What Is Fair in Family Discipline?
BY Kite Turmoil

Do arguments about what is fair
and wise discipline. for 9 teen
ager your age, disrupt harmony
at your house, too?
This is an almost-universal
problem which might be upset.
ting your parents even more than
it bothers you. Often it can be
solved to suit both generations If
you, can think and talk it out to-
gether, without being as stormy
as an old-time> back-shed dad
boy walloping. An exchange OF
ideas about discipline should be
as continual and flexible as your
teen-age changes. Also. it Is help
full to know the opinions of other
young and older people. including
family relations experts.
Surveys show that most high
schoolers are against harshness
especially physical punish
ment but believe that there
should be definite rules and pen
alties fixed by family councils.
They want parents to agree on
discipline but they feel out
numbered in a two-against-one
squabble in which the teen-ager
-. one against two parents is
not given his or her talk turn to
tell the teen-side of the story.
1t is also generally agreed that:
Discipline should be decided on
an individual basis. It should fit
the age. type and experience OF
the boy or girl; it should suit the
situation. Family, community and
young crowd customs should also
be considered. Ideal discipline
goes along with current conven-
tions and is out of line if it Is TOO
strict -. or TOO lax to fit
into today's social picture.
After you outgrow the spank
ing stage . which many experts
agree is an unsatisfactory solution,
even more upsetting for parents
than for you at any age d.
the usual penalty is a withdrawal
of privileges. After you pass the
period at which an early-to-bed
or no-treatS ruling is real hard
ship, it is customary to cut down
on date and social privileges. This
the teen-ager can accept . with
no loss of dignity or undue resent
ment if there is an advance
understanding, acceptable to all.
Rules which cannot be broken
without penalties should be dis
cuSsed ahead. Stern regulations
about unimportant matters should
be avoided. Once the rules are
definite, teen-agers are expected
to be mature enough to accept the
consequences without acting re-
sentful or abused or sulky. After
all is settled there should be no
nagging or talk-backs about mis-
takes for which penalties have
been paid.
Youth studies also show that
teen-agers find it hard to respect
the discipline of parents who are

cipline. teen-agers prefer to do
their own explaining.
From the adult viewpoint. par
ents do not want you to feel that
they enjoy being grim guardians
of iron-clad old rules. Like you,
they thrive on family harmony.
Above all. socially wise parents
do not want you to doubt their
loving loyalty and abiding love for
you. Without that. any discipline
might disturb the sense of security
which. psychologists say, is often
the down-deep cause for most mis-
behavior, at home or elsewhere.

that the Hoover Committee had
in mind the transfec TO the chair
man the extensive prosecuting
functions of the National Labor
Relations Board which had been
carefully separated by Congress
from the judicial functions. A
reading of the Hoover Task Force
Report shows clearly that, while it
believes the present division of
power should be somewhat
changed, it does. not approve the
abolition of the General Counsel.
The National Labor Relations
Board is unique among regula-
tory commissions. 1t is pecu-
liarly necessary that it be inn
partial as between employers
and labor unions, because'feeling
runs high between these two
groups. Some of the greatest
miscarriages of justice in Amer
lean history took place under
the original National Labor Re-
lations Board, and Congress was
peculiarly anxious that the pros
ecuting functions under the
General Counsel be separated
from the judicial proceedings
of the Board.
Now it is proposed tc make the
Chairman of the Board the chief
prosecutor and then let him sit as
the presiding judge to determine
whether his decision as prosecu-
tor was correct. Labor has COM
planned of the scope of the power
given to Mr.. Denham as General
Counsel. The new plan would
give three times that power to the
Chairman of the Board and make
him prosecutor, judge and jury.
THIS plan is worse even than
- the original plan which vested
all power in the Board. Such {
Board would necessarily have tc
delegate the prosecuting functions
to a General Counsel and did sc
before the Taft Hartley Law, with
little Board interference, but un'
der this plan every important de-
cision regarding a prosecution /:
likely to be passed on by the
Chairman himself.
1t seems to me highly Inn
proper for the President to use
the Reorganization Act to attempt
to reverse a matter of definite
policy recently determined by
Congress. Efforts to repeal the
Taft Hartley Law were defeated
in I949, and now 1t Is sought to
accomplish something of that
purpose by indirection. l shall

LIBRARY DEMONSTRATIONS

The house has defeated by
three votes a bill to spend thirty
six million, five hundred thou
sand dollars to aid the states in
library demonstrations. If we
had a surplus in the treasury
and no national debt, such a pro-
ject might be desirable. But with
a national debt of two hundred
and fifty-six billion dollars and
the uncertainty of future world
conditions, it seemed a poor time
to me to launch the federal gov
eminent in an entirely new field
that heretofore has been the
responsibility of states, cities and
counties. Few federal programs
once started can ever be stopped;
they go on through the years de-
handing more and more of the
taxpayers money.
Failure to balance the budget
and reduce the national debt will
endanger the security of our
country, the care of our disabled
veterans, Social Security pay
ments to retired workers and
every other worthwhile activity
of the federal government. The
budget can only be balanced if

administrative functions of the
United States Maritime Commits
sion to the Secretary of Commerce.
The plans are justified on the
theory that they will provide in
creased efficiency in management.
The more controversial plans
which save money are evidently
still under consideration and criti-
cism by the bureaus whose wings
are clipped, and they may not be
submitted at all at this session of
Congress.
Just as last year, the President
has included one plan which is not
in accord with the Hoover Com
mittee recommendations but de-
signed to carry out a political
policy of the Administration. That
is Plan No. IL which abolishes the
General Counsel of the National
Labor Relations Board, who was
given special powers by the Taft
Hartley Law, and transfers all his
duties to the Chairman of the
Board.
This plan, it seems to me, is
an attempt to use the Hoover
Report for political purposes
and as an excuse for carrying
out the Presidents general effort
to nullify the Taft Hartley Law.
1t is significant that the Citizens
Committee for Reorganization
of the Government specifically
endorses all the other plans but
does not endorse Plan No. IL.
WHILE there is a general rec
ommendation in the Hoover
Report that administrative respon-
sibility be vested in the chairmen
of regulatory commissions, it is
clear that this refers to trans
ferring from the board to the
chairmen the ,eTdinary ~Hay-to-day
