these are New Jersey, Calit- ornia an dGeorgia. In the planning stage are conferences for Arizona, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kentucky. City conferences have been held in Philadelphia. Kansas City and Atlanta. Many other cities. are preparing similar conferences.
 "The cost of handling the hun dreds and thousands of children whom society calls juvenile delin- quents,' and those who are tending toward delinquency for want cf proper care and opportunity,is bill which we pay" says the Con- mittee.
 "The bill increases hourly-More vital than money, the broken lives of these children rob us--the fami- lies and friends-of love and fel- lowship-the Nation of it's best hope
 The committee feels that the problem Is too big for any one per son. CT one organization. Confer ences, it holds, are the most effec- tive way of achieving concrete results. They are action conferences, not discussion conferences.
 Miss Kennedy. tall, athletic girl with coppery- -colored hair distin- guished by streak of gold across the top, with keen eyes and an easy, natural manner, was born in 1922 in Boston. She attended school in Brookline, Mass, Bronxville, N. Y. and later the Convent of the Sac red Heart at Stamford, Conn. She continued her education in Eng land while her father served as ann Lassador and was graduated from Stanford University in 1943.

Fairfax Citizens Unit,
Two on School Board
Will See Governor

Two members OF the Fairfax
County School Board will accom-.
pany a delegation of county citi-
zens scheduled to appear before Gov
Tuck tomorrow to urge immediate
emergency action for schools. They
are Alex Haight and George Reeves
who were designated by the School
Board yesterday.
The School Board at its semi
monthly meeting joined other coun-
ty officials in denying that their plea
for emergency school legislation was
forced by any special pressure group
Gov. Tuck had asked officials in all
Virginia counties supporting special
school legislation if they had been
"pressurized" into their stand.
The citizens delegation, known as
the Fairfax u County School Emer-
gency Committee, will be headed by
State Senator Andrew Clarke. They
will present a petition signed by l.
400 Fairfax Residents asking that
funds be made available for con-
struction of schools to care for the
increase of pupils. The petition urges
Gov. Tuck to call special session
of the General Assembly, if neces-
sary, to accomplish this.
The School Board received reports
from architects who inspected
cracks in a wall at Madison School
Falls Church, which that city Is
building inspector reported as haz-
ardous.
The Dixon g. Norman architecture
al firm reported that the cracks had
existed for at least IS years, and
said they would not feel "unduly
concerned about the safety of the
wall in its present conditions"
I'VE do feel, however, that since
the unsupported height Of the wal
exceeds present-day standards
steps should be taken to assure your.
selves that the condition of the wal
will not further deteriorate," the
report said.
