Teen-Age Panel Attributes
Bad Repute to Newspapers

Upholding their teen-age rights
a panel of five Woodrow Wilson
High School students last night
told the Connecticut Avenue Citi.
zens' Association the newspaper:
are responsible for giving an un-
fair picture Of the real delin-
quency rate.
The students were invited by
the association to give advice as
to what they thought parents
should be doing for their teen
ayers.
Lucinda Maharin, a senior, said
the newspapers have exaggerated
the facts and that "basically
teen-agers are the same today as
35 years ago." Larry Toombs, a
junior, joined her by saying that
"a good. healthy boy does not
make good copy today" and that
the newspapers are advertising
only the sensational crime cases
Believing their most serious
problem to be hot rod drivers, the
students said they thought more
interest on the part of teachers
and parents in the drivers train
ing classes, which now take care OF
only about 80 students in each
school, would tend to curb this.
The association Immediately
backed them in this position.
Parents also took their share OF

the beating. Feeling that the
home is the center of democracy
the group shared the idea that
much of the responsibility fol
Juvenile delinquency rests with the
parents.
Our independence is showing, y
said Diana Burk. She added that
while every teen-ager wants to be
advised, he should have some say
of his own in preparation for the
future.
Other students participating in
the discussion were William Clark
and Dorothy Stone, both seniors.

conducted the meeting in All

biographer.
In a review of the new book
"Mr. President" by William
Hillman, based on President
Truman's own diary, notes
and memoirs, Mr.. Daniels says
that it seems to be "a volume
prepared in farewell by a

who wants very much to de-
part with the understanding
and affection Of the people Of
the United States.

it." Mr.. Daniels added, "the

SALT LAKE CITY IN - Utah's
state property tax for 1852 was
completely eliminated Wednesday.
The elimination was made pos
sible by record collections of per
sonal income taxes and corporation
taxes.
Last year the state levy was 6.3
mills. The action cuts more than
half off the combined state and
local property tax levy of 1851,
which was Is mills.
The only property tax levy to
pay for the states q million dol
lar minimum school fund this year
will be the 6.4 mill local levy. The
property tax is used only for the
school program.
