D. c. Juvenile Squad Is Outgrowng Its Baby Snocher Title

squad that was able to sort out the
boys tall stories and solve it.
Because the juvenile squad is
adept at getting thebtruth from its
young charges, it frequently is called
upon by the other Detective Bureau
squads to cope with young offenders.
"You have to know how to talk to
kids" 1t. Ryan explained. 1.-THE
tricks that work on adults don't
work on them at all. You can't
appeal to their reason. For instance,
when an adult starts lying, you can
show him you have the facts that
prove he's lying. At first. he'll insist
on his lies but then he breaks down
and admits the truth. His reason
tells him he can't win.
"You can't prove to a kid that
he's lied himself into spot. He
just keeps on telling more lies. It's
a waste of time to appeal to his rea-
son. With kid, you have to appeal
to his emotions. Love of his parents
works sometimes. Or you can say,

to the solution of another murder.
Last May 4 a 57-year-old watch

was found shot to death. On May
10, the 13-year-old was turned over
to the Juvenile Squad on charge
of housebreaking as he tried to dis
pose of a pistol. Pvt. Charles H.
Calderwood, now a probational de-
tective. and Pvt. Francis D. Smith
began questioning him about the
murder. They had a hunch juve-
niles were mixed up in it because
the juke box in the ElkS home had
been rifled for coins. They reasoned
that an adult offender would have
ignored such a small take"
The boy confessed" He even re-

the sprung door and demanded
whether the Marine knew he couldn't
turn right when an arrow in the
traffic light pointed forward only.
Corpl. Farkas apologlzed that he
didn't understand all the traffic regu-
ations and said he was sorry. Pvt.
Green stepped back into the street
to get better look at the automobile.
Say" he said. "aren't you the fell
low that's been in the papers? The
fellow with the lemons?"
Corpl. Farkas acknowledged his
identity. although for a moment he
didn't know whether that was good
or bad.
"All right, just be careful from now
on" Pvt. Greene said in final judg-
ment. This passenger got out of the
automobile. AS it chugged on up
Fourteenth street, Pvt. Greene kept
muttering. VERY interesting. very in
teresting."

Farkas offered this correspondent a
ride from Municipal Building to mid
town in the celebrated lemon"
Despite Corpl. Farkas' rough efforts
to remove the lemons from his auto
mobile, they were still visible when
we got in. A quick inspection showed:
The back seat was still out of place,
the front left door was too sprung to
shut properly. the hinges on both
front vent windows were broken and
the right front window would not roll
all the way down.
Corpl. Farkas lit up a cigar and
careful not to slosh any gasoline
drove slowly down F street to Four
teenth, where he turned right. A
policeman looked up in surprise and
waved Corpl. Farkas to curb.
"Oh, my gosh, what have I done
now?" moaned the Marine. his cigar
dropping.

a kid has any good left in him, he's
ashamed Of what he's done and he
won't talk about it in front of his
parents. We take him into the next
room with the door open where the
parents can watch us. Then he'll
talk"
1t. Ryan said parents are inclined
to disbelieve and fight back when
their child is accused.
IN say to mother, Madam.
your boy stole bicycle. We caught
him riding it, And the mother will
say, My boy couldn't steal bicycle.
You must have beaten him into
telling you that"
But parents are a vital part If the
juvenile squads work. The squad has
authority to keep case out of court
if the boy is a first offender, if the
crime is petty, If it was apparently
done on impulse rather than by pre-
meditation and If 1t. Ryan is satisfied
the boy realizes the seriousness of
what he has done. The parents also
are called on to keep him out Of
further trouble.
1t. Ryan said that out of $500
boys warned a year. about 120 are
lost" He calls it loss" when he
guesses wrong and the boy commits a
second offense. Then both the first
and second offense papers go to court.

The Police Department has been

When this Juvenile Bureau. de

took over transportation of all BOYS

of his mother. But he said he hadn't
done the actual shooting. He named
a 15-year-old boy who had left
town, and told police where to find
him in the Carolinas. The Homi-
eide Squad went after the older boy
and found him. But that lad denied
the younger one had been there at

located the third boy, 16-year-old,
who also confessed and also denied
the 13-year-old had anything to do
with it. BY an odd coincidence,
the policeman who arrested the 13-
year-old for HOUSEKEEPING was the

body of the slain night watchman.

Elmendorf was asked to clarity the
Nunivak sightings. The only message
that came through was. Nothing
there" Then all the lines to Alaska
went out. The atmosphere at Ent
was tense.
Swiftly and grimly the defense
system went about organizing itself.
There were calls back and forth be-
tween the Eastern, Western and
Central Air Defense Forces. There
were telephone conversations over
classified circuits between intelligence
officers Of each defense zone. The
general officer on duty at the Air
Force Command post in the Penta-
gon was consulted. "Hot-line" calls
went to the Strategic Air Command,
Evening star., 1952-08-24

the Tactical Air Command, Air Re-
search and Development Command,
the Air Proving Ground and the Air
Training Command. AL were ordered
to-:
Get the fighter and bomber crews
to the airdromeS.
Line up the greatest number Of
available aircraft.
"Get the logistics functions into
operation"
This Nationwide alert also reached
the commanders of the Sea From
tiers. Their duty officers were told
to stand by to take the necessary
action under existing arrangements.
It was only Al minutes before the
country-w radar network was fully
alerted. This kind of thorough, dead

ing. considering the large number Of
circuits involved.
BY this time an estimated time Of
arrival at Seattle had been COM
puted for the aircraft making the
Nunivak vapor trails. Their speed
was determined at 800 knots. They
would not hit the Seattle radar net
until about 4:30 am. It now was 3
o'clock. An hour and a half to 60.
Communication with Alaska was out.
And as Gen. Chidlaw consumed

sodes of such magnitude that they
obscure the long run upward move
ment. This brings heavy losses to
those who have placed themselves in
q vulnerable financial position.
In q temporary downtrend the
value Of imitation hedges can decline
precipitously. They did so in strik-
ing way during the deflationary in
terlude of 1887 and 1888, and they
have done so to a lesser extent sew
eral times since.
The trend now appears to be
toward more imitation, for that Is
the easier course to follow for those
in control of the Nations currency.
But we can't be sure whether there
is much more imitation ahead, or
defiation. Every imitation. however.
sooner or later. has to end in de-
f1ation.
When an individual is just begin
ming to save, his approach to the
imitation problem is necessarily diff
ferent from that of one who has
already accumulated some substance.
If he were earning, say, $1,000
year and began to put aside $500
of it, it would be some time before
he could do much to protect his
savings against imitation. For him
a prudent investment programme
gardless of imitation possibilities
would begin with q savings-bank
account sufficient for sudden emer-
gencieS. the purchase Of life insur-
ance and the acquisition of small
backlog Of Savings Bonds. None Of
these are imitation hedges and their
purchasing power would decrease il
imitation progressed, but because they
represent ready money and fixed
quantity Of dollars. there is no good
substitute for them.
The first imitation hedge for most
people is the down payment on a
dwelling place. It protects them from
an inflationary rise in rent. and the
value Of the property can increase
along with any further imitation.
After that, as savings accumulate.
about half should be placed in in
vestments Of fixed-dollar value such
as savings bank and building and
loan accounts and high-grade bonds.
and half in selected common stocks
Of railroads, utilities and particularly
companies that own or exploit nat
ural resources. Although goods and
commodities appear to be the best
of all imitation hedges, they aren't
suitable for the average person. They
are troublesome to acquire, expensive
to hold and extremely speculative.
The best policy, II circumstances
permit, is to divide what one has be-
tween conservative, flxed-value as
sets that will retain their value dur
ing a def1ation and equities that will
rise in price along with an infla-
tionary trend. Then, If one wishes,
he might advocate every measure
that can preserve the value Of the
dollar.
No matter what person does, an
all-out imitation will almost certainly
cause him losses, for in its later
stages it brings to halt the eco
nomic processes of the country. An
extremely painful readjustment has
to be made before production Of
goods is again sufficient to give the
Nation a comfortable standard Of
living.
The only real protection against
imitation is the same for every one:
A sound and stable currency. It
can't prevent the ups and downs of
the business cycle, but it can prevent
the extremes of imitation and defla-
ton that have at times ruined whole
nations.

This Is the whole story Of what
happened during the night Of last
April II, when . strange series Of
circumstances gave the authorities
reason to believe the United States
might be attacked.
AS it turned out, the alarm-it was
not an exerciSe-SubSided. but the
mystery remained. Most Of US slept
through 1t. But there was no sleep
for the Air Defense Command, its
commanding general, BENJAMIN W..
Chidlaw. nor for q dozen military
headquarters throughout the coun-
try.
The next day the newspapers made
only slight mention OF the dramatic
happenings. There was very little
given out. Gen. Chidlaw now tells
the story to show the working Of
ADO operations and intelligence.
Since all those involved with the
alarm acted with . full sense that
1t might be the real thing, the les
sons learned were doubly worthwhile.
Gen. Chidlaw calls the incident
Next to the real thing"
It was 1925 an. April II. when
the Combat Operations Center at

Base, Colorado Springs, Colo. was
alerted. The Western Air Defense
Force reported that four vapor trails

far from Siberia. They were at high
altitude and heading southeast. The
trails had been seen one hour and
inally had come through the Air

dorf Air Force Base, Alaska.
Something Hot
Having been hurriedly notified.
Brig. Gen. Kenneth Bergquist. ADO
deputy chief Of stan for operations,
called Maj. Gen. Frederic Smith, jr.,
vice commander.
I'VE have something hot-I think
you'd better come over" Gen. Berg

"They used to call us the baby
snatchers," said 1t. John F. Ryan,
"but not any more"
1t. Ryan heads the Police Depart
ment's Juvenile Squad. In the past
year this squad has solved three
murders, recovered considerable prop
erty, sent 3,740 cases to Juvenile
Court and put the fear Of the law
into more than 1000 other young
first offenders.
The latest murder broken by the
Juvenile Squad was the brutal Staying
of q Marine Corps clerk to which
17-year-old William Roland White
has confessed. Some of the shine
was rubbed off that glory. however,
when questions were asked about the
release of White from the Receiving
Home for Children after an assault
case two months earlier. Police de-
scribed the White release as routine
since the law specifies juveniles
should be released if a parent or
guardian will promise to produce
them in court. An exception, of
course, is made where the juveniles
crime is so serious that an adult
charged with a similar crime would
not be released on bond. The three
adults charged with White in the
earlier case were released on bond,
however, and the charges against
them later were nolle pressed.
The new juvenile squad-it viii
celebrate its second birthday as part
of the Detective Bureau in October
chalked up its first murder break last
August. Two small boys, James and
Fred Poole. had been found dead
victims of hammer killer. All men
of the Detective Bureau were assigned
to canvass the neighborhood because
Robert v. Murray, then chief Of
detectives, was convinced the killer
lived nearby.
Key Question
Three days after the Staying, 1t.
Ryan told his men to ask new
question. Was there any man in the
neighborhood who might be the
target for teasing from the children

said as he took the police to see
this strange man. The man struck
out at the child with a knife when
they approached. The Juvenile
Squad men gave chase. John

criminally insane. was shot down
dead. Precinct Detective James

Before making the award to the
34-year-old Atlanta newsman, the
Nieman committee gave careful
consideration to the outstanding
journalistic exploits of Gardner
before and after his affiliation with
the Daily World.
The Nieman committee noted
that Gordon advanced rapidly
from copy hoy on New York's PM
newspaper to the city desk as spe-
cial assignments reporter and later
to editorial jobs which included
assistant to makeup editor, assist
ant on tho national desk and chief
editorial clerk.
The committee was impressed
with the newsman's early journal
ism experience as founder editor
of the Washingtonian, a high
school paper published in his ma
tive Memphis, Tenn; his college
journalistic pursuits at LeMoyne,
and his two years Of work as a
field representative Of Service
Magazine, published at Tuskegee
Institute.
Upon joining the Daily World
staff n 1949 as associate editor,
Gordon master-mirded the man.

boree which drew $4,000 persons
into Horndon Stadium. He took
ratt in the half-hour dramatization
Of the Atlanta health survey story
broadcast by NBC radio stations.
The committee also considered
the initiative the young managing
editor took in projecting the Daily
World into the community as an
educational journal Of bettcrment
Of race relations rather than OF
the basis of sensationalism.
In commenting on this fellow
ship awarded to Managing Editor
Gordon, C. A. Scott, editor and
general manager, expressed sap
probation to the Nieman Founda-
ton for the signal recognition to
a member Of the Daily World staff
and congratulated the recipient"
Editor Scott also said he would
cooperate in enabling Mr.. Gordon
to accept the award which should
better prepare him to serve the
public as a working member of
the press"
