Stress Value Of Obedience

The Importance of children
obeying their parents as means
of building character was en-
phaSized to more than $50
youngsters yesterday by Capt.
John F. Ryan, head of the Met
ropolitan Police juvenile squad.
Regular attendance at church
and Sunday school is another
good practice in which children
can be taught to respect the
rights of others and avoid Grim
inaI temptations in their later
life, he added.
Capt. Ryan spoke at a rally
of the Church Group Crusaders,
held in the First Baptist Church,
Twenty-seventh street and Dunn
barton avenue NV. The organ
ization is composed of 13
churches of that area that are
trying to make their neighbors
regular church members.
Before Capt. Ryan's talk, about

Police today are hunting fol

at least eight automobiles parked
on Capitol Hill before dawn yes

On one car, all four tires were
gashed. Several others had pair
of tires ruined by the vandals
So far, six motorists have re-
ported the vandalism, police
have noted the ruined tires or
two other cars and expect tc
find several more cut tires in
the vicinity.
The vandals were described
as colored youths of about 1e
years. They were twice spotted
and chased but lost their pur-
SuerS both times.
Three sailors, sleeping in their
car after a party, woke to the
noise of air escaping from the
tires of the car. Police said the
sailors reported seeing the two
boys, both carrying long knives
moving from car to car along
the street. The boys fled from
the sailors and from Dale En-
mons, a Michigan visitor whose

Rayburn Is Witness
Al CoWart Trial in
Warehouse Fraud

House Minority Leader Sam
Rayburn of Texas and Alexander
Campbell, former head of the
Justice Department criminal
division, were among witnesses
called to appear in Alexandria
Federal Court today at the fraud
trial of Jack Cowart and two
Louisiana warehouse officials.
Cowart, 46, is the former dep
uty administrator of the Produc-
ton and Marketing Administra-
ton in the Agriculture Depart
ment who already has served an
18-month prison term for accept
ing a bribe.
Representative Rayburn was
among Is witnesses called by the
defense as the case went on
trial before Judge Albert ".
Bryan. Mr.. Rayburn was not in
court when the case began, but
defense attorneys said he would
be available when it came time
for him to testify.
Called by Both Sides.
Mr.. Campbell was called
among the defense witnesses and
also was one of AZ witnesses sum-
moned by the Government.
Two officials of a Louisiana
warehouse corporation were to
be tried jointly with Cowart.
They are Jack Motley, 43, and
Tom E. Foster, 46, who are the
former president and vice presi-
dent of the Baton Rouge Ware
house Co.. Inc.
Cowart and the two ware
house officials were indicted
jointly last December on the
fraud charge.
The idictment charges that
Cowart received 1853 shares of
stock worth $26,375 from the
Baton Rouge firm "for services
rendered and to be rendered" to
that firm. The indictment states
that Cowart was assistant to the
production and marketing ad-
ministrator in the Agriculture
Department at the time.
Mentioned at Hearing.
The Baton Rouge warehouse
firm was mentioned at Senate
Agriculture Committee hearings
in 1851. One of the names men
toned during the hearings was
that of Mr.. Campbell, who re-
signed from the Government in
1850 to make an unsuccessful
race against Senator Capehart,
Republican, of Indiana. An in
vestigator for the committee teS-
titled that the warehouse firm
relayed $4,000 to Cowart via Mr..
Campbell. Mr.. Campbell said he
was used" in the deal.
Foster and Motley, who are
both of Center, Tex, unsuccess-
fully tried to win a trial Sepa-
rate from Cowart's. They con-
tended their case might be
prejudiced because of Cowart's
earlier conviction on a bribe
charge.
Cowart, 46, was convicted in
Alexandria Federal Court in
May, 1852, of accepting a $1,000
bribe, while he was assistant
PIMA administrator, from Capital
Prefabricators of Tyler, Tex. He
was sentenced to 18 months in
prison and recently completed
the term.

Do Parents Expect Community
TO Raise Children for Them?

when they told me, in city after
city, that a lot of parents these
days are afraid of their own chill
dren-not only buffaloed by
them, but. actually, physically
afraid of them.
Sees Parental Fear.
Then ! saw for myself in San
Francisco. I went on motor pa
troll with three juvenile bureau
officers. I don't think I'll ever
forget the conversation in a
walk-up apartment in the North
Beach section, where we went to
answer a call.
A man was there in the sitting
room, a man about 48, father of
a 17-year-old boy. Il don't like
to ask people to help me with my
business, but I'm stuck. I'm at
the end of my rope" he began.
Then he poured out the story
Of the boy.
He stays out until and 4
in the morning. He's out some
where now don't know where.
He just takes off in the morning
and I don't hear a thing from
him until 3 am. He disobeys
everything I tell him. I can't
tell him anything. When / try to
talk to him he tells me where to
head in at" {
The mans voice cracked little
and his eyes dropped as he
added:
He thinks nothing of taking
a poke at me-"
At Rock Bottom.
When parenthood has hit that
level it must be at rock bottom.
How could it sink and further?
When a father must quake lest
his ripe-rotten son "take a poke"
at him-well, as we left the
apartment. I remarked to the
juvenile officers, "Okay. now I've
seen everything"
"If I'd ever have raised hand
! to my old man, I don't think I'd
have lived to tell the tale" one
Of the officers said.
"And you're better for it," an
other put in.
If vandalism is ever going to
be checked-if our schools and
parks are to be saved from raw
age and arson, our business
property from spoliation, and
our churches from defilement-
parents have got to get back on
the job. They're got to start
being parents again.
Police Commissioner Thomas
F. Sullivan of Boston put it
straight from the shoulder: eff
parents renege on their job,
there's nothing the rest of the
community can do. We'd need
one policeman for every child.
When the police went on strike
in Boston in 1919, every plate
glass window on Boylston street
was smashed within a few min
utes after the officers left the
street. There's your answer to
vandalism today. The police
aren't on strike-but the parents
are!"

PUBLIC CAN'T BE BARRED
FROM SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

The well-intentioned suggestion that the public
be barred from School Board meetings smacks of dictator
ship But the suggestion that complaints against teachers
should be filed with the Board is good as far as it goes It
should be extended to include members of the Board the
superintendent himself any member or members of the
public generally.
Too many thousands of hours have been wasted at
various public meetings Key West by men who had an
itching idea they had something to say and then wasted
much time in trying to it and said nothing of
crete nature At City Council meetings and at few the
city commission meetings permitted talk and
talk and talk chiefly about himself without saying word
about anything that pertinent to city affairs While
his talk was harmless was waste of time and sorey
taxed ones patience.
81 But at recent School Board meetings much Of the
talk tactless and bitter. The chairman should have
stopped it. Freedom of speech becomes abuse of speech
when language to vent his dislike Ga mild term
of this that person. He should be stopped and told
put his complaint in writing That would save time and
given him opportunity to cool down.
But to keep the public from attending the meetings
is going much too far The superintendent and members
the School Board elected by the public and the pub
lie pays their salaries Will the school officials when they
for reelection, wish to keep the public from attend
their political meetings? Yet the public should know
and does know, with few exceptions that the officials

rights Eecng the officials and paying their salaries do
not justify the public to abuse the officials The public
often wrong as the officials who serve it.

NOTES
By sos THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD M-The moral Of
this story is that if you work hard
enough and wait long enough,
you're liable to get what you want.
Guy Mitchell wanted to be a
cowboy. He also wanted to sing.
He was born Is years ago in De.
troit and made his singing debut
at the age of 3. His house was
full of wedding anniversary guests
and he chose the occasion to de.
liver few songs in lusty juvenile
voice. People have been asking him
to sing ever since.
He went professional when his
family moved to California a few
years later. Warmers signed him
for grooming as a child star, and
he sang on the studies local radio
station. But nothing much happen
end, and his family moved to San
Francisco.
That's when the cowboy yen
came in. He spent a lot of time
hanging around two Bay City sub.
urbs where cattle are marketed.
He got a job as a leather worker
and spent his summers on San
Joaquin Valley ranches. He even
worked in rodeos.
He began singing cowpoke ditties

BUSINESS
MIRROR
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-The June grad
uate is turning down the role of
Salesman-just when salesman
ship is about to play q return en-
gagement on the business stage.
Selling as a career appeals to
few of them, according to a num-
Der of college placement officers
around the country. Tops On the
list Of jobs the graduates like are
engineering, chemistry, account
ancy, personnel work and business
administration.
The space-ship wonder-lure of
the sciences-plus the high start
ing pay offered in these tight-sup-
ply professionals making it hard
for the company needing sales
men to recruit likely beginners.
Specialized engineers are in big
demand and earn high pay as
soon as they doff their caps and
gowns.
University placement officers In
New York, Illinois, California and
the South, all report the same
thing: June graduates look toward
the technical fields rather than
selling.
A scouting survey of schools
from coast to coast was made by
the president of the Vitamin Corp.
of America, Morton Edell, whose
firm hires and trains beginners
In the selling field. About the only
encouragement he got was from
three schools in the New York
area who saw a greater interest
this year than formerly shown by
the graduate-but only in using
selling as a stepping.stone to a
business management career.
Business is scouting for sales
men now because it feels that the
days of the hard sell may be APP
preaching again--that the buyers
market is upon US and good sales.
manship win become a prime nec-
essity.
Edeil estimates there are six
million statesmen, Of all types, In
the country and he thinks there
should be q good many more If
the United States is to ward off
any post-defense slump. His theory
is that when industry Is freed of
the last materials controls and
shortages II can produce new and
improved products. The statesmen
win have to produce the custom
ers.
The salesman's job Is to sell
discomfort. That is, he makes peo-
pie want more and better things.
High consumption in turn win
mean high employment.
